W0MEN'S LEAGUE
BEING ORGANIZED

The League of Women Voters,
branches of which are being organ
lied in Nevada towns by Mrs. Win
field R. Smith, national organizer,
of Washington, d. c., came into be-
ing in response to the belief and
realization that "mere possession of
the ballot is not enough" Mrs.
Smith told members of the Century
Club at their meeting in Reno, says
the Gazette.

not political but educational one,'
Mrs. Smith said, land its object is
to see that every women voter is a
member of political party and has
an understanding of public ques-

to fit tightly and securely together.
And around theInterior Of the refriger-
ator run lodges upon which rest wire
shelves for the accommodation of arti-
Giles of food.
In use, the sections are first Inn
mersed In water until well saturated
Then they are put together and the
refrigerator Is placed near window
or In some other place where it will be
exposed to current of air, thereby
encouraging evaporation. The more
rapid the evaporation the cooler will
be the interior Of the contrivance. To
keep the walls wet and thus secure
continuous operation Of the device,
narrow ring-shaped troughs that run
around the outside of the refrigerator
are supplied with water from time to
time.

COOL WATER WITHOUT ICE
Old Idea Of "Refrioerator" Has Been
Improved Upon by Michigan
Inventor.

Anybody who has lived on board
ship In the tropics knows what a "wa-
ter monkey" is. Indeed, the contri-
vance Is In rather common use on land
In hot ATTITUDES. 1t Is a receptacle
of porous earthenware with capacity
of some gallons. and filled with water
Is hung up In shady and breezy
place. Thereby evaporation is encour-
aged and the water Is sufficiently
cooled to be palatable for drinking.
A new kind of iceless refrigerator
based on the same principle Is the
invention of Detroit man. 1t Is made
of porous earthenware In sections that
fit together. one advantage of the sec
tional arrangement being that the af-
fair can be handled and moved about
with less danger of breakage. The
material of which 1t is made is rem
dered less fragile. however, by wires
running through the walls to serve as
reinforcement. 1t has a tightly fit
ting cover with a knob on top for
lifting the latter Off and this cover Is
REINFORCED by wires In the same way.

Well Spouts Clay.

There was reported some time ago

blue clay has taken the place of both
sand and water. There seems to be
an endless supply of the clay. and the
pressure upon 1t I'm the bowels Of the
earth must be tremendous. 1t COM
pletely fills the 6-inch pipe, and issues
at the top like gigantic sausage,
rising to height of five or six feet
before 1t topples over. 1t is necessary
to remove the deposit of clay In order
to save the well from becoming buried
under 1t. The clay does not flow con-
tinuously. but. 1t is said usually COM

MOTOR LAW FOUND
TO BE FOOL PROOF

The missing cog in the legal ma
chinery designed to operate the
motor vehicle act has been found.
1t was discovered in Ely in an OBJ
scure section of the statute and
affords a complete remedy for the
ills that beset the law as it applied
to motor registrations, according to
county authorities here, says the
Gazette.
In letter from James M. Lock-
hart, Ely attorney, the attention
of District Attorney Summerfield
was directed to section nine of the
motor vehicle act which, while deal
ing with non-residents, supplies the
prohibition element lacking in the
section covering registrations and
license fees, and by reason of this,
the general law providing penalties
for misdemeanors, may apply in
cases of failure to register and pay
the license fee fixed by the statute.
Under heading of non-residents,
section nine of the motor vehicle
act says:
mo person shall operate or drive
a motor vehicle or cause a trailer to
be drawn upon a public highway
after the thirty-first day of Decem-
Der, 1921, nor shall an owner of a
motor vehicle or of any trailer per-
nit said motor vehicle or trailer to
be SO operated, driven or drawn
after said date unless the require
ments of this act relative to regis
tration of motor vehicles and trail
ers shall have been in all respects
complied with"
The motor vehicle act does not
say it shall be unlawful for any per-
son to fail to register his car, ex-
cept in section nine as above quoted.
In the original presual of the act,
therefore, this prohibitory clause
was overlooked and although it was
found in an obscure and totally I'M
expected place, it will have the eff
feet of making the general law APP
plicable. The latter which COM
prises section 628S of the revised
law, is as follows:
whenever performance of any
act is prohibited by any statute and
no penalty for the violation of such
statute is imposed, the committing
of such an act shall be a INSIDE
meanor."
The motor vehicle act of 1921
does not impose penalties for viola
ton of any of its provisions and to
enforce it, it will be necessary to
resort to the general law.
Until today when Mr.. Lockhart's
letter was received, the authorities
had concluded that the only manner
in which to force payment of motor
vehicles fees would be through civil
action or by prohibitory ordinances
enacted by various city govern
ments. Steps to have these ordi-
nances passed already had been
taken.

THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
WITH THE FORK

No rule is SO general, which admits not
some exceptions.--Robert Burton.
A BOUT the fork centers good
~ deal of controversy. and on this
subject the well-bred English
person always disagrees with the we'll
bred American who Is as yet uinfiu-
enced by British notions. The Eng
lishman insists that the fork, when
used with the meat course. should new.
er be taken from the left hand. and
that 1t should be held always tines
down; while the average well-bred
American sees no harm In shifting II
to his right hand when he is using 1t
to convey food from his plate to his
mouth. and In turning 1t tines upper
most when he finds that most convent
ent. When he does this. the British
er says he is using his fork like a
shovel. and this to him Is unpardon-
able.
The fact seems to be that the Brit
lsh mode Is spreading and that In
many. II not most, boarding schools,
where good manners are insisted on
as much as French or English and
rather more than arithmetic and geog-
raphy. the British way with the fork
is insisted upon. But remember that
there is authority for both methods.
and that many well-bred persons are
none the less well bred because they
cling to the American method.
But however you use your fork, see
that you don't clutch 1t too greedily,
and likewise see that you do not cram
the fork with food with the aid of the
knife. 1t is extremely awkward and
bad manners to use the fork as a
masher In eating potatoes and other
vegetables. You should simply detach
bit Of the potato by means Of the
tines of the fork, and carry this to
the month without crushing 1t between
the tines. Never put more on the
fork than you can take In one mouth
full. Some persons you know take a
large morsel on the fork at once, and
then take II In two mouthfuls at once.
This Is a small matter, but 1t Is one
Of those little things that constitute
bad table manners.
Never use the fork In order to reach
for anything that Is not on your own
plate. II food Is served to you on
serving dishes, there should be serv-
Ice spoons or forks. and you should
help yourself by means Of these just
as you would In your own home. If
the bread plate Is out OF reach the
very ill-mannered person sometimes
reaches 1t by means of his fork.
Some persons forget that when the
fork Is not actually In use conveying
food to the mouth that II must be laid
across the plate. II should not simply
be laid with the prongs resting on the
plate, much less should 1t be held in
mid-air. Some persons, when they
wish butter on potatoes or other vege-
tables, take 1t from their butter plates
by means of the fork. If there Is no
butter knife, then the regular knife
should be used. On nA account should
the fork be used for this purpose.
