AMERICAN GIRLS
MIMIC OTHERS

It would be deplorable IL all
American girls, or the average
American girl, or = majority of
American girls, or a considerable
proportion Of American girls, are
described truthfully by an English
novelist who writes as follows:
Unbalanced, cigarette smoking
and undisciplined morsels of sex,
Turing men to find new lips to be
kissed"
There are "undisciplined morsels
Of SEX" as there were when Salome
danced before Herod, and That's
accompanied Alexander the Great
upon his great Asian marches,
says the louisville Courier-J Journal.
One remembers Salome and That's
without having heard Of the mil
lions Of their contemporaries who
know how to knead bread and bake
and sweep and make swaddling
clothes.
One "undisciplined morsel of
sex" gives her sex, in jaundiced
eyes, its standing. By the excep-
ton a. often as otherwise, is prov
ed the type that rules.
Denunciation sometimes serves
the ends Of publicity to a certain
class Of writer's. But while de-
nouncing the American girl as q
very forward March chick how
could any one charge the American
girl peculiarly with smoking ciga-
rettes?
White women-squaws had the
habit before America was discover
ed-first smoked tobacco in Eng
land and France. When this coun-
try was q wilderness, with the white
settlers hacking with their axes al
its edges, London women of fash
ion were smoking pipes in places OF
public entertainment.
The modern revival of smoking
by women began, American women
are assured, in England. Twenty
years ago the astonished American
correspondent cabled the news that
British debutantes smoked ciga-
rettes "openly" at the Ascot races

BAD DAY FOR
AIR PILOTS ELKO WAY

Pilot Eaton, on the Reno to San
Francisco run, formerly a flyer on
the Reno-to-Elko division, crashed
yesterday and his plane burned.
according to reports reaching this
city this morning. Eaton himself
has not been heard from but air
mail authorities believe that he Is
safe. Eaton's accident, It is said,
was due to the dense fog now
hanging over the route, says the
last issue Of the Elko Independent.
Pilot Scott, flying from Salt
Lake City to Elko, arrived over
this city this morning at half past
eight o'clock, which was scheduled
time for the mail pilot. He found
the fog SO dense, however, that he
was unable to land and flew about
over the city until ten o'clock be-
fore he found an opportunity to
land. Even at that time, he stated
he took the long chance in bringing
his plane to earth.

In other words, Kovachy said,

effect as asphyxiation.

RECREATION PARK
IN ELk0 COUNTY

The proposition of getting the
forest service to build a road up
the Lamoille canyon and set a por-
ton Of this wonderful part of the
Ruby mountains aside as a recrea-
toin place for the public is occu-
plying the attention of the public,
according to the Elko Free Press.
The Progressive Business club Of
Eklo was recently appealed to api
asked to take the lead in the mat
ter and obtain from all the clubs,
societies, associations, ETC., a senti-
ment which could be chrystalized
and forwarded to the chief offices
Of the forest reserve at the nation
al capital, who might then take
steps to carry out the wishes Of
the northern Nevada public.
1t is understood that the forest
reserve officials are on record that
this canyon will be set aside for
the use Of the public by the gov
eminent without cost to the people
providing that the people will de-
clare desire.
At the very outset the first ques-
ton which appeared was what por-
ton Of the national forest would
be withdrawn and how would the
proposed playground affect the stock
interests in the matter of range.
The forest officials said that it was
the plan to set aside about three
hundred acres Of ground adjacent
to the lakes at the upper end of
the canyon, which would be given
to the public as a camping ground.
and from which each and everybody
could obtain a small plot of ground
on which to erect summer cottage
at a. yearly rental Of one dollar.

The fashionable galoshes that are
now tapping about the ankles Of
pretty girls were first introduced In
America about 1880 In Boston. The
galoshss or boots were as ugly and
clumsy As they are today. but were
even more popular. They required
peculiar care. as the manufacturers
had little knowledge Of the use Of
rubber gum. In winter they frose
hard and stifY. and had to be thawed
out before they could b worn, and
care had to be taken not to thaw
them too well. or they would run into
a sticky mass. IN the summer they
got sticky and shapeles unless kept
on ice and taken out during a rain
storm only. No one who was anyone
thought his or her toilet complete

watched carefully, for once they start
