Better Pitching n
Big Leagues This

There has been q decided im-
provement in major league
pitching during the first lev
weeks Of the season. The box
men have evidently recovered
from the mental hazard caused
by the lively ball. 3
During the past few seasons
the pitchers have been more or
less handicapped by the constant
threat Of home runs. The fear
of impending drives over the
fence wa 81 constant bugaboo 70

USES ARTISAN WELL
FOR POWER ON RANCH

wonders never cease at the IA
nous Pahrump ranch where the
cows wear golden teeth and the hogs
fatten on grapes and fgs. The new
management is installing an electric
generating plant operated by an un-
dershot Pelton water wheeiactuated
by the flow from an artesian well
with a head that will light the en-
tire ranch and furnish power
for a refrigerating plant and
other farm equipment. The equip
ment for the ice plant was received
at Death Valley Junction this week
and now is safely delivered at the
ranch. The company proposes de-
veloping the place to the full capacity
of the irrigable area and one Of these
days expects to have not less than
5000 acres under cultivation for
one of the greatest stockgrowing
propositions In Nevada. The Winters
at Pahrump are SO mild that stock
thrives outdoors In the depth of Win
ter and the saving effected by elimi-
hating Winter stock losses represents
a good interest on the capital in
vested.
The electric equipment will be OF
great value as a labor saver in H.
Eliminating the immense ranch and
facilitating the work of irrigating
which is done chiefly during the might
to avoid exposure to the intense heat
Of the day and the loss of water by
evaporation.

HOUSES SHOT FROM GUN

Shooting" houses put of a gun"
is the latest wrinkle In concrete con-
struction, writes Cleveland Gaines in
Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
gun consists of a n~ozzle-like affair at
the end of a 3-inch hose. Dry con-
crete is put into a %container and
water forced through 1t. The mix
lure is thus made at the last moment
before 1t is applied.
In building the first Of the houses
in this fashion a one-sided framework
of tar paper and chicken wire was
erected. Iron reinforcing rods were
placed against this and the concrete
shot against it with the use of a gun.
A wall two inches thick was shot
in this way. allowed to dry. and the
tar paper and chicken wire peeled
off. The result was a solid con-
crete wall. Doors. windows and
plumbing were put in place and the
wall shot around them.
In similar fashion ceilings, floor, a
fence around the yard and other
parts of the house and yard were
shot. Seats were shot into the wall
at one place. decorative designs In
another. and so on. The resulting
house and yard was q complete home

gun employed ~wallboard In place OF

MISS RUSSELL'S X

In the autobiography of Lillian
Russell. the celebrated actress who
died recently. which is 10Y appear
ing in one Of the magazines, there
are included ten maxims for feminine
guidance. These maxims sum up the
philosophy of Miss Russell's own
long and useful life, and form a no
table list of common-sense express
sions.
The list follows:
/. Have faith in your mirror.
though you doubt all other friends.
2. Femininity means the power to
make or unmake men.
3. Let your first glimpse OF the
day be heavenward.
4. Common sense Is the most glor-
ious gift a woman can possess. for 1t
Is the handspring of all of the work
ings of her mind.
S. Your appearance is but your
introduction; your reality is within.
6. Smile honestly and you are
obeying Gods commandment ito
give" Give Joy and pleasure and
you will reap the reward a hundred
fold.
Z. Beauty may be judged from any
point of view. We Americans are
young enough to take Nature as our
model.
s.. All things are just as beautiful
and good as they appear.
8. 1t Is better to leave something
yet to be done. than to spoil every
thing in the OVERRIDING.
10. | cannot imagine any n en-
joying life who does not acknowledge
goodness and blessedness.
