IN YEARS GONE BY
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
(From The Silver State Files)


In Justice Rutherford's court this
morning James Glen, tramp ar
rested by Constable Nofsinger yes
terday for selling whiskey to In
dams, was given twenty days in the
county jail.
Those who don't know how mis-
takes get into newspapers should
try to run one for awhile.
The nickle mines in Cottonwood
canyon, near Loveloek, will start
up full handed in a few days. The
work will be under the management
of Charles b. Turner, mining
engineer and metallurgist. The
property is very promising, and Mr.
Turned has an electrical process tc
reduce the ore, which will surely
make it a delivered prayer.
Frank Zimmershead of Unionvile
is in town.
Miss Gertrude Abel returned
from Salt Lake yesterday and lefi
for her home in Toll House thi:

AMERICAN AID
in VOLCA-

Sixty millions of dollars is huge
sum; when paid in exchange for
millions of human lives it fades
into significance. Secretary Hoover S
report to President Harding on the
activities of the American relief ad-
ministration in Russia shows that
amount of money was modified, in
Guiding Congress- appropriation of
$20,000,000 and a contribution of
$11 100000 from the soviet govern
ment. OF the entire fund not a
penny was spent for administration
purposes, the soviet government
furnishing a force of $4,000 per-
sons to distribute the food.
Up to July 1, Mr.. Hoover reports,
178 shiploads of food have been dis
tributed in the famine area, total
ing 788,000 tons. More than 81
100000 famine victims have been
fed, a greater number then the
population New York City. On top
of this great record of altruistic
activity it is discouraging to be told
that this years crops will be suffi-
cient to feed only 30 per cent of
the famine area population. Yet
that is the information brought by
Morris S. Kenworthy, who has been
in charge of the relief work of the
American Friends Society.

A SAFETY FIRST
SUMMER

The Safety Institute of New York
is sending out warnings in the form
of advice to parents everywhere
that the season is upon them de-
manding extra watchfulness over the
conduct of their children, especially
those of the more tender years
Of an approximate 20,000,000 chill
dren given liberty by the end OF
the school term, the Safety In
stitute estimates that 5000 will be
killed and 100000 suffer injuries OF
varying severity during the vacation
period. These figures are based
upon the ratio of other years, and
in the absence of some special eau.
ton by parents, may be verified BY
the records at the end of August.
The Institute offers the sugges-
ton that little time devoted to q
special training of the children
against the more common risks will
be rewarded by better results than
an attempt at mere watchfulness
alone. According to the Safety In
stitute the larger number of lives
lost from fire, drowning and auto
mobiles, and the most dangerous
age is fixed at seven years. 1t is
about that age, according to reports
that children are first freed from
close parental restraint and watch
ing, and stumble into dangers
against which curiosity and ignor.
ance has not been warned.

HUSBANDS GIRLS
PREFER

1t has been customary for long
time at mems colleges to have the
seniors answer questions as to the
qualities they prefer in girls. Now
the girls colleges are collecting
statistics of their preferences
Wisconsins university has an at
tendance larger than Yale or Prince
ton. 1t is co-educational, so that
the girls have the opportunity to
compare opinions with the boys.
A QUESTIONABLE filled out by the
girls gives a list of the most COM
mon faults they find in men and
also the qualities that the desire in
their future husbands.
The most common fault that the
girls found in men is conceit. Rude
ness is next and insincerity third
Lack of morals is near the foot OF
the list, with laziness and selfish
ness running almost even with
drunkenness.
The quality most desired in mer
is ambition, with intellect second
and strong character ranking
high. Only a few girls admitted
that they wanted husbands with 8
large income. The possession OF
money ranked lower than "nict
disposition" or "a sympathic ma
ture." Not many of the girls
ranked the possession of beauty oil
even good looks as very desirable
on the part of their future hus-
bands.
One thing that some of the girls
did puzzle over was why the best
men take the most empty-headed
girls?" 1t might be suggested that
possibly the empty-headed girls paie
more attention to studying men and
how to handle them than to study
ing their books and making goot
recitations.

STEPPING ON
THE GAS

American motorists during May
according to figures just made avail
able, burned up" more than $780,
100000 gallons of gasoline, an in
crease Of az per cent over the con-
sumption in May 1921. No more
reliable barometer could be cited ia
prove that prosperity in this country
is rapidly nearing full-bloom,
To the discerning motorist this
wholesale use of automobile fuel
dashes his hopes Of reduction in
gas prices this year. Only a short
time ago the motor world was
thrilled with the news that the gas
reserve was the highest in the ma
tons history. According to the
laws of economics that ought to
have meant a drop in price. But
on top of that comes an. unprece-
denied shrinkage in the reserve sup
ply-in fguers S5,000,0OO gallons
over that of May land the re-
serve instead Of reaching the billion
mark as predicted will not get
within hailing distance of it.
And SO somebody is always TAX
ing the joy out of life.p In this
instance it is the motorist himself
If the law Of supply and demand is
to operate then the remarkably high
consumption points in just the OPP
posite direction to lowering OF
the price.

TRAGEDY RECALLED
IN BUCKEYE SHAFT

A reminder of the gruesome
tragedy was found in the bottom
of the Buckeye shaft which is be-
ing lowered under contract with
the Tonopah Belmont company,
Workmen were engaged cleaning
out the shaft at a depth of 1900
feet when they picked up shoe
that was identified as part of the
missing apparel of the late Alexan-
der Mckenzie who committed sui
.cide four years ago by plunging
headlong down the shaft. 1t will
be recalled that the velocity of the
descent stripped the body of cloth
ing and contact with the rough
sides of the hole caused bruises
that rendered the body almost I'M
recognizable. The find was made
by Bob Dalzell, at that time de-
putty chief of police.-Tonopah

CRAZY


The recent estimate asserts that
there are more men under arms in
Europe now than in the days be-
fore the war when Germany was
at the height of her military power.
That is pretty poor compliment
to the common sense of Europe.
In 1914 generation that had
been at peace longer than the aver
age memory had some excuse for
not knowing what war would do to
it. Everybody in Europe now knows
what war is like. Their broken
and manned remember and remain
Their hungry, kept alive by the
charity of nation 5000 miles
away, ought not to want more war
The taxpayers ought to be satisfied
not to risk more war. And YET
these nations stand, like scratched
besmeared, disheayeled, bloody
nosed youngsters in an alley, with
doubled-up fists, ready to fly al
each other again.
Pugnacious alley brats can be
spanked and set to useful work
The boosted intelligence of our sup.
posedly civilized world seems UNI
able to accomplish so much.

 The flock of pelicans that live and breed on Lake Yellowstone num- bers about 400. They "summer" aristocraticslly at the lake. feasting on the best the land affords from spring until September. then to their winter resorts along the Gulf of Mexico.
 Strictly Monogamus.
 The bird diets almost exclusively on fish, and. 80 far as the Yellow stone and other Rocky Mountain lakes and streams are concerned. this means exclusively on trout. He estimates that the 400 pelicans con- sumo more trout than are taken dur ing an entire season by sports men.
 The pelican Is no respeoter of size limits or open seasons, Professor Ward charges. He declared he had seen a platoon of 9S pelioans ranged across stream in regular formation, preying on the trout as they swan up to spawn. Hitherto. the stream had yielded trout eggs by the mill lions but hatchery men this year could gather only . fraction of the normal amount.
 The fact Is granted that Mir. Pel- ioan's homo life is above reproach. He Is a good provider. a good hus- band and father and is strictly homogeneous. For the 400 birds in the Lake flock, there are just 200 nests, one for each couple and one mate for each bird. There are no "triangies" in the Yeilowstons ''4oo. [.
 If further investigations justify 1t. Professor Ward will ask the federal government to bar the pelicans as summer visitors from the park.
