Topography of the Air.

Explorations of the air have re-
vealed an astonishing deflniteness of
arrangement In Its layers. although,
OF course, the details are continually
changing. Ley, In England, has d.
rected his studies of floating balloons
to a solution of the question of the
influence of the topography Of the
earth's surface on the state Of the air
above II. He finds. among other things.
that the disturbances produced by hills
and valleys are transmitted to an un
expectedly great elevation, affecting
the lower and middle strata through
out. A general effect noticed Is that
the velocity of the wind. or Of a cur
rent of air. is increased over a hill
and diminished owe a valley. 1t IL
thought that similar observations, gen
orally distributed. would furnish US
with a real topography of the air.

FEDERAL BOARD .FAvORS
PROTESTING OF CHECKS

Protesting checks. where the max
ers have no funds or not enough
funds TO their credit to meet them. is
required By a new ruling of the Fed
eral Reserve board. according to in
formation furnished by the manage
ment of local banks. Formerly il
was customary to notify the makers
and give them an opportunity to
make the checks good without the
added cost of the protest fees.
What II any justification there may
be for this ruling the bankers pro-
fess to not know. All admit that the
protest is a fictitious transaction,
having no legal color other than GUS
tom and liberation. II merely con-
sists I'm presenting the dishonored
check to a notary and making oath
that IL has been presented and not
paid. These facts certified to with
out an oath would be as convincing.
but II would cost nothing, which is
Just the opposite to what the found
ers of the system wanted. Then, as
now. banks had notaries among their
officials and the fees for the oaths of
protest have gone To such officials or
to the bank itself, as Its rulea per-
mitted.
Under this custom the maker and
payee of the check are jointly liable
for the protest fees. If the maker is
financially irresponsible and the
check Is turned down by reason OF in
sufficient funds the payee must not
only refund TO the bank the amount
OF the check but also the protest fees,
which vary from 81 to upward of s12
for checks OF perhaps no greater
amount. And for this the payee has
received no service whatever. The
only alleged service Is that OF adver.
Using the identity OF the maker and
the fact that the check was dishon.
ored. Such advertising without the
afidavits and the cost attending II
would answer his every purpose. but
would bring no ven back to the
bank or to the official holding a no.
tarial commission.
Under this ruling of the federal
board a person receiving a check
through the mails from an outside
place is unsafe in depositing 1t to his
account without writing "No protest
on the margin. Otherwise he, thu
innocent party, stands a chance Of
being doubly stuck.

INTEREST SHOWN
IN NUTRITION LECTURE

The lecture to mothers on the sub
iect of undernourisheds children, de-
livered Wednesday at the grammar
school by Miss Nettie e Johnston.
public health nurse, drew a much
larger attendance than was antici-
pated, practically every mother of an
under9eight child in Ely being there.
Interest in the work was keen and
at the close everyone went up to the
speaker and asked questions applica-
BILE to their individual problems.
Miss Johnston spoke of the care of
children's teeth as being one of the
requisites te proper nourishment. She
urged the mothers to give personal
attention in this matter to every
child, to see hat the child formed
regular habits of daily cleansing and
10 not delay in seeing a dentist where
such was necessary.
Plenty of sleep was another thing
she urged. saying that children
should go to bed earlier than most
rest should be regular and plenty OF
them, lack of which is a far greater
cause for under size and under
weight, she insisted. than was be-
lieved.
Excerpts from government public
health reports. which she read and
commented upon. showed that at
least one-third of the children in any
ordinary American community were
under weight, undernourished and
malnourished. This applies in the
same ratio to p%reschool and school
periods, among both boys and girls.
and where comparisons have been
possible more malnutrition has been
discovered in the homes Of the
wealthy than poor people. This in
dieates a tendency to permit children
TO eat the dainties that are simply at
ltractiye % the taste and. to reject the
sort of food that is required to con-
tribute to their'groHth and the main
tenance of a proper physical balance.
Miss. Johnston explained 70 her
hearers that under the terms of the
Shepard-Towner act she is not re-
quired TO look after children except
during the preschool period. Her
work is TO see that they are up to
standard weight when they begin
school and other agencies are to look
after them thereafter. But owing to
the peculiar conditions here. the sub
ieet being in the Introductory stage
and with limitations of the school Or
ganization. she is handling tn work
for school children Of all ages as well.
That results have been attained
and that they are of a highly crafty
ing nature was mentioned by several
OF the attendants who nave religious
ly followed the suggestions Of the
nurse since undernourishment of
their children was brought to their
attention several weeks ago. Each
underweight child whose parents
have followed the directions has re-
sponded in a short time by a marked
increase in weight.
/ The excellent attendance at the lee
ture was due to publicity given TO the
subject and notice of the meeting
psblished in the White Pine News.

NOTHING has added more pleasure
~ to the winter season, at very
little expenditure of money, than the
pretty costume jewelry now having
a great vogue. The ingenious, beauti-
full, sparkling and becoming neck
chains, earrings. bracelets. pendants,
brooches and the like, all add color,
brillianee and finish" TO the costume.
The best thing about these pretty
trinkets is that they are, In the main,
inexpensive and everyone may IN
dulge in a few of them.
Since the return of earrings We won
der that they ever went out of style,
they are found to be so becoming.
They add something of stateliness to
the simplest costume and are shown
In endless variety of designs and color
ings. They have grown longer, TAX
ing on more Importance as their vogue
increased. A representative pair, of
Jet and silver. is shown in the picture
together with a t~hree-in-one bracelet
of silver having. a pendant tassel of
silver and pearls.

ornamental combs, in all sizes, are
compelling attention everywhere, but
those in the medium size are the most
popular. They are shown in many
colors of shell set with rhinestones. or
with colored stones, and are graceful
and handsome.
The bertha, the bandanna kerchief,
and the cape collar are items in neck
wear that hold the center of fashions
stage. The bertha, as pictured, is often
split at the sides. much like the bib
collar of lace that is said to slenderize
the figure. The handsome shopping
bags among an exhaustless variety, are
shown here, In designs that a pick
pocket would hardly attempt to open.
They are wonderfully complete and
convenient, with compartments for all
the necessities of the shopper.

EX-JUDGE CLEARED
IN CONTEMPT CASE
Court of Appeals Reverses Judge
Kathryn Sellers in Filming
Willis Brown.

Judge Willis Brown. former ju-
Venile court judge in Utah, was eX-
onerated today by the District Court
OF Appeals of two charges OF con-
tempt of court. Judge Kathryn Sell
lcrs held Judge Brown in contempt
Of the local Juvenile Court on two
charges of having written and pub
lished newspaper articles. one of
which gave d history of a proceed
Ing before the court and the other
related to a charge Of habitual tru-
ancy OF a twelVe-year-o girl. then
pending in the court. Judge Sellers
tinec Judge Brown $50 for one article
and imposed an Imprisonment of
forty-eight hours in the other case
Judge Brown noted an appeal.
Justice Van Orsdel rendered the opin-
ion of the Court OF Appeals finding that
the story relating to the history OF
pending case is not contemptuous and
therefore no charge OF contempt could
be sustained AS to the other story the
court held that the charge of contempt
must be dismissed because the Juvenile
Court never had jurisdiction of the case
The opinion quotes the laws about tru-
ancy and compulsory education and
points out that Congress has deprived
the Juvenile Court of Jurisdiction Of
truancy charges against children be-
tween the ages of eight and fourteen
years and that court has Jurisdiction
only OF children between fourteen end
seventeen charged with truancy.

A motion urging the District au-
thorities TO oil and water North Cap
itol street as far north as Michi gan

self as one of the "dirties" living along
the dusty thoroughfare" OF North
