To Fight Sale of State Farm
At a joint meeting of the direc-
tors of the Chamber of Commerce
and the Reno Motor Car Dealers
Association resolutions were passed
protesting the bill which provides
for the sale of the university farm
and urging that the action be re-
considered.
The resolution sets out that the
farm is the work shop of the uni
versity, that agriculture is fast
becoming a paramount industry in
the state and that the sale of the
farm would greatly cripple the
agriculture courses at the university
and would mean a handicap to the
state.-Reno Gazette.

Chimpanzee in London
Zoo Is Mad Over Jazz

Londonderry, a young Chimpanzee
which has just been installed In the
lemur house at the zoo, Is jazz mad,
declares at. A." in the Westminster
Gazette. He had been in his cage
barely fifteen minutes when he began
to one-step, and fox trOt around the
floor, beating time rhythmically, first
with one foot and then another.
His keeper looked on at first in
amazement, for chimpanzees are not
usually afflicted with the tepsIchorean
mania. Then he began to whistle a
ragtime, which Joey appeared fully to
understand, syncopatlon included.
Even when perched on his pole Joey
cannot keep still for long. The gentlest
suggestion Of music will start him
beating time, and in few seconds the
Dole is swaying. to the rhythm OF a
thrilling simian jazz.
But although music can set Joey
pranclng. It cannot assuage the savage
beast in him. He win have to grow
much less savage and spiteful before
suitable dancing partner can be
found for him.

BAKERS WORKED IN CAPITOL
LOaNes kpeaded In the lmense Cellars,
while construction. Of the Dome
Went on.

One usually thinks Of the capitol at
Washington as place where the ma
tons legislative business IL transact
ed. but it Is also true that under the
majestic nobly impressive dome Of that
structure bakers once piled their trade.
The story Of this dome IL related by
Gilbert Gr0svenor In the course OF a
communication to the National Geo
graphic society, entitled '"The Capitol,
Wonder Building Of the World" as
follows:
"During the darkest hours Of the
Civil war. while the-sapItol basement
did service as a military bakery, Lin
coin insisted that there be no sus-
pension Of the building Of Its dome.
''District volunteers, enrolled to de-
fend their homes and the capital,
heard reports Of plots to burn the
flour mills in Georgetown. They In
stantly pressed into service every
vehicle to be found on the streets or
in stables, loaded them with -four and
all day there proceeded along Penn
sylvania avenue the most curious pro-
cession which ever traversed that
street Of countless parades. The -four
was stored safely In the capltol's
vast cellars and WashlngtOn's home
baking habits were revOlutiOnized.
Tradition has 1t that French and
Vienna loaves gained their American
vogue from the United States capitol
bakers.

MAGHIN|STS FIGHT
FOR EIGHT HOUR DAY

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Aug. 16.-or-
ganized machinists employed by the
Bethlehem steel company announce
that with the opening of the new con-
gress they will renew their fight for
wages awarded them by the national
war labor board.
The case originally involved Fl 900
employees, Of which approximately
1000 were machinists. With the end
ing of the war work, these employees
were laid Off by the thousands and
the addresses of many OF them are
unknown. Many Of the machinists
have also dropped out Of the Machin-
lists union, but these unionists will
carry on the fight not only for the
wages involved, but to establish the
principle that the government recog-
nize the same rates Of pay on govern
ment work in contract shops as paid
by the government
In 1918, the machinists re-opened
their old eight-hour fight against the
Bethlehem steel company. The ma
tional war labor board held hearings,
and sustained the machinists In an
award based upon rates paid In gov
eminent plants. The war department
provided $1,5OO,O0O for these addition
al wages, and representatives of the
national war labor board classified
each employe for a certain rate SO
that his back wages could be quickly
adjusted.
Checks for the money were being
written in 1921, but everything was
overturned by the Judge advocate gem
eral Of the army, ruling that congress
must approve the claim.
The case was then carried to con-
gress, where 1t will be reopened at
the next session. No one has denied
the business of the machinists' claim,

Query, "What to Give the Bride"

The average middle-aged woman
win tell the bride to-be that her
life is before her; but that she
must be prepared to meet the hard
ships as well as the happiness, to
share the eorrows as well as the
smiles. Looking back into the
carly years of her own married life
she recalls the hysterical gladness
and the romance which at first
loaned strength for the perform
anec of the duties of getting set
tied /; then she re-lives her realiza-
tion that love doesn I darn socks,
wash dishes or cook meals: and
finally she hastens on through the
years when household tasks were
struggled through, sick or well, with
the growing feeling that life is Il
cold, hard proposition in which to-
day Is problems must be met today
or they viii be magnified fourfold
tomorrow.
She will usually admit, though,
that these last few years she has
somewhat systematized things so
that she has had considerably more
time of late to enjoy the maHy
pleasures for which she has always
1onged. Little does the average
middle-aged woman realize that Sc
cret of her spare time lies far deep
er than her systematizing of her
1iousework.
Electricity Magic Servant
Seldom does she analyze that pro-
cess of systematizing, or compare
her home of today with that of her
days as a bride. She does not rec
ognize the underlying fact that
more and more has she grown TO
depend for assistance and speedy
execution of her housework upon
that silent and efficient jack-of-
all trades, Electricity. And the
more extensive her employment of
This servant the more time she
has for recreation and the better
health for the enjoyment of her
pleasures.
And therein lies a thought. One
might almost say moral! When
the problem arises What shall |
give as a Wedding gift what
could be more appropriate than
something carrying into the newly
made home an element of comfort
and happiness, an assurance of bet
ter health and Of less tiresome ef
fortf In other words why not give
the modern bride a modern gift for
her modern home, a gift combining
all the desirable features, beauty,
utility, durability and that little
tinge Of luxury which would cause
her to struggle along without it ~
first unless some thoughtful friend
presented it to herl
All of these features are embodi-
ed in any one of long list of
mighty acceptable electrical gifts,
each and every one of which would
soon prove worth its weight in gold
in the brides new home.
