COUNCIL WILL LIMIT LICENSES
FOR SOFT DRINK RESORTS IN ELY

A defined policy upon the subject
of licenses for soft drink places, in
effect limiting their number and reg
ulating their location. was laid down
by the city administration at Friday
nights council meeting. In pursu-
ance of this policy an application for
4 license to engage in that business
was denied
/. The applicants for the license were
NJ X. Thompson and j. E. Callahan.
Some weeks since they rented the
Dick House building. at the north
east corner of Mill and Aultman
streets. and have been preparing TO
open 1t as a soft drink resort. They
applied 10 the city clerk and TO May
or Gallagher for a license. The
mayor objected on the ground that
he was opposed to a soft drink place
at that location. The applicants
made calls on the councilmen, among
them Fred T. West, who told them
he would not stand in their way but
that he would not sponsor their ap-
plication at a council meeting nor
make fight for them. Attorney An
thony Zurich appeared for them at
Friday nights meeting and engaged
in verbal barrage with the mayor,
Mr. West and City Attorney ]. NJ
Lockhart. Mr.. Jurich claimed that
the mayor could not legally act in
the matter of granting or refusing
licenses and he quoted from the city
charter and other references to show
that such duty devolved solely upon
the council. Mr.. West gave his
position quite clearly, saying among
other things that he conceived his
duty 10 be to support the mayor in
such matters. he being the one fa-
miliar with the facts and responsible
for the policy Of the administration.

Mr.. Zurich added that the council

public good and for that reason the

NO SECOND TO ZURICH
TRAIN SERVICE MOTION

There was no second to the mo-
ton when Anthony Zurich at the
Chamber of Commerce meeting We'd
nesday evening asked that his petit
tion for a resumption of the shift
trains in and out of Ely and a daily
mail service to Cobre be indorsed by
the cluh.
Although in parliamentary rules
and practice a motion IS not supposed
TO be discussed until it has received
second and is put by the chair. this
one was and eyeral opposing speeches
were made. J. NJ. Loekhart, Arthur
Smith and George Doyle took strong
issue with Mr.. Jurieh, contending
that the Nevada Northern manage
ment should not be antagonized.
They said that the railway company
would appeal to the courts and 1t
would tie up the trains for years and
engender a feud of even longer dura-
tion.
Mr.. Jurieh related that he had
been told in effect by General Man
ager Hickey that the shift trains
would never be resumed, and he was
in favor of measures of compulsion.
Vail NJ. Pittman had interviewed
many citizens who held train service
to be vital. agreeing substantially
with Mr.. Jurieh, but said that after
talking with Mr.. Hickey, who told of
the long court delays and of a prof.
ect 10 finance an automobile stage
line, he was opposed to action by
the present meeting.
Fred Ts West and o. G. Bates CO
incided with the opposing views and
favored delay. the latter saying that
the fares. II the train were reinstat-
ed, would be too high to be OF ben
eft to Ely.
After demanding and being re-
fused action Mr.. Zurich presented his
resignation as a director of the or
ganization. He said he was not re-
signing as a member His REGINA
ton was put to vote and unani-
mously refused.
The club decided to give A ban
quet next Monday evening at Shall
lenbergcr hall. at which the train
subject will be discussed by the at
tendants. The public has been in
yited and some spirited remarks pre-
and con are anticipated, there being

PHYSICAL DEFICIENCY
OF NEVADA CHILDREN

Fifty-seyen per cent of the chill
dren of Nevada are under weight and
to that extent physically deficient,
and corresponding percentage of
adults are likewise classified.
This startling information is fur
nished to the White Pine News by
Mrs. j. F. Miles. state chairman of
home economies of the Nevada Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, whose
local capacity in charge of that work
is that of leader of the nutrition
project Mrs. Miles is president of
district No. l of the state federation,
which includes Humboldt, Elko and
White Pine counties. The organiza-
tion is working in cooperation with
the Child Welfare Center, of which
mention was made in the last issue
of the News. The state federation
for several months past, through
Mrs. Miles and a number of jealous
iieutenants. has been taking an act
i've hand in the hetterment of the
physical condition of considerable
number of both children and adults
in this community.
Its work is to bring to normal the
weight of both children and adults
who are under weight or otherwise
physically deficient. This is done
under the authority of the act of
congress known as the Connor-Ster-
ling law, which is administered by
the department of agriculture in co.
operation with the University of Ne
vada extension work in agriculture
and home economics. That of the
Child Welfare Center nominally ap-
plies to children under years of
age, but Miss Nettie Johnston, the
director in White Pine county, is
actually handling all school children

Mrs. Miles says that children OF
this district make deplorable show

the deficiency more pronounced than
in the Vicinity of Preston and Lund.

to the peril and are cooperating to-

RABIES NOT CONVEYED
!. BY USING MILK OR MEAT

Not only is it claimed by medical
authorities to be safe to drink the
milk of a cow afflicted with rabies
If 1t Is possible for an animal 20 give
milk after the disease is developed
but it also has been asserted for
many years that the flesh Of such an
animal may be eaten in safety.
The virus comes from the saliva
only, the disease having its seat in
the salivary glands. 1t is eommuni-
Gated only by contact with the saliva.
The most common form of its trans
mission is through the bite of an af-
fiieted carnivorous animal, such as a
dog or coyote. 1t could be conveyed
by the animals tongue coming in
contact with an open sore on the
body of man or of another animal,
but such an occurrence rarely hap
pens.
This is The understanding that DR.
w. w Cook had in sending the brain
of the cow that recently died at Ruth
TO the state university for examina-
ton, but he wished to have official
corroboration, as 1t was the states
and not his case.
Nor is it believed likely that COW
can give milk or be MIXED after the
disease has developed. Persons who
have seen many rabid cows and other
animals SO afflicted declare that in
the period of four days from appear

ing of the word. the American WORD
crazy being a substitute for the
old country word mad" In Eng.
land a crazy man is referred to as a
mad man, or a crazy animal as a
mad animal. The designation of a
mad dog originated in that manner.
When COW thus becomes crazy ii Is
not likely that there would be the
amount of reflex action in its brain
to play the necessary part in the pro-
duction of milk, much less to per-
NIT Of its being drawn from the
lacteal organs, even supposing that
the COW might be tied and bound to

would be assuming that the milker
were so oblivious as to not notice
that the COW were sick and her milk
should not be used at any rate

1856, in certain large areas where
its occurrence was mostly in January
and February. the coyote mating sea-
son, the animals did not breed and
there were no young that year.
The rabies epidemic began in Wal
Iowa county, Oregon, the northeast
county of the state. The county is
but few miles from the Snake river
on the north. which forms a barrier
on that side and on the east. On the
south and west is a high mountain
range, which coyotes seldom cross,
they not being high altitude animals.

been for some time on.
Besides this the direct smelling

amounts approximately TO 400 tons

output as treated at McGill up to

AWNING MATERIAL

of the house.
AS awning material may be pur-

material, one can either match the
color of the house or create a con-
trasting color scheme.
Awnings for windows are really
economical. as they protect the fur
nishings from the sun and give a
room a healthful, cool atmosphere on
bright sizzling days. They can
easily be taken down when the dark.
short days of fall set in.
The regular type of window avn
ings. which has side pieces and a
valance, is the most practical as it
keeps out both the sun and rain
and still allows for sufficient ven
tilation.
To measure for porch awnings
mark off spot about five feet from
the floor of the porch. which will
give about the place where the
eight feet or under in height usually
requires an awning three feet high by
three feet projection. Porches more
than eight feet in height require
proportionately larger awnings.
Many prefer a broad curtain to an
awning for the porch. The top of
the curtain is fastened inside the
porch. generally to the ceiling, and
it is weighted with Sat at the
bottom
