Mostly the
Ladies

The lady who changed the
color of her hair to fool the po-
lice must have had an exagger-
ated idea Of the power of OBJ
servation Of the average police
man.
Some OF these new Egyptian
wrap-around dresses have con-
siderable to wrap around.
Why is it that a man carrying
an umbrella to shelter lady
gets wetter than il he had no
protection at all?
Our idea Of a woman who has
her husbands interest at heart
is one that cooks cabbage while
he's making home-brew, to throw
revenue officers off the scent.
Shoes made from ostrich skin
are the latest. Now the question
is: IL a woman with ostrich skin
on her feet and ostrich plumes in
her hat were to stick her head in
the sand, would you be able to
tell her and the bird apart?
The Indians have had to give
up jazz dancing because it's too
wild for them. And society has
given 1t up because it's too tame.
It's a hard world to please.
A gypsy wedding was inter
rupted by fight. It's the Amer

Uncle Sans
Pockets

They say If Cleopatra's moss
had been longer. the course Of
history would have been DIFF.
ferent.
And II Alexander Hamilton's
breeches had been looser, the
course Of history might have been
different.
Hamilton founded the United
States Treasury. Up until that
time, he had been carrying all
the government funds around in
his pockets, but he realized that
some day the country would have,
income taxes and all that sort OF
thing, and no one man could be
expected to tote all the revenues
on his own person.
When Hamilton was acting a.
a portable safe for Uncle Sans
funds, Congress couldn't pass an
appropriation without hunting
him up and asking him II he had
any loose change.
This was Congress- little Joke
for Hamilton's breaches fitted so
tight that he never had any loose
change. The revolutionary styles
for men made 1t rather awkward
for him to carry much money.
If he slipped half dollar into g
side pocket, its outline was
visible hundred feet away.
This Situation made 1t quite
easy for the Secretary's eagle
eyed friends to make q touch.
He was called on to float q gov.
eminent loan every few minutes.
And when the lining OF his
pockets began to give way the
credit Of the nation hung by Q
thread.
II cannot stand by and see the
depository Of the Federal Re-
serve begin to ravel." cried
Hamilton. -,
He found himself face to face
with crisis. II he had been q
modern man, Of course he would
have turned the money over to
his wife. The modern man al.
ways thinks Of his wife before he
thinks of a treasury That's the
way he's been trained.
Hamilton found a different SO.
luton.
"Shall l wear pants or shall /
rig up a treasury" he asked
himself. He decided that
treasury would be more cor1forte
able than pants, and would save
a tailor's bill besides.
The results were so successful
that Hamilton treated himself TO
a brand new gray satin suit--one
that never had been satin before.

FORMER ELY RESIDENTS IN
RENO AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT

Two former Ely people narrowly
escaped serious injury in an automo-
bile accident which occurred on the
Reno-Carson City highway last Sun
day. .a- 81 .r
When the car owned and driven by
Federal Judge E. S. Harrington was
struck by a car operated by B. Ne
smith, Judge Harrington had as his
guests Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Collins,
Miss Felice Cohen and Mrs. Earring
ton
Mr.. Collins, formerly of Ely, but
now rate expert for the public serv'
ice commission, had returned to Reno
Saturday night from Tonopah, where
he went to attend a hearing with
reference to water rates in the
town of Tonopah. At Reno he was
joined by Mrs. Collins and Sunday
Judge and Mrs. harrington, with Miss
Cohen, joined the former Ely people
in Reno. After dinner the party pro-
ceeded toward Reno in the Carson
car with Judge harrington at the
wheel. When just few hundred
yards north of Steamboat springs a
car headed toward Reno stopped and
was engaged in changing tire, Be-
hind the disabled car were three 9TH

rington car was about half way past
the standing car when the second car
headed toward Reno turned. evident
ly to avoid striking the standing car,
and in so doing ran directly into the
Harrington car, striking the left
front wheel, bending the axle, tear
ing off the fender and footboard and
otherwise generally damaging the
valuable machine. The Nesmith car
was almost totally wrecked. None OF
the passengers were injured aside
from a slight bruise by coming il!
contact with the top OF the car when
the crash came. This is believed to
be due to the fact that Judge Far
rington had slowed down his car to
about twenty miles an hour while
passing the standing car and the
driver of tho car coming in the other
direction evidently applied his brakes
when he saw the standing car, but
feeling that they were not holding
turned in the direction of the Far
rington car with his brakes on. II
was generally conceded that had
either of the cars been running at a
high rate of speed the accident would
have been attended by most seriou:
consequences. zs..

CROPS AND WEATHER
FOR WEEK OF NOV. 20

Observer H. F. Alps of the Reno
weather bureau of the department OF
agriculture has issued the following
weather and crop report for the week
ending November 20:
Warm, sunshiny days and cool
nights prevailed during the last
week, with light wind movement.
The weekly mean temperature was
about 3 degrees above normal There
was some cloudiness at intervals but
no precipitation was reported. Tenn
peratures as high as 60 degrees were
reached during several afternoons
in the northern two thirds of the
state. The lowest at Reno was 1G
degrees on the 18th and 10Th
The continuation of ideal fall
weather favored all outside activi-
ties. Flowing made good progress,
road construction went forward with
out interruption and the movement
of stock to winter quarters and ship
ping stations was accomplished under
the most favorable weather condi-
tions. Winter grain and range feed
improved greatly in the south be
cause of the recent heavy precip;ta.
tion and water holes are replenished
so that there is plenty of water for
livestock over the entire southern
half of the state. Grazing conditions
are now reported to be good to ex,
cellent in the south and stock are
gaining. Several herds of cattle
were driven or shipped to winter
feeding stations in the north and the
feeding of beef cattle was started in
many localities. Stock cattle and
sheep were doing well on pastures,
although forage is becoming scarce
in the Paradise valley section be-
cause OF the continued dry weather.
Roads in the south half of Nevada
are in fair to good condition since
the recent ample rainfall. Dirt roads
are dusty in the north
