carried out a May Day sand table
program which they Thoroughly en-
joyed. The main feature Of it was
the May pole around which twelve
dolls danced. One larger doll and
seven smaller ones, which were
either too large or too small tc
dance, formed the background. Fruit
blossoms added much to the at
Effectiveness of the whole.
Luiz Vargaz returned to school

as well as inspiring.
Last week the Eighth grade

PETTICOATS OF FANCY
DESIGNS, BUT LIGHT IN
WEIGHT. POPULAR AGAIN

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of many
designs and hues, are fashionable
again.
They are not, however, Of the
rustling and befrilled wonders Of
Victorian days, but are SO soft and
slender that they can be drawn
through the proverbial ring.
For many years, with skirts tight
and short, petticoats were out of
fashion.
This season they appear in the
glory Of silk brocades. Powered
crepe-de-chine and jazz satins.
Many are in bright colors, have
bodices, and might well be mistaken
for simple evening frocks.
The main feature seems to be,
however, the scalloped hem, which
takes the place Of the risky frill Of
'bygone days.

ROSS is NAMED
BANK RECEIVER

The resignation of Frank L.
Wildes as receiver of the State Bank
and Trust company was accepted
Monday by Judge Ballard in the
district court, says the Journal.
Gilbert c. Ross, state bank ex-
aminer, was named to succeed
Wildes as receiver, but no mention
was made of the compensation or
the appointment of an attorney for
the receiver. An act of the legis-
lature fixing limit on the pay Of
receivers may apply, although it
was declared unsuited in the case
Of Receiver Wildes, who was ap-
pointed several years before the
act was passed.
Judge Ballard is hearing testi-
mony as to the compensation of the
receivers attorneys, Mack & Greene
of Reno. They have asked $1,000 a
year for the past eight years and
have testified fully as to their work
A full report of Wildes' acts al

property of the receivership on hanc

The motion for a new trial of thu
question of the compensation to bt
awarded the receiver is still under
Amusement.

u. S. Sightseers Fail
to Get Excitement
in Visiting Ruhr

Cologne, Feb. 10. By A. P.)-Were
it not for certain Inconvenience, the
Ruhr would doubtless be invaded by
American tourists. Some sightseers
from the States have already visited
the new front" but they failed to
get the desired thrill out of what
they saw. In fact. they were sadly
disappointed. because the only smoke
that came to their attention was the
business-like output of the factories
and collieries.
Tanks, armOred cars and machine
guns are in commanding places in
many of the Ruhr towns. but most
of these are off tho beaten paths of
the atuomobilists. Tourists have
come from CoblenZ, Berlin, Munich.
Paris and London. but many lost
heart after encOuntering the difficult
ties attendant upon acquiring the
necessary credentials and got no fur
Their than Cologne.
\ favorite stunt has been to leave
this city in the morning to ''see the
Ruhr by daylight returning in the
evening. The cost of such an auto
mobile trip is being $25 and $50.
However the Ruhr VALLEY is not
likely to become rival of the Valley
of the Kings as a sightseer's para
disc. for the military restrictions
may soon be frightened.

The death list was increased to 81

Out Of all the Investigate ms started

Coupled with the assertion Of Dr.
Heyman that a fire many times as

statement from the National Board
OF Fire Underwriters. which, in 1920,
surveyed the institution, declaring
that "thc terrible holocaust serves
again to emphasize the danger of
death from fire that exists in such
institutions and country"

washington, Feb. 19-The agree
nnent between the American and
british governments under which
Hreat Britain will have CO years for
the payment of it's $4,60O,O 900 900 war
debt to this country will become eff
1ectlve before the end of this month.
This was made certain today with
the action of the House ways and
means committee in instructing
Chairman Fordney to move tomorrow
in the House to accept the Senate
changes to the amendment to the
debt funding act giving Congression-
al approval of the agreement. The
committee vote was unanimous and
the House vote is expected to be
practically SO.
Direct action by the House will
make a conference with the Senate
unnecessary and will save consider
able time. Immediately after the
House vote the bill will be made
ready for President Harding who is
expected to sign it in few days.
Formal drafting of indenture
which will comprise the terms of
debt funding arrangements between
the United States and Great Britain
has been begun. it was stated Off
cially today at the treasury.
Definite decision has not been
reached by the two governments as
to the amounts of the bonds. but it
appeared today to be forcgone con-
clusion that they will be the largest
ever to come from the Bureau of En-
craving here. Indications are that
the largest Of the lot necessary to
cover the debt of more than four and
Il half million dollars will be for one
billion dollars. but the plan is only
tentative. The other bonds. it is pro-
posed, will be of smaller denomina-
tions for purposes of convenience in
retirement by the British government
under the funding terms.
Formal signing of the indenture
for the British government probably
will be done by Sir Auckland Ged
des. the British ambassador. Sec
rotary Mellon will sign for the treas

leaders and the administration to with
draw the ship bill saying everyone
knows this bill cannot pass" and that
it should not be allowed ito drag its
weary way along and keep out other
legislation"

Maine and how it may possibly be
remedied:
Replying to yours of the 18th.
Thanks for your cooperation. The
railroads of Maine are cooperating
with Us in every way and are up
against worst operating conditions
ever known. Have talked with
President Hustis and Vice-President
Fort of the Boston and Maine Rail-
road today regarding the movement
of coal into Maine ard they are do
ing everything possible to assist.
Have suggested to the Pennsyl-
vania fuel directors that they have
all anthracite for Maine moved via
water course of New Jersey and New
York. thence by steamers. instead
of barges. to the ports of Maine. If
this is carried out it would enable
the railroads of Pennsylvania to
keep most of their coal cars at home.
and the rail lines beyond Maine
ports would handle coal to advan-
tage beyond the water course, and
the people of Maine would receive
their coal regularly. promptly and
at a less rate. The same thing would
apply to everything east of Boston.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Tbe U. S.
Railroad Labor Board is a board Of
arbitration, without power to enforce
its rulings. but dependent .pon the
support of public sentiment to give
it's acts effects, the Supreme Court
today decided in case brought by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
The case was an appeal from the
decision of the Seventh Circuit Court
of Appeals, refusing to grant a re-
straining order prohibiting the
board from publishing it's :.ndings
with regard to the refusal of the
railroad company to conduct labor
dispute negotiations with certain
representatives of organized labor.
The controversy arose during the
recent strikes of the railroad shop
crafts. throughout the country and
the Pennsylvania railroad, pointing
out that it had negotiated it's diff
culties with representatives of its
employees refused to comply with the
ruling of the Labor Board that it
should recognize officers Of certain
labor organizations as representa-
tives OF its employees, and mes otiatc
with them.
Asserting that it was not TIE in
tention Of Congress in providing for
the RAILROAD Labor Board in the
Transportation Act of 1920 to create
"a tribunal 10 determine what were
the legal rights and obligations of
railroad employers and employees, or
to enforce or protect them,' the SUI
preme Court pointed out that The
courts con do that" The Labor
Board was created, the &C It ssert-

"The only limitations upon the
boards decisions" the court said, ais
that they should establish Il ST. ndar I'd
of conditions. which, in its opinion,
is just and reasonable. Che iuris-
diction of the board to Jrect tho
parties to do what it deems they
should do is not to be limited 10y

refuse to do it. Under the act there
is no aonstraint upon them to do
