TIGERS SHOW
IMPROVEMENT
viii Play Reno High School
Gridders on Local Campus
Tomorrow Afternoon

In a football game played on the
Douglas field last Saturday the Tigers
held the Carson players down to a
score of to 0, the smallest score
since the Tigers have been in the foot
ball game. The small score made by
the visitors is indicative of great i'm
provement of the Tigers, due to the
expert coaching of II. Cohn and II. A.
0'Brien.
In the game Saturday the Tigers
held the fast Carson Orders to a tie
score until four minutes before the
end of the game when the visitors
made touchdown and We're success
full in kicking a goal making the score
to 0 in their favor.
The defense of the Tigers is show
ing steady improvement and they
showed up well in line smashes. 1t
would be unfair to pick out any of the
Tiger players for special mention be-
cause they are playing as team ev-
cry member dong his best in the va
rious plays.
There was a good sized crowd in at
tendance at the game last Saturday
and everyone left the field with the
belief that the Tigers will make a
good showing in the regular sched-
uled games to be played with various
high school teams this fall.
Following is the lineup of both the
teams that played in Saturdays game:
Carson: Frank Bath, left end; Jack
Johnson, left tackle; William Jagels,
left guard; LLester Taggs, center;
George Spradling, right guard; Rob-
ert Kyle, right tackle; William Ligon,
right end; Garry Taft, quarterback;
Royal Crowell, left halfback; Benson
Johnson, fullback; Harry Sweetiand,
right halfback; Lowell Bath, substi-
tute halfback.
Tigers: w. Stodieck, left half; d.
Mack, right half; E. Anderson, (capt.l
fullback; II. Raycraft, quarterback; A.
Settelmeyer, left end, M. Sorensen,
right end; w. Godecke, left tackle; /;
w. Gibson, right tackle; S. Johnson,
left guard; w. Chambers, right guard ;
S. Imelli, center.
Tomorrow the Tigers will play their
third game of the season on the Doug
las field at which time they will meet
the formidable eleven of the Reno
high school As a matter Of fact
thirty-five players will compose the
Reno grid squad that will visit Gard
nerville tomorrow and the coach will
give all of his men a try-out in the
game against the Tigers. In the Reno
lineup is RED" McCloud, former
Gardnerville lad who at one time at
tended the high school at this place.
He is termed as triple threat" man
and run, kick and pass with the best
of them and has considerable weight.

FIRE DUST IS
DEMONSTRATED
Big Crowds in Attendance at
Minden and Gardnerville to
View Fire Demonstrations

The demonstrations of "Fire Dust"
held in Gardnerville Monday night
and at Minden Tuesday night were
both largely attended and consider
able interest was manifest among To-
cal people because of the unexcelled
merits of the new fire-fighting pow
der.
A large wooden structure having
three sides and some twelve feet in
height was erected and was filled with
highly inflammable material and was
then saturated with tar and coal oil.
This was set on fire and after the
flames had reached their utmost
heighth, Fire Dust" the new chemi-
cal manufactured by the Newbegin
Fire Appliance company of San Fran
cisco, was sprinkled at the base of the
fire and like magic the flames were
extinguished Immediately.
The extinguishers sell for a mod
crate sum and quite number were
purchased by local people not only for
use in their homes but to carry in au-
tomobiles for use in case of fire.

shrieks that he is the only honest man
and the only peoples friend on the
horizon just as they suspect any pious
fraud in their own community whose
holier than thou professions are ac-
companied by continual attacks upon
the motives of others. That sort of
private or political performance may
go over for time, but in the end the
average man sees through the sham
and hypocrisy of such attitudinizing
and they classify the pretenders COR
reetly.
The average man, too, likes the SIM
plicity of President Coolidge. He likes
the picture of the rugged farm and
the unpretentious home from which he
came. He likes the story of his presi-
dents quiet, unostentatious progress
from small beginnings to great con-
cllisions. He likes the process of pro-
motion from small to large places of
public responsibility, through the ia
vor of those best in position to know
and measure the quality of the man.
The man in the street likes the
preaching by practice of the simple
life by his president. He likes the
picture of the little double house at
Northampton and of the single hotel
room in Boston where he lived as gov
ernor. The average American likes
to recall the induction of Calvin Cool
idge into the presidency-sworn in by
the light of coal-oil lamp by his
weather-beaten farmer father in an
old fashioned parlor of a New Eng
land farm house. In an age of jazz,
hysteria, extravaganza and raucous
demagogy they like simplicity, reti-
cence, dignity, thrift, and old fashion
ed horse sense. In President Coolidge
they see symbolized both the habits
and the political philosophy which
made this country all it is, and which
must be depended on to make it all it
is going to be unless we are to lapse
into chaos.
This explains the popularity of Cal
vim Coolidge. The American people
pay themselves a compliment when
they honor the qualities, the ideas and
the ideals exemplified by their presi-
dent. Against the clamor of the DEM
agogues and the shafts of his political
foes the popularity of President Cool
idge stands firm as a rock, and gives
assurance of the triumph in Novem-
Der of those principles for which he
and his party stand.

UNLAWFUL TO
SHOOT Quail.
Report That Quail and Pheas-
ant Season in This County
Is Open Without Authority

? A report. reached the officials of
Douglas county Monday to the effect
that a number of Carson hunters had
sig.nified their intention of hunting
quail and pheasants in Carson Valley
Wednesday, upon the strength of a
published statement in which a game
warden of Washoe county had stated
that the closed season on valley quail
and pheasants expired September 80.
Charles Fulstone of Jacks Valley,
who is greatly interested in the pro-
pagation of game birds in Douglas
county, was consulted with by the of
ficers and he caused an article to be
published in the Carson News denying
the published report and giving warn
ing that numerous game wardens
would be on the lockout for anyone
who attempted to hunt either quail or
pheasants in this county.
The matter of opening the quail
season in this county for a day or so
this fall was considered by the COM
missioners at a recent meeting and
the board felt that such step would
be ill advised. During the past two
years, or since number of the game
birds were planted in this Valley they
have multiplied rapidly but not in
such numbers to allow their slaughter
without exterminating them. Pheas-
ants planted by the commissioners
two years ago are multiplying but it
will be several years before their
numbers will be sufficiently large
enough to allow an open season. Those
who are in close touch with the game
situation here declare that it would
be nothing short of crime to open
the season for quail or pheasants for
even a day at this particular time.
The ordinance closing the season
for hunting quail or pheasants in
Douglas county expired September 80,
but the state law closes the season on
October 1st. A number of game war
dens were out Wednesday to prevent
anyone from hunting quail or pheas-
ants within this county.

NEW BRIDGE
IS COMPLETED
Rests on Concrete Foundation
Set Four Feet Below River
Bed and Is Very Substantial

The new bridge over the Carson
river in what is known as the Water
loo lane was completed this week, the
road over that route having been
closed for Sc days during construction
of the bridge.
John Heimsoth, road supervisor,
who had charge of construction of the
new bridge, reports that it has two
forty-foot spans with concrete abut-
ments and center pier set four feet
below the river bed. 1t required 30,-
100 pounds of cement to construct the
cement work into which went 5000
pounds of reinforced steel. Over 1000
feet Of lumber also went into the new
structure.
The old bridge which had seen serv-
ice for over forty years, was con-
demned year or so ago and no heav-
lily loaded trucks were allowed to pass
over the old bridge. The new struc-
ture is of sufficient strength to meet
all necessary highway requirements

MINDEN HAS
FIRE CISTERN
Will Be Used as Auxiliary
Water Supply for Fire Pur-
poses and Irrigating Lawn

The new fire cistern which has been
under course of construction at Min
den for the past several weeks, has
been completed and tests made prove
an ample supply of water has been
developed.
An electric pump of large capacity
is to be installed at the cistern. The
arrangement is such that the water
from the cistern can be used for irri-
eating the lawn in the park during
the summer months and at the same
time will automatically pump into
fire mains in case of an emergency.
The supply. from the cistern will be
an auxiliary water supply for the
three other pumping plants that can
be used at the time of fire.
During the past season, owing to
the water shortage it was necessary
to allow the lawn in the park to dry
up, there being no supply available to
keep the lawn green. Henceforth wa
ter from the fire cistern will be used
for this purpose.

building will remain open on Satur-
day, November l, to afford the op-
portunity of inspection to as many as
possible. Governor Scrugham's per-
sonal collection of pictures of Nevada
scenes is one of the special treats in

again this year.
The concluding feature of the whole
crowded days will be the old Aggie
dance in the university gymnasium
Saturday evening. Continuing the GUS
tom in the past, the Aggies will have
plenty of free cider on tap and plan
to make the evening merry, rolick-
some close of the Homecoming Days.

lack OF SLEEP CAUSES
Ill HEALTH IN CHILDREN

SEATTLE, WASH, July S.-Many
defects found in children, thought by
their parents to be healthy, at the
Child Health Conferences have been
demonstrated to be due to insuffi-
cient sleep, DIR. Paul A. Turner, Di-
rector Of the State Department of
Health, states. If a child does not
sleep the required hours, headache,
malnutrition loss of appetite, pale
ness and nervousness may result.
Certain functional disorders cause
lack of sleep, but much of the irreg-
ularity of children's sleeping hours
is due to bad habits. Some young
sters are never put to bed at the
same hour two days in succession.
Some kiddies are told goblin or
ghost stories or have overheard the
grOwn-ups read about murders and
burglaries from the daily papers and
are not able to sleep because their
imaginations paint such vivid pic
lures in the dark. Other children do
not want to go to sleep in darkened
room.
Sleep is essential to the well-being
of children. It cannot be disregarded
without penalties being paid. If a
child is to grow up strong and well
he must have sufficient sleep.
Children have their rights as well
as adults. One of the rights of child
hood is to a bed Of his own and long
hours of unbroken rest.
