SUBJECT TO TAXATION

Laramie, Wyo., May 29-Frater-
nifty and sorority houses are not ex-
empt from taxation as previously
supposed, so j. c. Pickett, assistant
attorney general. holds in an opinion
requested by County Attorney s. C.
Downey, and County Assessor w. A.
Comfy apprised of the ruling is pre-
pairing to place such properties on the

the county attorney today and turned
over by him to the county assessor,
follows:
Dear Sir-This is in reply to your
letter of May 10 in regard to taxa
tion of college sororities and frater-
mites. 1t is my opinion that college
fraternities and sororities, under Il
statutes. are o exempt from taxa
ton, This seems to be the general
holding of the courts"
Mr.. pickett concludes by citing au-
thorities.

Rendle Drug Store
Now Has Frigidaire
Iceless Fountain

The fore part of this week a new
Frlgidaire Iceless Fountain was in,
stalled in the F.. w. Rendle Drug
Store by j. c. Martinez of the Mar.
tinez Electric. The fountain which is
cooled by air is one of the latest, i'm
proyements in the fountain line, thus
the drug store is equipped to give the
best service possible in the ice cream
and cold drink division.
The new fountain requires no ice
and a temperature of between two
and eighteen degrees is kept at all
times. This enables the store to
keep brick ice cream, ice-cold bottles
of milk, mineral water, grape Juice,
ETC., as well as ice-cold drinking
water. Cans are installed so that 40
gallons of ice cream can be kept on
hand, thus enabling the carrying of
many different ~flavors of ice cream
and sherbets.
This new and most ~up-to-date i'm
provement will undoubtedly enable
the store to give the best of service
and the new feature of brick ice
cream will be a big item to Rawlins

MARY PICKFORD WEARS
NEARLY TON OF CLOTHES

If all the costumes worm by Mary
Pickford in her current United Artists
attraction, Dorothy Vernon of Had
/ don Hall' were weighed at once, they
would " tip the beam" at a quarter
of a ton, according to a letter received
from the Pickford-Fairbanks studios
by John Bangs of the Strand Theatre.
Miss PickfOrd wore thirteen cos
tunes of the E~lizabethan period while
making the picture, the letter stated,
n each dress was heavily beaded
and b%rocaded, some of them requir-
ing several weighty petticoats besides.
Imagine a young girl of today be-
ing married in a bridal gown weigh
ing fifty pounds" said Mr.. Bangs,
Yet the wedding gown worn by Miss
Pickford as Dorothy Vernon weighed
that much, and she not only had to
don it once, but several times, which
certain of the scenes had to be taken
three, four and even five times, which
required hours of walking and stand
ing"
The principals of the cast, not
counting Miss Pickford, had ninety
changes of costume, the total weight
of which was a ton and a half.
All told, 1000 costumes were used
in this picture, which takes into ac-
count the CARDS of peasants, ladies-in-
waiting, couriers, soldiers, court at
taches, servants, etc. The combined
weight of all the costumes is estimat-
ed by Mitchell Leisen, who designed
them to be more than seventeen tons.
This is one of the heaviest pic
lures of the season., said Mr.. Bangs.
Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hail.
will remain at the Strand for two
days. 1T is not only rated as Miss
Pickford's best effort, but is perhaps
the best costume picture of its kind
ever made. The run on June s and
Q is being supplemented by unusual
music and a special presentation.

CARELESSNESS WITH
FIRE INEXCUSABLE

The fire demon is taking an in
creasing toll every year in this coun-
try, on account of careless folks in
the mountains. They ride in comfort
able automobiles, throw smoking
stubs of cigars and cigarettes into
the brush and leave live Goals in
their campfires. Such habits are dan
gerous even in the city, where there
are paved streets, tiled floors and
electric stoves; but they are fatal
to the future of Il forests.
Fire swept over thousands of
acres of timber land last summer
and fall. The time of year is APP
preaching again when such fires may
be expected. Every citizen who goes
into the mountains should have i'm
pressed upon his mind in some man
ner the tremendous fire responsible
tiles that rest upon him along the
roads, trails and in the camps.

A Real Need for q

in the receipt and delivery of mai
matter.
Yet, with all this expert handlins
and careful study of handwriting OF
the part of the postal clerks the an,
nual revenue from dead mail matter
received by the government amounts
to approximately $300, 900.
Last year, the Dead Letter Office
received 100000 from the sale OF
orphaned packages which could Meth.
er be forwarded to the addresses
nor returned to the senders because
of adequate addresses. The same
office turned into the United States
treasury $~55,523.96 in cash removed
from m~isdirected letters or found
loose in the mails.
postage stamps were taken from
letters or found loose in the mails
having a value of ~$12,165.67, almost
double the entire revenue of the
postal service in 1888.
Three-cent fees collected for the
return to senders of letters which
could not be delivered totaled $92,-
007.54.
But this is not half the story.
Checks, drafts and money orders,
whose II could not be located,
and amounting to S3,546,542.54 fin
ally found a resting place in the Dead
Letter Office.
For want of correct or complete
addresses 21,000, 900 letters were de-
posted in the Dead Letter Office, not
to speak of 1000 parcels which
had been improperly addressed or
wrapped.
Strange to say, this depositing of
letters and packages in the mails with
incomplete, inadequate or incorrect
addresses and wrapping comes, in a
large majority of cases, from those
patrons who are the most liberal con-
tributors to this branch of the United
States government.
1t has been estimated by postal
officials that 200. 900, 900 pieces of
mail are given directory service
every year, which means that en-
ployees must take time from the reg
ular handling and dispatching of
mail in the endeavor to provide cor
rect addresses for this huge volume
of misdirected matter. In New York
City, alone. the cost of this service
approximates $500 every day in the
year and the total amount through
the country is stupendous.
While the revenue from the Dead
Letter Office is sufficient to keep
that branch of the postal service
functioning 1t Is not nearly enough
to pay the annual toll for support of
the Mike"
a mike" is a letter or parcel so
improperly addressed that 1t can
neither be delivered to the addressee
nor returned to the sender without
special treatment. This special costs
the Post Office Department or the
tax payer in the final analysis. APP
proXimately Sl,740,000 every year.
In order TO lift this tremendous
burden from the shoulders of the
Post Office Department and IN the
pocketbook of the American people,
the first week in June has been set
aside by Postmaster General New
as Better Mailing Week" An active
nationwide campaign will De con-
Quoted during that period for the
purpose OF impressing on the mailer
the necessity from every viewpoint

The Saratoga & Encampment road

ing will probably be conducted at
Saratoga, an intermediate point on
the road.
The residents of the valley served
by the railroad are extending them

STUDEBAKER LINES

a Denver salesman called on us a few DAYS ago and
talked so much about football and golf, and told so
so many funny stories that we got the idea that
BUSINESS with him was a side line and didn't give him
an order. When you make us a call you'll hear
us talking Studebaker-that our business.
We have never known a business firm that did not
need more business. The wise salesman will check
ms Jokes with his car at the curb. Repartee makes
reading lively, but it makes business dull. Half of
the world take a joke seriously anyway and the
other half will if you repeat it often enough. He
laughs best who doesn't laugh at all when he's
dealing with the public. When you are considering
the purchase of "A Studebaker you are not seeking

ance and economy of the car, and that is the weight

FALL 900 FEET In AIR
PLANE AT PHOENIX

Roman Hubbell and R. F. Karigan,
both Of Ganado, and sometimes of
Gallup, had an experience in Phoenix
last week they will long remember
they fell 600 feet in an airplane. They
had been in the air for probably ten
minutes or longer and had circled over
the city several times; they were en-
joying the thrill of ride through the
air until, suddenly the motor ceased
to run, and the plane began to descend
from its dizzy height. The aviator,
being an experienced pilot, so handled
the plane as it came down that the
lives of his passengers and himself
were saved. When the plane hit the
ground the wheels were wrecked by
the impact with terra firma and the
wings also were broken into frag-
ments. No one of the occupants was
hurt but it was the greatest scare of
their lives and the narrowests escape
from death.
1t is not likely that either Mr.. Hub
bell OF Mr., Karigan will again be par
