EYES OF THE WORLD
TURNED NEvADAWARD
w. M. Davis, Western Writer,
Points Out States Attrac-
tions for the Tourist

W. M. Davis, well known writer of
the West, has the following to say in
the state press concerning the scenic
wonders of Nevada:
Take the three counties lying in
the southwestern portion of Nevada
White Pine, Clark, and Lincoln-an
area embracing an empire in extent,
you will find more and varied natural
scenic wonders than are to be found
in any other section of similar area
anywhere.
Lehman Caves, the Lost City, the
Valley of Fire, Black and Boulder
Canyons and Cathedral Gulch, are at
fractions which will undoubtedly
bring much fame and many tourists
to the state, and as development
progresses it is not improbable that
Nevadaward.
Then, too, there are lesser attrac-
tions that in themselves would focus
attention wherever located. With the
completion of an adequate system of
highways these attractions, too, will
The southern end of the state is for
tunate indeed in having so many fea-
lures which will act as a lodestone
to attract tourist travel whenever
these attractions become sufficiently
advertised, and with the campaigns
which have already been inaugurated,
it is safe to say that they will be the
means of attracting many thousands
of worth while people to our state,
some of whom will, no doubt, grasp
the opportunities which exist for the
man who cares to grow up with a
state which does offer advantages not
to be found elsewhere and remain as
citizens of our great commonwealth.
After having visited all of the above
scenic wonders, it is indeed difficult
to catalog them in the order of their
superiority, as all have outstanding
features not possessed by the others,
and within themselves are unique.
Prom the time that the cowboys
horse broke through the crust and
gave Lehman Caves to the world, it
has had remarkable drawing power
only circumscribed by the fact that
the wonders to be seen in the caves
could not be made known to many in
the absence of any well developed
plan for advertising these remarkable
caves to the world. True they drew
the attention of the entire section of
the country in which they lay, but it
has only been in the last two years
that the number of visitors has in
creased appreciably. This is the re-
suit of an energetic advertising cam
paign conducted with but little ex-
penditure which resulted in a very
considerable increase in visitors to
the caves, as they became better
known, as they are bound to be, for
everyone who visits the caves imme-
diately starts on a personal campaign
of making them better known to their
friends.
"Take the Salt Mountain and the
many scenic wonders located in Clark
county These have been known To-
cally for a great many years but the
present season has given them
greater impetus than has been previ-
orsly known. This is due to the
publicity which Governor Scrugham
has been able to secure for these at
fractions in connection with the
pageant at Lost City. This pageant
was an example of highly efficient
advertising. skillfully put on. 50 that

geles. At the same time airplane SER
vice will be established between Elko,

Contracts for carrying the air mail

ing fields and hangers. The contract
for carrying the mail between Salt

press of Los Angeles. =

No matter how much phoning and
visiting you may do, you may still
find a certain amount OF correspond
ence necessary. And of course you
must have stationery on which to
write. In choosing stationery con-
servatism and simplicity are on the
safe side. Follow fashions and fancies
in writing papers slowly, If at all.
It's a standing joke that only chill
dren and domestic servants use pink
and blue papers. If the paper is tinted
at all, the tinting TO be in good taste
should be very delicate. The two
colors that are always fitting and
proper are white and ivory. Other
colors that will do" are bun and
gray.
There should be weight to the
paper, no matter whether the surface
is rough or smooth. Paper that hasn I
body" wrinkles easily, soils quickly
and presents a soft matty appearance.
There are good an bad quality
papers in all weights, so be careful
that you are getting what you pay
for.
To judge the paper hold it to the
light. II it was spread evenly in
making the texture will appear even.
If 1t is splotchy each thin place is
point of weakness. 1t should be uni
form in texture. slightly mottled and
opaque, but never spotty, uneven. or
transparent Good bond paper Isl
crisp like new paper money, and II
will crackle when you shake it.
Test your ink and pen on paper.
Ink should go into the paper just
enough to dry easily. but it should
never spread as in a blotter, nor stay
on the surface so long that il clots.
Your stationery should never be
ruled. If your lines of writing are
inclined to run at angles. use ruled
guide under the paper. Personal
stationery shouldn't be fantastic in
shape Decide on a good size of sheet
and envelope. and keep ii permanent
ly. Many women like to have their
paper initiated. 1t is perfectly good
form to have your home address en-
graved or printed on the top of Your
