Not Allowed Dates

Dear Martha Lee: I am 10 and am not
allowed to have dates. Don't you think
that | should, if the boy has good repu-
taton and we so places that are respecta-
bic: SWEET SIATEEN.
If you are not allowed to have
dates, that would mean that you
would have to deceive and possibly
deliberately lie to bring them about.
You also would have to meet the
young man away from home.
All OF this is just what a sweet
young girl ought not do. Wait
awhile, dear. 1t will be a thousand
times wiser.

LOS ANGELES BECOMES
AN INDUSTRIAL CITY

The growing Importance of Los
Angeles as a city of industries is
seen in the results of a survey
by r. D. Sangster, manager Of
the industrial department of the
chamber of commerce, which
gives $1,275,0OO,OOO as the value
of products manufactured here
last year.
These products were made in
$500 factories, employing 175,-
900 persons, with an annual pay
roll of 1926, 100000. 1t is pointed
out by Mr.. Sangster that a large
percentage of this amount found
it's way back into the channels
of trade.
AS further evidence that Los
Angeles has long since ceased
to be merely a city of fine eli
mate, picturesque bungalows and
sunshine. the year just ended
brought to the metropolitan area
some 300 new branch warehouses
and distributing centers.

basket ball game score so to 10
The score at the end of the
first quarter was 13 to 2 in favor
of Tonopah. Thus Tonopah kept
up it unbroken record of winning
more scores in the first quarter
than any opponent made in the
entire game.
Steve Ballet, manager TO the
Muckers said:
Home town boys seldom get
the credit, at home that they
are really entitled to, but al
though the Vegas team did no.;
win, they put up a snappy, fast
game. Don't be deceived in Their
ability as players.
"They went against the fastest
team in the state, one that has
never been beaten, and one that
is matched to play the A. T. o.
of the University of Nevada.
Tonopah players go into every
game to- make more scores in
the first quarter than their op-
ponent can make in the whole
game. go far they have an un-
beaten record"

The great Developments which
J. A. Moore and associates an
nounced last week, are IN no
sense dependent upon the passage
or the Boulder Lam Dill al the
present SESSION Oh congress.
In an interview with the Age
last week, Mr.. Moore, known
widely as Empire Builder OF
the Northwest, said emphati.
cally:
You will sea Las Vegas q
city of $4,000 people within the
next five years, whether the
Boulder Dam bill passes this
session or not. The interest
which myself and associates ara
taking in your city is not depen-
erdent in any degree upon Boul-
der canyon, although we recog-
nize that as inevitable. Whether
this year or next makes but
little difference"
Following his announced plans
for development of large
acreage of land adjoining Las
Vegas, Mr. Moore this week made
an offer of $4,000 for the So
acres of land just south of town
owned by c. S. Wengert, Fred
Hesse and Leland Ronow.
Mr.. Moore is now in Los Angel
es comforting with his associates
and is expected to arrive in Las
Vegas Sunday.
Mr.. Haenke. architect of the
Richmond hotel, arrived in Vegas
Saturday last and spent several
days in the work preliminary to
drawing plans for the new 100

will be erected on the corner
of Second and Fremont on the
property, purchased of DR.. Roy
w. Martin.
All preliminary details of the
Richmond hotel project except
the completion of an agreement
with the railroad company, have
been completed. 1t is announced
that this detail will be completed
as soon as the legal department
of the road can act, clearing the
way for beginning work at an
early date.

DOUGH FLAKE APPLIED
TO LAS VEGAS STREETS
Main Street First to be
Treated With Calcium
Chloride Dust PreVenta-
tive

The interesting experiment of
treating The streets of Las Ve-
gas with calcium chloride. COM
nl9nly hnown as dough flaae, IS
being carried out this week.
The material, a white granular
substance with particles about
the size of fine gravel, was ap-
ed to Main street Thursday. 1t
las the peculiar attribute of at
tracing to itself from the air
or elsewhere any moisture there
may be. A few hours after the
first application was made the
surface of the street was damp
and automobiles were driving
over it without any dust what
ever. Aftes a short interval to
permit the first application to
mix with the surface of the
straet q second dose of the mater
ial will be applied, which, in the
opinion of those who claim to
know, will keep the street IN
good shape for from eight mon
tbs to year.
Street Commissioner o. ],
Smith states that the next street
to receive attention will be
Fifth street from Stewart to Gar
ces. This street has much ira
vel, and the effect OF the cal
cium chloride on the gravel
surface will be watched with In
terest. -,
Mr.. Smith states that there will
be very little if any difference
in cost between treating the
streets with dough flake every
year and sprinkling. In view oi
the fact that sprinkling has in
the past proven ineffective in
keeping the dust down because
of the quick evaporation of the
water, the belief is expressed thai
the dough flake will give much
better service at no greater cost
Any plan which will. to
large measure eliminate the dust
nuisance in Las Vegas will meet
with general approval.
These applications of dust lay
ing material are in the nature o.
experiments and future actor
! will depend on the results.
Mr.. Smith estimates that the
cost of treating all the streets II

CHANGES IN CHARTER
UNDER CONSIDERATION
Plan to Change Tenure of
Commissioners to Provide
HoldoVers Suggested

Under the City Charter as it
is at present, the entire city
board including the mayor must
be elected every TWO years. THIS
results frequently in an entire
change in the personnel OF the
board.
1t has been suggested that a
better policy would be to change
the tenure of office of the mayor
and commissioners so that they
would be instead for four year
terms instead of two, and pro
vide for the election of the mayor
and two commissioners at one
election and so on, thus always
retaining two experienced com
missioners in office.
The system entirely changing
the personnel of the city board
at each election has obvious dis
advantages. 1t appears that 1t
would be wise to always have
experienced men on the board
Under the present system mem
bers OF the board hardly become
familiar with their duties and the
necessities of the city when their
terms expire.
1t would be wise for the cham.
ber of commerce or some other
body to give the question imme
diate consideration with the OBJ
ject of recommending the change
to our legislators if it seems ad.
visable.

VIRGIN VALLEY
EVENING CLASSES
WELL ATTENDED
More than Fifty Grown-ups
Profit by Discussion OF
Practical Subjects

Over fifty grown-ups in Bunker
Vile and Mesquite took the op
portunity of attending the even
ing school classes in Poultry
Production, "Meal Planning for
the Family" and How to Keep
we'll"
The classes in poultry produc-
ton, conducted by L. c. Schank
Of the Virgin Valrey high school,
consisted of both men and wo-
men. The work was taken up
by conference methods and round
table discussions. The Swapping"
of practical ideas with book facts
made very interesting and in
structiye cleBses. The jobs cover
ed by the groups were; culling
poultry, housing poultry, controll-
ing diseases and pests of poul-
try, selecting and managing poul-
try breeding stock, incubating,
brooding and feeding baby chicks,
feeding hens for egg production,
handling and marketing eggs,
and keeping records.
Under the leadership of Miss
Cox the women discussed the in
teresting and important sub
tects of how to keep we'll and
meal planning. The discussions
on how to keep well, were divid-
ed into four topics: value of
fresh air; proper rest and exer-
else; value and use of water
in health; and the relation of
diet to health. The meal plan
ming meals for the week and
the use of leftovers; how to set
a table properly and table man
ners. The attendance was good
and the interest keen at each

LAS VEGAS CARSON
HIGHWAY PLANNED

Build a highway from Las We
gas to Carson City is the plan
Of Senator Henderson of Las
Vegas. In order to carry out
his plan he introduced in tho
the senate a bill increasing tire
highway bond issue from onl
million to a million two hundred
thousand dollars. This it Is
explained, is not hardship, as
it simply extends the time OF
eventual payments two years
and it is paid from the auto Ii
cense fee, says the Appeal.
Senator Henderson and Others
driving from Tonopah to Haw
thorne found one of the worst
sections of road in the state. II
order to build a road the citi
zens may travel from Las We
gas to this city without this
horror the highway is proposed
and can be built without any ex
ira tax on the people.
Senator Henderson states tha'
in many instances tourists an
xious to visit the west end o.
Nevada, Lake Tahoe and othel
points of attraction ask for
routing. They are advised thh
the trip is possible but ovel
rough roads. They go on to Los
Angeles instead.
The extension of the two bonC
issues as proposed simply carries
the redemption forward two year!
with the only additional tax OF
the auto owners of waiting TIVE
years for a slight reduction il
their license plate fee.

The fate of the Boulder Dam
bill in congress is still shrouded
in the gloom of uncertainty. No
substantial advance has been
made toward reconciling the con-
flicting ideas during the week
so far as is apparent.
Senator Johnson, in a speech in
the senate, took occasion to flay
the rules committee of the house
and the alleged seven billion
dollar power lobby, which, pro-
badly, did not add to the small
amount of harmony already
existing.
DR.. Elwood Mead, director of
reclamation, sent statement to
the house rules committee, max
ing a strong plea for the bill.
Secretary Hoover also added
his voice tothe demand for ac-
tion, but so far as is known the
cause of the Boulder Dam bill
was not advanced,
No change has been announced
in the plans to resume the con-
ference between the commission
ers of Arizona, California and
Nevada at Los Angeles next Mon
day and unless word to the con-
trary is received, the conference
will be resumed as announced at
the last adjournment.
The situation regarding the
Boulder Dam bill Is not hopeless,
and it's passage at the present
session is still possible. This
can be brought about probably
only by concessions on the part
of the proponents of the bill
which will place power features
under the Federal Power COM
mission instead of the Secretary
of the Interior as at present. 1t
is urged by the power interests
hat the Federal Power Act pro-
vides perfect and well tried
machinery for controlling the
power ALLEGATIONS, while the pre-
sent bill is in the interest of
governmental ownership.
