WHAT PRICE RICHES
WITH $50 IN A
POUND OF DIRT

Gold-S50 to the pound of dirt
riches for the lucky-only another
disappointment to the less favored of
Fortune.
This is Nevada's latest romance of
treasure. Weepah, yesterday only a
pin point of desert and waste land,
today tented city about which, for
miles and miles, stakes mark the
spots where tickle Dame Fortune will
reveal her treasure trove, DOR bring
disappointment to those not destined
to find the pot of gold at the rain
bows end.
Such is the story of Nevada's new
gold field as told by representative
of Dodge Brothers, Inc, who was
one of the first on the scene after the
news of the strike was published.
Journeying from Los Angeles to Wee
pah in Dodge Brothers Scout car,
"old 100000" he swept over four
mountain ranges and passed hundreds
Of loaded car and trucks toiling up
the passes toward the land of treas
ure.
Life is fast and high at Weepah.
Men live at the top Of their lives. All
are potential millionaires. Sums into
the hundreds of thousands flip easily
from tongue to tongue
"The motor car rather than Maude,
the mule, is today the chief transpor-
tation unit. In the desolate stretches
of desert and wasteland around Wee
pah, more famous than all of the rest
of the west for baroness and desola-
ton, water has to be hauled lond
distances by trucks. 1t sells for So d
barrel. Gasoline is so cents a gallon
Ham and eggs are 80 cents.
Like all mining towns Weepah has
its gamblers, it's CRITTERS and its

"Fabled desert characters are APP
pearlng in person at Weepah these
days. A gambling house is unning
full fast and stud, faro and roulette
are being dealt in true western fash
ion. Many well-known characters are
already on the ground. Among them
are: 'Malapai john, Seldom Seen
SLIM" the Tungsten Kid and Hard
rock O'Brien."
AS the Dodge Brothers party was
leaving, a battered car, minus front
tires, came creeping along. "Guess
this is my hard-luck day." was the
plaintive wall from the dust-stained
driver. "Never did have no luck, no.

Free public health nursing is a

taxation for it is as important that
our children should know how to live

that they know how to write. 1t is
as much the duty of community
to protect its citizens from disease
as it is to afford them protection
from fire and theft. The average
cost for the public health nursing
service is $4,000. Yet, it is an in
vestment that pays wonderful divid-
ends in health, happiness and hui
man life.
IF scales could be placed before us
on one side of the life of child and
on the other $4,000, no economic
stress or financial depression would
go against that life, and yet how
many communities look at the dollar

TRUST COMPANIES

The outstanding trust institutions
Of the United States are those that

ton, making an inquiry into the ad
vertising practices of institutions do
ing trust business. Three out of
every four trust companies and banks
engaged In extending trust services
were found to be advertising. The
opinion was expressed by the speaker
that their growth would closely follow
the amounts spent each year for ad.
vertising.
The local newspaper is the most
highly regarded advertising medium,
it was disclosed. In all, 929 companies
answering the QUESTIONABLE used the
local papers and 1913 did not. The in
situations buying space in local papers
are evenly divided among all sections
Of the country. Comparing six media
for selling personal trust services and
considering their effectiveness from
the standpoint Of producing results,
the speaker declared that the local
newspapers should head the list. Fold
ers and booklets can reach limited
audience, he observed, but the news
paper is the best medium for acquir-
ing prestige and mass circulation. 1t
should never be omitted, he urged.

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
BY NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE
THE AMBITIOUS GUEST

"Thev would not be a girls feel
inss anv longer if they could be put
into words" replied the mountain
nymph, laughing, but avoiding ms
eye.
All this was said apart. Perhaps a
germ of love was springlng In their
| hearts; for women worship sucn

contemplative, yet kindly soul IS

And grandma now had her turn
and it was a superstition connected
with death of which she spoke. she
wanted to be sure she lay all rlgnt

one of them to hold a mirror Eefore

at herself and see that all was right:
"Old and young, We dream OIL

! in the ocean-that wide and hame-
less sepulchre?"
For a. moment the old woman's
CHASTITY conception so engrossed the
minds of her hearers that a SOUND
abroad in the night, rising like the
roar of a blast had grown broad,
deep and terrible before the fated
| group were conscious OF 1t. The
house and all within it trembled:
the foundations of the earth seemed
to be shaken, as il this awful sound

THE Slide! The Slide"
The simplest words must intimate.

Movie Tears.

Honestly some of you women ask
such silly questions. Vt seems shame
to answer them, but I'd probably be
fired if / didn't, so perhaps it's better
to get Pansys request over with.
Pansy wants to know If it's bad
form to cry at the movies. She says
she loves to 'amble out to the picture
show with John or Oswald or Percy,
and when the lights grow low and the
pictures flicker dismally, displaying
little Eva about to be whipped for
loving the wrong man-Pansy just
breaks down and has real good cry
on Oswalds shoulder. Is this wrong?
Does this make him think less of her?
Will / please write an answer to this
vital, heart-burning question, SO that
the whole Nation may get it's sleep
tonight?
Pansy's question in itself Is Of such
infinitesimal Importance as to be
ridiculous. but it brings up this whole
interesting business of being senti-
mental.
Most girls are terribly sentimental
and lots of them can't figure out why
they should be ashamed of it.
Why should one cover the tears
that spring to the eyes at the most
badly written little sob-story Of home
and mother and good old faithful Rex?
The answer is that sentimentality
is usually a response to cheap appeal.
And none of us like to admit that we
respond to cheap appeal.
Now, If an awful grief comes to us,
If we bow our heads in mourning over
a terrible disaster. q dreadful separa-
ton, a crushing loss, then we're not
being sentimental. What we feel at
times like those is real emotion, and
no one is ashamed of real honest-to-
goodness emotion.
But what we feel at the movies over
some trivial story of a timeworn situa-
ton in which the beautiful heroine is
taking a terrible beating for the
elShty-thousa ndth time-what we feel
then is just a sentimental desire to
break down and cry because we're
getting into the spirit of the thing.
We can't be feeling real emotion.
No human being can work up actual
emotion over a hackneyed story. badly
written. and overacted.
No, the girl who cries at the movies
and cries over 10-cent love stories
simply indicates that her tear-ducts
are full to overflowing most of the
time, and only need the slightest ini-
petus to start them working.
She isn't having any real emotion
and TO one in the world inagines that
she is.
Well, the danger of that sort of
thing is that other persons do not re-
spect her real emotions If they happen
to catch glimpse of them
Should she have any occasion to dis
play real grief. people will only say:
"Oh, Pansy will get over this. She
cries about everything, and in 10 min.
utes she's over it. She doesn't feel
anything"
AS / have pointed out before, there
are lots of times when we really do
need sympathy and loving help
every one of us. Well, we're not in
line to get it, If we persist in weeping
out of sheer sentimentality. We shut
out sympathy and cheaper our own
tears by constant repetition.

Come. :"

1t is always better to say Come"
to child than to say GO" 1t is
very important, however, that when
you tell child to come to see that he
comes. l am talking now about little
children. from the age of creepers to
kindergarten. Come must be come.
A little child is the most helpless of
natures children. His infancy is very
long because he must make great
preparation for the threescore and
ten years allotted him. During
those years of searching and expert
encing the life about him he must
have and is entitled to our protection.
If 3-year.old Is trotting about the
garden or trying to make his way
along a sidewalk it will be necessary.
sooner or later, to say Come" The
child will not wish to come. He is
interested in what he sees. He joys
in discovering new sights and sounds
and smells. He can drift among them
for hours, until he falls off his feet,
and still be unwilling to leave.
Yet he must come" There are
other things to be done, there are
other folks to consider. His time is
up and he must accept the order of
the day. He does not know when he
is fatigued beyond safety. He does
not know when he is in danger. He
cannot understand the schedules OF
the adults. Therefore, he must be
guided by those who know and who
do understand.
What is to be done when he does
not come? Call him gently and firmly
when you are sure that you mean
what you say. When you realize that
he must come. If there is a slight
doubt about it, if you are thinking,
"Well, he might stay few minutes
longer" wait until that time has
passed. wait until you mean exactly

what you say and then say it. The
state of your mind is reflected in your
voice and any uncertainty will inform
the child that he can wait a little
longer. Once he gets that notion,
Come" means when you are ready"
Such a condition means much trou.
BILE for the child and those who must
care for him. There are times when
it is necessary for the child to come
promptly, and unless he has formed
the habit of doing so he will fail to
respond to his own sorrow and that
of his guardians.
/ The kindergarten child must come
when the teacher gives the signal. If
he thinks he would rather play lit
tie longer, march little more, paint
a few more spots. the classroom can
not function. We all have to help the
days work along from the day we are
born until we leave this earth, and 1t
is unkind to allow a child to cultivate
habit which will handicap him in all
his relations for the length of his life.
Teach him to come. Make sure that
your use Of the order is an intelligent
one and that you never use it unless
it is absolutely necessary.
And never make it like a gunshot.
Attract the child's attention by some
preliminary signal. Don't yank his
mind. When you have his attention
give your command gently and with
faith and assurance. He will come. -

subject. They almost take a pleasur

subject. They almost take a pleasure
in feeling chilly.
Doctors, at least the more recent
graduates, more often find fault
with mothers for making their chill
dren wear too many clothes than too
few. They assure us that children
really need less warm clothes than
adults, and all the time we dress
them as if just because they were
children they needed more.
Until a little girl Is 10 or Il, the
best plan, it seems to me, Is to nave
her wear washable cotton, linen or
thin silk frocks even in Winter. Warm
but not too heavy underwear is usu-
allv advisable. This is usually much
better arrangement that wooden
frocks and cotton underthings.
French children as matter OF
course wear short socks all the year
around, and of course the effect of
bare knees is usually more attractive
than that of long stockings. Quite
Young children wear long CATERS in
very severe weather.
But in most parts of this country
Winters are more severe than IN
France. Unless your child is very ro-
bust and practically free from colds.
YOU had better get your doctors opln-
ion on the subject of short socks. At
least YOU know that he will not be
preiudiced by the consideration OF
style or appearance. and the chances
are that you will be.
Would you like to have some gay
little aprons from Paris to give TO
your friends for Christmas? II you
will send me a stamped. self-addressed
envelope, I will send you a sketch
with diagram pattern and WORKING
directions for making an apron just
like one I have just received from
Paris. am sure you will like it.
