No matter what ails your child,
gentle, thorough laxative should al
ways be the first treatment given.
If your little one is out-of-sorts,
half sick, isn't resting, eating and
acting naturally-look, Mother! see
if the tongue is coated. This is q
sure sign that the little stomach,
liver and bowels are clogged with
waste. When cross, irritable, fever
lsh, stomach sour, breath bad or has
stomach-ache, diarrhoea, sore throat,
full of cold, give a teaspoonful Of
California Fig Syrup" and in a few
hours all the constipated poison, un
digested food and sour bile gently
moves out Of the little bowels with
out gripping, and you have a well,
playful child again.
Mothers can rest easy after giving
this harmless, ''fruity laxative"
becaupe it never fails to cleanse the
little ones liver and bowels and
sweeten the stomach, and they dear
ly love it's pleasant taste. Full d.
rections for babies, children of all
ages, and for grown-ups printed on

Beware Of counterfeit fig syrups.

Another Dalton Play
Have just received a copy of a
play written by Test Dalton Of this
city and just published by Samuel
French, New York. 1t is 1.-THE
Mantle of Lincoln" and Dalton Calls
it "a Play for the People"
Dalton has dedicated it to Otto H.
Kahn, who, as Dalton says has
fostered and aided the American
drama for many years in a loyal
and generous manner"
1.-The Mantle of Lincoln" was first
presented at the municipal theaters
in indianapolis in the summer of
1924 and ran for two weeks at Gar
field Park and at Brookside Park. G.
Carlton Guy directed it.
At the time Of its first presenta-
ton here, 1 dwelt at length on Dial
tons idea Of putting Lincoln on the
stage.
1 still think that Dalton has a big
idea in this play. And I think it
would have a wonderful force for
good If it was presented in every
school auditorium in this country.
There Is a definite purpose behind
this play. It aids in character
building although it is entertain
ment.

Born Oct. 16, 1SSS-Today still
living and the most famous play
wright Of his day.
While living he sees his "old"
plays given annual presentations
and his new ones with super casts.
While living he may read his own
biography" Eugene O'Neill," by Bar
rett H. Clark. published by Robert
NJ. Mcbride and Company, New
York.
One does not have to read this
story of his life to arrive at the con-
clusion of this mans greatest in the
theater.
In starting at the beginning, Mr..
Clark writes in Eugene O'Neill as
follows: Eugene Gladstone O'Neill
was born Oct. 16, 1888, at the Bar
rett House, then an uptown family
hotel, now the Hotel Cadillac, on
Broadway at Forty-Third ST., New
York. He is the son of James
O'Neill, the actor, and Ella Quinlan.
His father was one Of the most
gifted American actors, favorite
from coast to coast, and his mother
a quiet woman, whose influence over
the boy can only be surmised. go"
The father Of the playwright was
the actor, who years ago toured the
country many, many times in
Monte Cristo."
According to Clark, O'Neill himself
money out of Monte Cristo," as
easily as $4,000 in a season, that at
the time he did not think it fair to
do other things but in his later years,
O'Neill, ST., was full Of bitter regrets
because he felt that Monte Cristo'
had ruined his career.

Vt LET THEY RULE YOUR HOME, MAR YOUR HAPPINES
Stop the Sale of
Firearms
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

If anything ought to be barred
from the mails, it is guns. Reports
say an act is now being prepared
which will put this matter up to the
Senate this winter. A similar meas
ure was unanimously passed by the
House last session.
If we could prevent the shipping
of firearms through the mails, and
then set about regulating the sale
of them in all communities, there
would be some small chance of our
ourselves from the grow
ing criminal element.
No man who cannot pass a credit
able character test should ever be al
lowed to buy a gun.
The other kind seldom want them
except for hunting purposes, al
though there are few citizens left
who feel safter with a gun lying
around, goodness knows why.
Anyway, the toll of manslaughter
is mounting in the Unuited States
each year. The list of honest citi-
zens killed by thugs is appalling.
The accidental death list is too long.
For at least 80 per cent of these, the
gun is directly responsible.
OF course, gun lovers will argue
that good citizens should arm them
selves as a protective measure. But
this theory hardly ever works be-
cause the criminal always shoots
first. And a mere burglar will often
become a murdered If he sees a gun
pointed toward him.
Many law-abiding citizens keep
guns in their homes, but they seldom
use them. Sometimes they are
handled by children, and a member
Of the family is accidentally shot, or
sometimes somebody gets terribly
angry and, because a gun is handy,
there is another murder case on the
docket.
The safest thing of all is to take

WEEKLY BOOK REVIEW

According to this account, the first
seven years of the playwright's life
was spent in many cities as his
mother accompanied his father on
tour. The next six years he attended
Catholic boarding schools and in 1902
entered Belts Academy at Stamford.
The autumn after his graduation in
1905 he matriculated at Princeton
and there remained until spring when
some prank caused him to be sus-
pended for a year, according to
Clark.
1t seems to me that~many genius
was kicked out of school. He then
went into business with which his
father was connected and after the
firm went out of business, he mar

"Bilr Fahey, Well Known
Character, Died Alone in

J. j. Fahey, better known to his
friends here as Bill was found
dead this morning about 500 in
his room in the Clark building.
He has been ailing for several
weeks and for a time was in the
Las Vegas hospital for treatment.
Contrary to the wishes Of fri
ends he left the hospital last
week
The deceased has sister,
Della Fahey, residing in Buffalo,
N. Y, to. whom Ed Clark wired
the sad news this morning. A
brother who died several years
ago was prominent for years in
Los Angeles as priest of the
Catholic church.
Bill was one of the old timers
of Las Vegas, having been in this
vicinity for more than 20 years.
He was at Caliente for a time
before the completion of the rail
road. He was kindly in disposi-
tion and devoted to his friends,
especially to Ed Clark who knew
him in Caliente and who has
watched over him in a friendly
cay during recent years. Many
in Las Vegas will feel sincere re-
gTet at his passing.

Getting Closer Together

Press reports of proceedings of
the tri-state conference now be-
ing held at Los Angeles over divi-
sion of water and power from
the proposed Boulder dam on the
Colorado river indicate more
tolerant spirit, but it appears that
the delegates are far from final
agreement over the ALLEGATION of
hvdro-electric power. This fea-
ture, as the Nevada State Journal
observes, "is the nub of the en-
tire controversy" That publica-
tion is published by Governor
James G. Scrugham of Nevada,
who is well informed of condi-
tions.
Agreement on the allotment of
water from the Colorado river to
the lower basin states was reach
ed at a conferenc of represen-
tatives of Arizona, California and
Nevada yesterday and is a step
towards breaking the trouble
some deadlock which has curbed
plans for the Boulder canyon dam
The allotment of the waters i'm
pounded by the proposed Boulder
canyon dam is important, but it
is not the most vital question
confronting the conferees from
the three states. Consequently,
the announcement of the agree
ment should not be taken too
optimistically by Nevada.
Power is the nub of the entire
controversy. 1t is the bona of
contention that has always, here
tofore, prevented a tri-state agree
ment on the Boulder dam pro-
posal. 1t is power that Arizona
and California are fighting over,
and it is through power that Ne
vada will gain its greatest bene-
fit through the building of the
great dam near Las Vegas.
Arizona wants to be paid Sc
a year per horsepower generated
at the proposed dam. California
