Las Vegas Boasts
Vast Endowment
Ennmerson Sees Great Future
For Vegas, Which He Pre-
diets Will Be Leading Bus
mess Center.

Milo Elson Enmerson, who re-
Gently acquired an option ON the
George Wingfield hotel site, corner
of Second and Fremont streets i'll
this city, in an interview with the
Age last night, made the following
statement and prediction;
Speaking of endowments, this IS
an age of endowments in the
broadest sense of the term. 1nsur-
ance companies through their study
of actuaries are able to write endoW-
ment policies guaranteeing In the
matter of a given amount OF an es-
tate, whether we live to pay the es-
tate off or die before the estate is
earned. Likewise every business IS
seeking to endow itself against fu-
ture financial destruction.
But nature endowed Las Vegas
and vicinity long before man or
beast was here. Endowed 1t with
vast deposits of minerals and other
commodities too numerous to cata"
Iogue. Endowed it geographically,
making it the logical point Tor con-
struction of a dam, the largest OF its
kind in the world
Hundreds of millions will be
spent developing power and the
natural wealth of this community
during the next ten years. During
the same time hundreds OF thous-
ands OF people are going to visit
this vicinity. Some will invest large
sums of money. All must have
shelter and food while here.
We hear a lot about an ACE IN
the hole" having them back 70
back" and cinches here in Vegas
but the real cinch here in Las Ve-
gas is that an endowment by ma
ture has been made that we hao
little or no part in the making.
But we may share in this endoW-
ment only to the extent we have
prepared ourselves previous to the
actual development. The great op-
portunity will have passed whei
the development starts 1t is witt
this point in view that property il
being acquired and building on
large scale is being planned for i'm
mediate action.
Las Vegas is destined to take 1T
place with the leading business cen
ters of the west and that more I'M
mediately perhaps than most real
iZe.

mates For New Sewer Sys-
tenn.

met yesterday afternoon and began
discussion of the paving and
sewer problems which was resumed
at another meeting held last even =
ing
The matter Of moving the curbs
out two feet further from the prop
erty lire as protection for the trees
and the advisability Of installing
curbs with an 18-inch gutter were
discussed.
The request Of several properly
owners that the streets be paved
with asphalt-concrete similar to
that on Fremont street, was also
brought up. The matter of whether
the property owners would approve
OF the additional cost of the i'm
proVement, also whether, under the
city charter, the assessed valuation
OF the abutting property is sufficient
to carry the greater assessment,
were discussed
Street Commissioner o. j. Smith
was asked to procure approximate
estimates of the cost of the asphalt
concrete for the consideration OF the
board.
AT the evening meeting, the dis
cusSion Of entering into contract
for the engineering for the proposed
extensions of the sewer system was
continued. The board decided 10
employ Koebig & Koebig, eminent
sanitary engineers OF long expert
ence, and the city attorney was di-

A permanent, modern airport,
with a government 1B rating is as
sured Las Vegas as the result OF 4
deal consummated between P. A.
Simon and Western Air Express
whereby the latter company has
leased the Simon field eight miles
north of town for a period of -
years.
Work will start at once toward
completing temporary arrange
ments SO that Western Air planes
may begin using the new field by
October 10. The first work Will
consist of the installation of a gen.
Grating plant and field lights and
the oiling of the present runways,
OF which there are two, one north
and south and one east and west.
Plans call FOR the erection of &
power and telephone line from Las
Vegas. which lines will be laid un-
derground from point three-quart-
ers Of mile distant from the field.
1t is planned to construct two
more oiled runwayS. providing for
eight approaches, which is re-
luirement in order to obtain first
class rating with the government.
The Western Air company plans
the erection of hangar costing
100000. and plans are now being
drawn by that company for a depot
OF suitable size and design.
Mr. Simon stated to representa-
tive OF the Age that present plans
call for the joint expenditure of be-
tween $4,000 and SIS, 900 by him
self and the Western Air Express.
The Western Air Express will
handle all business connected with
serving its own ships, but all out
side business will be attended to by
Mr. Simon and associates.
Some people think eight miles is
a long way from town." said Mr..
Simon when telling of his plans to
an Age reporter yesterday after
noon, but the Government conSid-
ers it an ideal location on account
OF the complete absence of buildings
OF any sort.
This zeal also assures the con-
Struction by the Coz -rnment OF the

At 5:07 eastern standard time Mon
day. the Graf Zeppelin, German liner
of the air, was housed in a hangar at
KaSumigaura naval station in Japan,
after travelling approximately $3.50
miles over two continents and the
dangerous and uneXplored wastes of
Siberia. This completed the second
lap of its intended journey around the
world and passed the halfway mark
by almost two thousand miles. The
Il 900 miles from Frederichshafen,
Germany to Tokyo. Japan required
some minutes more than $50 hours of
air travel to complete, but neverthe-
less is mountaineering achievement.
Since that memorable trip of Lind
bergh's to Paris, aviation has made
great strides, but the trips made by
the Zeppelin in comparison to air.
plane travel have proved that lighter
than-air craft are the best and most
safely fitted for commercial long dis
lance flights. Sixty people including
the crew and passengers besides sew
eral tons of cargo were carried by the
Zeppelin on the trip so far and con-
sidering the speed and the ease with
which it Travelled, wonderful advance
ment can be predicted for this mode
of commercial travel in the future.
Considering the storms the great
airship weathered on its former trip
to America and all other conditions
which it has survived. it has already
passed the experimental stage.
Airplanes, although requiring less
space for operation and though they
cannot be compared to the airship
from a safety standpoint for travel
over long and dangerous expanses,
can and will be made the speedy
and efficient mode of short-distance
travel.

When asked what is the matter

car carrying a bevy of fair but mar

also the character builder and her
life was sort of blueprint for the
child
Then science came along with its
machinery and the COM
mercial world with its new services
till the young wife in her kitchenette
was out of a job. Idleness is a dan
gerous thing. and many women soon
found themselves drifting purposeless.
The idea of a career or bank ac-
count of their own seized them. and
they sought and found employment to
supply the family budget or provide
the luxuries almost thrust upon the
modern world.
The cry of equality between the
sexes, theory most disastrous to the
once idolized female of the species,
was also heard, and women sought
and secured political preferment
Many left the home to pursue the
of public life, and
have wrecked the home If not them
selves. Children. have been nipped in
the bud to remain unborn or left to
roam the streets without mothers
care, and society is the loser what
ever may be said in defense of the
modern life. Woman is off her ped
estal and into the mire. and no civili-
cation has yet risen above the stan
dard of its womanhood The rampant
crime of today is doubtless in large
measure due to the lack of maternal
control of childhood.
A home without a mother is nothing
but house, barracks for coarse
and noisy talk, a rendezvous for WHO'D
pee society where night parties are
pulled off, and the moon-tasters union
meets for blear-eyed frolicks. So
there is more than one reason why a
married woman should live at home
besides the very obvious one that in
her work she is often a competitor
of men who are striving to feed and
clothe brood of bairnies who need
vitamins more than she needs a per-
manent wave or box of cosmetics
The rapid transition of our civiliZa-
ton is puzzling the wisest and best of
men, while the added factor of female
competition battles the bachelors of
every art and science. There should
be and ultimately will be work enough
for all, but we are passing through a
crisis just now whose pinching cOndi-
lions are aggravated by the attack of
the ladies' battalion.
Besides, if the population is not
kept up there will come a falling off
in business. and If we bring up mil
lions of grass-orphans there will come
falling off in the standard of our
civilization. 1t used to be asked,
What is the world to a man when his
wife is a widow? And it might now
just as pertinently be asked, What is
the world to man when his children
are orphans? For they are little more
than the DEVILS day-patients when a
working mother drops out of their
lives.
