PROSPECTIVE BUYERS
CONTINUE INFORMAL
POWER DISCUSSIONS
Agreement Whereby Nevada Is Permitted to
Withdraw Power for Use in State AS and
When Needed, Seen as Solution of Problem;
Formal Meeting Expected to Get Results

WASHINGTON, Oct 1S. GPp-
Prospective buyers of Boulder dam
power, continuing informal and in
dividual conversations tonight, saw
no general conference with Secretary
Wilbur probable before Monday.
They expected to spend Saturday
as the entire week has been spent,
laying the preliminary ground
work for final power allocGt,on
Secretary Wilbur made it known
he expects them to be prepared for
business Monday with all PROPOSE
tions in written form.
One of the chief barriers to allo-
cation was removed by a ruling Of
the Department of the Interiors
legal department that Nevada could
not sell power allocated to her out
side the state. Unless Nevada car
ries this question to the Department
of Justice the meeting will proceed
on the basis that Nevada must de-
velop a home market as she pur-
chases from the government:
George Malone, head of the Nevada
delegation, while expressing himself
as disappointed with the ruling said
it merely meant that Nevada would
have less time in which to achieve
electrical development which she
sees in Boulder Dam. What
we are working for is develcpmeat
within our own borders" he said,
that is why we want definite al
location at this time"
Private messages from Senator
Key Pittman indicate that Nevada's
position in the power matter is very
satisfactory.
If the Secretary of the Interior
carries out his plan and contracts
for all the power with Los Angeles,
subject to withdrawal at any time II
any amount up to the maximum al
location for Nevada. then Nevada
will not have to conTracC WIUhlll
two years 10 pay for the entire 20
per cent of the power allocated to
her, but will only have to contract
that she will pay for power she de-
mands and receives, and at the time
she receives il.
Nevada would not demand power
until she has sale for it; then the
purchaser from the state would put
up security that would guarantee
the payments TO the government.
In other words, under such a
plan, Nevada would have no finan-
cial responsibility, and it would b.
either to amend the
or bond the state.

Saving Eyesight
Is Part Of Work
County Nurse Tells of Child
rem Rescued From Proba-
BILE Blindness Through Aid
of Kindly Souls.

Miss Luciele Withers, county
nurse, yesterday revealed a feature
Of the work which is being carried
On under her supervision among
the school children of Clark county,
which is not generally known by
the public.
That is, the work being done
with the assistance of kindly souls
who have interested themselves, in
saving the eyesight of children
whose eyes are defective.
Among ether cases, Miss Withers
told Of the two Huston children
girls aged four and twelve years
respectively, who were born with
out the natural coloring pigments
in their skins. Such, commonly
called Albinos, have peculiar af-
fecticn of the eyes which takes
the nature of uncontrolled eyeballS,
the sight rowing here and there
continually, the eyes being in mo-
ton even during sleep. There is
but little coloring to the iris, the
eyes generally taking on a pinkish
cast
Coupled with the other difficult
les, the Albino eye is generally
severely aStigmatized. In. the case
Of the girls above mentioned the
imperfect eyesight has been grad
ually failing.
Miss WitherS has succeeded in
enliSting the interest OF Dr.. Fisher
Of Los Angeles in these cases, and
believes that with proper treat
ment and suitable glasses, the vi
sion can be at least partially re-
stored.
Dr.. Dixon, optometrist, CT this
city, is also giving his services to
the cause. He has undetaken the
case of little Curtis Leavitt, son
of Ira Leavitt who lost his life
several months ago III an accident.
The lad has been gradually 60
ing blind for lack Of proper care
and treatment, but those interest
ed in the case are hopeful that the
boy may be restored to at least so
percent normal vision.
DR.. Dixon has also undertaken
to aid two other children who
live in Vegas and who have been
lacking proper assistance to their
eyeSight.
Mis- WitherS states that she has
found a number OF cases OF very
defective vision which are being
remedied
Educational District No. !, u"
said Miss Withers, lis doing every
thing possible to assist III this
work. The people Of the northern
part of the county are showing
most laudable enterprise in look
ing after the welfare of their
children"

Fountain Of Perpetual Youth Has
Been Discovered, Surgeons Declare
After Rejuvenation Operation

1929, said the operation has passed
the experimental stage and that
hundreds of persons have been
treated successfully by the method.
The operation, he said, does not
involve transplanting OF glands or
the use of glandular extracts.
1t is described as thlebothleboS-
tony, or in the language OF the lay
man, a transfer of blood from one
vein to another.
The method consisted of joining
the semoral and pampiniform blood
vein in the abdomen so that blood
from the Semoral vein courses
through the pampiniform vein. New
blood in the latter, the doctor said,
revitalizes the glands, which in
turn are believed to control the
course of life.

Speaking of links.

I don't think much of James B. links,
although men say he's clever: he likes
to tell me what he thinks, and talks
away forever. He's loaded down with
useful lore, he's primed with helpful
knowledge, but find him the dulleSt
bore that ever went through college. I
well might learn some useful things If
would listen humbly, be silent while
his larynx rings, absorb his sayings
dumbly. But James won't hear another
talk, he must do all the spelling; so
when meet him, as walk, view him
with Ill feeling. He lifts his voice, he
wags his chin, and makes his long ora
ton, and thinks me rude If break in
with some wise observation. He in
terrupts me whenI speak, he browns me
with his clamor, he leaves me sick at
heart and weak, and full of katzen-
TANNER. I never yet have known toff
who liked to mutely listen, while some
one talked his whiskers off with words
that CLEAN and glisten. Although we
cannot charm the birds with language
high and, stately, II we can't edge in
~. So we dislike the gifted guy who
must do all the talking, who, II we'd
venture a reply, shows divers signs of
baking. If Solomon came back to
earth, and I should chance to meet
him, I'd bow before his mighty worth.
with deepest awe I'd greet him. But If
he cornered all the talk, monopolized
the phrases, I'd gently push him of the
walk and bid him go to blazes. It al
ways makes us sore and sour, we feel
like driven cattle, when some one lee
lures by the hour and makes the welkin
rattle. WALT MASON.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. w. has two children-Arthur.
4, and Ann, 2-wno have an exaggerated
case of the wanderlust. Despite threats
of punishment and constant vigilance.
If the maternal eye so much as turns
sidewise they are out in the street
running wildly until captured and
brought home.
One day Arthur followed a vegetable
man while the town turned out to hunt
for him. He was found two miles from
home, dripping with perspiration and
asserting yehemently that he knew how
to get home. AS his face was turned
homeward, there was no one to say
thet he didn't.
The tales Of runaways and their
miraculous escapes can be continued
indefinitely. In every family there is
one child to whom toys and play ap-
paratus have no charms, to whom out
side pastures are always greenest and
to whom home entertainments are COM
pletely overshadowed by the thrill of
the street.
What shall be done? One can't ex-
pect a child to remember a promise
when faced with possible excitement
and adventure. One can't in decency
paint a portrait Of probable disaster,
for the child takes the dare too often
and escapes uninjured, so his confidence
in his mothers veracity Is shattered

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

September 10, 186l.-The hotels Of
Washington again are swarming night.
" with volunteer officers, in spite OF
Gen. McClellan's general orders to the
contrary.
If this situation does not improve, 1t
has been suggested that Gen. Porter, the
provost marshal, send squads once an
hour, from 8 o'clock to IL o'clock,
through all the local hotels, rigidly
regiment without leave and gathering
facts on which to bring charges against
any general officer or regimental COM
mander vino grants "leave" to subordi-
nate officers to be spent In hanging
around Washington barrooms and hotel
lounging places.
Many Washingtonians have been
wondering, since the war started, what
the city will do for oysters during the
coming Winter. Some persons are de-
handing that special expedition be
the Virginia shores of Chesapeake Bay
to reclaim the Virginia oyster beds from
the Confederates. The prospect for
good. supply of oysters during the season
Is anything but bright.
The chief sources of oyster supply on
the Virginia shore are entirely cut of,
and the whole dependence must be placed
for the present on the Maryland DeQS.
Most oysters lovers say that those found
in the Maryland creeks and coves are
smaller than the Virginia oysters and
not equal to them in flavor.
This morning portion Of the troops
under command of Gen. Franklin was
reviewed by Maj. Gen Mcclellan, who
was attended by his staff in full uni
form. The Prince de Joinville, Due de
Charities and Count de Paris. who
reached Washington last evening, were
present at the review.
Members of the 9Th Pennsylvania
Regiment are threatening today to
wreak summary vengeance on the pro-
prietor of Conrad's Tavern. in Ten
leytown. A sergeant Of the regiment
in civilians dress got into trouble in
the tavern last night and was elected
by James Collins, the barkeeper. Soon
after q large number of the Penn
sylvania 9Th gathered in and around the
tavern and threatened to tear or burn
1t down.
Some Of them threw Collins on the
floor and held Bowie knife close to
his throat, but the 'barkeeper managed
to make his escape through trapdoor
leading into the cellar.
Three companies OF the Sd Pennsyl-
vania Regiment were called out and
finally enforced order. The offlcer of
the night gave orders to fire three times,
which, If they had been obeyed. would
probably have resulted in considerable
loss of life. The disaffected men are
still in a threatening mood today.
