IN Las Vegas itself there are gambling clubs,

Las Vegas" has become the gateway to the
Hoover Dam Nearly all the supplies used in
the construction and maintenance OF Boulder
City come through Las Vegas; and it is to Las
Vegas that the Boulder City visitor goes first.
Before the Boulder Canyon project became
a certainty, Las Vegas had about 5000 popula-
ton. In few months it had jumped to more
than 5000 and it is still growing. Men f1ocked
there from all over the country-many of them

gambling is in striking contrast with Las
Vegas and its surroundings. The first question
asked by the visitor is How do you expect such
an experiment to work out?'
The answer Is that Boulder City is to be
made attractive enough in an amusement way
to keap most of its citizens at home. Besides,
the self-interest of the workers is appealed to.
The work on the big project is fraught with so
many dangers that cooperation is required all
down the line. The man who hasn't his mind
on his work is looked upon as menace not
only to himself, but to others. The slightest
miscalculaticn-a rock loosened or tool care
lessly dropped down the canyon-nay cost hui
man life. Too many visits to the bright lights
and man will find himself dropped from the
pay roll, not as matter of individual reform,
but as "safety-first" measure.
At Boulder City it doesn't take one long to
realize that he is in a different atmosphere
from that of Las Vegas. In the engineers Of

To End a Cough
In a Hurry, Mix
This at Home

To quickly end stubborn coughs due
to colds, it is important to soothe the
inf1amed membranes, get rid of the
germs and also to aid the system in
wardly to help throw off the trouble.
For these purposes, here is a home
made medicine, far better than anything
you could buy at 3 times the cost From
any druggist, get 21a ounces of Pinex.
Pour this into a pint bottle, and add
plain graduated sugar syrup or strain
ed honey to fill up the pint. This takes
but moment, saves money, and makes
a remedy so effective that you will never
do without once you have used it.
Keeps perfectly, and children like it.
This simple remedy does three neces-
sary things. First, it loosens the germ
laden phlegm. Second, it soothes away
the inflammati ton. Third, it is absorbed
into the blood, where it acts directly
on the bronchial tubes This explains
why it brings such quick relief, even
in the obstinate coughs which follow
cold epidemics.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway Pine, containing the
active agent of creosote, in a refined,
palatable form, and known as one of
the greatest medicinal agents for severe
coughs and bronchial irritatiOns.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
1t is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

WOnenSeek
Voting Right
in Bermuda

Bermuda women are confident Of
securing equal suffrage this year.
A monster petition has been pre-
sented to the assembly and an I'M
official poll Of its members indicates
that the measure giving the vote
to women will be passed at this
session of the assembly.
For close to a century the ques-
ton of equal suffrage has been
agitated in Bermuda. but not until
this year has a strong body Of
opinion developed toward the move
ment
Colonel Mary Booth, Salvation
Army leader, has been active in
carrying on the drive for equal
rights, addressing large public meet
ings in many parts of the colony.
The equal suffrage bill will be pre-
sented this month by S. S. Squirting,
leader of the house of assembly,
and its early passage is generally
predicted.
Political and economic codes
handed down for hundred of years
have created unique franchise
situation in Bermuda. Any man
who possesses freehold rated at
81 200 may be a candidate in any
parish. To vote, a man must re-
ceive the profits of a freehold rated
at $500. A person owning property
in two or more parishes is entitled
to two or more votes.
Ironically, under the present laws,
husband not owning property may
register his wife's property in his
own name for voting purposes, and
thus cast a ballot on the strength
of his wifeS real estate, although
his wife can not yet vote.
The Bermudian legislators were
surprised early this year at the de-
termination and force of the stuff
rage leaders seeking to bring about
political equality. The early at
tempts of some legislators to stifle
the drive have been given up and
most of the die-hardS have been
won over to the cause. This month,
it is expected, viii mark the end
of one of the most colorful move
ments for equal suffrage ever staged
in the western hemisphere.

Post-Lenten parties bring that
-us-be-gay" atmosphere.
Of course, everybody will need
a new party dress or two to see
them through the little season"
which follows Easter.
With winters preference for
plain colors, and particularly for
white or black high-lighted with
glowing color, there's something
fresh as spring itself in new
printed dress.
Moreover, these new printed
things emphasize the spring lines
that everybody wants to be seen
wearing.
For instance. instead of the for
NAL decolletage of winter, the
arms have way of covering
themselves with short sleeves.
with ruffleS, with berthas, with
little youthful looking capelets,
with anything anybody has a mind
to put on arms!
Ideal for this post-Lenten time
is a new little dress of printed
crepe that is smart enough to go
to the incest party and informal
enough to be worn at any little
dinner or dance you to want to
attend.
1t has pastel colored flowers,
pink, yellow and white, on q soft
lavender background. and mighty
pretty fresh and springlike it is,
too. The cape sleeves end nice
and high, and there is an unusual
touch in the flower-like bow at
the side-back of the waistline.
It's flower-like crepe and pretty
color and its smart, new high
wasted line make it the kind of
dress that lends enchantment to
the most glamorous spring night.

A Sumner SUGGESTION

Spicy sausages and escalloped
potatoes go very we'll together and
the flavor of each is improved if
they are baked in the same dish.
Choose sausages which are prac-
tically greaseless and arrange them
on top of the baking dish of pota-
toes. Cook in moderate tempera-
ture oven so the sausages won't
become overlooked before the pota-
toes are done.
