Nevada Town Like Unto
The Dizzy Days of Old I
ELY Nav., Aug. 23.-*—Still cling
ing to the style of the western
mining camp of fifty years ago, this
| little town, perched in the moun
j tain of eastern Nevada, has chang
i ed very little from the time it was
i founded. With the exception of the
automobile things are much as they
were in the early seventies. Saloon
signs still swing over the wooden
sidewalks. Ostensibly they serve on
ly soft drinks inside, but it is said
that real “likker” can still be obtain
ed over the glistening mahogany
bars. It is one of the very few towns
in the United States where legalized
vice remains. Almost every form of
gambling—poker, roulette, twenty
one, panguinge — even baccarat—is
played.
Gayly lighted dance halls flourish
and painted Magdalens attempt to
entice the passer-by with coy smiles
and honeyed words. It is no un
common thing for a gun fight to
ensue between a “buckaroo,” just
off the range ,and a grizzled miner,
smelling ^f earth, over the carmine
smile of a dance hall queen.
Until very recently, when a squad
of prohibition enforcement officers
swooped into Ely for the purpose
og “cleaning up the town,’' it is
said that certain people boasted of
the quality of the locally brewed
beer one could purchase here. There
was a “home brew trust” and all
beer produced had to ;pass a chemi
cal test of high degree before it
was permitted to be put on the mar
ket. The independent brewer would
no sooner start than his product
would be declared inferior and he
would be forced out of business.

Familiar Scenes In
New Alaskan Drama
“The Lure of the Yukon,” which
will show at the Liberty theatre to
night and tomorrow contains many
locatons and personalities familiar to
Sewardites. This is the six reel fea
ture filmed around Fairbanks during
last fall and winter by Norman Dawn
and company of noted film artists.
It is a story of Alaska of today, in
the fall and wintter, with the hero
ine and her father engaged in the
reindeer industry and the news of a
?reat gold strike in no man's land of
the Yukon. The mad rush of hun
dreds of sourdoughs and their dog
teams, the struggle of the hero and ■
the villain for the hand of the fair- i
isl girl in the north, the vicissitudes j
Df the frozen trail, the howling of j
blizzards, and the thunder of a spec-;
tacular avalanche all contribute to
make this epic of true Alaska as
it is today.
Saturday Night Bath
No Myth, Revealed
HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 22.—
This business of the Saturday night
bath may sound rather funny, but
it isn’t any myth.
For, according to information col
lected here, more hot water is used
on a Saturday night than any other
time during the week. In large
cities it has been found that millions
more gallons arc used on “batfr”
night than at other times.
Other facts brought out by the
survey show:
A Chinese restaurant kitchen,
while scrupulously clean, uses only
half as much hot water as an Am
erican kitchen of the same size.
Dish washing machines use more I
water than dishpan and sink but turn
out cleaner dishes.
More hot water is used where there
are servants than where there are j
not.
Hotel baths are used twice as
often by transient guests as by per
manent ones.
Office employes wash regularly at
lunch time, but not so regularly at
the end of the day.
Scrubwomen %do not use much hot
water.
The higher the rent, the greater
the use of hot water in apartments.
To raise a gallon of water 100 de
grees only requires two cubic feet
of gas.
The most economical temperature I
at which to use hot water is be
tween 145 and 150 degrees. On all
intermittent water heating gas is
cheaper than coal.
