SUCCESS TO THE LEGION HE AMERICAN Legion convention closed last night with the grand ball at Lorenzi lake park. For three days, Las Vegas has had the honor and pleasure of acting as host to the state delegates gathered here. The Boulder City American Legion joined with Las Vegas in entertaining our guests, and a most un usual trip to the dam site and through one of the diversion tunnels was a feature of the convention. There were many opportunities for play, but there were also hours devoted to serious business. May the affairs of the American Legion and its members prosper and may this great organization continue to exert its powerful influence for good upon the affairs of the nation. TALK IT OVER <2 OMEOXE has said that there is no dis pute which cannot be better settled by arbitration than by fighting. However that may be, the thought has occurred to us that the matter of taxation within the Boulder reservation could probably be settled satis factorily if representatives of the Depart ment of the Interior, Six Companies, Inc-., Clark county and the state of Nevada were to confer on the matter. So far neither party to the controversy has considered .any argument but his own. A conference on the matter need be no confes sion of weakness by either side, but rather an indication of a desire to cooperate in the best way for all concerned. If some agreement could be arrived at providing for the collection of certain taxes and the exemption of others, the county and state agreeing to the maintaining of schools and courts, it would, undoubtedly, be to the advantage of all concerned,.

INTELLIGENCE TEST >t) Bits Gentle reader (note the singu lar—it would be more singular if there were plurali . . . anyhow Gentle Reader . . . the idea of this test is to deride why the young lady in the picture is turn ing up her nose at the cool drink on such a hot day. Answer: Because the pitcher con tains ice tea. Dear Cavern: We were all having lunch at the Racquet Club, when Benny .-aid to take a piece of coke, an' put it in a fish bowl. Now sometimes it's the heat, and sometimes it's just Benny, so — "Coke?" sez we. "Yeah, coke." sez Benny, "an' a fish bov.l an' some salt an' blueing." Yeah." sez he C mon soda jerk er. “you take a piece of ordinary coke, an' you add font* tablespoons full of salt an' four of blueing, and eight of water, all in a fish bowl, and in a couple of days, letting it stand, you get flowers and trees, and little Eta going to heaven and all sorts of things. "A niece of coke." I said to the coal man. “Just one." I said, acting jus: as if it were a sane request. "Take it out of that basket there.' he sez. "but vou better take two. one is hard to start a fire with." And — "You got.a humor those guys." he said to the girl friend as I left. Anyhow. I tried the great experi ment and it works. Ar.d if you take and add a table spoon full of perfume and one of mercurochrome. your flowers are all pink an' smell real purty. Can you imagine Little Eva go ing to heaven all pink and smell ing purty? But try it, it works!
