HEAPS OF MONEY
SPENT FOR LUXURIES
More money was spent for lux
uries in the United States in 1920 than
was expended on education in the en
tire history of the country, according
to figures today in the office of Dr.
P. P. Clayton, United States commis
sioner of education.
The total sum spent on luxuries in
1920 was $22,700,000,000. In 1918
the country spent $919,729,258 for ele
mentary and higher education. Ft >m
the beginning of American history and
until 1920, a grand total of $16,645,
000,(XX) was devoted to education.
Included in the figures arc items for
public education, elementary and sec
ondary, normal and technical schools,
whether supported by public taxation
or privately owned. Salaries for tea
chers, cost of buildings, upkeep and
equipment also are included in the
total.
Completed figures for 1918 show that
instructors in all of ottr schools receiv
ed salaries totaling $492,745,240.

Claxton pointed out that the pcoPlc
of the United States blew away in
smoke and cigarrettes $300,(XX),000
more than was spent on alt forms ol
education in 1918, while the total cost
of all forms of tobacco in 1920 was
five times the total of teachers' sal
aries in 1918. H the People'who
smoke and chew would only take two
smokes in the place of three, and two
chews in the place of three chews and
devote the money thus saved to sol'
port the schools, the salaries of all ol
the schools could he increased more
than 120 per cent, he said.
Correct Way to Receive Burglar.
The old plan of offering a burglar a
cigarette and asking him to tnke a
cliulr while you telephone to the po
lice Is not now so successful ns In the
past. The beet plan Is to tackle the
fellow right away. For this purpose
you should step behind him. take hold
of bis coat and force It over his fuce.
Then tie his left arm to his right leg
across the bock. Properly carried out.
this method rarely fulls.—Loudon

A Fiendish Deed
(From the Yerington Times)
Not only were the people of Ycr
ington horrified on receipt of the re
port that Miss Lucille Gallagher had
been fiendishly assailed by a woman
in Jerome, Arizona, last Thursday,
but expressions of indignation camt
from all over the county. ,
While seated at breakfast in a restu
raut in company with Miss Elsie Hum
phries, also a school teacher, in Je
rome, Thursday morning a woman
named Irene Hopkins, entered tlu
restaurant, and, unobserved, poured the
contents of a bottle of carbolic acid
into a tumbler, and grabbing Mis
Gallagher by the%air, held her head
hack and threw the acid into her fac<
and rubbed it into her eyes.
Medical aid was immediately sum
moned and everything possible done
to alleviate the pain and prevent in
jury to the unfortunate girl's eyes and
disfigurement to her face.
An Imaginary Grievance
Investigation 'by the authorities o
Jerome revealed that the attack was
the result of an imaginary grievance
of long standing. Trouble began
when Hopkins, the woman's husband
left his position with the United Verdi
Copper Company to take up war
work at Washington. Miss Lucille
Gallagher and another Jerome teacher
were in Washington at the time. Hop
kins and a fellow engineer, attached
to the staff of the United Verde Com
pany, accidentally met the girls on tlu
street and invited them to dinner, then
to a theatre. Mrs. Hcpkins heard of
the party more than a year ago and
undertook to horsewhip Lillian Baer.
Miss Gallagher’s companion.
She came to J vume sever' weeks
ago and announce I to her acquaint
ances her determination to "get" Miss
Gallagher. The girl was warned to
be on her guard.
Perpetrates Vicious Attack
Miss Gallagher and Miss Humphrey!
were eating breakfast in the Hotel
Conner, where most of the Jeromi
teachers take their meals. The ) Top
kins woman entered the dining room
dressed in a long fur coat, and carried
a muff. Several times she passed tlu
table where the girls were sitting and
then entered a small dining room tc
the rear of the main cafe, where slu
emptied a six-ounce bottle of carbolii
acid into a tumbler. Hiding the hottli
behind a radiator, she put the tumb
ler into her muff and approached th
booth where the girls were eating
Seizing Miss Gallagher by the bait
she pushed her head hack and dasliei
the acid into her face. Then she drop
ped the glass and rubbed the acid into
the teacher's face trying to force he:
eyes open. Patrons of the place rush
ed to Miss Gallagher's aid anil it wa
necessary to throw Mrs. Hopkins ti
the floor to restrain her. Miss Gallag
her was rushed to the hospital, twi
blocks away, where prompt medical
aid was available.
Mrs. Hopkins went to her room am
was packing her effects when she was
arrested. A revolver anil cartridge
were found in her possesson.
The news of the attack spread
through the town and public indigna
tion crystallized so rapidly the of
ficers took the woman to Prescott
the Yavapai county scat, to avoid ;
possible attempt at violence. It wa
learned that since Hopkins lost his po
iton with the mining company Mrs
Hopkins had threatened to kill the gen
eral manager and head physician o!
the company.
She Is Highly Esteemed
Miss Gallagher lias the sympathy n!
the entire community, where she i
highly esteemed, the dispatch states.
“Both young women are of the high
est possible character," it says. "Miss
Gallagher is of an especially retiring
disposition and is seldom seen at any
social gathertigs. There was absolute
ly nothing wrong at the dinner party
which provoked the wrath of Mrs.
Hopkins. It was simply a case of four
people from the same town meeting.'
A Native of Yerington
Miss Gallagher was horn and reared
in Yerington, the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Gallagher. She grad
uated from the University of Nevada
with the class of 1017 and shortly
thereafter was appointed as a teacher
in the schools of Jerome, Arizona, tlu
big copper camp of the Southwest.
When Miss Gallagher left Reno she
was accompanied by Miss Elsie Hum
phreys, of Reno, who is also teaching
at Jerome. Miss Humphreys was a wit
ness to the assault. While in the Uni
versity here. Miss Gallagher was
socially popular and her application
to duty inspired the admiration of
student body and faculty. She was a
mcnf cr of the Delta Delta Delta
Sore. ity.
Pi patches received here by her
fatln: indicate that the young lady’s
eyes lit will not be impaired and the
only erious disfigurement will he on
the 1 ek and chest.
Ex cessions of sympathy for the
girl nd indignation against her cvil
mind d assailant are being constantly
recei.ed 'by the family.
FALLON SUGAR FACTORY
WILL START SOON
If the observer wants to see'some
jenuine wheels of industry all that i
needs to be done is to make a trip to
die big Lahontan Valley Sugar Com-!
pany s plant, in the eastern environs j
of ballon, and take note of the tuning
ill) of machinery that is now in active j
progress, says the Fallon Standard.
1 hose industrial wheels are shortly to
onvert many thousands of tons of
)ects from Nevada farms into the best i
quality of sugar. The statement,
"sugar beet growing is shortly to he-1
ome Nevada’s leading branch of agri
ulture," seems a truism at this time.
Every appurtenant of the factory
lias been found to he in excellent con
dition, after a shutdown of four years.
From the boiler room, where 1801'
horsepower is represented, and up to ■
the granulators, every mechanical unit
is lit. This is due to the fact that the
Utah-Nevada Sugar Company, the last
operating concern, left all metal paint
ed and oiled; and rust, a distinct curse
in more humid districts, has been' 1
markedly absent at the sugar factory.
Manager Fred Hinze has a force of
mechanics putting things in shape and ^
work on the reliabil itation of the plant !
will he under way in a short time. This
will he confined to providing modern (
beet unloading facilities, new juice
pumps, motors aggregating 2(K1
horsepower and a general cleaning of 1
the factory interior. An additional I
molasses tank of 5,000 barrels capac
Ity will be erected.
Unfortunately, a certain amount ol
theft occurred during the period of ,
the factory shutdown. A pipe fitting
machine and several feet of leather
belting were among the articles pur- i
loined. Those must he replaced.
Dye From Onion Skins.
To make dye from onion skins, says
The Electrical Experimenter, take the
outer skins from half a dozen onions
(medium sized), and holl In water un- 1
til the color is extracted. This Is a
very sultublc yellow dye.
