‘WIDE open; is NEVADA’S GOAL IN NEW LAWS Liberal Policy Keeps Down Crime Figures, Say State Heads. by United Pre t* RENO, Feb. 20.—Nevada, proud of being known as “the last frontier p ate" In the Union, is considering tc&jbXMuXTiiii *ould make the laws ci the state even more liberal than they are at the. present time. Nevadans aio probably the leastregulated persons in the country. Reno considers itself one of the most wide-ooen cities, and officials claim it has less crime than any city four times its size. The state prison is on? of the smallest in the nation and the state's crime problem is nil. Gambling Stopped Gambling is illegal, but has been practiced openly, with full knowledge of officials and citizens, until a district attorney in an eastern Nevada city, Ely. swooped down upon the city and closed ail gambling casinos. City officials announced this action costs Ely approximately $lO,000 per year. The legislature is now considering a measure which would legalize gambling, making a gambling debt legal, imposing licenses upon operators to keep out dishonest gambling men. Gambling, and felonies recognized bs crimes in any language, are the only activities prohibited by law, Justice Is Swift Justice is; swift and sure in Nevada More often than not, if a person is arrested for a crime, he is arraigned, brought before the court and jury, and if found guilty, sentenced and s,ent on his way to the state penitentiary, all in one day. .There is only one stop-and-go traffic signal in the entire state. There is no enforced speed limit to travel on the open highway. •The state highway patrol consists of one man most, of the time. Cities have their restricted redlight districts. There is no such thing as a motor vehicle operator’s license. There is no state prohibition law. The legislature also is considering bills which will make divorce easier than it is now and simplifying court procedure.*

TALKIE STARS FIND QUICK WAY TO GET RID OF A COLD

Doctors Advise Method Popular Here to Relieve Head Gilds, Coughs and Chest Cold? A tempting taste! Surprisingly quick relief! This, briefly, is the new experience of scores of talkie stars like Betty Compson, Robert Montgomery, Alice White, Alec Francis and Marion Nixon. They And that a pleasant tasting spoonful of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral brings almost immediate relief. Glenn Tryon, for example, caught a severe cold while motoring at night in an open car. Realizing the danger of neglecting a cold, Mr. Tryon remembered the advice of physicians and started taking a pleasant spoonful of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral every 15 minutes. In just a few hours, his nose, throat and chest had cleared up. In a day or so, his cold was completely gone. In Indianapolis homes, as in Hollywood, Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral is the first thought for colds. Ayer’s Pectoral is superior to salves, liquids, etc., which cause one to perspire freely. These remedies give temporary relief but open up the pores and thus risk pneumonia. Many doctors and drug-

REPTILES' NEW HOME IN ZOO IS FINEST YET Soon They’ll Move Into Separate, Heated Apartments. £“ Science Service WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—The toads and snakes and other creeping and hopping inhabitants of the National Zoological park here are moving into anew home with all the modern comforts enjoyed by human beings, including separate elctrical heating of each apartment. The new reptile house of the park, which will be thrown open to the public on Saturday, Feb. 28, has a considerable number of its smaller glass-fronted cages individually warmed by automatically regulated electric heating units. Thus val-

GLENN TRYON Starring: in “Dames Ahoy,” “King: of Jan” and “Midnight Special” gists strongly advice Ayer’s Pectoral because it does not open up the pores. It can be taken with absolute safety —even if one has to be outdoors.

uable but temperamental reptiles and amphibians that prefer a temperature of 70 degrees can have it, while in the next cage equally exacting creatures from the tropics can have 85 or 90 degrees if that will induce them to “look pretty" for the public. In a number of other cages shower baths have been installed. This has not been done because the reptiles like to be raided on, but becaus? they feel their best and look their best in a damp, heavy atmosphere like that of a tropical swamp. Still other cages will be kept warm but arid, for the greater happiness of desert lizards and rattlers. The climatic preferences of £ diamondback from Arizona are quite different from those of his zoological brother from Florida, and for purposes of ready comparison by zoo visitors the rattlesnake cages all have been arranged side by side. In addition to adjusting temperature and moisture to the in-

dividual needs so the fascinating scaly inhabitants, the zoological park authorities are building close reproductions of the actual habitat surroundings out of stones, logs and moss. One cage which has been finished is so good a picture of a nook in a District of Columbia ravine that Director William M. Mann declares, “When my local rattlers and copperheads are turned into this they’ll tell each other, ‘by golly, we've escaped at last.’” In caring for the comfort of the animals on exhibition, the comfort of the crowds who will look at them has not been forgotten. The heating and ventilating system for the spectators’ corridors is entirely separate from that of the cages. The visitor will be able to stand In the temperate zone and look through a plate gQass window into the tropics or the desert. _ Many rare reptiles have been collected for the exhibits, and-more are on the way. Those now on hand

include several species of the mpst deadly snakes In the world. There is a king cobra, largest of that very venomous family. With him is a spitting cobra, which jets its poison into the eyes of any person or animal that annoys him, causing great pain and temporary blindness. There are three extremely poisonous African snakes: the sand viper, the Gaboon viper and the rhinoceros viper.
