A Bright Double Eagle

Is pleasant object to contemplate, par ticulsrly if one happens to be it's pro- prietor. But the hue O: that justly es- teemed coin is not provocative of admI- ration when visible in one's complexion. This indication of biliou6Dess, az well as discomfort in the vicinity of the liver, fur upon the tongue, sick headache. sourness cf the breath, nausea, constipa- ton and dyspepsia are speedily reme- diable with the Dever falling aid of Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters, the finest d. terative, csrminative and corrective in existence. As preventive ard remedy for mslarial complaints it is also thor oughly reliable. They whose sedentary pureuits tend to impair the active dis charge of active digestion and bilious secretion never seek its help in vain. It is a capital appetizer and promoter of nerve quietude.

HAS HE THE SECRET?
Iowa Man Who Claims to Make Gold
 from Base Metal.

When it was announced few days ago that George Lawrence Johnson, q farmer living near Fairfield had dis l covered process allied to the X rays, by which base metal could be trans muted into gold at small cost. people treated the matter as joke. Investig- stion by company at Fairfield which has induced MT. Johnson to talk about his discovery, put different light on the matter.
 It is found that Johnson is a graduate of Columbia college, New York, we'll provided for financially and possessing 8 complete laboratory. After the publication of Prof. Roentgen's discov- cries JoaDson became interested und in company with MT. Minear duplicated some of the easiest experiments. After securing severel pictures they conclud- ed to experiment on the comparative transparency of several metals to the 7 rays. By 3ccldent block of one of the most common metals was placed in the boz in a certain relation to the suods pole of the Crookes tube.
 Mir. Johnson observed that this metal was undergoing change. The surface nearest the tube was covered to 0 depth of one-fOurth of an inch with white powder. Beneath this the metal pres ented en uneven surface of yellowish colOr. More metal was procured and a like result fo lowed. The change must have resulted from its proximity to the aDode or the Crookes tube. Rays of great chemical power must have been thrown on, and MT. Johnson called these "Y" rays.
 Johnson sent block of this metal to friend at Columbia college, John 0. HotchkiSs, ackipg him to determine its nsture- A reply has been received in which preliminary results were given. The yellow metal, Mir. Hotchkiss says, ''is probably gold" The base metal used is secret.
 According to MT. Johnson it IS 6092 per cent gold. and he can decompose pound in three hours at an expense of l215 cents per hour. This means at cost of about 50 cents to produce about Sl53 worth of gold. Steps have been taken to patent the process in this coun- try and abroad. .-Proepector.

A Picnic on the RiIIito Yesterday.

A Picnic on the Rillito Yesterday.
 For sometime past Hon. 0. R. Drake Las been promising his and other chil- dren picnic and yesterday the little ones saw realization ot their dreams. and such picnic it was.

 At the Rillito delightful spot was selected and there among the "grand old oaks and kingly drooL ing elms" a most delightful day was passed. Sey- eral of those present were adopts with the mandolin, guitar and violin and these added to the sweet voices of the ladies contributed greatly to the enjoy ment of the day. Ram bling through the woods, gathering flowers and sporting in the sandy bed of the delig htful stream
 lrded the little folks an endless round
 pleasure.
 The older folks of whom there were
 ny, were as highly delighted with toeir outing as the httie ones. although tho sun, despite the cool umbrageous sL ade, played havoc with the complec- tions of the far danes.
 Enough provisions, substantisls and deliacies, had been taken along to fast week and a magnificent feast was spread to which all did fair and even handed justice. Two freezers of sherbet were made on the ground, in fact there WAS no end to the good things enjoyed. It was four o'clock they reluctantly decided to leave for home and the shades of evening had just commenced to fall when they reach ed Tucson tired, dusty but delighted crowd.
 There were present Mir. aud Mrs. Chss R. Drake and eight children, Mir. and Mrs. Steinfield and four children, MT. and Mrs. Herbert Brown and two children, Mrs. George Cheyney and four children, three children of Mrs. Mans field, MT. and Mrs. Burkhaiter, Misses Fanny Bethune, Ruth Brown.

 All told it wac jolly crowd and jolly picnic.

THE supreme court is the newspaper mans friend. |. has decided that R democrat can't be libeled and has set aside a judgement of the lower court to that end. John O. Dunbar, editor of the Gazette, had been found guilty of publishing, and having caused to b. published. things that were naughty and not nice of his colaborers In the democratic vinyard. A S1000 fine had been jsbbed up sgeInst his treasury and other such odds and ends had been weighed against him. The Tierras Calientes looked cooler and quite pretty in comparison with John when he stood up to be ground down. But like the gooG newspaper man that he IS he hung his stockings on the bar of the supreme court and the early light of May morning revealed missionaries at work and the judgement of the lower court reversed. The result from a newspaper mans point of view is highly commend atory and, John. we join you in a dish of thanks and mug of low bows to the honorable court. May their decisions be ever as just.

THE vote in the house committee oa territories in favor of statehood for Ari- ZonR is even more surprising than the vote week earlier in favor of statehood for New Mexico. 1t is true that Arizo- us is only half as illiterste as New Mex Ico, but, ID spite of that, her percentage of white illiteracy IS three times as great se the average for the rest of the union. More than one adult out of five can neither read nor write, and 0 large part of those possessing the specified degree of education are Mexican in speech, in thought, and ID sentiment. What makes the vote in favor of Arizona mere sur prisIng than the vote in favor of New Mexico is that her population is less than half as great. Upon the basis of population she would be entitled to on- ly one-haif of one representative in the lower house of congress; yet it is propos- ed to give her the eeme number of United States senators as is possessed by the largest states. What is singular about the house committees vote is that the extension of the privilege of state hood to Arizona as we'll as New Mexico received the eupport of represents
 tivee of New York, Pennsylvania and Iowa. As was noted last week, these are the States of Platt,

THE Star complaius end justly toe, of R telegram sent to the associated press from Phoenix, in which the editor of that paper is made to appear Gs prose- bar libel suit. The case, it will be Ie- membered, was tried in the district court of the first judicial district or g change of venue from the third. It was a smooth democratic fight and the novel scene was presented of a democratic journal being prosecuted by democratic officials for defamation of character, but in the prosecution Editor Hughes, then governor, had nothing to do, although the Phoenix press dispatch makes him the prosecuting witness. In this the ex governor has grievance and wheth- CT intentional or not it does do him 8 greet injustice for the reason that be was active in the interests of Dunbar. Further we agree with the STAR that the associated press should be more care ful in the selection of its agents, and pe wish to add not only in Phoenix but also in Tucson. Dispatches have been sent from this city that were def amatory of some of our best citizens and while they did them DO harm they did do harm to the town by making it the home of a vicious and criminal element. The Associated Press is one of the greatest and most responsible news gatherers on earth. They aim to be reliable, but so far as Arizona news are concerned it has often been otherwise. A little more attention to its agents IT the territor would be an all around good.

THE Tucson school census has been completed, by Mir. R. B. Kelley, and discloses gain of I50 children of school age during the census year. The tots number between the ages of ard IS years is ISIS. or these 1922 are between the sges of and IA years. Of the 1918 children S37 are boys boys and 9S1 are girls, 703 attend public schools and 598 private schools. Of the latter 480 attend religious schools. The census discloses the painful fact that there are 5l7 children who do not attend any school. Or the 1918 children in the district 1455 are native born and 363 foreign born. The proportion of caucas- sian children to Mexicaps is, in the estimation of Mir. Kelley, about one to four. fhee are but four colored children three boys and one girl in the district. For school children Tucson is the banner district in the territory, but more school room and more teachers are needed in order to supply the press ing demand.

A DISCOVERY ON THE PARTHE.
 NON.

A meet startling discovery, says liar per's Weekly, was msde this winter by Mir. Andrews, member of the Ameri- can Archaeological School here. For many years arch@ologists have puzzled
 over the holes which run along the architrave above the pillars on the east end of the Partheuop. They were eVl- dently holes to fasten the broEze letters of some inscription, but no one has ever succeeded in making a close study of these holes, and thus restoring the in- scription. Mir. Andrews, with true American pluck and daring, climbed up ladders applied to the front of the tenn pie, and in wind and storm, under the greatest difficulties, he managed to make paper squeezes of these holes and their exsc. distances from one another, and su has restored great part of the in- ecription. It now tells us that The Council of the AreopRgus, the Council of the Six Hundred, ard the People of the AtheniaDs dedicate this to Nero, Augustus, Ciaudius, Son of God, under the office of Novius ss GymEaeisrd and under the priestess-ship Of" It was no doubt sn act of lattepg to Nero dur ing his soiourn at Athens (64 a. d. ), and is in the form commemorating some vic- tory. Most probably it refers to Nero's performance as sn actor in the theatre of Diouysos at Athens, which we hear of from other sources. Mir. Andrews, his teachers, Professors Wheeler and Rich ardson, and the whole American School are to be congratulated on a piece Of work which has evoked the applause of the foreign and local srch8ologists here.

THE ssRUMP'' COUNCIL.
That is What the Potwinians Say the
Auburndalians Have.

The Tate unpleasantness between
Auburndale and Potwin did not end
with the election, it seems.
The POtwinianss charge that the
Auburndalians have declared their in
dependence anyway and will do their
own improving.
A Potwin man told q Journal reporter
today that he had it on good authority
that the late AuburndaIe ticket with
W A. Myers as mayor held a ''rump"
council meeting behind nailed doors the
other night and declared itself elected
to run the affairs of Auburndale.
The Auburndalians were very much
opposed to the recent purchase of "A
fire extinguishers at cost of $3.50.
One said; Il can put out a FIRE quick
er with salt and water"
The extinguishers were distributed
on Saturday and on Sunday night
there was a small fire in a house in the
edge of Auburndale.
The salt and water man got out his
buckets and spent a good deal of ener-
gy and salt to no purpose.
And then" said the Potwinian, they
got out two of our extinguishers and
put the fire out in just q jiffy."
The Auburndalians deny all this in
severalty and one said today:
That's all wrong about US having a
trump council. The POtWin man that
told you that is crazy"
Meantime Auburndale is making it
warm for their neighbOrs on the hill,
while the POtwinians take pains to
keep up their lick for the people in the
woods
