"ANrERICANs MILLIONAIRE"

The habit of English newspapers of dubbing every American who, for any reason worth or otherwise is con sidered worth headlines, An Ameri- can Millionaire" has at last aroused a protest from Americans living in England.
 The habit was never better exemplie fled than in a, recent case of the disap- pearance in London of an American visitor. Every paper in London and most of those in the country came out with big headlines, in every one of which the words "American'' and t'NIi1liof1aire'' were conspicuous. News agencies are constantly sending out stories of the adventures of American MiIlionaires'' who, upon investigation, prove to be some one whose name is not known outside his own home town, and who had in all proba bility saved for years the few dollars that enabled him to come over to England.
 This habit of the English has its in- conveniences for Americans travelling or living in the country. There are always two prices at the hotels and other places for the rich American and the touring Englishman. This is what aroused the protest of an. American living in the country. He prayed the papers to stop it. saying he found his cost of living very much greater than his English neighbor.
 The man who has the greatest lErievancs. however is an Englishrnan

BIG INCREASE IN
 -- AUTOS IN TEXAS
STATE STANDS THIRD IN
 INCREASED REGISTRATION.
New Automobile Legislation Is Indi- Cated. Dallas Passes New Warm
 ing Signal Ordinance.

That ten thousand automobiles were registered in Texas last year and that efae increased use of the automobile in that State is so great as to neces- sitate new legislation, are points sub -nitted in support of a bill about to he presented to the State Legislature
 The increase in registration over 1911 is 65 per cent. which gives Texas third rank among the States in point of in- creased registra ton. West Virginia and Maine leading with 145 per cent and 147 per cent respectively
 The new bill will call for State reg istrationA Registration is now by counties with the result that reports are made scatteringly and some so late that definite knowledge can La obtained as any time of thA actual number of cars in use.
 The need of better legislation has also been felt by the larger cities where. the increase in the number of automobiles has been much greater
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-05-10

than in the country districts Dallas for instance, shows an increase of over 100 per cent. within 2. year.
 Automobile accidents increased to such an extent in Dallas that the city council after an investigation passed a new warning signal ordinance as the most effective means of prevention. The ordinance provides for the use of an automobile warning signal with an abrupt note, sufficiently loud to be heard under all conditions of traffic; i; and the measure further stipulates that 1t shall be unlawful to use such signals except when necessary to sound a warning of danger.
 In enacting this ordinance Dallas following the lead of Houston, Texas.
 Measures to the same effect are also in force in Chicago, Cincinnati, New ark, Jersey city. Sioux City, St. Louis, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Diego, Mem phis, Louisville, Atlanta, Denver, St. Paul, Philadelphia, Des Moines, Du- buQue and Portland.

ROMANCE OF THE MINES.

The recent sale of a controlling in terest in the Mount Morgan Gold Mines, of Queensland, to an English and Australian syndicate for some $6,- O0O 0OO, recalls one of the great TO- mances of mining in Australasia.
 The Morgan mines, named after two brothers who, although not the actual discoverers, were the first to realize the value of ths property, have made immense fortunes for those lucky enough to get an interest in the be- ginning of development. Walter Ha1l son of one of the promoters, who ob- tained his interest by financing the To- cators, died two years ago and left a fortune of S12, 900, 900, and his widow last May gave S5,OO0 GOO for educational and charitable work in Australia.
 The original Hall, Thomas, was manager of the Queensland National Bank when he obtained his interest in the Morgan mines. The Morgans themselves made large fortunes, but the man who took them to the prop erty. and Donald Gordon, the original owner, received virtually nothng- Gordon grazed his sheep over his acres, never dreaming of the wealth that lay beneath. His brother Sandy who visited him. was. the first to get an inkling of the value of the DIE rnetaIlic-Iooking bsulders, and when the attempt to raise sheep had failed he took the Morgan brothers to the spot. They took away specimens which assayed so high that the reports seemed incredible The Gordon brothers were kept in the dark as to the value of their property, and Don aid readily sold for $3, 200. Thomas Hall and others were taken in, the Morgans retaining a half interest.
 The riches of the mine became a bvword. Some of the quartz produc- ed as much as 800 ounces of the finest gold to the ton, and when $5,0oO,O00 was distributed in dividends the shares went up to $85. The bold bear ing ore was finally exha austed, but in 1906 the mize was reborn as a sopper producer and today both copper and gold are being taken out.
