WOMAN INVENTOR |S EAGERLY
 SOUGHT
Mrs. Carrie Everson "Mother of Flo
 tation" Has Fortune Awaiting Her.

If Mrs Carrie J. Everson is liv- passed away, a niche in the mining hall of fame will symbolize her mem ory for all time.
 This woman is affectionately known throughout the mineral world as the Mother of F1otation," and a movement has been inaugurated by the Colorado Science Society to as- certain where she is. Many mining men of this section have been advised of the earnest desire to locate her, that either she or those of kindred blood may be the beneficiary of huge sum of money to be contributed voluntarily by those operators who have prospered through her wonder full invention.
 For several months the Colorado institution has been quietly carrying on a search for Mrs. Everson, and it being learned that she was known to have visited the Bradshaw mountain mines over a quarter of century ago, with her father, leads to follow ing the thread of where she had been or whither she was going when last heard of in. this vicinity. Important facts regarding her career in Denver have been brought to light, and it is believed that very soon the mystery of the woman scientist will be clear ed away. She is known to have left Denver over thirty years ago with patents which were to make millions for other people, but were to bring her nothing.
 Wash Tub Discovery.
 In all the romantic history of min ing in the West, there is nothing more fascinating or interesting than that of the Denver nurse who while wash ing greasy ore sacks in a tub at her brothers assay office, discovered the affinity of oil for gold and was clever enough to get out patents on her dis covery. Mining men, astounded at the results wrought through the tardy

application of Mrs. Everson's won- derful discovery, rank her with Madame Curie of radium fame, as a scientist. Through Mrs. Everson's invention the small mining operator throughout the West faces new era, and operators are astounded at what is being accomplished through fiota- tion. Results are being secured which the theorists have declared i'm possible, and students of metallurgi- cal problems are bending every eff fort to find out more of the possi- bilities of the process which has giv- en new aspect to gold mining every where.
 Litigation Ensues.
 With the disappearance of Mrs. Everson from her field of labor, and her whereabouts unknown. legal com plications have arisen that are being threshed out in the supreme court of the United States owing to Mrs. Everson's patents expiring several years ago. When the fiotation pro- cess was taken up and applied in this country in recent years the Minerals Separation Company, of London, Eng land, brought suit against Montana mining syndicate for alleged infringe ments of patents. Two courts have disagreed, one finding for and the oth- CT against the plaintiffs. It was con- tended by the plaintiffs that the Ever son patents did not tell specifically how much oil to use in Notation, while the Mineral Separation Co.,, specified exactly the amount to use. The court decided that the only difference was in point of degree and that any user would naturally use as little oil as possible. The case has been taken to the United States Supreme court, where it now rests. Mining men all over the world are deeply interested in the outcome. It is the claim that the Egerson patents form the real basis of the, process, and these patents having expired, make the discovery public property. Many variations of the process are being used, but min ing men agree that Mrs. Everson dis covered the three basic principles the use of oil, acid and air in con- bination.

Accuracy in Newspapers.

Professor Hugo Munsterberg is & professor of psychology at Harvard. His head is filled with ideas, and he knows many things. But some things he doesn't know. For instance, he has been taking a fling recently at newspaper reporters, who, he says habitually distort what men say and do, and the professors experience has been with the metropolitan newspaper. On these newspapers vast quantity of news must be gathered in an extra ordinarily short time. Accuracy is aimed at and attained to a remarkable degree. But the metropolitan press is but very small part of the coun- try's press. Professor Munsterberg is provincial, like many other dwellers in Eastern cities. In the small towns the people are close to their newspaper. Frequently the editor knows every body in the country. Accuracy be- comes deadly necessity. No reporter or editor who is worthy the name dares say he does not care whether what he [ writes is true or not. His profession and his pride in it demand that he gives to it the best he has in him. Accuracy, attention to detail, truth are only some of the things he must give to his paper. Professor Munsterberg may be a great psychologist, but he will never be a great man until he learns that outside of Harvard, Boston and New York there is a great country filled with newspapers and newspaper men, and that in the lot the venal, the deliber- ately untruthful, the mountebank are as scarce as exactitude is in psychology.

Two Golden Days.

There are two days of the week upon which and about which never worry, two care-free days kept sWcredly free from fear and apprehension.
 One of these is Yesterday. Yester- day with all its cares and trets, with all its pains and aches. all ils faults, its mistakes and blunders, has passed beyond the reach of my recall. I can. not undo an act that wrougln. can not unRxy n word that I said Jn Sester- day. All that it holds of life of regret and sorrow, is in the nHnd of the Mighty Love that can bring sweet waters ont of the bitterest desert-the love that eau make the wrong things right that can turn weepfng into laughter, that can give beauty for ashes. the argument of praise for the spirib of heaviness, joy of the morning for tla' woe of night.
 Save for the beautiful memcyirs that finger, sweet aud tender like the per. fume of nses. in the heart of ehe day that is goI.e l have nothing to do with yesterday
 AnG the other day do nGs worry about is Tomorrow. Tomorrow, with all its possible adversities it's burdens, its parils, its large promises and poor performance, its failures and nistakeF, IS as far beyond the reach of my mas- tery as' it's dead sister-yesterday Its sun will rise in roseate splendor, or be- yond a mask of weeping clouds. But it will rise. Until then the same love and patience that held yesterday, and liolds. tomorrow, shines with tender promise into the heart of today. I have no possession in that unborn day of grace All else is in the infinite keeping of that Infinite Love that holds for me the treasure of yesterday, the love that is higher than the stars, wider than the sky, deeper than the seas.
 There is left for myself, then, but ons day of the week--today, Any man can fight the battles of today. Any woman can carry the burdens of just one day.-Robert J. Burdette.

SWAT E M NOW.

Now is the time to swat the fly. Some valuable information and instruc- lions are given by the Committee on Pollution and Sewerage of the Mer- chants Association of New York. in a circular which is being widely distrib- nted. Some of the extracts from this circular are as follows:
 "At the first approach of cold weather, the flies seek warmth and protection in houses and stables. From cellar to garret, they hide in hooks and corners. Keep them out. If any succeed in getting in, kill them. Swat every one tbat shows itself, and be sure to burn their bodies.
 ssDon't trust the cold to kill them Don't assume that they are dead when you find them lying on floors or window sifls in unused rooms. They are play ing possum' and will revive when the temperature rises.
 "Clean up the house and give special attention to every out-of the. way place where flies may Turk. Make sure that there is nothing left which may harbol their eggs.

Duck WItted.

A lecturer who protested against people going to sleep during his dis quisitions on heathen lands, would, if he perceived any tendency in that direction, introduce some queer or startling statement to revive their flag ging attention. On one occasion, when his audience seemed rath CT somnolent, he thundered out: "Ah, you have no idea of the suffering of Englishmen in Central America, on account of the enormous mosquitoes. A great many of these pests would weigh pound, and they will get on the logs and bark as the white men are passing"
 By this time all ears and eyes were wide open, and he proceeded to finish his lecture. The next day he was called upon to account for his extra ordinary statements. But I didn't say one mosquito would weigh a pound," he protested; "1 said great many of them would. I think perhaps a million of them might do so." "But you said they bark at the missionaries, " persisted his interlocutor. "No, no, my dear sir; said they would get on the logs and on the bark. You misun- derstood me"

Letters From the People
Real Prohibition
To the Editor of The News:

To the Editor of The News:
 l learn that ill the state of Iowa all saloons will go out of business January 1, 1916. Not only that, but all wet goods are to be shipped out of the state and the attorney general says he will do everything ill his power to see that Iowa gets prohibition in fact as well as technically, and would make every effort to see that the law was enforced
 That is real prohibition not pretence. In Minnesota two thirds of the coun- ties voted out the saloons, hut what does that amount to when the other counties are allowed to sell .? It is easy to step across county lines, and long as Uncle SaEl acquires such gu enormous revenue from the manufac- ture and sale of beer, whiskey and all distilled liquors it will be a hard proposition to effect. Only when it becomes a national issue "nd wins out can we expect real prohibition; but I believe the time is coming when the whole world will put the kibosh on the manufacture and sale of rum It must have been a conception of the devil in the beginning of things for the down. fall of man.
