BIG TUNGSTEN BELT FOUND
Prospecting Following First Develop
ment in California Shows Deposits
Cover Strip Fifteen Miles Long.

The development in recent months
discovered in Cal" "ornia in 1918, has
greatly stimulated prospecting and
tungsten has been found in a belt Is
miles long. One of Uncle Sans ex-
perts, who has visited the field, has
found that the ore bodies have some
remarkable characteristics.
The deposits are eight miles west
of Bishop, Inyo county, California On
April z, 1915, the Standard Tungsten
company began work. Trails and roads
were built, ore bodies were opened up,
mill was erected, and electric power
was brought in. On June 7fthe mill
began to crush ore. The Tungsten
Mines company started work on May
4, and by the latter part of July had
completed a mill of 300 tons daily
capacity, and was rapidly opening its
main ore body, disclosing lode as
much as go feet wide.
The ore bodies, it is found by the
geological survey, are of a kind not
mentioned by the recognized author
tiles on ore deposits as a commercial
source of tungsten. The ore consists
of scheelite associated mainly with
garnet, epidote and quartz. The gen
eral country rock is granite, but in il
are scattered masses of limestone
which became mineralized at the time
when the granite cooled from molter
cond'tion. The limestones were al
tered to masses of garnet carrying
subordinate scheelite by the metalli,
vapors then given off. and these arr

HAVE YOU PICKED A LEMoN7
English Writer Not Altogether compli-
mentary in His Remarks on Mar
ital Happiness.

Arnold Bennett, the famous English
novelist. talks about how men feel
when they are engaged or married.
They realize that they have. married
human beings Instead of divine god
desses. Bennett says:
The process of reasoning is not sci-
entificl and inevitably it must bring
disillusion. which means complica-
tions. The disiliusion is precipitated
by the universal instinct to overesti-
mate that which one desires and to
underestimate that which one has got.
See the young husband as he watches
his newly acquired wife enter a
friends drawing room. His anxiety
which he often inadequately coneeals.
is touching. Aforetime. the entrance
of that same young woman into a
drawing room never caused him the
slightest apprehension. On the con-
trary, it flied him with delight and
Thanksgiving. Then, her imperfec-
finnsi if she had any, somehow consti-
tuted a perfection. If she was taci-
turn, her silences were beautifully ex-
kpressive. If she gabbled, the st-eam
of chatter was delicious. If she was
awkward. a secret grace was in her
awkwardness. But now that he has
got her. the VAN fellow is intensely
afraid lest she may fail to prove to the
world the excellence of his taste. -

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root. Dr.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overcomes Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have mere attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable. degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sista- when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust OF sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid

TOBACCO OUTPUT HUGE
Annual Value of Products Passes
Half Billion Mark.
Uncle Sans Cersus Figures Show
Gain of 17.6 Per Cent in Five Years
Capital of Sso3, $4,000 In
vested.

The United States is manufacturing
approximately half a billion dollars
worth of cigars, cigarettes, chewing
and smoking tobacco and snuff every
year, according to figures compiled by
Uncle Sam. The value of the tobacco
products of the country in 1914, accord
ing to census figures just made public,
amounted to $49G, 900, and as the
output increased 17.6 per cent in the
fve-year period between 1909 and 1914,
it may be assumed that it will be con-
siderably above the half-billion dollar
mark for the present year.
There was in 1914 $303, $4,000 capi-
tai invested in the industry, which gave
employment to 210,S94 persons.
While there were big increases in the
number of persons employed in the in
dustry and the value of the output,
there was a decrease of l1.6 per cent
in the number of establishments en-
gagged in the manufacture of tobacco
products, and the number of proprie-
tors and firms engaged in the business
decreased 1873 per cent. The number
| of saIaried employees increased 27.5
per cent and the number of wage
earners in the industry increased ~
per cent.

UNCLE SAM HAS REMOVED
GREAT AVIATION HAZARD
Governments Experts Have EIiminat-
ed Danger of Bursting Propei-
lers, 1t Is Announced.

Uncle Sans experts have succeeded
in removing one of the paramount
hazards in aviation, it is announced.
The bursting of aerial propellers has
been the source of large part of
aviation accidents and the danger of
this has now been eliminated, it is
said.
Under the new S13,000,O00 congress
sional appropriation, the foremost
minds of the land are now combining
to make aeroplanes as nearly perfect
as can be done and to place this coun-
try's air fleets on a footing with those
of European nations.
The executive committee Of the
newly-appointed advisory committee
for aeronautics is in charge of the ex-
perimentation. This committee con-
suits with the best engineering talent
the country provides, as well as with
experts from the bureau of standards.
The chairman is DR.. s. w. STRAIT

SMALL PART OF COST
No Burden in Free Text Books,
Says Uncle Sam.
Exaggerated Ideas Prevail, 1t Is De-
elared, as TO Amount Spest for
This Part of School Equipment
in the United States.

Uncle Sam does not believe that the
Introduction of free text books in the
schools would add greatly to the cost
cf the public school system or increase
the rate of taxation for school pur-
poses to any extent. He cites figures
to show that the cost of text books is
a relatively small item in the total
expenditure for school purposes.
Officials of the United States bureau
of education declare that exaggerated
ideas prevail concerning the total
number Of text books sold in the Uni
ted States each year. It is said that
confidential data obtained by. the
bureau from so textbook publishers
who handle 80 per cent of the total
textbook sales of the country, show
that their aggregate sales annually
of text books for use in public schools
elementary and high, aggregate about
$15,O0OOO0.
According to figures which have
been compiled by experts of the bu
reau, the total enrolment in public
elementary and high schools amounts
to. about 1S,50a,OoO. Excluding the
elementary school enrolment of Cali
fornia, since California prints its owl
elementary books, the number become:
1S,250,000. For each child enrolled il
the public schools in the United
/ States, therefore, the total annual salt
! of text books is about so cents. 1
has been figured that the total expendi
/ ture per child for all school purpose:
/ Is approximately 1881. The cost O
text books is therefore approximate.
/ 2 per cent of the total cost of main
tenance, support and equipment Th'
cost per child on the school popula
ton basis-ive to eighteen years o
age-according to officials of the bu
reau, is 56.6 cents: the annual pc
capita cost of text books on the tota
population basis is less than 15 cents

UNCLE SAM TO BUILD SHIPS

Uncle Sam is now ready to become

used as naval auxiliaries in war. The
government will subscribe to the con-

tary being authorized to sell Panama
canal bonds up to $50,000,000 to raise
the money. After five years the ships
are to be disposed OF to private owners.

Shorteninu Bird Season.

Pennsylvania is the latest of the
states to take up the question of short
er open seasons on game birds, and
good reasons for curbing the activities
of hunters are presented in a statement
of the game commission now being sent
to individuals and sporting associa-
TONS
Birds are being eXterminated under
the present laws, and the remedy pro-
posed is IN restricting the season to
one month and changing the date until
the birds are full-grown and better
able to take care of themselves.
What particular hardship would
there be in ordering a close season for
two, three or five years and then seeing
that the law is rigidly enforced? Quail
and other game birds need more pro-
lection than the existing laws have
given them, and if all the states would
agree upon an adequate program OF
conservation the country would be
benefited by the saving of the food
products now destroyed by insects
