the statement issued by the Crawford

of the Chronicle. The total of bust

This is statement of which the bank

WITH THE THINKERS

DIR. DAVID H. KRESS.-Work that
is cheerfully performed is one of the
best safeguards against mental and
physical decay. The longest lived and
healthiest are to be found. not among
those whose hardest work consists in
lodging hard work. but among those
who put heart and soul into all they
do Work was once a pleasure. 1t Is
now considered mere drudgery. To get
the greatest good out OF work 1t should
be done with cheerfulness. A young
man complained of his country not
being able to- provide work for It's
people. A friend said: "If you will
come with me, will procure you work
in two hours" The young man replied /;
1T is not work l am after, 1t is mon.
ey." He stated fact. Money is what
men are after. not work.
w. S. PERSHING.-The eastern man
who comes out to Colorado and looks
over the plains region wonders II any
of the land is good for anything, and
il he would dare loan IS an acre on it,
The truth is that 1t is cultivated
in a workman-like manner 1t is the
most productive soil in the world. II
one-fourth of the money spent on the
Henry Ford peace expedition had been
used to back up some good farmers in
developing the cheap lands of the
west and used the products to feed
the starving victims of the cruel war
the doner would have received end
less praise in America and Europe al
so. Some noble philanthropic woman
may yet have to take the lead in the
work Of developing the cheap western
land to the starving nations; the men
are too busy in politics.

indianapolis Ablaze as Candidate Hughes
Arrives

indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 25.-lndianap-
oils put on a red and yellow dress OF tre
Saturday night to welcome Charles ~
Hughes.
His special rolled into the station halt
an hour ahead of scheduled time, and the
celebration upon which Republicans here
have spent days of preparation was on.
They met him with a bedlam OF cheers,
wells, factory whistles and automobile
sirens. They lighted their fireworks and
plastered patch of flaming red on the
Indiana sky.
They stood by the tens OF thousands IN
the streets and cheered him along the
way. Most of the time they could not
see him through the smoke, but they
knew he was there, with Charles w. Far
banks, his running mate, in one OF the
first automobiles, and they shot up more
rockets and burned more fire and made
more smoke and cheered some more.
Scores of -bedecked automobiles
swung into line behind the nominees car
for the parade through the city to Tom
linson hall. Behind the cars came thou
sands of torch bearing marchers.
Republican leaders who staged the big
demonstration said that the line extepd-
ed for more than two miles. Long after
the nominee had started to speak, the
marchers were still weaving their way
through the streets.

Clay Mining Industry Affected by Eu'
ropesn War.

According to the United States geo
logical survey, department of the in
rior. the war in Europe has caused a
shortage in gh-grade fire clay formerly
imported from Germany which has Sc
riously affected the manufacture of cru
cibles and lead pencils in this country.
Efforts have been successful, however,
in locating domestic supply of clays
suitable for use in these industries in
Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri, and Ohio.
Clay mining in 1915 was more pros
porous, especially during the later part
of the year. than in 1914. the quantity
of clay marketed being 1852 ,954 short
tons. valued at s3.97l. GAL. an increase
of l5S,094 tons in quantity and S2l5,373
in value over 1914. Fire clay j. the most

t7ns OF domestic kaolin, the purest form
Of clay. marketed in 1915, valued at
S24I $50. a small decrease from 1914.
The imports Of clay decreased consid-
erablv in quantity and value and were
the smallest in quantity since 1905 and
the lowest in value since 1895.

REPORT ON CENTRAL ALASKA.
Corna- Nowitna Region Explored by Unit
ed States Geological Survey.

In central Alaska south OF the Yukon
river there is large area which prior to
1915 was practically unknown. In the
summer of 1915 a small United States
geological survey party lii charge OF h.
NJ Eakin made rapid exploration from
Tanana river at Como to the head wat
ers OF Nowitna river and thence down
the Nowitna TO the Yukon. a prelimi-
nary statement of the important geologic
and topographic observations made on
that expedition has recently been pub
lished BY the United States geological
survey. department of the interior, as
part OF bulletin 642, entitled "Explora-
ton in the Gonna Nowitna Region"
Much time has been spent by few
pros pectors in a search for placer gold
on Nowitna river but so far as is known
the occurrence of commercial placers in
that region has not been demonstrated
In much of the region prospecting is be
set with considerable difficulty, owing to
the great depths and breadth of the al
luyial filing in the larger valleys. Al
though no lodes have yet been discov-
cred the evidence available seems to sug
gest that the gold in the bedrock WAS
probably introduced as result of the
igneous activities that produced the nom
zonites and GRANTEES, so that gold is most
likely to be found near these intrusive
masses. The map accompanying this re-
port indicates the distribution of these
intrusive rocks asSwell as OF the other
geologic forma tions.

Genesis Of the PLAYHOUSE.

Thespis in $50 B. c. acted his plays
In a wagon. In 400 B. c., during the
time of Aeschylus, creator Of drama,
the performances took place upon tenn
porary wooden scaffolds. one of which,
having collapsed during a representa-
ton, the Athenians were induced TO
build the great theater of Dionysius,
calling ii the Lenalon, which was the
first permanent stone structure OF its
kind. 1t required 100 years TO erect it,
There was no scenery, but the scene
was decorated so as to represent the
locality in which the action was going
on. Roohess was his structure, but
around the building were porticoes, to
which the people retreated during rain
storms. Sometimes awnings were used
TO ward off the suns heat.

September.

Purple and gold are the colors
September weaves for crown,
Der meadows where windeth the river
Slipping seward adown.
By roadsdes unshaded and dusty
An cooling haunts of the brook,
Or in aisles of the shadowy forest
Where ferns have their fsvorite nook.
Der hillsides lonely and barren,
By rocks which like sentinels stand,
A wonder of beauty she weaveth
At the magical touch of her wand
We pluck of her gold and her puppies,
And yet she is never uncrowned;
For close are the gems in her chaplet,
And richly everywhere found.

Things That Count in Dress.

There was a time when it was far
more difficult to look smartly dressed
than it is to-day. That was the time
when we wore separate belts, when there
was dress braid on our skirts, when we
wore separate neckwear. We had to be
careful that the braid on our skirts didn't
become ripped to hang in loops OF un-
tidiness. We had to see to it that the
belt of our skirt didn't sag. We had to
see to it that the leather belt we wore
exactly conceded with the skirt belt We
had to see to it that the ribbon or mus
lin collar we wore exactly made con
nections with the blouse beneath it. Yes,
those were, indeed. difficult days.
To-day neatness counts as much as
ever but there are not so many pitfalls
for the woman who would be neat.
Neatness of footgear counts more than
ever before The shoes must be spotless,
well polished and in good repair. Heels
that slant are an outrage in good dress
ing; moreover, they are decidedly un-
healthful.
