Heavy Money.

How to keep your money safe from
thieves is a problem that was solved
by the inhabitants of Jap, In he Caro-
line islands. when they devised "A cur
rency too heavy for burglars to carry
away. The money used by the natives
is in the form of huge wheels of stone.
weighing as much as o pounds and
roughly shaped in the form of II grind
stone. A large hole in the center is a
feature of the Jap money. even the
clam shell pennies are perforated. The
stones are used for large purchases
only. If an islander becomes wealthy
enough to purchase n pig he must part
with n 500 pound circular stone, but If
he is required tC deliver it for any dis
lance the pork is well earned -Ameri-

One of his dainty lyrics is entitled

Let us be thankful that we're just

School Strikes In Japan.

School strikes seem peculiar to ia
pan. and invariably one is under way.
Such a strike is a calamity dreaded
by head master and undermaster alike.
A head master who has had a strike
in his school Is under suspicion. even
though he may be quite innocent of
any unjust conduct, and eventually he
must seek "a new field for his activities,
so unpleasant do the students make
his continued stay. When students
combine against one of the undermas
tiers he has nothing to do but tender
his resignation. If the strike Is tenn
porarily Gained down it Is tacitly UNI
derstood that the master in question
Is on the lookout for a new place.
Sometimes strikes take place for the
retention of the teacher rather than
for his dismissal. In this latter case
1t Is always the head master who
suffers the most. as the move is direct
ed against him for not retaining some
favOrite.

Good journalism.

There are many stories of the jour
n%alistic genius of the blind Joseph Pu-
liter. One cropped up the other day.
There was a big championship golf
tournament to be played a golfer
said. This was years ago, before Mr..
Pulitzer went blind. Golf at that time
was I'm its infancy In this country.
well, Mr.. Pulitzer sen for his
dozen best reporters and special writer's
and. lining them up before him, said:
Those who understand golf stand
on the left. those who are ignorant of
it. on the right.
THE stars separated themselves &C
cordingly. All understood golf but
three-three very excellent writers.
"'You three chaps will cover the
tournament said Mr.. Pulitzer, with
his nervous smile. i want all u
readers to enjoy our story of this
event, and. since most of them are
ignorant of golf. what interests you
three will be sure to interest them

BALFOUR AND OTHER BRITISH
ENJOYS CONFER WITH
AMERICANS

WASHINGTON, May 2. The
foundation for an international ship
ping agreement among the nations
lighting Germany was laid at the
first formal conference of the Brit
ish var commission with American
government officials.
Within a few days the allies will
put before this government a deli
mite program of their needs In the

portioning American ships and car
goes. Already the shipping board,
without awaiting a final arrange
ment, has put at the disposal of
France and Italy two of the German
ships seized in American ports.
Attending the conference for the
British were Foreign Secretary Bal

secretary, and Sir Richard Crawford,
commercial attache of the British

DEVELOPING IRON
CANYON PLACERS
CONSTRUCTED TO Sc
CURE WATER

A two-mile pipe line has just been
completed into Iron canyon a
branch of Galena canyon, to convey
water for the MISREPRESENTATION
placers.
The operators have about 1000
feet of good placer ground in Iron
canyon, which, after thorough pros
pecting Mr.. Christensen estimates
will yield so cents per yard in gold.
Machinery has been installed that
will handle $50 on of gravel daily.
The equipment consists of a ID
horsepower gasoline engine, which
will operate a dragline scraper that
will carry three fourths of a ton
al a load. The scraper load is hoist
ed to a screen which allows the
fine gravel to pass through to the
sluice boxes, while the rocks and
big pebbles r taken away to one
side by a G%onveyor belt.
Placer ground two miles further
up Galena canyon will also soon be
the scene of operations. The pro-
perty is owned by Mr.. Christensen,
w. F. Collins and Gus Lemaire.

Juvenile Firebug

Three promising fires within "a
hours would be considered a fair
record for a full-grown incendiary.
For a boy of 10 years it is an
achievement. Yet that is what one
youngster accomplished in Reno.
His first attempt was a fire in a
garage. The boy was suspected
and when a fire was later discover
ed in the same place he was placed
in the hands of the police. The pro-
baton officer asked that the boy be
held until he could come for him.
When the probation officer arrived
at the city hall, in the basement of
which the youthful incendiary had
been placed, he found everyone in
the building fighting a stubborn fire
that the boy had started in blankets
that were stored in the basement.
The blaze was extinguished after
considerable damage had been done.
