GIANT SLUICEBOX
 NETS $570 A DAY

On the Great River, which runs from the Yellowstone Park across Utah. into the Colorado River, ev- cry mile of bed and bars contains gold dust. It is called flour gold because of its extreme hneness, and until recently there has been no method whereby the dust could be recovered.
 The problem finally was solved by A. E. Cutter, mining engin- eer and prospector. Mir. Cutler built on that river the biggest sluicebox ever designed, and each day it is handling 2,ooo cubic yards of sand and gravel and re- covering from thirty to thirty five ounces of gold dust.
 From each cubic yard of the mixed placer-dirt the gold recov- cred is not more than sufficient to cover the end of a common pencil and its value is about 35 cents; but the total recovered each day is worth S7oo,. while the cost of oper- ation is less than SI 30. Thus S57o is netted daily.
 The big sluicebox is $50 feet long-twenty times as large as the largest device of it's kind ever built before. More than 5000 '''riffles" are in the bottom of the sluiceway, which, with mercury between them. arrest and hold the flour gold as it is shaken and foated by water through the long trough.
 An endless chain of self-dump- ing buckets brings the placer-dust from the river bed and a powerful steam pump furnishes the great flow of water required.

Universal Health Insur- ance Will Benefit So- ciety In General
   By JOHN B. ANDREWS, Secretary American Association For Labor Legislation

TWENTY bills for universal
 health insurance before twen-
 ty legislatures this winter will result from the present widespread belief that universal health insur- ance is: needed to bring the best medical attention to all.
 TODAY ONLY THE VERY POOR AND THE VERY RICH BENEFIT BY THE ADVANCES IN MEDICINES. UNIVERSAL HEALTH INSURANCE WILL BRING IT TO THAT GREAT MIDDLE GROUP.
 Efficient medical care provided by health insurance and the finan- sial incentive to lessen the cost will reduce the amount of sickness which today causes a loss of nine days yearly to each of the nations thirty million wage earners. Just as workman's compensation pro- duced a "safetv first" movement, so HEALTH INSURANCE WILL INACCURATE A HEALTH FIRST" CAMPAIGN.

Vital Requirements of
 Salesmanship Are Energy and Initiative By C. LOUIS ALLEN, President q New York SaIesmanship Club

THERE is no such thing as a
 born salesman. Salesmen are
 made in the white heat of struggle. Some individuals have native qualities which peculiarly fit them for the profession, but with out understanding and training that is nothing. ENERGY, INITIA- TIVE, ARE THE VITAL RE- QUIREMENTS.
 We need more scientific sales msnship, ethical standards by which the work of every man can be judged, and academic training for beginners. Selling goods is the nerve center of the whole industrial world. With our opportunities in foreign fields, 30 recently opened up, our need is for master salesmen, men who can awaken the peoples of other lands to the meaning of American merchandise.
 The qualifications of . salesman are manifold. He must know what he is selling and why it is good for the man he hopes to obtain as GUS toner. If it is only good for him. self and not for the man he ap- breaches, customers will be few.
 CONSTANT STUDY, ukREMIT- TING EFFORT ABOVE ALL THINGS = IMAGINATION, kNTHU. sIAsM, OPTIMISM. ARE WHAT MAKE 6ALESMEN.

Family Doctors More : . Reliable InEpidemics l han Laboratory. Scientists By Ds. BEVERLY ROBINSON,
 Physician, New York
TO the pure scientist, the labora-

ITO the pure scientist, the labora-
 tory worker, it seems as
 though his word was law, tc be listened to and obeyed first o1 all. Yet we know his knowledge is almost wholly experimental and only some of it will endure, ANL MAYBE THE LARGER POR- TON WILL LATER BE SHOWN TO BE MISLEADING.
 Therefore in every health board. in every hospital, among the special ists of different sorts, the presiding and controlling man should be the all around physician.
 Had this been the case we should not have seen the terror prevalent in the late infantile paralysis cpl demic; we should not have had reg ulations of quarantine and care in- sisted upon which were illusory; we should not have had daily heralded in every newspaper THE EXPERI- MENTAL DOINGS FROM THE, LATEST RESEARCHES OF THE LABORATORIES, WHICH MAY NOT PROVE ULTIMATELY OF GREAT PRACTICAL VALUE.

a road from somewhere into mo- where, but it will tap one of the richest mining regions in Alaska.
 Canada has built up along the coas, many fine towns by giving a
 little assistance. Would it not be a good investment to build a good road from Chu-gas-an falls (Mill Creek falls) into the interior and so make possible a mining center equal to any in Alaska.
 Ketchikan, Juneau, Haines, and Skagway have had their help up and into the thousands. Why cannot Wrangell have some help from the Road Commission, when there is such a sure promise ot re- turns?
