A peculiar accident and one that
will cause more or less comment
among auto owners happened Tues
day morning in front Of the postof-

in front of the building in his car and
after getting the mail, started the en-
CINE going. just as the car started
one Of the rear tires suffered a blow
out. The force of the outrushing air
was so great that a small rock in
the street was picked up and hurled
against one of the plate glass win
dows of the postoffice. The force of
the flying rock was sufficient to
break hole clear through the glass
and crack it almost entirely across.

SHOULD GET HELP
FROM EXPERTS
and Owners With Mineral Prospects
Can Get Aid From Those Ex-
perienced in Business of
Mining
(By Robert NJ. Berry,

Mineral deposits IN FOLK count,
are not confined to any particular
norton of the county judging from
the specimens of ore that have beer
shown in Mena and elsewhere. While
majority of the samples brought
forth thus far have been of mangan-
csc there have been plenty of evil
denees that other minerals are TO be
found
To those who find minerals on
their properties or who know of the
existence of ores of any character
this admonition is given: Don't de-
mend upon the guess work or opinion
Of men not experienced in the bust
ness of mining, but submit specimens
10 those who know.
There are in the Mena field today
a number Of men who are qualified
to pass upon minerals of nearly ev-
erv known kind. The majority of
these men will be glad to assist
farmers and landowners in ascertain
ing the kind, class and probable
worth of the different kinds of ore
found. Those of Polk county resi-
dents who honestly desire to see the
mineral deposits here developed
should make it a duty to let others
know Of their finds.
The mere possession of ledge of
mineral on ones land is not to be TAX
en- that the owner is to become
wealthy at once. Some ores already
found have but little value at pres
emit. while others are worth much If
properly developed. A half hours
visit with someone qualified to give
an opiniofi msy be the means of pre-
venting the building of false hopes,
or it may lead to the development Of
an extremely valuable prospect.
To develop most mineral prospects
requires capital and this is something
many Of the present owners lack. BY
getting in touch with the outsiders,
the homefolks can not only get ex-
pert opinion regarding the worth Of
minerals but can also get in touch
with those who will provide the need
ed capital.
Rich Ore But Hard To Handle.
Workers engaged in development
work on the York property near Two
Mile creek, between Potter and Old
Potter have encountered difficult
mining problem. A vein of almost
pure pyrolusite has been found
Samples sent to Joplin by j. B. Dick
inson are reported to have assayed
81 per cent manganese, but later
samples taken out will run close to
95 per cent, Mr.. Dickinson states.
This class of ore is said to be
worth from Is to IS cents a pound,
but is extremely difficult to mine,
because of its softness. The workers
are determined to save it II possible.
Other ores on the same property are
said to be high grade, and steam
drill has been ordered for use In de-
veloping the property.

mill in operation on his property
IN the Aena field just az soon as the
work cSn be done. He has some
high grade ore already exposed in

there is sufficient quantities of the
valuable mineral to justify building

WANTED PHOTOGRAPHS OF
TWINS

The American Genetic Association
desires to communicate with twins
living in any part of the world. 1t has
been discovered that twins are in a
peculiar position to help in the clue
idation OF certain problems of hered-
ity. Good photographs at all ages
are especially desired in order to de-
terrnine the degree of resemblance
and its persistence through life. Any
information, giving the addresses OF
twins, who are willing to cooperate
with the Association will be keenly
appreciated.
1t is known that there are two sorts
OF twins. Cd The true identical"
twins are developed from single
original egg cell which at some very
early stage divided to form two iden-
teal beings. These identical or du-
plicate twins have nearly Though
never an absolutely identical germ
plasm, are always of the same sex and
feStlllDlc GdCIl OluNl u al SNti aOl
binary degree. (2) The other kind,
"fraternal" twins are no more alike
than brothers and sisters born at dif-
ferent times. They are developed
from two separate egg cells.
1t is fortunate for our knowledge Of
heredity that there are these two
kinds Of twins, on account of the
chance it gives to study the rela-
tive importance of the influence of he
redity and environment
1t is for the study OF this funda-
mental question of the degree of in
fuence exerted by environment as
compared with that due to heredity
that the cooperation OF the twins Of
the world is solicited and any pub
licity given to this notice by the
press will be of great assistance.
All communications should be di-
rected to the American Genetic Asso-
citation, Washington, D. c.

PAN-AMERICAN LABOR
BODY TO Be FORMED
fRy Associated Press,


LAREDO. Texas, Nov. 18.-The Pan
American labor conference, after q
day of heated debate yesterday, during
which the American Federation Of
Labor denounced the Industrial work
ers of the World as enemies OF gov
eminent everywhere, expected to emu
its discussions today with the organi-
zation Of a permanent federation. rep
resenting the labor movements In all
Of the countries of the western hemi-
sphere.
Oficers Of the American Federation
were greatly pleased oyer the confer
ence, declaring that even should the
projected Pan-American Federation OF
Labor not be effected Immediately, the
conference lad been more than worth
while for the opportunity It had given
OF presenting to the delegates in the
other republics the true position OF
organized labor In the Uunted States
toward the Industrial Workers OF the
World.
Although the American Federation
Of Labor has known Of the activities
OF the Industrial Workers OF the
World propaganda in Mexico, 1t was
amazed in the debate yesterday to
learn the extent to which the propa-
gandists had succeeded in spreading
their doctrine.
