The Salt Lake, Utah, Mining Re view, says: First it was the prospec- tor with his burro, for these could penetrate into almost inaccessible re- gions. As the country became more settled the swifter horse was used, and by degrees wagons loaded with camp supplies were taken as far into the mountains as possible and, as roads were built and improved, auto- mobiles were driven any place to which a wagon could go, thus elimina- ing many difficulties formerly encoun- tered in transportation and travel.
 Still, with all modern conveniences at command, the prospector has dis covered that there are many inaccess- sible places in towering mountain re- gions which men cannot reach, and for years he has been looking with long ing eyes toward regions in which, he believes, rich ore deposits exist, and the thought occupies his waking hours and troubles him in his sleep.
 The coming of the airplane, how ever, promises to solve the problem of reaching these sections which nature has so safely guarded inthe past, and we believe the day is not far distant when prospecting by means of air planes will become so commonplace as to excite no unusual comment ol excitement.

ORIGIN OF BITS"
(Martha G. Purcell in "Stories of Old
 Kentucky."A

(Martha G. Purcell in "Stories of Old
 Kentucky."3
 We of today, with half dollars, quarter dollars, dimes, nickles and pennies, often find it difficult to make change" Still more difficult was it for the early settlers to do so.
 As the Indians used wampum, so the pioneers of Kentucky used the skins of wild animals as their first curren- cy. While immigrants continued to come to this region, the Spanish silver dollars came gradually into circula- tion. Still there was no small change.
 As necessity is the mother of in- vention," our forefathers actually made change by cutting the dollar into four equal parts, each worth 25 cents. These were again divided each part worth twelve and one-half cents, called bits. People sometimes became careless in the work of making change and often cut the dollar into five Quarters" or into ten "eights." On account of the wedge shape of these pieces of cut money, they were called "sharp shins."
 If change was needed for smaller sum than twelve and one-half cents merchants gave pins, needles, writing paper and such things.
 This cut silver gradually found its way back to the mint for recoinage usually to the loss of the last owner As late as 1906, a business house il Philadelphia received over one hun dred pounds of cut silver, brought ol by Kentucky merchant, which wal sent on a dray to the United State mint for recoinage.

q WONT RETURN" LIEUTENANT LUKE
 SAID TO FRIENDS
His Body Fell Over German Lines As If Reckoning to His Comrades, Says Dean Scarlett in Phoenix Ad- dress.

Phoenix, Ariz.-"I will never re- turn," were Lieut.. Frank Luke's part ing words to Phoenix, as he left for training camp en route to France, where the daring aviator fell facing heavy odds after one of the most met eoric careers recorded in the annals of the great war This was the state ment made by Dean William Scarlett in his address at the presentation of the congressional medal of honor to Frank Luke, Sr., the intrepid Phoenix flier's father.
 Frank Luke's prophecy that he would not come back from the war was prompted neither by fear nor fla talism, said Dean Scarlett, but sprang from full knowledge of himself and the risks he said he knew his spirit would prompt him to take in the worlds fight for democracy.
 "He fell over the German lines,' v said the dean in conclusion, Gas though beckoning on his comrades. His body may lie in France, but his deeds will live forever"
 The presentation of the congress sional medal of honor to the dead lieutenant's father was made by Brig. Gen. Howard R. Hickok, commanding the Arizona military district on the portico of the capitol whose lawns were crowded with hundreds of the aviator's friends and fellow citizens Behind Frank Luke, ST., stood the young mans mother, four of his brothers and three of his sisters, one sister being absent.
 As the prized token of the nations pride in the deeds of its courageous son passed into the possession of the family, the band struck up 'The Stal Banner" and one of the most impres. sive ceremonies ever witnessed 1T Phoenix came to close.
