Wealth of Gold in Siberia
 Minerals of All Kinds

An inscrutable dispensation seems to have placed the greatest mineral
 wealth in those lands least able to develop it, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine ir; it's July issue. Siberia is a case in point. The eastern half rich in mineral deposits, which run the gamut from gold, silver and prec- ious stones to. graphite and salt. In the Ussuri region, north of Vladivo- 'stok, gold is found everywhere, the only lack of enterprise and facilities prev extensive development. There is, indeed, more or less gold in practically every Siberian province.

Woman River Pilot is Cap
 tain Mate and Crew

A striking example of woman's adaptability to strange professions is the success of feminine pilot whose boats ply the waters of the Mississip- pi Valley. Not only is she adept in threading the tickle channels romanti- cized by Mark Twain, but her trad ing ventures seldom result to her dis advantage. A middle-aged, unassum7 ing woman, it is her practice to buy a boat, selecta promising community on the Father of Waters or one of his big tributaries, establish an active fer ry traffic, and then sell out, only to repeat the cycle of operations else where.

 "Here and there is a cross where some soldier, killed in the last days of the fighting, is buried
 i"Those who died in the frightful- ness of the earlier battles lie some where beneath that awful heap of dust. All along this strip of dead country are soldiers graves, singly in the middle of plowed fields, in groups along the roads, or row after row in some field cemetery. The fathers of many of the little chil- dren for whom we are seeking to care are buried there, and more have left no trace"
 Every day of her stay in the war zone it was made wildly clear to Mrs. Brewster that we must work harder and faster than ever before," for thousands of children are perishing in France.
 Under the plan of the campaign be- ing undertaken, each American foster parent pledges ten cents day, which makes $3 a month, or $S6.5O a year, and this added to a tiny allowance of the same amount allowed by the French Government, means saving grace to a French child, allowing it not only to remain in it's own country, but with itsswidowed mother instead of in an institution. Thus are the broken remnants, of the little war families kept together. Each foster parent is put in direct touch with the child for whom she has pledged the necessary 10 cents day, and with its mother through correspondence. Every cent subscribed goes to the child. The expenses of this philan- throphy are borne by generous friends of the organization. To adopt a child or to make . donation, large or small, write for information to Mrs. Walter s. Brewster, Room 634, 40 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, H., with whom all local chairmen of The Fatherless Children. of France, in every community are cooperating.

ALL APPLICANTS PASS AMERICAN" EXAM.

In the naturalization examinations
 held in Tombstone recently, every
 applicant whd came from the Ameri. canization schools of the Warren Dis trict passed successfully, which speaks well for the methods used at the Bis bee Hi-Y Americanization cources.
 J. T. Howles, director of the night schools, is devoting his particular at- tention to Americanization work, with the result that about four hundred foreigners are now learning the Engt fish language and preparing them selves for naturalization.
 The Amerisanization classes are now being extended to the outlying parts of the district; very recently school was opened at "Tintown", with seventysix pupils, which shows the possibilities of the work. Not only is the English language taught, but the essentials of citizenship, such as history and civics are included.
 Plans are being made for a dis tinct innovation in the method used in teaching English to foreigners in the Warren District, and new outlines of courses will be ready by the fall term. English is to be taught by re- lating it to the work of the mining industry, to safety, health, sanitation, living conditions, thrift, etc., and it is believed that this method will permit not alone of the teaching of English more easily, but those being taught will be peter worknen, because of improved knowledge of their work, and will be more thoroughly ,Ameri- canized because of a knowledge of American standards of living, health, safety and sanitation. \
 The new courses involve no changes in the underlying methods which have already been tried out and proven sdc- cessful, the changes being only in the material used for classes. By far and larger percentage of those in the Am ericanization classes are Mexicans.

Pershing's Secret Map In National Museum

As result of a suggestion from General Pershing himself, there is now displayed in the Natural Museum at Washington, D. C., the great battle map that formerly hung in a closely guarded room of the American G. H. O., at Chaumont, France. Here, dur ing America's participation in the ac- tive fighting, member of the general staff recorded each day the changes in the battle line, the location of every division, and the limits of every arTAy sector. As the map stands now, it represents the exact military situa- tion at the hour of the armistice.

THE LAST APPEAL For Foster Parents for 6O,OOO French War Orphans

r One of the most appealing of the after-the-war campaigns will be
 launched this month, asking for foster parents for 60,0O0 litle war orphans of France. Mrs. Walter s. Brewster wife of the Roumanian Consul to Chi cago, Chairman of the Chicago Com mittee and Vice-President of the Ma tional Committee of The Fatherless Children of France, has charge of the promotion of this campaign.
 Mrs. Brewster has just returned from tour of investigation through the devastated regions of France.
 The highest French officials pro- vided her with military escort and be- slowed upon her every courtesy dur ing her visit to the war zone. She lived with tAe appalling conditions of these children and their mothers-she knows that thousands of children "over/ there" are undernourished, starving, and succumbing to sickness.
 "In all the northern country" says Mrs. Brewster, there is no village un- touched, and scarcely house with roof. There is not a bridge thAt has not been dynamited, a factory that has not been ruined. The tales that are told of the boche invasion are unthink- able-shocking. Still the, people of the north tell them dispassionately. They have borne SD much they have no energy to show excitement over their suffering. They are coming back into these terrible towns as soon as they are allowed. They bring their possessions with them in two string bags, usually. Possibly they have enough to fill a red cotton table cloth knoted at the corners. To Cam bria, 17,000 out of a pre-war popula- ton of 29,0OO have returned. They live ten and twelve in a room, and many of the rooms have no roofs.
 "For two days we motored over this northern country before we saw a COW, chicken or horse. The coun- try is stripped bare of everything that makes it ivable. But to the French it is still lovable. As you ride through 1t your pity for France is in finite. But in your mind are no words to express your feelings to-

LARGER DOMESTIC
 CONSUMPTION FOR <. COPPER LOOKED FOR

There has been Hull in the buying of copper; accompanied by slight re- cession in price. Sales have been at
 about the rate of 12O,OOO for the
 month of May, while production is estimated at 10000 pounds. The most encouraging aspect of the situ- ation is the fact that the recent acti- vities was based upon growing domes- tic needs. Wire drawers who were among the largest purchasers of cop per recently have received several in- dividual orders from power lines for 100000 to 3,000,000 pounds of bare copper wire.
 The removal of the French embargo is favorable development as it is indicates reduction in the surplus stocks in France and makes it possible for American producers to figure on the French trade again. The Italian embargo is expected to be lifted in the near future.
 By far the most encouraging fea- ture of the copper situation is evi- dence of larger domestic consumption and the prospect is for a steady gain in domestic melting in the next few months. At the same time, there was less buying on domestic account last week than previously. Total sales for the month, however, to home buyers alone, were close to 100000, ,000 pounds and including export sales pro- ducers disposed of about 150,OOO000 pounds in May on domestic and for. eign account for shipment upto and including August. Sales to home con- sumers during the first five months of the year are~estimated at about S00,000, ,000 pounds which is at an av- craze rate of s60,000,000 per month. This indicates closely the present rate of consumption but total deliveries to home consumers were probably not over 250,OO0,o00 pounds up to June list.
 Sales on foreign account, it is indi- cated, averaged about '20,000,000 pounds month, or 100000, ,000 pounds during the first five months of the year. It is an interesting fact that sales of between 4,O00 to 5000 tons were made for export to Japan about the middle of the month and some shipments against these sales will be reflected in Government statistics, during the current month.
 A somewhat easier tone accompan- jed the smaller buying of copper last week, dealers especially showing some disposition to shade prices for nearby shipment, but producers continued to hold Electrolytie firmly at 16.5Oc for June and July shipment but were ask ing premiums for later delivery. The results of fluctuations in prices in May was an advance of 1c to 1 1-8c per pound on lake and Electrolytic and an advance of 7-8c per pound on Casting copper. There was a reces- sion of 1-8c to 1-4c per pound from the highest figures touched.
 The probability seems to be that export as we'll as domestic sales will be increased during the next few months. At the same time,, produc- tion of mines, smelters and refineries will not be increased so that the pros pect for reducing surplus stocks is

most encouraging.

most encouraging.
 The present relation between the London and New York markets dis courages any expectation of impor- tant early sales of American copper to English consumers, the evident in- tention of the British Government be-. ing to dispose of it's surplus stocks at home, t

Will Be Conducted Under Aus
 piCoS Of Red Cross
COST WILL BE ABOUT S1,5OO
Several Town Streets Will Be .ACecpt- csl--Eco Will Be s>>ld By Tickets Other News Items of Interest,"

Plainville took it's first important step in it's postwar work last evening at q. special meeting of tho citizens of the town when it was unanimously voted to cstablish a public health nursing service i1 the town as soon as arrangements can bo, madc with the proper officials for such service. Tho meeting WAS held in the court room of tho town hall at s o'clock and was we'll attended. It was held under the auspices of the local chapter of tho American Red Cross, tho organization which is caring for the work through out the country.
 The meeting was presided over hy C, H. Newton. chairman Of the local branch of the Red Cross. MT. Newton showed his enthusiasm for the work and was a strong supporter of such a movement starting in town. The spea ker of the evening was Miss Stack of Hartford who has charge of such work through out the state both under the Red Cross and the state board Of health. Her talk served to change the attitude Of any in the room who might have opposed such a project
 
 and showed the advantages for better health which it will mean to the town as well as the saving of money in the future. Her entire talk was most in teresting and the people in attendance were all in favor of the movement aft CT she had concluded. The benefits which will inCrue for the town were particularly dwelt upon by Miss Stack who emphasized the necessity for good healthy community
 The expense of maintaining a nurse in the town was reported on by Rev. F.. C. Gillette. It is estimated that the entire expense for one nurse for one year would be s1, 800. The amount mentioned would include the salary of the nurse as well as other incidental expense incurred by the service here. Tn q town of this size the service of one nurse is thought to he sufficient for the needs of the public and if too much work is found the problem can easily be solved by hiring another nUrSr-
 The townspeople will not have a heavy burden to bear by the advent of the service in the town Ii Is thought that an appropriation of S400 will be asked for at a special town meet1nE- The remainder or the money will be obtained by fees col 1ected by the nurse Insurance com panies cooperate in such matters and pay fees 10 the nurse attending their patrons Tn such q manner consider able toward the s1.50o would be req 11zed- The remainder of the s1-500 will be supplied through a fund now in the treasure of the local branch of the Red Cross- The local chapter is financially on firm ground and will prove a good reservoir fund for such community helps as the health nursing service-

 The nurse, 1t is reported, will also give her services in the schools, pro- vided the board of education ap- proves Of such a course and asks for her services. Such movement would be of advantage and would start the children in the lower grades on the right path to good health. Nurses are employed for the care of children in other town and city schools and this town will not be in the background as far as such pro- greSs is concerned
 At the meeting the executive com mittee of the local branch and q com mittee of 6 citizens were chosen 10 care for the work of establishing the service in the town. The executive committee consists of c. H. Newton, chairman; Rev. E. C. Gillette, vice chairman; Joseph N. McKcrnan. sec retary; Miss Sadie Wheeler, treasurer, and Rev. J. E. Fay. member of exccu- tive committee. The other commit fec consists of: Dr. J. N. Bull, pr. c. ". Moody, pr. J. c. Tanner, pr. l.. IT, Frost, Mrs. c. F. Clark, Mrs. s. s. Gwillin1, Mrs. A.

Judd, principal of the Plainville Grammar school, John E. Lamb and William l.. Camerty.
 Miss Stack has the favorable action of last nights meeting and authority to secure a nurse for the town but she stated that because of a lack of nurses at the present time it is probable the town will not start it's health work until September.

tnaCcCptcU Streets.

At the present time there are in town a dozen or more streets which havc been used as highways for years but which have never been accepted as streets by the town. This has led to Consjderable confusion and trouble and it is the opinion of mon who understand the situation tha8 a spe- Cia! town meeting should bc called for the acceptance of such streets or their rejection. As cond tions exist now the streets are considered regu- lar town streets but when sales of property, etc, are reported the snag is found and the streetssare known as passways. One such$stTeet is Bank street which is as old aI many of the residents of the town. AHhovgh used and known as q, town straAte Bank street has never been accepte1Spfficial- ly by the town. The objecta6h may be that there is a dead en6 at the south end of the street but it could be remedied by a little work and continuance through to South Wash ington street. Further trouble has arisen over that particular section be- cause real estate company from Hartford has opened up building lots for sale and has asked that ths<Fs.cx 4 ton be accepted by the towr.~ Se- lectInan Johnson said this Inorning that he was of the opinion Ehat the section could not be accepte1 because it's only outlet is onto Bahk street which is not a town streeH A con- tinuance of one of the Neww streets could be made through to South Washington street likewise but 1t would involve a purchase aof consider able land and a biz expense to the company which has opened the new territory.
 The same condition exists through out other parts of thef town Each town meeting leaves the matter to the se!eCtmen and they} seem to make no progress whatever on the matter until il comes to a Case as at the present time The bacceptance of streets should be cared for by the voters in town meetings and their decision would he fina4 z
