COINS OF PHOENICIA
 FOUND AT BERKELEY

John P. Young in San Francisco
 Chronicle)
 A few weeks ago Chester K. Frost an Oakland, Cal, shipbuilder, while digging in a canyon back of Berekeley uncovered a misshapen copper coin. The discovery melted further search and was rewarded by the finding of five additional pieces of copper un- questionably minted by hand which contained inscriptions in Greek and Latin.
 One of the coins is about the size of a dime and bears a resemblance to early Phoenician money The num- ismatists of the university recognize in the dim and weather beaten pro- file the characteristic embossment of a womans head peculiar to the money of this ancient people. Added inter est is lent to the find by the fact that the archaeologists of the university have for some time been seeking fur ther evidence of a buried city" which is supposed to have existed in the foot hills somewhere back of the campus.
 The theory is advanced that the re- gently discovered coins were brought to the California coast by Phoeniciar coloniStS who preceded the padres There is absolutely no suspicion of th' genuineness of the find and there ii talk of excavating with the view of de | terming whethere> there is foundation for the belief that ancient ruins ma, underlie the locality

ANOTHER WILD AND BLOODY PLAY COMES

Probably the finest body of mounted policemen in the world is the Texas ranger organization. The men who compose this force are steady eyed steel -nerved dare devil coWpunchers who can draw like lightning, shoot with remarkable accuracy and trail their men over the sagebrush covered desert with relentless tenacity.. They are the men who protect the isolated settlements of Texas from bandits and plug -uglies," bringing safety and se- curity to the isolated homes of the ranchers.
 In "The Silent Rider" to be shown at the Columbia theater today only, Roy Stewart portrays a role of Texas ranger who undertakes to clean up gang of cattle rustlers. Stewart is the ideal type for such a characterize . tion
 He suggests the fine intelligence and the magnificent daring of these men. Incognito, he enters the employ of Jim | Carson discovers that his foreman 1 is in league with the rustlers and in a thrilling series of gun duels and man to- man battles, he vanquishes his | tricky opponents.
 l In this offering, Stewart is a whiTl wind broncho bustin six shootin' streak of law, enforcin' business upor bunch of cattle rustlers.
 These rustlers attempt to ruin the reputation of an innocent man but his little old six gun knocks holes through the fabric of their conspiracy.

GOODYEAR COAST
 STOCK RESERVED
 FUR THIS VALLEY
Edward F. Parker An nounces Small Allotment of New Stock Will Be Placed Here-Will Have Great Effect on Local Cotton Industry.

With construction already under way on the plant of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of California and the Pacific Cotton Mills company, the two coast subsidiaries of the Goodyear Tlre and Rubber company of Akron, an al- Iotment of S200 900 worth of the cotton mills preferred stock has been reserved exclusively for Arizona. This was an nounced yesterday by Edward F. Park CT. vice president of the Southwest Cot lon company here.
 MT. Parker explained that total of sl2.O00 000 in stock had been offered by the two Goodyear subsidiaries, and had been bought, sometimes above par immediately by California and Good. year investors Of the huge issues made by the two corporations, only the small allotment of S200000 was re- served. and that of the Cotton Mills preferred issue for Arizona investors. "The rubber stock went at 102 the day after it was put on the market, said MT. Parker. "The cotton mills stock wasn't advertised; it was bought before it was offered and has not yet been put on the stock exchange. Cali fornia people certainly backed us up with real money

 MT. Parker stated his company be- lieves the new cotton mills will have five great influences on the cotton in- dustry here The five may be sum- marized as follows:
 First, a new market
 Second. a closer market.
 Third. shorter haul and in a different direction thus removing the danger O. freight congestion.

 Fifth a rapidly expanding market Because of economic conditions favor ing this section, the local demand fo cotton products will enormously in crease. It is also probable that higl erade fabrics can be made in Los An geles mills and shipped via the Panam canal to the eastern states.
 Goodyear can use more staple cot ton shan this whole valley can pro duce." declared Mir. Parker "The Pa cific Cotton mills will take 15,0OO bale this year We are now making 27OO tires a day and are preparing to mak 4O000 day. The California plant wi start off with a going business of abou S14O00,0OO a year.
