Liberal Club here. said his VISIT 10 &c,
the United States had upset nearly all
his pre-conceived notions about Amer

He said he found Americans most
polite. very kind and hospltable ana
cnly too ready to take trouble LOT
others. He did not find them partlc-
uIar,v business-like and hard-worklng.
y0ne thing that struck him as terrlDle

TO dominate everything and he gave
instances of what he regarded as saw

GOLD VALUE SLUMPS;
PROSPECTORS QUIT
(By Associated Pressl

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 19-The Black
Hills prospector, that unique char
acter who has furnished many theme
for novels built around mans quest
for gold, practically has disappeared
from South Dakota, B. G.. Yates, of
Lead, S. D., declared today in an ad-
dress before the twenty-third annual
convention of the American Mining
congress.
Passing of the prospector has been
due primarily to the fact, according to
Yates, that "the gold taken from the
mines does not have sufficient value
to pay the cost of production" He
described the gold industry in the
Black Hills as being "in state of dis
Indignation"
I'm every mining community of the
hills are to be found empty houses and
deserted prospectors' cabins" he said.
THE gold industry" he continued,
is face to face with a grave crisis,
brought about by the world war and
the shortsighted policy adopted by the
government of breeding without feed
ing the one industry absolutely essen
tial to the life of any civilized nation
at all times"

ADELAIDE, Australia, Nov. 19-Dr.
Hargreaves. a distinguished Australian
chemist. declared at a conference of
master bakers here that the nations
which eat white bread are getting
close to the border line of neuritis.
He advocated brown bread, saying
that modern science demanded that
wheat should be milled whole.
He said that, undoubtedly, cam
paigns in favor of whole meal bread
will be shortly launched in the United
States and England, but it behooved
Australia to take prompt action.
The members of the conference
agreed with the doctors observations,
but said that Australians, with the ex-
ception of cranks and dyspeptics, re-
fused to eat brown bread.
