WAYS OF STEALING GOLD
Miners Usod to Hide Metal in Clothes
or Food


The stealing of gold. whether from
the strong room of bank or from
the slime boxes of a working mine
battery is crime that will go on as
long rs the metal retains it's high
commercial value, says the Cont
mental editor Of the London Daily Mail.
In one Australian mining area alone,
the Kurnalpie and Kalgoorlie, more
than $4,000 ounces were lost yearly
through the illicit traffickings of
agents. Although miners were COM
PEELED to change their clothes before
leaving the workings, q steady stream
of precious dust found its way into
the buying rooms Of the "crook"
agents.
In the early sos lighted candles
were used n the tunnels, and the en-
terprising digger soon discovered he
could knead an ounce or so of rough
gold into the fat. Furthermore, the
most INSCRIPTIONS shift boss rarely
complained when n digger took a bit
of candle from the mine to light his
tent at night. Candles were precious
in these desert places, and the butts
were Of no use to the mine owners.
Shines of almost pure gold were
taken from the batteries before the
changing of clothes came into force.
The battery workers were known to
saturate their singlets, socks and
shirts in these rich shines. Very often
the operator rubbed the yellow matriX
into his head and hair. AS last re-
sort he would mix it in the tomato
soup he brought in n "billy" can for
his midnight or midday meal. Again,
the shift boss could not object If he
took the soup back to his tent on the
plea that he would warm it up for
supper.
When these ruses were detected and
more stringent regulation enforced,
midnight attacks on the locked slime
boxes were organized and the gold
taken by force. The sticking up
of Australian gold escorts by Austria
Ian crooks" was of a much rarer ma
ture than those which happened in the
roaring California days.
But amdng the small mine owners
the greatest thief was the legitimate
gold buyer. He was generally of al
len birth. Sometimes it was one who
came with swift camels and pair OF
fraudulent brass scales. To him would
come all the small claim owners with
their hard won gold dust wrapped in
old newspapers or carried in jam tins
or bottles.
One particular rascal had the knack
of spilling the dust into the scales in
such a manner that goody portion
was captured in the folds of his wide
slceved coat. And all the while he
talked vOluhly to distract attention. SO
between wide sleeves and fraudulent
scales Bill the minor received a little
for his labor.
In the SOS n Royal Mail steamship
lost 1000 sovcreigrs from its bullion
room while in an Australian port.
Watched night and day by the ships
officers the bullion room was consider
ed safe from marauders. Yet lie car
pcntcr, whose job it was to fasten steel
bands on the gold boxes, managed
daily to cram hundreds of sovcreigns
into holes he had bored in his planes.
Not being the ships carpenter he was
allowed to carry away his tools each
night.

muscd. "WOndCr if l dare wander
over there tomorrow"
The ringing of the telephone cut
short his musing, and when he an
swcrcd voice at the other end
draWlCd:
Say, the chief says to tell you
they've got your car, and the dare
devil that stole it got beat up in an
accident. The thief's in the AfeXian
hospital and your cars in Moreys
garage. If
But Dick waited for no more. Alex
ian hospital! That was where they
had taken Aline Whitley and the
thief's presence there would give him
an excuse to 20 over 1t would be only
courteous to ask after her-perhaps
he might even get glimpse Of her.
Not much sleep for Dick that night.
He tried TO imagine how severe he
was going to be with the thief, but his
whole attitude seemed sOftened by
thoughts of the girl in the limousine,
and when he did sleep his, dreams
were a curious tumble Of tender words
and threats.
A call at the garage next morning
uncovered the fact that little damage
had been done the roadster and, lcav-
ing orders TO have it repaired Dick
hurried to the hospital. AS he was
running blithely up tie steps, it sud:
denly occurred 10 him that he had not
given the police officer time TO report
the name of the offender against him
and the law, so he went first to the Of
flee TO investigate.
Can you give me the name OF
patient brought here yesterday be-
cause of an auto aCCident?' he asked.
"Only one auto case registered yes
terday-Aline Whitley - room 51O-
elevator at the left" explained the
obliging attendant.
"This surely is fate" chuckled Dick
"Thcy must have landed my thief
somewhere else-mistaEe ut hcadquar-
ters, l gucss-anyway I'll take the
the goods the gods provide"
When he reached room $40 he intro
duccd himself as the man who had
taken Miss Whitley from the disabled
ambulance the day before and said he
had called to ask how she was pro-
crossing.
"Shc'S so very much improved, I'll
let her thank you herself" said the
kindly nurse, leading him to the bed
side, where Dick looked into the most
heavenly pair Of eyes he thought he
had ever seen.
"This is Mr.-er-" began the nurse.
"Rce," supplemented Dick.
"Not Richard Rice" the girl cried
out. "Oh-nGt-"
Perhaps I'd better say Dick, then
why-what-"
"Oh, how can you ever forgive me"
the girl went on. 81 thought it was
Cousin Ned's car-and that awful Ed
Stout was coming-and I wanted to
got away from him so hadly-and Ned
always let me drive when l was with
hint only expected to ride around
the JIock-and then when l saw Ned
in his own car l got all fuSsed-and l
ran into another auto-then l tainted
and after l got better they told me
it was your car"
Did Dick forgive her? Every day
thereafter until Aline was well found
him at the hospital, and then he took
her away in the low, gray roadster
After the engagement was announced
lie received a card from police head
quarters bearing this query:
"Ilow about that tidy little reward
for rounding up the daredevil who
stole your car?"

FILIPINOS DENY INCOMPETENCE
 IN HANDLING FINANCES AND PUSH
 CLAIMS FOR THEIR INDEPENDENCE

American goods, it's market is unable to absorb them or to find the neces- sary capital to finance them. The rate of exchange is ruinous and un- paid drafts reaching several millions of dollars have accumulated in the banks with little hope of cancella- ton.
 In America the plight of certain in tereSts is very serious. Farmers are in a condition bordering on despera- ton, as g,e value of their product IS only about 6o% of pre-Wa days while the price of all they buy is two or three times as high. They cannot ob- tain sufficient credits nor are their notes rediscountable as they run for longer periods than commercial pa per. The failures in 1919 were 4,726 The markets are filled with unstable goods. The south whose economic life is bound up in cotton, faces economic paralyzation as result of the fall in price of that commodity.
 For a nation to be compelled to be indebted Is not any indication of in capacity If that be the case then all the world is suffering from incapac- ity and the FilipinOs are in good com pany. If that he taken as a promise and Philippine independence is with held then it must be argued next that all the countries of the globe now indebted to the United States and which is not, should be colonies of the United States for being hnan- Cially incompetent.

JOINERS DISPUTE IN HARTFORD SENT
 TO PARENT UNION
Row Over Business Agent Goes to Indianapolis for
 Settlement

Hartford, Aug 12-The two factions in the carpenters and joiners' union have reached an agreement whereby the result of the recent election for business agent has been referred to the international officers at Indianapolis for settlement A long meeting of the union was held MOn day night at Carpenters Hall, marked by spirited discussion. At the close the question at issue was referred to ln dianapolis. In the meanwhile, George A. Parsons. who received a majority of the votes at the annual election, is doing the majority of the work as business agent.
 Pending a settlement of the differences in the union. George ]. Gerety, who claims that Mir. Parsons election was illegal and that he himself is still busi- ness agent, has turned over to a com mittec of three union members the auto mobile and books owned by the local union. The committee which was ap- pointed by the union to take possession of the machine secured 1t from Mr. Gerety several days ago.
 At he present time the union owns small coupe for the use of it's busi- ness agent. but many members have re- gently favored selling the smaller auto and buying a larger one which, they claim, will be of more use. Frequently the carpenters business agent is asked by contractors to secure extra men and it is believed that with larger machine he could pick up the needed men and carry them. with their tool chests, direct ly to their job. The business agent of the carpenters organization, aside from acting as general manager, also secures jobs for members who are unemployed

SIZES OF HATS AND SHIRTS
 IMPORTANT IN GETTING A JOB
 AS DRIVER OF AUTO MAIL TRUCK
More Darn-Fool Cues tiOns in Examination for Federal Service. Slight Knowledge C
 Machines Might Help.

What size hat do you wear? Also what size shirt?
 If you wear the right size hat and shirt you might get job in the motor vehicle service of the United States postoffiCe department. Of course you must have a slight knOWl- edge of automobiles, but the size Ot your hat and the size of your shirt appear to be of much more impor- tance. On the application blanks tor employment i'll the service the ques- lions, following the few relating to personal history, read as follows:
 Were you ever 1n the employ Ot the United States government?
 If so, i'll what service and what
 What trucks are you qualified to operate?
 Hat size Shirt size What is your Weight:?"
 Just what mans hat size or shirt size have to do with his ability to qualify for a job as d motor vehicle operator Ill the pOstohlCe department Is not set forth i'll the blank, and no one was able to state definitely, though 1t was suggested that 1t mi ght be that the government was to sup ply hats and shirts for the employees. No one wanted to be responsible for the suggestion that perhaps the de- partment has an odd tot ot shirts and mats which 1t IS seeking to it men to, but postal employe was unklnu enough to volunteer this suggestion, declaring that 1t would fit in with the present economy policy.
 Apparently the government does not care particularly what size shoes II he h lar, ii he wears one. Neither does 1t appear anxious to learn what size coat, vest and trousers he wears, tor there IS no reference to them in the blank. It does not even inquire into his preference in neCkt1eS or SON. Furthermore 1t does not inquire into his height, though it does require him to state his weight. Apparently a short thick man is as acceptable as a lown-drawn-out one, if he weighs enough.
 As to age, it is rather particular. It calls for:
 Date of birth.~..~---~- Month"; -..-..-.-.-. (Day ......~.~.~( \ ear. ~--.,..-~~--. Then after that there Is another space i'll which the applicant is re- quired to set forth "Age~.~---,,." Of course it may be suggested that the department might be able to make a fair estimate Ot a mans age with the exact date of his birth at hand. 1t has been suggested that the depart ment issued the blanks with the idea that some women might seek em- ployment and that therefore the ques- ton as to age was necessary. How ever, others declare that this cannot be the explanation, and set forth as proof that no woman living knows the size of her hat.
 Some of those who have looked over the blanks suggest that they were prepared by Tom Edison.

ASKS DOUBLE PAY
 FOR CONGRESSMEN
Would Raise Their Own Pay tt $15,ooo While Workers
 Are Cut,

Representative Kissel, of New York, does not believe in ''defllation' Con- gressmen. He has introduced bill that will, if enacted. raise their salaries from $7 500 to $15,OOO year. Its object, Kissel declares, is to check '1oafing on the job.' He expects that when Con- gressmen get twice as much as they are now paid they will be more punctual in attendance. It seems, according to his statement, that they have been doing a shameless lot of shirking,
 There isn't a chance that the proposal will get favorable consideration, because some member is certain to demand a roll call, and there are any number of Con- greSsmen who are satisfied to serve at the present salary if it can not be raised without their votes.

Mr.. Edison's busy mind is now
predicting that in a hundred years
from now poverty will be abolished,
based probably on the expectation
that all the people will then be
thrifty and provident and serious
minded. There is no substantial
reason TO believe that this will be
SO. 1t is quite true that poverty is
not so common or so hopeless as it
used to be. Modern inventions have
greatly increased production, and
production is what the people live
upon. The reason Russia is starving
and freezing is because production
has ceased in large areas. Famlnes
were common in olden times be-
cause of Iow-scale production and
inefficient distribution. The poor
were perpetualIy poor in those days.
1t is not so now. The sober poor and
the able-bodied poor can abolish
their poverty under present con-
ditlons. But many refuse to save
or to invest their savings. To
abolish poverty 1t is necessary for
all to keep for the future part OF
what is earned in the present. 1t is
not easy. A great many refuse to
even try to do so. The number who
are willing to live on bread and
beans IN order to build up savings
account is few. But there are some,
everywhere and all the time. They
abolish their poverty. -Lewiton
