I"CAPTAIN KIDD" | MONEY HUNT IS BEGUN
Thirty Million Dollars in Gold and Silver Sought in Mine Shaft - Left By Spaniards.

Durango, Colo, Oct. 14.- With veritable Captain Kidd" treasure as their objective, two old-time residents of the San Juan country have start ed operations near Treasure Peak, in the San Juan mountain range, 35 miles northeast of this city. in an eff Rfort to locate a hoard of gold and silver estimated to be valued at up- w1rd of $3O.o00.0o0.
 William Barker and ChaRles Lee both of Lake City, Colo, believe they have discovered a 1ong-lost mine shaft that will lead to the unearthing of an enormous treasure hidden by a band of Spaniards several centuries ago.
 Conceal Riches and Flee
 According to the romantic story handed down from generation to gen. eration In this region. Spanish for tune hunters, harassed by savage In dians, after the former had secured large quantities of gold and silver by placer mining operations in the noun tain streams. concealed their riches in the heart of Treasure Peak and fled.
 Numerous unsuccessful attempts have been made to locate the hidden fortune, but Lee and Baker now be- lieve that the mine-shaft leading to the cache used by the Spaniards has been discovered.
 '.At the bottom of this shaft" Lee said, i've found a stone tablet which gave complete description of the To- cation of the treasure. The descrip- tion is in Spanish and states that three tunnels and two walls must be pfeced before the treasure is found. It gives the distance of each of the tunnels and the thickness of the walls In addition, 1t asserts that a bottle, containing further descriptions of the location, will be found at the base of one of the walls
 S,516 Bars In All
 ''The tablet places the amount of the treasure secreted at 3,516 bars. It does not say whether they are gold or silver, but we believe they represent both of these valuable metals. The size of the bars also Is given.
 Because of a rock-slide," Lee con- tfnued, "the treasure, according to the directions given in the tablet, will be 200 feet below the original 1oca- tfon. whfcE was given as many feet under ground.
 The tablet also mentions some death-traps in the shaft, and we are the treasure. We have already found one of the tunnels, but nothing was revealed that would indicate the exact location of the treasure. However, the bottle mentioned in the description on the tablet is not supposed to be at the base of the wall at the end of the first tunnel, but Is believed to be at the base of the wall at the end of the second tunnel.
 pect to spend two months reaching the location mentioned in the tablet We are confident that one of the greatest hidden treasures in the world is secreted in Treasure Peak. and the finding of the tablet in the shaft con- vinces us that we are on the right track"

How About Your lntercOStal
 Angle?

Is your intercostal angle small or large? Don't scoff at the question, because the answer may mean the difference between success and fail ure in your life work
 At least, that is the theory being tried out this fall by Miss Florence s. Dian, assistant professor of physi- cal training at Simmon college, Bos- ton, who for ten years has studied the physique of college girls.
 '"The intercostal angle," says Miss Diall, "is the angle made by the ribs as they curve up and fasten to the sternum or breast bone. The idea of measuring this angle is hy no means original with me, but was first devel- oped by Miss McKinstry, formerly of Pratt Institute.
 Miss Dian held up a little silver contrivance. specially designed to measure this interesting angle.
 I've are merely trying to see wheth- CT there is anything in the idea by measuring the angle on the freshmen class at Simmons. Our records are not yet complete enough to say what the average angle of the entering class is, but I intend making complete rec ords of each individual and watching her conduct and work through four years of college. If it appears that the leaders in the class possess mark edly wider angles than the girls who do not do so well, we may be able to arrive at some conclusion or value in future examinations.
 "Oh, yes, it is possible to enlarge the angle by corrective treatment" quickly replied Miss Diall in answer to the question whether a girl with small intercostal angle would have any hope of improving her chances in life.
 Correct breathing and good pos ture would help. The old saying of fathers to get their children to sit up straight, lift your ribs off your stom- ach,' would apply.
 Anything that will improve the physique of our girls Is worth try ing. Simmons girls are under more than ordinary pressure. They are at tempting to do in four years what most college girls do in five. It is my work to see that there is strong body for the trained mind. Our equipment Is not all that it will be some day after the endowment fund of S3,000,0G0 Is completed, but it is sufficient to do a great deal in developing the girls physiques.'
