A FORTUNE, VIRGINIA

Henry Cameron, employed as farm
hand by his uncle in Virginia and
working from sunup till shutdown for
stipend of $40 monthly, had often
dreamed of finding fortune and buy
ing farm of his own. His dream I'M
expectedly became reality a few
weeks ago when his ploy turned UP
a buckskin-wrapped metal pot in a
mountainside field. Inside the pot he
found about $4,000 in gold coins. $500
in silver and some paper currency,
the latter so badly decayed that the
denomination could not be determined.
The latest date on any of the coins
was 1923.

MONEY LURE
FOR STARS BAD
Trend Of College Athletics
Decried BY Trinity's
Head
OFFERS OF MONEY
A SERIOUS PROBLEM
When Boys Enter College
for Sole Purpose Of
Gaining REP

Boston, Dec. 24.---The tendency Of
college football stars to become coaches
at big salaries after graduation was
decried to-day by President Remson,
B. ogilby of Trinity college. As the
representative for New England of the
National Collegiate Athletic associa-
tion, he will report on the trend Of
college sports in this section at the
annual meeting in New York next
week.
President Ogilby, pointing out that
intercollegiate competitions inspire to
intense play in contrasts with the lack
OF fire that marks contests between
professional teams, added: 1T is small
wonder that it is the college stadium
that is always filed to capacity for q
big game.
''Thc difficulty comes,r he continued,
when this intense interest in college
athletics is exploited by individuals
aAd organization for its money value.
To my mind, the chief problem in col
itEc dtulttlSS tofuh1 - nut tHf tH-
deavor ON the part of individual coll
leges to offer financial or other in
ducements to strengthen their teams.
Colleges with ideals do not do this and,
so far, no means have been successful
in preventing colleges with low ideals
from accomplishing it.
"The greater problem is when pres
sure is brought to bear upon an ath-
lete who has made a reputation as
college amateur to use his prowess lat
er for financial gain. II is not good
situation when hero Of gridiron
gets a salary running into four or five
figures, as coach for three or four
years after graduation. II is not
good situation when man goes into
college athletics largely to build up
reputation which he may use later on
professional teams. The fact that col |
Iege athletes very shortly after com.
pIeting their college season enter the
field of professional sport, brings up
serious problems.
I'VE may say that the influence Of |
such college men as have gone into |
professional baseball has been for the |
best interests of that sport but that 1
may not apply to football

Mrs. Ray accompanied him on the trip.

terested in the proposed entrance Of
the professional boxing game by Joic
Ray, and wants to be his manager,

MAKING GAS MANTLES
REQUIRES GREAT CARE
Millions Used, Few Know Process Of
Manufacture.

Millions of incandescent gas mantles
ere used yearly in the United States.
The method of lighting in which they
are employed is now familiar TO every
one, although ii was introduced only
about 20 years ago. Yet very probably
there are but few persons who use the
nantes who know how they are made
or what they are made Of. Here is a
brief summary:
Knitting-A thread Of suitable size
is knit inso q tubular fabric on a ma
chine modified from those used in
knitting underwear. A large variety
of stitches is made and designated as
single weave, double weave, triple
weave, tee.
saturating-The lengths OF knitted
fabric are placed in suitable vessel
and the so-called lighting fluid is
poured over them. After the fabric is
soaked in the lighting fluid for GER
tain length of time II is put through
IN equalizer for the purpose of equal
ing the amount of fluid carried by each
web. The fabric is then placed upon
forms of glass or wood and dried.
Sewing-The fabric is now taken
and folded in at one end and carefully
plated and an asbestos cord drawn
through TO form the head and loop Of
the mantle.
Modelling After the head is made.
the saturated fabric is shaped over a
wooden form
Burned Out--The modelled fabric is
then hung on a hook and ignited at
the top. The thread is burned out.

of thoroium and cerium.
Hardening-After the cotton is
burned out the soft, iabby ash isIplaced
over blowpipe. whert the gas and air
are controlled in spch way as TO blow
IL ont TO the form OF a mantle.
Dipping-in order TO prepare the
mantle for the subsequent handling
and for shipment il il dipped into
bath Of collodion and allowed to drv.
Trimming After the collcdionined
nantes are thoroughly dried, they are
passed TO an operator. who trims of
the rough edges Of the skirt and re-
dnces the nantes to a uniform length.
Packing-Loop NANTES are sus.
pended in paper tubes by cords; cap
msntles are mounted on supports and
the supports securely fastened to the
caps Nantes are usually packed in
cartoons Of 50 and raised according to
the size-being shipped usually in 500
