GOLD DISCOVERED IN
 HILLS OF ILLINOIS

FREEPORT, III. Dec. 3.-Mining for gold in the rocky hills of North western Illinois is expected to begin in the near future as the result of the discovery of gold in Stephenson county, just west of the village of Pear! City.
 A corporation is being formed to exploit 1900 acres Of land in that region because of the belief that vast quantities of gold may be had fer tho taking.
 According to promoters of the company, ore taken from a depth of from thiyty to fifty feet has produced from $11 to SIS ton in gold
 Traces of gold were first discov- cr"t on the Weimor farm. near Pearl City more than year ago The find was made by well diggers. Wm. Woimcr. owner of the farm. sought r. interest men with money in the gold prospects but failed His widow however, was more successful. cspe- c;aIiy when, recently. the crop of ducks raised on the Weimer place were found to contain small bits of gold ore.

 "I make bold to say that, in my opinion, the remedy for the ills Alaska has suffered from is as follows:
 Repeal of the Jones bill dealing with shipments to Alaska; repeal of the conservation laws governing coal and oil; reduction of freight rates; increased shipping and modern ships, and last, but not least, freedom of Alaska under separate administra- tion."

Kale after the March showing
dana by shells from the allied fleet

But even the evasion usually cost mo-
mentary pause, and that silence of itself
loudly proclaimed the preposterous pretence
of ii all.
One day the fleet ventured close enough
to draw fire. For the German gunners it
was the first action in six months, and they
cheered in a frenzy as they sent some OF
their priceless shells screeching over the
water to the warships nine miles away. IL
was an hour of conflicting emotions, in which
the Joy of doing strove against the sense OF
doom For the shells were lost save for the
categorical lie they told the enemy about a
well stocked fort there, at the distant mar
rows
week later came the great attack. The
entire fleet steamed into the Straits and
without further delay commenced doing
what was expected of it. namely. forcing the
narrows. For seven hours Tchanak Kale
and Kiid Bahr and Dardanus, town. forts
and the hills about, were subjected to the
most powerful bombardment of land posi-
ton from the sea in modern history.
The forts responded firing sparingly from
their long range guns. more frequently from
the shorter range pieces with older shells

made in the United States when the great
army of drafted men were assembled In
camps preparatory to being sent overseas.
On orders from Surgeon General Gorgas,
psychiatrists examined 100000 men in the
camps. There were rejected as high as
per cent. of the men in one regiment as
mentally unfit for military service. This
high percentage was from a regiment from
the mountain section of Southern State.
The lowest percentage of rejection for men
tai causes was about l " per cent, and this
Il is interesting TO note. was from New YORK
city In fact, the problem of the mental de-
fectives and the insane is most serious In
the more backward country districts.
The result of this careful examination of
the mentality of men sent overseas was that
.he United States had fewer cases of what
has come to be known as shell shock" than
any other country. In Canada, for instance,
the majority Of the soldiers invalided home
in the first years of the war were shell
shock victims. The term shell shock does
not necessarily mean that the victim ever
even heard the detonation of an enemy
shell. Some of the shell shock victims were
sent home from camps, others were attacked
while on shipboard and others in training
camps in England. It simply means that
there are hundreds of young men who are
so constituted that they cannot adjust to
military restraint and the routine OF camp
and army life
DR.. william j. Mayo recently gave the
figures showing the result of the mental ex-
animation of 1900 900 men in the draft army
Of the United States. These figures show
that only per cent. Of the men examined

find they are imbeciles. idiots or subnormals,
why not treat them as irresponsible persons

ticians appreciate this fact and as group
consider the political influence of persons
of the highest intelligence to be negligible.
"Many men elected to office would like
to act wisely and in the interest Of the
public, but they receive no actual support
from the so-called upper class and thus are
forced to become politicians and appeal to
the lower class. The men elected to our
Legislatures may be said to be of at least
average mentality. To be effective power
and responsibility must go together. While
the legislators have great responsibilities
they have little power to act independently.
The power which controls them is the organ
liable political power which represents the
lower order of intelligence. We should not
complain If the least intelligent exercise the
privilege OF the ballot. Rather let us say
that they appreciate the ballot more than
the so-called intelligent and In this respect
at least are better Americans.

This survey shows that there were on
January 1, 1920, 232. $50 persons with mental

States-40,515 mental detectives, 1887 epi-

For New York State the figures are
Patients with mental diseases in hospitals,
3s ,903 mental detectives, 5,762, epileptics

These figures mean that out of each 10000
of population the state of New York has
in institutions 3746 patients with mental
diseases and 55.5 mental detectives.
