National Museum Gets opals.

The National museum In Washing
ton has just received from Archie
Rice, an opal expert In New York,
100 specimens Of gem opal In the
rough just as they come from the
only opal mines in the United States.
The opals are red. white, blue. black.
brown. green and purple; two have
replaced fossil wood. and three pos
sibly fossil bones.
The mine Is located In Humboldt
county. Nevada, about mile above
sea level and some 200 miles inland
from the Pacific; not very accessible,
since the railroad town Of Winnie
mncca is about 40 miles away. Be
cause of the high altitude, the or
binary water content OF the opals is
often injuriously affected when they
are removed from the ground.
Thus far, excavation for opals has
gone only to a depth Of 20 or 30 feet

 THE GIRL ON THE JOB How to Succeed-How to Get : Ahead-How to Make Good By JESSIE ROBERTS
THE JOY OF A JOB.

" OU can just about divide people ! into two groups-those who love their work. and those who don't.
 For most of us our work is the chief part of our life. It Is up to us to choose the sort of work that we are going to like. No amount of money can repay you for unhappiness hours daily spent doing something you dis like are unhappy hours.
 But the truth Is that the woman who is enjoying her work usually makes more at 1t than she would at other work. She brings enthusiasm to 1t, and improves possibilities that she wouldn't even see if she didn't love what she did.
 In choosing your work you are in a large degree choosing your life. You aren't going to be able to choose a second time as far as that goes. To waste most of 1t in doing disagree. able or lonesome work Is a vast pity
 Many women have been doing new and interesting work. have heard dozens of women announce that they would never return to the jobs they had filled before answering the call Of their country. Many had done only routine work. and hated office life. Such women are determined not to fall back into the rut.
 The salary is not everything in a job. You, yourself. are more impor- tant than any salary. When you plan for job. study for it, seek 1t, remember yourself. Look for joy in your job. as much as for money. It will pay you double measure.

TOLD SOME WEIRD TaLEo
O!d-Time Prospectors Responsible fer HEir-Raising Descriptions of
 Desert Adventures,

1 wonder what has become of that good old character of the Southwest, the mining prospector? I see him no more, either here or Ill the smaller cit ies of the desert-only occasionally at the movies, and then not always true to life.
 The prospector was given to TO- mancing And what a field he had to work in. Why, in the good old days there was not a romancer in the en- tire Southwest but cherished beyond measure the Colorado desert, for no matter how great a story he might unwind, if he located it in the des- ert, it was safe, for no one lived there to prove it false.
 Well do l remember the chagrin of a certain prospector when he was over- reached by two story-tellers in his own field. He told a good one himself, about finding spring of natural ink in the desert, but another prospector dec Orated the story still further by de- Scribing a mine of natural pens he had run across. That would have been all right if it had been allowed to drop there, but a third prospectOr dropped into town a few days later and placidly related the incident of his discovering an asbestos mine from which he could peel sheets of natural blotting paper. That seemed to be too much for the prospector of the first part, who mOped around town for a few days and then disappeared for couple of months. We all knew that something would happen, and sure enough it did.
 In due time No. 1 returned to the city, and 1 hesitate to tell the story that he unrolled. He said he had found a spring of natural gin. According to the prospector, all the animals ol the vicinity were given to drinking from the spring, and in consequence there was a merry round of pleasure among them all, except when they occasion ally retired from the scene to sleep off the horrors of swollen heads.
 Then Mo- ? appeared, and he, too, had had an inspiration. Out on the Chocolate mountains, while following drift of quartz, he had been led into an invisible city. where he could hear all the noises of busy mart of trade, and occasionally collided with the wall of sky-scraping building which he could not see. He could hear the rum- ble of street cars but he could not see them, and he was in mortal terror of being run over, and made his escape as quickly as possible.
 That beautiful story. never yet proved to be false, held It's own for years, and when No. appeared lit. tie later and related what he thought was sockdolager the general public apparently did not think 1t an i'm. provement. The story of the latest ar. rival was that he had found on the desert an invisible serpent with glass cup instead of a rattle, and when the serpent was alarmed the cup revolved, producing exquisite music. And that story has never yet been proved false. -E F. Howe in the Los Angeles Ex-

NEGROES TO BE ELECTROCUTED

Little Rock, May 2.-Six of the ne- groes convicted of participation in the Elaine riots in Phillips county in October 1920 must pay the penalty of their crime in the electric chair on Friday June 10. A proclamation to this effect has been issued by Gov ernor McRae, who has declined to in terfere with the judgment of the courts by granting communication or other clemency. Those who will be electrocuted on that date are J. E.. Knox, Ed Coleman, Paul Hall, Frank Hicks, Ed Hicks and Frank Moore.
 There are six others, Ed Ware, John Martin, Joe Fox, Albert Giles, Will Wardlow and Alex Banks. who have been twicec convicted and whose cases are pending in Philips county on retrial.
 The F negroes were first sentenced to death on May II, 1920, to be electro cuted July 23. The cases have at tracted national attention because of the activity of negro organizations and sympathizers in the north with the negroes. They have, however, been given the fullest and fairest possible trials, and Governor McRae does not feel that he would be warranted in taking any other action than that which he has taken.
