San tFraicsco, March 1S.-IIis life
slogan had been: Don't weaken!
What is age? Courage is the thing
Refuse to be beaten!''
so when, at the age of 65, Francis
M. ("Borax'') Smith found that his
$20,000,OOO fortune was gone and that
he was nos only "broke" but in debt
to the tune Of several millions, ne
didn't contemplate suicide Nor did
he quit.
Today at the age Of 73 he is master
of another fortune Of several millions
and fighting with both fists to regain
his lost title of 'Borax King" And
il he runs true to form he's likely
to get it.
How He Started.
An accident, occurring when he was
%, caused "Borax" Smith to adopt his
fighting philosophy. He had purchas.
ed small timber claim in Nevada
and taken a contract to supply with
fuel a Nevada mine. One day he re-
turned to find four Mexicans and an
Indian, all armed, cutting down his
wood. Smith had but four cartridges
and q rifle. But, thought he, the in
truders did not know that. Did he
dare tackle five Of them?
Don't weaken" said his courage.
He fired two shots The tresspassers
fed.
1t was from this timber claim that
he first saw upon adjacent desert the
I4broad white streaks that later We're to
make his first fortune. His borax dis
covery meant little if "you weakened"
There was but little demand for 1t and
the price was high. About 600 tons a
year was used, he recalls. as
News Of his discovery caused a ter
rife slump 81 in value. a.l His associates

"a Smith Sticks. IL :
Don't weaken!" said his Courage.
Smith stuck. He accumulated a for.
tune Of some $25,000,O00, but only
after he had l0ne-handedly packed
borax out of the desert and created a
big market for It,
Then, with q large income to in
vest, Smith became interested in a
fast ferry system between San Fran
cisco and Oakland which, It is held,
practically made the city of Oakland. :.
Huge expenditures, were involved and
the railroad competition came. AT
the age of IS he had developed cities,
but lost his fortune and plunged into
debt.
Don't weaken!" said his courage.
He saw his, borax holdings sold to
pay loans. But also he recalls that
many years back he had been one OF
company interested In silver
claim, that, to all appearances, would
not produce. Smith had thought dif'
ferently and put in 100000. taking
stock in payment. This tle had
turned over to his wife just before
the crash came. And now in his ex-

tremity, the mine was coming to his
rescue.
Stakes All-Wins.
He at once went after borax de-.
posits in the Searles Lake region, Sc
cured leases after a hard fglt in
washington and made the mine pay
for his initial equipment. If it failed
the mine was lost-and there was
some reason to believe that it might.
Just then came word that three pros
pectors had found a borax mine in
Nevada, near the Grand Canyon. He
rode 80 miles on horseback into the
desert to get there. He didn't have
time to appraise the property, for
competitors were in the field. He
had to act at once and only upon his
judgment.
Don't weaken?" said his courage.
He closed the deal for a quarter of
million. And he was 73. II he
judged wrong his last card was gone.
He took the mine while astonished
rivals looked on:
Today his firm announces that
there is $24,000G00 worth of borax in
sight there.
So he has no cause to regret his
slogan Courage is the thing!' What

Constantinople. Oct. 5.-The Mu.
dania peace conference apparently
has achieved remarkable success In
solving difficult preliminary prob
lens of the Near East.
Official announcement of the sign
ing of protocol providing for the
return of the Turks to Eastern
Thrace coincidentally with their
withdrawal from the neutral zones
near the straits was momentarily ex-
pected here.
The way has been paved for final
conference at which Mustapha Kemal
and Allied leaders will agree upon
disposition of disputed Near East
territory and the threat of a holy
war removed.
The turning point at the secret
parley at Mudania came when Allied
representatives were convinced that
the Turks genuinely desired to re-
turn to Eastern Thrace for peaceful
occupation of their former territory.
When they conceded this point, the
Kemalist representatives became inn
mediately conciliatory and agreed not
only to withdrawal of their troops
from the neutral zones east of the
Straits, but to the proposal that
Turkish forces should not enter
Thrace until after the final peace
conference.
The Allies are to remain i'll con-
troll of Thrace, from which the
Greeks will be requested to with
draw, until sound Turkish admin
istration can be set up. 1t is estl-
mated this will take a month.
One stumbling block appeared to
remain today in the path of com.
plete agreement; namely, Greek OPP
position to the plan. Although
Venizelos at London, and certain in
fluential leaders at Athens have ac-
cepted the promise that Greece must
give up Eastern Thrace, wave OF
artificial fervor has swept many
Greek extremists to arms with a
battle cry Of fighting to the last
man to retain their present hold on
what was formerly Turkey-in-
Europe.

AR0USES GREEKS

Athens, Oct. 5.-The torch of war
was carried through the streets OF
Athens today as volunteers OF all
ages and classes crowded recruiting
offices answering a call to arms to
retain Thrace for Greece.
Indignation stirred by fanatical
speakers, ran high upon reports
that Mudania conference had decid-
ed upon Grecian evacuation of
Thrace and the handing over of a
portion of Europe to the Turks.
A report spread that Mustapha
Kemal had again started hurried
conscription of troops in Asia Minor.
1t was also reported that Venizelos
had counselled the Greek cabinet
not to agree to evacuation of Thrace
Neither of these reports was con.
firmed.

showing the Irish rebel leader is fed
up" with his losing fight against the
Free State, and withdrawal today OF
British warships from Irish waters,
coincidental with sweeping Free
State military victories raised hopes
here that the insurrection against
the provisional government is about
at an end.
The Daily Mail of London. which
publishes an edition here, prints what
purports to be correspondence from
the former president of the Irish Re-
public, showing that De Valera is
anxious to quit. The rebel attack
has for some time lacked fire, and
yesterday 23 irregulars were killed
and 80 wounded in a battle with Ma
tional troops at Killorglin in County
Kerry.

The figures show that the senior
high has made the greatest growth
in the period covered by the report.
The enrolment there has increased
over 100 per cent in the past four
years.
An estimate, based on past in
ereases and upon the growth Ill
prospect this year, indicates that
the enrolment at the senior high
school next year would run at least
$50.
"There is absolutely no place at
the senior high to care for $50 stu
dents" said Mr.. Montgomery.
Following the filing of the report
by the city superintendent, the
board of education instructed him
to draw UP tentative plans and sug-
gestions for more facilities and ex-
tensions to handle the increased en-
rollment and relieve the congested
conditions of the schools next year.
The report Of Superintendent
Montgomery showed the average
number of pupils per teacher at the
various schools as follows: Senior
high, 27: Junior high, 81; North

Attendance is the best 1t mas
ever been and all schools are crowd

have four more pupils than we have
desks and at the Northwest school,
we have fifteen more pupils than
we have desks.

remedy the situation, nineteen 9th
