NO MAGIC GOLD FINDER
ITO be continued

There is no instrument that you can
use to discover gold supposed to have
been buried in an iron pot or steel
safety box, writes the Director of the
United States Geological Survey to a
correspondent. Iron ore beds ex-
tending over large areas have been
prospected for with success by means
of the so-called "dip-needle," but this
instrument would not indicate the
presence of single pot or vessel in a
particular spot. Neither is there any
instrument that would indicate the
presence of gold and silver or their
ores. Iron attracts the needle" but
gold and silver, however attractive to
man, are not magnetic.

some day and see his interesting col

He told his guests that Friend Bar

exploring expedition through the thick
forests northward, as far as Onondago
and the shores of Lake Ontario, ac-
companying. an envoy to the Six Ma
lions, in the Province of New York,
and after three months absence re-
turned to Philadelphia with a fine col
lection of specimens.
When they had reached Mr.. Will

Williamson told him why they had
come.
Friend Reuben was pleased with

Marie was rather downcast about it
thinking that she would not get to see
him very often, and Friend William

they left him with Friend Reuben took
her hand as they prepared to return to
the city and said, "Thee does not like
it that thy friend stays on the farm ~

Mrs. Robinson told him, "They have
been so fond of each other, just Like
brother and sister,"
"Oh we'll, my child, thee can ride
out to the farm whenever thee wishes
and thy friend will often come into
the city" So Marie was comforted
and could smile again.

The next day he took them all to
the farm which was not far from the
city. They drove out the road to
Gray's Ferry, Marie riding her pony
and Dannie fine bay saddle horse of
Friend Williamson's. The road led
through the Proprietary's woods some
times called the Governors woods,
which extended from about Eighth
Street to the Schuyllill river and from
Callowhill to South Street in those
days. Passing Bartram's Botanic
Garden, on a portion of his farm on
the west bank of the Schuylkill, then
about four miles from the city, they
soon reached Mr.. Williamson's farm,

fight to defeat the proposal in the bill

Macarthur amendment.

challenge from friends of the measure

eve of the battle both sides still were
claiming victory.
Everything is fine and the bill. as

week. but Chairman Kelley resisted all
attempts to delay. When the measure
was called up to be read, item by item,
the clerk had barely turned a page
when the fight started on the enlisted
personnel question and it ragged un-
ceasingly until night. In the end the

PARLEY HOPES
RISE ASFRENCH
AND SOVIET SUP
Luncheon by British
Premier Epilog to Big
Four Deliberations.
Russians to Be Asked
in Saturday; Germans
Not Party to Topic.

Genoa. April 14.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. THE bolshevik dele,
gates and the representatives Of
France to the economic conference
broke bread together Friday at the
residence Of Premier Lloyd George and
there has been an appreciable rise, as
a consequence, in the expectations that
the conference may have good results
even in the most pessimistic quarters
heer.
The occasion for the meeting of the
soviet and French delegates at a table
was conference which began at 1890
O'Clock Friday morning and lasted
throughout the day. in whcih French,
Russian. Belgian, italian and British
representatives participated and dur
ing which Lloyd George invited all of
them to luncheon.
Followed Russian Round Table
The meeting was called by Lloyd
George for discussion of the Russian
problems, with the purpose of clearing
up uncertain points of the London ex-
perts' report before the Russian pres
ent their final reply to it.
This carrying of the most vital part
of the business of the conference into
such an informal gathering. where per-
sonaf contact may possibly remove
much of the animosity that has been
displayed in the public sessions. has
created general feeling in conference
circles that a compromise may be ar
ranged on the Russian problem which
will afford satisfactory working basis
for the reconstruction of Russia.
Russia Must Pledge Debts
The keynote of the allied position at
the conference Friday was that Russia
first must satisfy past pledges before
obtaining any concessions for the fu-
ture. In other words RussiA must
recognize the debts of the czarist gov
ernment before soviet claims against
the allies can be entertained.
Saturday morning the experts Of the
four inviting powers who were present
at Fridays meeting, again will gather
at Lloyd Georges villa, and in the
afternoon they probably will be joined
by the principal delegates of the five
countries. Germany has not been
asked to attend these private confer
ences. as she was not party to the
making Of the London experts report.
The Strengthening out of the moot
points in the report will be effected at
informal meetings before Germany is
called in. 1t has been expected that
Russia would make her reply to the re-
port Of the experts Saturday, but this
reply now has been postponed indefi-
nitely.
Anticipated Reform, Say Soviets
The Russians have caused state
ment TO be circulated through NJ.
Rakovsky, the Ukranian premier and
other delegates, to the effect that Rus
sia already has enacted laws and made
court reforms and regulations affecting
foreigners residing in Russia which
meet many Of the criticisms of the
London experts report regarding the
soviet government, and that they also
have expressed willingness to ac-
knowledge pre-war debts and signified
their purpose to erase their claims
against the allies arising from the
operations OF the Wrangel. Denekin
and Yudenitch armies against the
soviet regime if the allied war claims
against Russia are wiped out.

Beardstown, Ill.,. April 14.-(By The
Associated Pressp.-Exodus of the
homeless from the flooded city Of
Beardstown started Friday.
Habitable houses are cramped.
Three fourths of the people are home
less. Water has risen above all previ-
Gus records and has developed a menac-
ing current through the streets. which
with the added evidence of quicksand,
caused the first outward signs of
anxiety on the part of the people.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad, the only one remaining in
operation. had a gang of section work
men building their tracks higher in
the hope that they may survive the
floods crest
Election Polls Under Water
When that is reached and the flood
commences recession. all the after
effects of a flood are anticipated.
vision Of work then would be turned
over completely to the state depart
ment of health.
Uniforms of the Salvation Army
were seen Friday in the lowest habit
able parts of the city and workers
carried doughnuts by boat to second
story dwellers and to the 500 or more
living huddled in tents.
Politics and quicksand were the
principal cause of Fridays first MUIR
murings. Next Tuesday is election
day and candidates for aldermen in five
city wards view with perplexity the
fact that polling places in those wards
are under water.
Boat Travel Only Safe
Quicksand beneath the city. which
has been quiescent until stirred to ac-
t:vity by river water, dragged down two
large houses and engulfed brick pave
ments in different parts of the city,
so that travel by foot is no longer safe.
Boots and boats were the two means
of travel in the city Thursday. Friday
night there is only one safe way-by
boat.
Reports of the suffering of farmers
in the flooded districts about the city
told of countless livestock drowned.
Some farmers saved their chickens by
taking them to the hay lofts of their
barns. but were unable to save their
hogs.
