HUNTING MOTHER LODE
(By United PreDD)

Racine, Wisc.,l Sept 30-When
glaciers crept down from the north,
gouging out the great lakes and up
set primitive topography, they left
a trail of old which Hugo Meyers,
geologist, expects to follow in an at
tempt to locate the mother lode.
Gold nuggets, worth as much as
$40 apiece, have been found on the
DR.. Harrison farm near Canton Ill.
Biologists explained that the gold
has been carried south by glaciers
during the ice age.
On mis- annual prospecting tour
recently completed through Wisconsin
and Illinois, Meyers found $50 worth
of gold.
"The trail is fairly we'll defined"
he said. "It is litered with gold and
with diamonds. Biologists advance
the theory that the glaciers swept
accross the source, or mother lode
somewhere in the far north and car
ried the nuggets south"
Meyers is preparing for his next
journey into the north country. He
recently returned from Yukon where
he completed preliminary steps Of
his plan to prospect for the mother
lode.

LUMBER MARKET REPORT
REVEALS BRISK DEMAND

The demand for. lumber continues
brisk, but, because manufacturers
can not take all the business Offered
to them, it is impossible to say how
large the demand is. Bookings are
limited to the ability to ship, and,
inasinuch as most manufacturers have
good sized order files and are getting
very few cars, the volume of new
business which can be accepted is
very limited. In the South particu-
larly, car shortage is being keenly
felt, many mills not receiving in ex-
cess of 20 percent of the number of
cars needed. While on the Pacific
coast the car shortage is very severe,
the mills are able to ship more stock
largely becauce they use the water
route to the Atlantic coast.
Retail lumbermen as rule report
good business, tho here and there
slumps have been occasioned by ces-
sationl of manufacturing activities
brought about by the fuel shortage.
Alert retailers are laying plans to
push aggressive campaigns this fall
for the sale of storm door and sash,
which, when properly fitted mater
tally cut down the consumption of
coal and this winter can help people
combat the fuel shortage. Lumber
prices, according to the American
Lumberman, remain very firm with
here and there an upward tendency.

CROWDINC ON TRUCKS
DANGEROUS PRACTICE

Attention has been called to, the
fact that a large number Of school
pupils are endangering their lives
and placing responsibility on truck
drivers through their consistent riding
on auto. trucks on their way to; school.
1t is reported that number of these
trucks, loaded completely with school
students, in many cases a number Of
them just hanging on the side, have
been racing up AID down Beltrami
avenue. This pracoi,e is discouraged
by school authorities and efforts are
being made to prevent further
crowding on trucks. ~
Owners of these trucks are liable
under the law for any mishap to the
occupants, and letters are being sent
to those who are known to the
school officials in order to bring to
their attention the liability OF con-
tinuing this practice. Parents are al
so asked to put malt tc this danger

Wellesley Hills, Mass, Sept. 30
Since the settlement of the railroad
strike many tips have come from
Wall Street relative to the purchase
of railroad securities. Relative to
these recommendations Roger w.
Babson issued the following state
ment:
"There is no doubt but that the
settlement of the railroad strike is
favorable to general business. Ow-
ing to the coal situation, such set
tlement was absolutely necessary.
Moreover it has been more or less
favorable to the railroads. The wage
workers have gone back at the rates
determined by the Rail Road Labor
Board and most of those who went
on strike are sorry that they did it.
The seniority question was settled on
$3.50 basis, neither side claiming
victory. This also is we'll for all
concerned because the railroads are
now able to restore seniority rights

CAPITAL CITY SEEKING i
SAFETY OF PEDESTRIAN
Denials Of Auto Operators
Permits to Incapables
Are Now Numerous

, Washington Sept. 80 Capital
News Service)-The police authori-
ties in the Capital City are using to
the full the powers given them to ap-
prove or deny operators license
cards to applicants. During the month
Just passed twenty per cent OF those
who applied were refused permission
to drive a car. Five hundred and six
ty people who thought they could op-
crate an automobile were undeceived
by the police, who demanded a prac-
tical demonstration Of ability as well
as knowledge of police regulations.
With automobile accidents increas-
ing daily because of congested traffic
conditions and large numbers. OF
cars, both business and pleasure,
police departments in other cities are
watching with much interest the
drastic rules enforced in the. Nations
Capital. Until recently in most NUM-
cipalities the "examination" consist
ed of am oral statement OF a few
elementary TulcS u tIAC Ao0u r oAo
ability to say which end of the auto
mobile was in front. In Washington
the applicant for a license card is
now required to drive his car IN
downtown traffic with an exper-
inced police driver by his side, and
thus to demonstrate his or her ability
to- handle a ton or more Of moving
steel with safety to himseH and to
pedestrians. Many who Apply have
had but few lessons" liz 'sautonno-
bile driving, and while they = know
perfectly we'll how to start, stop and
steer a car, are unable to utilize that
knowledge quickly and effectively
when confronted with a. crowded
street and heavy jam Of other We
hicles. -
AS the number of deaths from col
lisions with automobiles and pedes-
TRANS is decreasing in Washington,
while the number Of automobiles in
creases, it is evident that the enforce
ment of the examination provisions
of the police regulations is having a
good effect.
