NEW YORK, July 10.-Productlon

1t is explained that the curtailment

well as to the closing down OF fac

Automotive Industries in the cur

The postwar consumption of mems

to decrease in population resulting
from territorial losses is the reason.

Brought to the Hospital in the

After an S. o. S. was flashed out over
hundreds of miles of Panama jungles
by the dispatch of native runner
more than seventy-five miles TO the
nearest telegraph station, three United
States army airplanes penetrated the
wilderness 800 miles and rescued Mrs.
Helen I. Gaige, wife of Prof. Frederick
NJ. Gaige of the University of Michl-
gan, 1t was learned upon the arrival OF
the couple at New York.
Professor and Mrs. Gaige left this
country last February with the inten-
tion Of remaining In the jungle 1S
months to study reptiles. They had
gone hundreds of miles and were near
the border OF Costa Rica when Mrs.
Gaige was wounded by nm accidental
discharge of her shotgun. Her hus-
band administered first aid and dis
patched a runner to little settlement
named David, about seventyfive miles

MINERS SEEK GOLDEN VEINS
Nuggets Goes Not Always lndi-
cate Rich Deposits.

In rugged, out of-the-way region on
the ocean side Of the coast ranges, In
Monterey county, California, gold mug
gets have been found of such size us to
suggest that this was once favorite
retreat of the proverbial goose that laid
the golden eggs.
Matter-of-fnct prospectors, however,
have sought to find the veins from
which such masses of gold. loosened by
the weather, were washed into the
stream beds. Their search has not
been successful, and ]. NJ. Hill, Unit
ed States geologist Of the Department
of the Interior, In report just pub
lished, suggests that the nuggets came
from rich superficial pockets in very
small veins, and that no large and rich
deposits are likely TO be found by deep
mining.
The coast ranges Of California, un-
like the Sierra Nevada, are not rich in
gold, and the occurrence of these large
nuggets is exceptional and illustrates
the fact, known to many prospectors,
that the discovery Of few large mug
gets does not necessarily indicate the
existence OF a rich deposit of gold ore
near the place.

Wc.aEH OF THE OLD SOUTH
Had by No Means Life OF ldIenees,
Since Their Domestic Duties
Were Many.

There Is still widespread conception
that the wives of the ante-belum
southern planters led life of ease
and idleness. Such was far from the
truth, says writer in the New York
Sun. Woman played vital part in
the old southern economic system, a
role which kept her busy and loaded
her with grave responsibilities.
She was the head of the domestic
side of the plantation life. Not only
did she supervise the housework OF
the mansion, but she had to look after
the servants quarters as well. AS for
the slaves, their food, their clothing,
their health were under her care.
1t is related that dstlnguishel 4
foreign diplomat was astonished, whea
visiting Mount Vernon, to find Mrs.
Washington surrounded by negro girls
from ten to fifteen years old, busily
knitting stockings for the slaves of the
plantation.
Thus was the sphere of the south.

important sphere, so far as it went,

ORIGIN OF HUMANE SOCIETIES
According to Records, They Were First
Instituted In England About
Century Ago.

Humane societies are celebrating the
fact that laws for the protection Of
animals have been in existence for 100
years. In 1922 an act Of parliament
was passed In England which provided
for punishment for the "ill treat
ment of cattle" and the act was intro
duced by u man named Richard Mar
tin, who was called Humanity Mar
tin" because OF his introduction and
support OF this law. Naturally the
passage of the bill brought great
deal of opposition.
The opponents wanted to know why
the punishment should not be inflicted
for boiling Holsters and eating live
oysters. Martin not only passed the
law, but was the first complainant un-
der it. He found driver who was
mercilessly beating donkey. The
poor animal was dragged into court,
and very much to the surprise Of the
court room crowd, the driver was
found guilty.
Two years after the passage of the
act Martin organized the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals" J"
Queen Victoria later approved Of the
organization, and added the word
Royal" to the title, and Americans
derive their own Society for the Pre-
ventien Of Cruelty to Animals from
this excellent example.

RVETs SHOT THROUGH HOSE
Compressed Air Device 10 Now Large
iy Taking the Place Of
Passing by Hand.

For years 1t has been the common
passing rivets by hand. This method
not only has been expensive but has
been accompanied by many dangers.
Now we have perfected system Of
distributing -red-hot rivets by COM
pressed air through flexible metallic
hose.
This new apparatus consists Of
compressed air gun and storage tank,
In addition to the metal hose which
leads from the forge to the elevator.
with this plan the forgeman draws the
heated rlvet from the fire, drops It into
a receptacle at the end Of the hose,
and here the weight OF the rivet opens
a valve that again closes automatical-
ly. Immediately the forgeman's foot
on pedal applies the force of the
compressed air, and the rivet Is shot
through the hose to the place where
it is to be used, arriving free from
scale and without any possibility of
accident.
In actual practice red-hot rlvets
have been thus carried 125 feet in
seven seconds, with an air pressure
of less than four pounds. In addition
to the advantage Of greater safety,
this method has shown 20 per cent
saving in the cost Of operation

RENEWED INTEREST RESULT
OF PRESIDENTS VISIT

Denvevr, July 2.-Renewed interest
in Republican principles and better
understanding of the Accomplishments
of the national administration are ap-
parent in Colorado as a result Of
President Harding's visit, according
to Republican leaders from all parts
of the state who came to Denver last
week to welcome the chief executive.
In his Denver address the President,
in clear-cut fashion, made it evident
that the Republican party stood and
would continue to stand four-square
on the prohibition question. The
forcefulness of the Presidents state
monts inswhich he detailed the bene-
fetal effects of the prohibition amend
ment, condemned those who sought
to evade it, and declared that the
amendment itself would continue to
remain the law of the land, met with
immediate response from his audience
which was composed of persons from
all sections of Colorado. many whom
had travelled hundreds Of miles to hear
the President.
On the morning before his address
several out-oftown Republican Lead
ers, including number of county
chairmen, who had dropped into the
state headquarters, were accorded per-
sonal interviews with the President.
The statements which he made in
Denver are regarded as among the
most important which the President
has uttered so far on his $4,000 mile
journey. In addition TO his prohibi-
tion declaration, the chief executive
in an address to disabled soldiers at
Fitzsimmons hospital, made it clear
that the administration will continue
to the fullest extent the task of car
ing for those injured as a result Of
service in the war. ~.1as 9y1
Added interest attached to Presi-
dent Harding's visit by the fact that
he was accompanied by two Colorado
ans who were members of his person
al party, DR.. Hubert Work, of Pueblo,
Secretary of the Interior. and w. j..
Donald, Of Leadville, secretary to DR..
Work. Mr.. Donald formerly was sec
retary to the late Senator Samuel d.
Nicholson. DR.. Work visited with
scores of old friends who called on
the secretary OF interior during his
stay in Denver In a newspaper in
torview, DR.. Work announced that the
reclamation Offices would be retained
in Denver and that thru this branch
the government would continue its
work OF making possible the cultiva-
tion Of thousands more acres Of Colo
