power of attorney. which gave her
complete control of his estate, subse-
quent to the disappearance of Schick
February 7, has been made public
by District Attorney c. C. Kemp
ley.
Both Clark and his wife were i'm
plicated in the alleged forgery. ac-
cording to the confession. Mrs.
Clark assumed a more important
role than she has hitherto held in
the Schick mystery, due to her por-
trayal in the confession as the as
serted instigator of the alleged free
love relationship between Clark and
Mrs. SchiclS.
Mrs. Schick. according to the con-
fession, said that she performed the
actual forgery after Clark had
shown her the method and tina Mrs.
Clark was present at the time and
urged her to go on and do it."
The confession was made in
Sheriff Byers' office several days
age. supplementary to Mrs. Schlck's
testimony before the grand jury that
is probing the circumstances sur
rounding Schick's disappearance.

The Little Things
By S. E. kiser

THE little things contribute much
To help avoid stagnation;
A little baby's tender touch
May turn the sinner to salvation;
A little word two of praise
May reawaken dead ambition;
little drink of bootleg stuff
May blind man be enough
To start him Keeling to perdtOn.
A LITTLE kindness often pays;
"A A little help where help is needed
May bring rewards or brighten days
From which the sunshine has receded;
little patience and then
May regret or shame or sorrow;
little thoughtful effort now
May help to keep your wrnked brow
From having deeper lines tomorrow
A LITTLE ink spilled from pen
"A May cause a girl, day, to sue you;
The little love notes. fellow men,
May bring large chunks of trouble to you;
The little scratch that you ignore
May later be a serious matter:
The little, ugly word you speak
May your nose to spring a leak.
And always afterward be flatter.
BUT THAT DOESN'T SETTLE ANYTHING.

KATANGA, A LAND OF CALICO MONEY
Savage African Island InclOSed by
 Network Of Motor Roads

Washington. D. C.. June 29-"Plans to connect Katanga. in the Belgian | Congo, with west Africa coast port. emphasize the extreme range of civilization in this mid-continent colony" says bulletin from the Washington, D. C.. headquarters of the National Geographical society.
 Motor roads network a region where campers still build fires by night to ward off the lions. and where native savages chant. white man, white man. we'll dance tomor- row with your head on the end of a spear
 "Bantu tribesmen do business with calico money; Elizabethville, the col ony's capital has both a Belgian and an English bank, seven hotels. five | hospitals, and it's streets, avenues and boulevard would do credit to a | European city.
 Bicycle Vehicle of Pioneers.
 Railroad building in Katanga is in keeping with the excellent com munications rapidly established in an area not long ago called Africa's most ! inaccessible part. The Congo Colony has the natural advantage of the 10,- l 900 miles of navigable waters afford ed by the Congo river and its tribu- taries,
 Steel rails and macadam highways supplement these water routes, but it is to the humble bicycle that Belgian Congo owes its initial development. The tsetse fly was an effective bar to domestic animals. hence pioneer whites first carved out wheel tracks instead ot bridle paths
 The present rail outlet from the katanga interior is the line from Bukama to Cape Town and to Beira, on the East Coast, The project now under way will link Bukama to the Benguella railway, already running into Angola from Lamito Bay.
 Has Famous Copper Belt.
 This shorter haul has a world in- terest as anw one realizes who has watched Congos river craft laden with palm oil, cocoanuts, ivory. rub Der and sugar.
 'Once the Coigo river bed was an inland sea, but even then the katan- ga plateau was high and dry Today much of Katanga, which is as large as California and South Carolina to- gether is free from the tsetse fly. | hence cattle thrive there. The soil is fertile. However katanga's chief as- set in the eyes of modern states is her mines, particularly her famous copper belt. Tin, iron and coal also are mined and gold is found.
 Even in modern Eliza bethville representatives are in evidence of the two million or more Bantu natives, who range from jungle head hunters and the forest pygmies to the Swa- hill language group whose literature has been the subject of close study. The cthnoogist holds the Congi's chief riches to be in natives whose tribes. languages and development stages are exceptionally diverse.
 ITO the layman on a street cor ner of Katanga's capital the passing show of natives has the interest of a man who wears ivory rings on his fingers, the woman with | , metal circlet in her nose, the people | who file their front teeth to a point, ! some who subsist on arrow root and | others who hunt game with poisoned l arrows For the expert these types | lave a deeper interest. Each is a | chapter in the fascinating story of hu- nan progress"
