SAN FRANCISCANS
DIG FOR GOLD IN

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2.-The
backyard gold mine, convenient
arrangement whereby the mortgage
on the bungalow may be paid off
by little prowling around the
flower garden with pick and shovel,
is the city s latest.
II. A. Morse. gcologist, will begin
operations on major scale
in an exclusive residential district
in the immediate future, he an
nounced, following discovery and
satisfactory assay of an abandon
ed mine on Mount Davidson.
Moore has optioncd the property
for Il quarter million dollars. <s
Meanwhile. San Franciscans liv-
ing in the neighborhood :, are busy
charging easements, digging be-
meath back porches and even stldy-
ing the possibilities of little gar
den hose placer mining
Davidson property developed the
fact that it was stakcd out and
worked as paving mine bv three
prospectors in the early SOS.
The prospectori, Jimmy MvDer-
mott. Howard Tomlinson ard Joe
Shaw, stampeded away. however,
to the Dutch Flat hydraulic dig
gings.
Morse, who had charge of min
ing property in Mexico, discovered
the old McDcrmott shafts and as
saved the tailings. The initial ana
lysis showed $11 to the ton, he said.
and subsequent assays are claimed
to have increased the figure.
Interested, Morse entered the
shafts themselves. and after re-
owning numerous cave.ins found
enough unmined ore in sight to
warrant his optioning- the tract.
Incorporation articles are being
prepared for Morse and his asso-
ciatcs. preliminary to beginning
mining operations on Il large scale,
it was announced.
Meanwhile, individual bootleg
miners are turning lawns upside
down in the surrounding residential
territory, bending inconvenient gas
and water pipes. and apparently
preparing to blast blockading sew
ers if "color' shows.

FOURTH OF JULY VICTIMS

scum of Safety and the National Committee for the
Prevention of Blindness fireworks celebrations killed
Ill persons and injured 1880 Others These figures
based reports from 500 cities in SO states They
are therefore far from complete In some southern
states where there is little restriction fireworks
statistics at all were obtainable
1t is interesting to note, however, that wherever
statistics available the greatest number of acci
dents in towns where the safe and Fourth
is not yet established and where states make ser
attempt to control the sale of fireworks. For the
reason smaller communities suffered than
larger
The agencies which have been checking up
these figures in years believe that if record
had been kept of Fourth of July casualties since 1876
it would be shown that people have been killed
and wounded in celebrating independence Day than
were killed and wounded in the whole Revolutionary
War.

THE CLUTTER OF THINGS

good deal has been said lately about leisure
and its proper 1t has been said that people al
ready have too much idle time which is so poorly
joyed that it does not deserve the agreeable of
leisure Sarah Cleghorn, writing in The Survey,
makes two noteworthy suggestions along this line.
"We need' she writes communal leisure. We
need single persons separately released from their
for few minutes but communal holiday
heart We need widespread blitheness, that
centrate together in gay creative impulse, and
bloom into art
She suggests two things that stand in the way of
general enjoyment of such leisure. The first is
nomic insecurity. Too many workers afraid of los
ing their livelihood. The other is the "clutter of
things'-and here rich and poor suffer alike.
Thousands of pretty tags and ingenious mechan-
isms lie heaped up in the way of any simple and
joyable habit of mind. At all events many of us feel
halfsuffocated in buyables.
From time to time long for hut a den, a
camp with rough-sawn floor and tin dishes In
hearts know that this isn't primarily to escape the
actual labor of taking of these things, and using
them enough to justify having them; but the demand
of something else in us that wants the room in life
which these take up"
Sometimes the two things move in a vicious circle;
the acquisition of the clutter and its subsequent
and care helps to create the economic insecurity.
One of the needs of this period of civilization is
the discerning heart mind which separate the
helpful and leisurepromoting mechansms from those
that clutter and suffocate

An attractive new coach has been
added to Dodge Brothers line Of

quently made by persons examining
it.
Careful regard for quality as well
as beauty is evident IN every detail
of construction and appointment.
The graceful lines are set off to
advantage by the lacquer finish In

stripe Of cartouche yellow. Shroud
and belt are black and the artillery
wheels are blue. Doors and win
dows are exceptionally large. af-
fording a clear vision on all sides

and leave the car with the greatest
ease. Each of the two doors is

closing. The car is locked by a
high grade lock on the right door.

OF occupants. The rear seat Is spa
cious and comfortable, affording
ample room for three adults. The
upholstery is dark brown, attractive
and of excellent wearing qualities.
The equipment also includes
rubber mat in the forward section
and a carpet on the rear floor, dome
tight, foot rest, mechanical window
filters, transmission lock and auto

It rides smoothly and comfortably
over any road.
Big Demand Seen.
There is every reason TO believe.
according to Ray Semmes, Dodge
Brothers dealer, that demand for
the coach will quickly reach ex'
ceptional proportions.
1.-The sturdy construction and
smartness Of the lines and interior
appointments, not to mention the
proven dependability of the chassis,
make 1t difficult to believe that this
coach could be sold for $1,O96

is the price-and / am certain the
public will like it."

LATEST AUBURN
MODELS WIN
APPROVAL
Sedan Body Is Comparable to
Highest Priced Euro
pean Cars

The display of Auburn cars at
the auto show in addition to a new
four-cylinder car and the six-cylin-
der models, includes several entirely
new and distinctive body styles on
O new eight-in-line chassis.
This new eight-in-line chassis
has 129-inch wheelbase and the closed
car body designs are entirely diff
ferent from any other cars ever
manufactured by Auburn. The
sedan is extremely low only So
inches high over all and comfortably
seats five full grown passengers al
lowing them ample room to stretch
their legs. The extreme lowness OF
this model has been achieved through
special features of design without
sacrificing the head room in the
car.
THE rear seat is much wider
than in ordinary cars, and is de-
signed to comfortably seat three
full grown passengers with heavy
winter coats on.
'Upholstering is of the finest
mohair velvet and the back seat
In equipped with arm rests and
heavy tasseled cord pulls to assist
in leaving the car.
''The sedan body design Is best
compared with the highest priced

constructed to appeal to people who
wish individuality and distinction
in their motor car.

Citizens Paying Uncle
Sam Too Much. In
Income Taxes

"Do not pay more income tax
than you owe" This was the
Injunction issued today by the
Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Due to misunderstanding of
the new revenue act thousands
of dollars in excess of the taxes
due are pouring into the offices
of collectors, Commissioner Blair
said.
Officials said that provision
of the law allowing a reduction
of 20 per cent of the tax on
earned incomes has been over
looked by the public and is caus-
ing the Government trouble.
Net income up to $4,000 is
held to be learned income" for
the purpose of the 20 per cent
reduction. Salaries up to $40, 900
are likewise earned income in
the view of the statute, but no
rs per cent reduction is given
for any income over $4,000.

the convenience of four doors and

 Making tho Library Known
 "The New Britain Herald has generously continued to print our lists and book notes each week and to mako announcements to the pub- lie regarding library affairs,
 Tt is important to call attention 10 the resources of the library in many ways and one which we have had to eurtail, owing to lack of funds, is that of printed lists show ing what books we can furnish on any special subject. Such lists arc not only received gladly but we have been asked repeatedly for more.
