THE continuance of the crisis among sections of
the farmers with difficult conditions generally in
the agricultural field, create favorable situation
for the extension of the work of the party. The pro-

A-organization Of the UnOrganized.

Of the party nuclei in the factories to take the
initiative in developing such movements and to give
them the greatest possible support The party already
has creditabe achievements in this field, but there
must be a greater mobilization of the party
for this work and its extension on a much greater
scale. This movement must also be initiated and
stimulated in the trade unions central bodies, and
organs of the trade unions generally.
1t is the workers in the highly developed machine
industry of the United States who largely unor-
ganized. 1t is exactly these workers who should
first respond to Communist agitation and be the
backbone of the Communist movement. The party
must take the leadership in the fight to organize
these workers and thus extend its influence among
them. The party must mobilize its strength to Gre

Fastest Air Mail Transport
Service in the World!
Daily Schedule - 81 Hours East


The Washington-O Oregon-Idaho Air Mail Service
is the forerunner of the Governments extension
program for contract air mail service of national
scope, and happening of national significance.
Starting with airplanes, pilots and 8 mechan-
ics and operated by Walter T. Varney, under the
first Government air mail contract, it plies daily
between Pasco, Washington, Boise, Idaho, and
Elko Nevada, where connection is made with the
transcontinental air post at Elko, effecting 81
hour -by-nlai contact between homes, business
and banking houses of the Northwest and those
of the East. The air mail from the Northwest is
carried on fast trains to Pasco, Washington, where
it is assembled and transferred to one of the East
flying airplanes The same procedure is followed
at Boise This service effects great saving in time
for mail going to all points East and also for mail
going toa points east and south of Salt Lake City,
Popular Rates
The new contract air mail program when fully
developed will make it possible to communicate
with practically every section of the United States
on fast airplane schedule. The expansion of this

MINE LOST 100 YEARS IS
REVEALED BY COCKROACHES
Finder Recalls Legend That Insect
Pests Infested Treasure Hole
Tarantulas Guard Another.

New York-An old Mexican gold
mine, all trace of which had been lost
for more than 100 years, has been re-
discovered in a curious manner, says
brief Stories"
1t was one of the many prolific
sources of treasure worked by the
Spanish adventures in the days of
Cortez and had been given the name
of the Cockroach mine on account of
the large numbers of these insects
which infested its immediate neigh
borhood. 1t was afterwards sealed up
and its site forgotten.
Recently. after the lapse Of more
than a century, a prospector in the
district, noticing a rock sWarming
with cockroaches, remembered the
story, followed the trail of the insects
and found the mine, which is again
being worked.
Strangely enough, there is in Mex
leo another ancient mine known to
only a few Indians and to one or two
white prospectors who have been
lucky enough to return unscathed
from the region. This mine is stu
ated in the mountains near Durango,
and still bears traces of the opera
tions conducted by the long-dead race
whose civilization was hardly less adj
yanced than our own.
The Spaniards, in their turn, made
attempts to raise the precious ore,
specimens of which have proved the
mine to be the richest of its kind in
the world, but the chief obstacle in
the way of further development is a
vast horde of death-dealing scorpions
which swarm in the workings.
So large and venomous are these
specimens that many lives have been
lost by the numerous exploring par
ties who have tried to reopen the mine
and, although organized measures
have been taken to deal with the
pests, there has been no apparent
diminution in their number. Thus a
vast treasure will probably lie I'M
touched for all time.
In South America, near the source
Of the Quibo river, deep in the fast
nesses of the Andes mountains, there
is another ancient mine, similarly
guarded by the terrible tarantula
spider, which has denied mankind ap-
proach to the mine for generations.
The tarantula is fierce and horri-
BILE insect, whose bite means death to
a human being, since there is no
known antidote for its poison. Ac-
cording to native legends, the ancient
Peruvians, and lately the Spaniards,
when working this mine, employed
special battalions to wage warfare
against the spiders, with orders to
keep the immediate surroundings OF
the workings clear of the pests, re-

ONLY ONE ARMY OFFICER
IN FOUR is WEST POINTER
Number Commissioned From Civil
Life Far Exceeds Total of
Academy Graduates.

Washington.-Hardly more than one
Officer out Of four in the regular army
and Philippine scouts is Il West Point
er, and the number commissioned di-
rect from civil life exceeds the total
Of academy graduates.
These figures are disclosed in the
annual report of Maj. Gen. Robert G.
Davis, adjutant general Of the army,
made public. 1t fixes the total regu
lar active commissioned force on June
so, this year, at 1850 for the two
branches, with enough retired and re-
serve men on active duty to bring
the grand total up to 12,462. OF
that number, 3,262 are West Point
graduates, $500 came from civil life,
.>044 from the officers reserve corps,
and 1904 from the enlisted ranks of
the regulars, National Guard, volun-
teers or some other branch of the
service.
The total enlisted strength was 1885,,
"a, of which 9G,695 were on duty in
continental United States. To MAIN
tain the force, 1858 recruits were
necessary during the year, of whom
more than 90 per cent were native
born Americans. General Davis fig
ures that it costs $63.5S per man to
gather recruits, including those for
the Philippine scouts.
The report reiterates army Objec-
lions to the One-year enlistments au-
thorized by congress and shows that
departmental policy has limited &C.
ceptance of men under this provision
to those needed for specific purposes
in a particular locality where no i'm
portant transportation cost was in
volved.
During the year the strength Of
the officers reserve corps jumped
from S1,706 to 95,154. More than 1000
new reserve officers were obtained
from the training corps graduates and
the civilian training camps added an
other 500
A plea for preservation of 10O-year-
old army records that are dropping to
pieces from much handling is made
by the adjutant general in his report.
They cover the regular army for the
period of 1S12-1912, including original
muster rolls of the regiments.
"Their gradual disintegration will
continue until they shall have liter
ally fallen to pieces, unless the con-
slant handling to which they have
been subjected can be obviated
through transcribing all information
which they contain upon indeX-record
cards." General Davis warned.

Hidden Oil Fields
Rewealed hv Efeaf

Washington.-NeW Oil fields and
other valuable mineral deposits, in re-
gions where the tell-tale rock struc-
lures now lie buried far below the sur
face and random drilling is imprac

~ low cost by means of measurements
of the heat in deep wells, according to
w. T. Thorn, Jr., geologist in charge,
of the division of fuels of the United

Series of temperature measurements
taken at different depths in wells of
the Salt Creek dome in Wyoming, says
Mr.. Thorn, shows that these tempera-

the fold was cut off by weathering,

rocks at the crest of the ridge, or

SATURDAYS GAME!
HARVARD FOOT BALL
ATTENDANCE DROPS

NEW YORK, January 13.-Figures
which have just come exclusively to
the writer show an interesting refiec-
ton of the most encouraging per-
Torrance" of Harvard foot ball elev-
ems in the past two years.
Total attendance at games at the
Harvard Stadium in 1925 fell off ma
terially from the preceding season.
And no recent season has shown the
total attendance that marked the Fail
Of 1922. In other words, steady retro
gression Of support
The year 1922 was the banner year
-339 900 spectators attended the foot
ball games on Soldiers Field that Fall.
The 1928 showing was not quite so
good. In 1924 the falling off from the
figures for the banner year of 1922
amounted to 52,334 and last Fall the
decrease was SO Sal.
DiScouraging foot ball, as played by
Harvard teams, adverse weather con-
ditions in the early season, as well as
two -gameS-inStead of one-played
away from home, are cited as reasons
for the marked decline in 1925. II
should, however, be noted that while
the varsity team played the Brown
game at Providence in the late foot
ball season, the open date at the sta
dunn was filled by the Harvard Yale
freshman game.
Perhaps this is the reason why talk
at Cambridge of over-emphasis on foot
ball died so suddenly after the subject
was preached by undergraduate edi-
tors. Evidently, all that is necessary
in the way of mitigating undue pub,
lie interest in a sport is to have the
team representing that sport perform
in a manner not encouraging. This
at least, would seem one logical in
ference to be drawn from the waning
attendance at the Harvard Stadium.
