DEVICES FOR FINDING
 HIDDEN TREASURE

Letters are frequently received by the Geological Survey, Department 'of the Interior, asking for the names and prcies of the best makes of in- struments guaranteed to find dia- monds, gold, silver, and other metals, and especially buried treasure. The claims of vendors of mineral rods and other devices said to be effective in locating precious metals and buried treasure are considered frau dulent by the Geological Survey. The dip needle or miners compass has. been used with some success in pros- pecting for iron and other magnetic ores, but the successful use of such an instrument requires considerable experience in surveying, together with the ability to make accurate ma thematical observations and deduc- tions. Various types of electrical prospecting devices, the seismograph, and the torsion balance, have a. reused considerable interest during the last few years. These devices, however, are most complicated and require the services of technical e1 perts specially trained in their use. They would be of no service to one not versed in the principles of geo. logy and physics.

COMMISSIONER MORFORD
 ADDRESSES STUDENTS

In memory of the day when Alaska was transferred from the hands of the Russians to the United States, Judge Morford gave talk today before the Seward High School pupils. He dealth briefly on some of the pro- blems arising after the purchase. To bring his speech to a close he spoke at some length on the pride that one should have Tor the place where he lives, and about boastful correspondence and talk, which is sometimes exaggerated and should not be done, except when true facts are given.
 After MT. Morford had concluded his talk, which was very interesting and greatly appreciated by the en- tire school, Prof. McEwen dismissed the school for the rest of the day.

DETROIT, Oct IS. P)-Mayor Smith, candidate for reelection, issu- ed a statement to the Associated Press endorsing his earlier statements attributed to him opposing enforce ment of the National prohibition law; 'I am a wet and do not think any sane or sensible person believes that the law can be enforced in great cit ies like Detroit, Chicago or New York. It is about time the people of the Unit ed States realized that any attempt to enforce the prohibition law in any city will result in the breeding of hy- pocrisy, corruption of the police and employment of the meanest tactics. The whole thing is the rankest joke"

FORMER SEWARD CITIZEN
 GETS L|NDBERCH PRIZE

This man Officer Reed of Los An geles, Calif., a former resident of Sew ard not so many years ago, is consis- tently in the limelight for note the following article about him appearing in a recent Los Angeles paper, the second story he has had within few weeks. Some of his Seward friends are under the impression he is being groomed for the Chief of Police job, in Los Angeles, not Seward.
 The yarn:
 Police Officer Earl Reed is cherish ing a small scrap of notebook paper today which, he will tell you, is going to be framed as the most treasured trophy of his 10 years on the Holly wood division.
 This value attaches not to the pa per itself, but rather to the signature of Colonel Charles Lindbergh which the air hero inscribed as Reed was guarding his plane just before the takeoff yesterday. This autograph is believed to be the only one in exist ence here, and consequently high prices are being offered for it.

BY ELIZABETH STETSON.

Somewhere near the library, per-
haps opening directly from it, is the
sun porch. This cheerful little room
has become almost necessity of late
years. AS we build our houses closer
together in cities we cut off the light
from the sides. leaving the principal
openings for the front and rear. So
the sun porch is nearly always found
to the rear.
Windows form the walls, drawing
all of the light and warmth of the
sun into the room. As one can easily
see, this part of the house has to be
furnished in gay and bright colors.
Direct sunlight is SO strong that soft
colors melt aWay-Only strong, clear
hueS balance the force Of this sun
light. A very simple example is the
comparison out of doors of bright and
dull toned cretOnnes. 1t will be seen
instantly that the SOft-col0red one
seems washed out and faded beside
the other. SO many sun porches are
unattractive because the owner has
not realized the truth of this prin,
ciple.
