Not for long, however, does the

But let the following solve the mys-
terry as told to E. J. Daily, lighting
expert of the Graybar Electric Com
pany, in letter from visitor at
"Tahigwa" who was enchanted by the
clever method of dispelling the dis
turbance.
"The branches of the lofty trees
overhanging the roof are used by the
chipmunks and squirrels as direct
avenues to the attic. Here these cncr-
getic animals busy themselves with
boarding up nuts with no regard for
the respectable silences OF midnight.
Their scampering feet as they run to
and fro beat persistent staccato on
the ceiling above the bed rooms, par
ticularly that one where guests are
invited to peaceful slumbers.
"Now such a state of affairs has
often proved embarrassing to thought
full country hosts who take seriously
their time-honored responsibility for
the undisturbed rest OF their friends.
So this host solved the problem neatly
and cleverly.

buttons. Operation of the system is
explained to the guest before he re

Aroused by the warehouse activit,..
overhead, he feels for the switch.
Had he not been forcwarncd he would
expect a binding flood OF light in his
room upon pushing the buttons. Not
at all. If you weren't in the secret
you might be trickcd into believing
that some bclated motorist was blow
nearby. The sound comes family to
your ears.
However, the dclusion would not
last long for the faint sound Of the

ing Of tiny feet in the attic that bctok

the two buttons and the night laborers
in the attic. The scurrying dies away
rapidly and upon releasing both but

in dead silence, which remains un-
broken-no more violated by attic in

Here is the drama that transpired

HONsoLIDATIoN of all branches

HONSOLIDATION of all branches
of shipbuilding into a closely-knit
organization nationwide in scope
or the protection and advancement OF
he industry has been perfected by the
Atlantic Coast Shipbuilders' Associa-
ion through the creation of national
committee of shipbuilders and ship
repairers located in every port OF the
United States. Details of the plan
under which unified action will be OBJ
tanned on all future shipbuilding prob
lens are contained in a statement is
sued by Clarence Samuel King, secre-
tary of the association.
The arrangement extends the asso-
cations field of usefulness to every
shipbuilding district in the country
and according to Mr.. King, gives to
the governing body of the organiza-
ton the benefit of the counsel and adj
vice of men whose lives and fortunes
are invested in the business of build
ing and repairing ships, and who are
interested in the progress and pros
perity of the industry because they
intend to stay in it. By virtue of the
enlarged scope of the associations
activities it's Philadelphia office be-
comes a national clearing house
through which all information on mat
ters requiring cooperative effort in
the construction and maintenance of
ships will be transmitted and dis
seminated.
For the purpose of bringing to-
gether into compact ethical working
unit all of the shipyards and ship re-
pair plants of the United States and
providing medium for greater coor-
dination of thought and expression on
problems of mutual interest the At
lantic Coast Shipbuilders' Association
recently invited one of the senior ex-
ecutives of every shipyard and ship
repair plant in the country to serve
on a committee which will function
in legislative matters and in such as
ISOLATION activities that are national
in scope and conducted for the benefit
Of the entire industry. Acceptances
were received from 81 shipbuilders
and ship repairers, and committee
Of that number was formally appoint
ed. The members of the committee
will also serve in an advisory capacity
to the officers and councillors of the
association.

accepted appointments on this COM
mittee include c. w. Wiley, chairman
of the Board, Todd Dry Docks, Inc,

1t is believed that the personnel
of this committee will prove invalu-
able in developing suggestions for the
associations future activities, in fur
thering it's legislative policy, and in
bringing about a wider interest in
shipbuilding through the various COM
mercial, industrial and other organi-
cations with which the members are
individually identified.
A striking illustration of the ex-
banding spirit of cooperation in the
shipbuilding industry and an example
of how the newly created committee
will function is cited by Secretary
King, who described the manner in
which shipbuilders and ship repairers
of the United States worked together
in developing and placing before the
plan to improve the maritime position
of the nation and conserve the ship
yards as an important factor in up
building and maintaining an Ameri-
can merchant marine. Representing
virtually every shipyard on the Allan
tic seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico,
the association soon enlisted the en-
thusiastic support of similar yards on
the Pacific Coast and along the Great
Lakes in formulating a legislative pro-
posal accepted to all interests. This
was subsequently submitted to Con-
gress as the legislative policy of the
shipbuilding industry of the United
States.
The bill, which is known as the
Overseas Trade Act. was sponsored
in the United States Senate by Sen
ator George Wharton Pepper Of Penn
sylvania and is now pending before
the Senate Committee on Commerce.
Under it's terms tariff protection
would be extended to shipbuilding
through the application of the export
commodity refund principle. 1t pro
vides for rebate to shipowners of
that portion of the initial cost of a
ship represented by the tariff ele.
ment. The proposed rebates are to
be paid from fund derived from
profits of the Panama Canal and in
terest on loans from the Shipping
Boards construction loan fund.
Mr.. King stated that the Atlantic
Coast Shipbuilders' Association made
it possible for more than 200 execu-
tives of shipyards, ship repair plants
and allied marine interests to study
and strengthen the various features of
this legislative program, with the re-
suit that for the first time in history
all branches of the industry are a

tinued Mr.. King.

our various industries by means of

is the advent of women into the

One County Produces
$5,OOO,OOO From Mines

Boundary County, Idaho, has
total mineral production to date OF
approximately s5,OOO.OOO, according to
Bulletin No. 10, entitled "The Geology
and Ore Deposits of Boundary County,
Idaho,' recently issued by the Idaho
Bureau of Mines and Geology. The
publication was written by Virgil R.
D. Kirkham and Ernest w. Ellis Of
the Idaho Bureau of Mines staff.
The bulletin points out that geologi-
cally the area bears more resemblance
to southeastern British Columbia than
to the Occur d'Alene section, with
which it has been generally compared.
In fact, it is emphasized that condi-
lions in certain parts of the area are
not dissimilar to those surrounding
the famous Sullivan mine at Kimber-
ley, and urges that this should be kept
in mind by prospectors.
The geologic map which accom-
panies the report shows two major
features: granite allied to the Nelson
batholith-the western half; and
metamorphosed belt sediments-the
eastern half.
The bulletin contains rs pages of
text, with numerous views, maps, and
sketches.
So far the principal metals produced
in Boundary County have been lead,
silver, and gold. There are, however,
according to the survey, promising
prospects within the area Of molyb-
denum and tungsten, with some zinc
and copper showing, and with posi-
bility of placer production. The high
price of tungsten during the World
War stimulated considerable interest
in this metal. The development of the
tungsten properties in the county
now awaits a time of higher prices.
Development of the molybdenum de-
posits is retarded somewhat by their
inaccessibility. Time will eradicate
this difficulty, no doubt, and then
prospecting for like deposits will fol-
low along lines set forth in the bulle-
tin,
The Idaho Continental mine, operat-
ed by the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
Mining and Concentrating Company,
of Kellogg, is the chief lead and silver
producer of the district. A complete
description Of this property is given,
including map showing the under
ground workings. The Cynide gold
mine is only nearing the production
stage. 1t lies in an entirely different
geologic formation from the Idaho
Continental Chief among the Molyb-
denum holdings is that of the Inter
national Molybdenum Company in the
Phoebe Tip District, and the chief
tunsten showing is held by the M. &
F. Company in the Brush Lake dis
trict.
The keen desire on the part of the
mining people of Boundary County to
bring more producers to the front has
been hampered largely by lack Of CAPT
tai coupled with failure to under
stand geologic conditions. The bulle-
tin just issued should very materially
aid the mining interests of this "metal-
liferous province"
The bulletin may be obtained for
fifty cents upon application to the
Idaho Bureau of Mines and Geology
at Moscow.
