CAPT. ATEN GIVES
INFORMAL TALK TO
HISTORY SECTION

Ono Of the most interesting pro
grams enjoyed by the History See
tion Of the Woman S Ten Thousand
Club was that of yesterday when
Capt. Marion Aten, formerly Of
the British AR Force, gave an in
formal talk on his experiences in
that service. The meeting was held
a the Ten Thousand Club tea
loom, with Mrs. / W. McGrcw act.
ny as hostess.
''Colorful was the adjective
lest descriptive of Capt. Aten 5
talk, which told Of thrilling adveu-
lures in warfare against the Bolshe-
Niks in Russia and for contrast in
Guided as varied material as the
description Of an Arab banquet.
Omitting any Of his experiences
IN Europe, Capt. Aten opened his
talk with description of CONSTANT
nOple. The mosques with their nina
rcts stretching ekyward appeared
before the imaEinations of hls in
tcrested audience, as he told of
life in that city. Particularly vivid,
with a rather horrible fascination,
was his word picture of the bowling
dervishes, their rites and practices.
During nine months Of service in
Russia, which included the retreat
before the Rolsheviks, Capt. Aten
lad an opportunity to make many
interesting observations regarding
tie country and its customs, and
especially regarding the character
of its occupants.
Throughout his entire talk, Capt
Aten's character analysis of such
races as the Turks, Arabs, and
Russians was conspicuous and parti-
eularly interesting as his obscrva
tions were much more penetrating
than those of the usual world
traveller.
Experiences in aviation over tho
desert places of the Holy Land
about Bagdad and into India com
pleted the talk. During the after
noon and at its close Capt. Ater
answered many questions which at
tested to the interest felt by his
audience.
During brief business session
preceding the program, a change il
the bylaws was voted to make pos
sible the holding of an office in the
section by the same person foI
more than one year. Mrs. W. W
Apple, chairman of the section, wa.
tLen unanimously reelected to the
leadership, and Mrs. Panl Cogley
chosen secretary.
Delicious refreshments were serv
&C by Mrs. McGrew, assisted BY
Mrs Cogley, at the close of thG
successful afternoon.

END OF WORLD WOES
 SEEN BY DIR. MAX MASON

CHICAGO-A. world that in time might be made rational, world free of hunger, poverty and sickness, peo- pied by men who would begin to un- derstand the worninps of their own minds, was seen today by Dr. Max Mason, who resigned the presidency of the University of Chicapo to be- come research director of the Rocke- feller foundation.
 We may even colonize other planets some day." he said. "We know there are many thinps wrong with the world today. What makes men unhappy?" Why should men go hungry? What is the trend of thought in the direction of improving the conditions that bring these things about ?"
 Such problems, he indicated, would be studied with the resources of the foundation, estimated at more than s60o,0OO,OOO.
 T will have staff of experts to go anywhere in the world to discover whatever facts are necessary. The sky is the limit when it comes to money. There are no strings at tached to the direction of this foun- dation. There are no prejudiees about anything. We have no propaganda to submit. We want the truth, that man may be more free.'

AWARDED $5O.O00
 BY MAN THOUGHT PAUPER
(Fairbanks .News-Miner.)

Because he was kind and friendly to neighbor who appeared eccentric in his habits, Al Raap, who formerly mined on Goldstream and who now lives at Martinez, California, is, richer by $50,000, according to William Gill cher. who got the story from the Out side. The money was left him by one Baumgart, a miner, who died in apparent poverty at the age of 85 years.
 Baumgart, according to the report, was an enigma to the countryside where he had lived for, many years, but his neighbors could learn little of his means of livelihood. His farm. adjoined that of Raap, and the two men became friends, Raap extending courtesies to Baumgart, who seemed to be in need and dire pennry. After his death 1t became known that at his advanced age he had walked 30 miles to an Oakland bank to deposit $10,O00-
 He died suddenly and his body was found in his lonely cabin. On the wall was a scrap of wrapping paper, which proved to be his last will and testa- ment. In it he left all his worldly possessions, which investigation dis closed included $50. 0.0OO to Raap with out reservation. The story created quite sensation and was copied largely in the coast papers. Raap didn't really need the money, it is re- ported, because he had sprospered here and in California since he left Fairbanks some years ago, still it made a tiny addition to his bank roll.

DESERTS FRENCH LEGION,
 FLEES ACROSS SAHARA

LONDON, Ont.-Thomas William Marshall, diminutive adventurer, roamer and soldier of fortune. joined the French Foreign Legion to get "a kick out of deserting." He did. To- day his story reads like a page out of the most fantasti cnoyel.
 The Britisher joined the Royal En- gineers as bugler, in 1915, when only IA. Since demobilization he has been all over the United States. Egypt, Canada, Germany, Central America, and with the Legion in Algiers and Morocco. His episode with the most famous of the French fighting forces was followed by a narrowing ordeal as he walked across 40 miles of the Sahara desert to freedom. Now he is here with an aunt and seeking en- ployment until the wanderiust strikes him again.
 A graphic story of life in the Le- zion, where its discipline was more than brutality, of hardships and dan gers, are related by Marshall and a companion, another Legion deserter Captain J. A. Martin, formerly of the British forces.
 A few days after he joined Mar shall decided to desert, and he did, with Dutchman as companion. eve never gave up hope,' he said. At night 1 made hole in the roof of our quarters, my fingers running blood as l did, and got to the ground, taking cover in a fig tree that was just out side. Here we stayed for a few hours, then went on and on across the burn ing sands. Finally the Arab forces caught up to us, and we hid in an- other tree. My companion grew weaker and weaker, our food supply having been exhausted for some time. Finally he slipped from the tree and into the hands of our pursuers. l don't know what they did to him probably shot for desertion-
 Il dropped out of the tree later. At last l made my way to the beach and struck out into the sea. It seemed as if it were hours later when I found myself exhausted on the decks of an English ship. They had hauled me

SEA WAITE .RGOLD FAILS
 GERMAN WAR DEBT PLAN

BERLIN.-Eaint hopes that Ger many might pay her war separations debt with gold extracted from sea water were dashed today by Profes- sor Fritz Haher, who lectured before the Oceanographic Congress here.
 Professor Haber said that any pros pect of winning appreciable amounts of gold from the sea has utterly van ished.
 The lecturer won the Nobel prize in chemistry in 1918 and is professor at the Kaiser Wilhelm institute for phy- sical and electric chemistry. His po- sition and reputation gave his couclu- sions great weight with the scientific audience.
 Professor Haher said that the pos sibility of extracting gold from the oceans had long been strong appeal to scientists and inventors. Since 1872 some thirty extracting processes have been patented.
 When the reparations commission in 1921 fixed Germany's war debt at 132 milliaEds in gold marks, equal to 50,00O tons of gold, German chemists again approached the alluring posxi- bility of obtaining yellow metal from the seas.
 The great Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius in 1903 estimated that there were eight milliards tons of gold in the ocean. Professor Haber said today that the highest yield ever obtained was 60 milligrams of gold from ton of water. He explained that this was ten times more than Arrhenius had calculated, but he add ed that sea water varied so extraor- dinarily and unaccountably in gold content that laboratory experiments had resulted only in disappointment.
 Gold is there, he concluded, but the hope that science might. make its ex- traction a paying proposition had not .materialized-
