Every precaution was taken by city

President Coolidge noted the new
world tendency to stress the arts Of

Word from Golden, Colorado and Melbourne, Penn, is being awaited by c. R. Skinner who believes ne has a platinum property in the Nuka Bay region. He has three leads that have been traced on the surface for 1,600 feet, supposed to be arsinide of platinum. Samples of the ore sub mitted to test in Fairbanks and at Latouche indicate that the ore IS platinum, but no authoritive anal |ysis has yet been made.
 MT. Skinner went to Nuka Bay in May to continue the work that he has been prosecuting for the past three years. The ore is susceptible of being pounded out in sheets, the same as the annealing process with gold. It is apparently not silver lead product although the ore car ries the color of silver

SAN BENITO. Sept. 1.-The ten
day encampment Of Boy Scouts at
Camp Perry on the Arroyo Colorado
was q distinctive benefit 20 the boys
who attended from a purely physi-
Ernest w. Prothro. who had charge
Of personal and public health.
There was a total of .29S boys in
the e~ncampmcnt. 243 Of these re-
ccived complete examinations. Sew
eral showed defects. but not suffi-
GENTLY to send them home. A e.
examination Of 195 Of this group on
the last day Of encampment show
ed rather interesting improvements.
Practically all under and nor. ial
weights had distinctive gains 10
weight. as well as increase in chest
expansion. despite the fact that
some 80 had just returned from an
endurance hike Of 80 miles which
always decreases weight to a mark
ed dogree. Those more than 20
per cent overweight uniformly de-
creased their weight which also
proved a benefit. The total gain
in weight despite the hike and re-
auctions in overweights, was APP
proximately one pound per day. The
greatest gain In weight was made
by Charles lyon. McAllen Troop i,
which was 9 pounds for the nine
days under observation.
To prove that setting mp" and
ether exercises benefited these
bows the doctor also made careful
chest measurements at both exam
nations. There was a total gain
of more than Ia inch per boy IN
chest measurement. The most ply
sically fit was Fred Webb, McAllen,
Troop /. who is 16 years of age.
Upon entrance he was sc inches
high. weighed 128 pounds. had chest
measurement Of 81 to IS inches.
Upon denomination he weighed
133 pounds and had chest measure
ment Of 81 70 81 inches. Thus a
gain in weight Of five pounds and
chest measurement Of 2 inches.
This boy entered almost every sport
including some spirited boxing ex-
kibitions and despite this hard work,
made this gain.
DR.. Prothro reports the general
health Of the camp was excellent.
There were a few minor ailments as
we'll as cuts and bruises as is nat
ural in any collection Of this num-
her Of persons. but no serious acci-
dents or illnesses marred the occa-
sion.
Very careful surveys we're made
beforehand in reference to water
supplies. etc. and regular tests Of
these were made daily by the execu-
tin e and health department.
The food. though plain. was well
balanced and always plentiful, in
cl=ding a goodiy supply Of pasteur-
lied milk. All of this was furnish
ed 10 the camp at actual cost.
The 1923 encampment at Camp
Perry will be remembered as the
most successful meeting Of its type
in the Valley.

Each year independence has a cele-

They recall that the town, during and
after the Civil war attained renown
because Of its educational and re-
ligious work. At that time, Baylor

College for Women, now az Bolton,
both were located here.
The old-timers tomorrow, who will
include DR.. s. p. Brooks. president of
Baylor university; Robert Jolly, sup
erintendent of the Baptist hospital at
Houston, and Mrs. Kate Haynes Hud-
son of Caldwell will recount the es-
adjustment of the two Baylors, and
the part Of these schools in making
Texas history. They will tell Of the
founding Of independence in 1924 by
John I. Cole. and the naming OF the
village "C0le's Settlement" in his
honor. Then they will tell how the
name Of the town was changed to
