A DESERVED ENDORSEMENT.

The National Conference of the Labor Party now dominant in Great Britain, heartily endorsed President Hoover for his efforts toward promoting international friendship and a peaceful and peace loving world. The resolution as adopted unani- mously and with much earnestness follows:
 We desire to convey to the American
 President and the Nation he represents our
 qualification at the whole hearted manner in
 which they are seeking to cooperate in the
 great task of promoting international friend
 Illness and so secure a peaceful and peace
 loving world.
 No thoughtful observer of the course of Presi- dent Hoover will question that the resolution has not been earned. President Hoover is laborng whole -heartedly and with tremendous effect for a peaceful and peace-loving world No man is bet ter prepared in temperament experience and ability to carry this great work If he and those CO., operating with him able during his incumbency to make sure the future peace of the world they will have accomplished the greatest work to be done since the organization of peoples into terri torial groups

THE EXPECTED CAME TO PASS.

The World Series is over for 1929, and the ex- pected came to pass. Connie Mack's Athletics took the championship to Philadelphia. This is the fourth time the Athletics have won this honor It is the seventh time they have won the American League pennant and the sixth time they have par ticipated in the World Series. There was no World Series in 1902, the first time they won the pennant They lost the championship to the New York Giants in 1905 and to the Boston Braves in 1914 They won championships in 1910 1911, 1913 and 1929
 Only the Boston Red Sox in the American League with five championships, lead the Athletics in winning World Series contests The New York Yankees three-haf of her contests. Boston is pennant winning behind Philadelphia, but she every World Series in which they par ticipated
 This last World Series confirms the usual ex- pert opinion that the American League is faster than the National League Since 1903, when the American and National Leagues began their World Series contests the American League has six teen and the National League ten championships. There contest in 1904 In the last twenty contests the American League has fourteen times and the National League six times

England and the Phone.
Manchester Guardian.)


 It will surprise many people that the telephone should now be celebrating it's fftieth birthday in this country, for it's boyhood was quiet one, and 1t showed something of Peter Pans unwillingness to grow up. It is only in quite recent years that It became a normal instrument of communication and that for middle class person to remain with his house unwired exceptional Even now we are behind other nations in affection for the implement. In Sweden there telephones in bathing places, tobacco kiosks and down the rail way platforms so that traveller who has forgotten something can jump from the train and find the apparatus on the nearest pillar. The British tee- phone system now shares with the British climate the position of general target for national frac- tiousness and spenetc complaint Many people could hardly survive without these objects of emo- tional relief; if they could not rage at the rain or the telephone they would probably start break ing the furniture or hitting their friends Some times their petulance has point and cause but it IS worth remembering that to be a pioneer in mechanical matters is often to be handicapped later on Where complicated system of installments is involved, as in the of the telephone the late starters profit by the experience of the other be- gnners and can avoid entangements in unsatis- factory apparatus and technique That sometimes explains why smaller and later systems in countries much less wealthy than our own appear to be re- quick, cheap, and efficient They may have watched while others strove; they sometimes gain who only stand and wait

Secondary Prospecting.
Engineering and Mining Journal

There several ways of making money in mining. The most popular and direct is to find the outcrop of rich orebody like the Ontario or California Rand Tintic Standard and start pay ing dividends. Another method, perhaps not as romantic or as remunerative, is to find as did two Tintic men, Victor Bray and Farris Meakin, an old smeter dump containing precious metals and start shipments
 In 1874 following the first discovery at Tintic a camp that has produced 315,OO0000 to date, the old Leathan smelter was erected The site at Goshen was chosen because of the plentiful water supply. After shipping about seven and a half carloads of bullion, the shelter was dismantled
 Concealed by the accommodating overburden of the years the old slag dump lay neglected and for gotten. Some of the material was used for build Ing roaos and some for constructing the Goshen reservoir dam Recently, in nosing about the desert Bray and Meakin ran across the dump. Assays of samples taken proved that the old dump was far rom worthless. lease was secured on a l2 per cent. royalty basis from the ranch owner on whose ground the dump lay Some of the old 1lrebrlck used in burning charcoal is said to be heavily mpregnated with silver Several hundred pounds of bullion has also been found

THE LANDING By Mary Graham Bonner


 It was little island, way, way down the coast, where Columbus actually landed
 The day was October 12, and the year 1892
 The Little Black Clock had turn ed the time back so that John and Peggy could be with Colum- bus when he landed.
 They saw him wave his Spanish flag over the land for the queen of Spain had given Columbus the money to make his trip.
 How strange the island seemed. It looked like funny old pictures to John and Peggy.
 The sailors were cheery now They were so glad to be on shore.
 But Columbus stepped on the land as though it were the most marvellous thing he had ever done in his life. Of course it was.
 He loved boats, he loved the ocean. He had wanted to discov- CT land, and he had discovered it.
 There were people about, people with gay costumes, feathers and paint. John and Peggy knew they were Indians. But the Little Black Clock told them that soon they would be given their name They did not quite understand what the Little Black Clock meant by that AS they watched Columbus, John said:
 He's the greatest man, almost, who ever lived.
 My dad took a trip on a boat but it was great big boat-nothing like the ones Columbus had. And my father knew where he was all the time, even though they had an awful storm and people were frightened But Columbus just kept on going, and didn't know where, until the end of the trip"
 Then Columbus cried India" but John and Peggy did not know just what he meant by that. If John had thought about it he might have understood, but neither of them was thinking of anything except that they were seeing Christopher Columbus discover land.
 How nice the Little Black Clock had been to bring them here!

Shopping Women.
(Botson Globe ]

Mrs. Mary T. Norton of New Jersey, who is member of Congress, has unburdened herself of a few remarks about the tariff which must give chls of apprehension to those Republican politic- ians with an intimate knowledge of the history of past tariff bills
 Mrs. Norton assails the tariff on behalf she says, of 8500,000 working women whose costs will De increased from 10 to 75 per cent on shoes stocKngs dresses, coats underwear, toilet articles
 Tn fact, everything that goes to make woman comfortable" <
 She says under the present bill that a $1o nat calls for tariff of $25O; that fine toilet soaps are increased in price by 30 cents on each dollars worth; that French perfumes will be placed beyond the reach of most women; that the tariff on silk will raise the price of much of wonen's clothing
 Back in 1890 the Republican Party passed the nchiniey n iarli1 Bili-and two years later turned the Federal Government over to the Democratic party.

Wednesday and Thursday - Emil
Jannings has proved again that art
need not be beautiful. And he has
shown also that realism, stark and
powerful, is his forte on the screen,
realism with a grim, human quality
that burns into the mind. This time
it is "The Street of Sin," more than
a worthy successor to his first Ameri-
can production ''The Way Of All
Flesh" which created place for the
tragic screen drama in a land given
over to happy endings. To appreciate
the heart shock, the fine irony and the
pathose Of this Paramount picture, go
to see it at The Everett Theatre next
Wednesday and Thursday. Jannings
stalks through the rabble of the Lon
don slums like conqueror in cOrdu-
roy. The streets of Lmehouse obey
the threat of his fists and women love
him despite his brutality. 1t is es-
sentially a story of regeneration but
wrought differently than ever before
on the screen. His reformation,
brought about by Fay Wray, who
plays a Salvation Army lass, is vivid
because it is truthful.

earlier scenes reveal the star as a
fashily-garbed girl whose beauty
makes her a conspicuous figure in the
night-life of an Austrian city. She is
loved by two men, former friends,
whom the war makes enemies as well
as rivals. The supporting cast of'The
