WASHINGTON, July 20-The
Chinese Eastern railroad in Man
churia, over the control of which .
war is threatening, is the key which
can make available an enormous
wealth of natural resources at pre-
sent locked up beneath the soil in
the forests of Manchuria.
Iron and gold are said to be pre-
sent in large quantities although at
present these resources remain prac-
tically untouched. There are two
iron mines in southern Manchurla,
one operated by the South Man
churia railroad. In the northern
region there are none.
Gold is washed on the tributaries
of the Amur River up near the
boundary of Russia, but the gold
washers take only the most Access
sible metal. There are as yet no
mines of any importance in the
whole northern region which is
reached by the Chinese Eastern rail-
road.
Manchuria is rich in coal. In the
northern section seventy mines are
in operation, but only four of these
are modern mines. The majority
are very primitive workings with an
annual output of onlysa few hundred
tons. The four principal mines are
operated by Russian, japanese, and
English capital.

Movie FavoriteS Of Ten
Years Ago Now Are
Housewives.

HOLLYWOOD. July 2o-Holly-
wood, now in its adult twentieS as
the center OF the molten picture
world. is becoming full of stars that
have been dimmed by time.
In almost any block in the resi-
dence sections you can find a
comely middle-aged housewife who
showed on the screen in the day
when the films really flickered.
For instance, Theda Bara, fore
runner of all the vampires! Almost
forgotten by the modern generation
Of movie fans but still very much
among those present in Hollywood.
She has been out Of pictures for
more than q decade. but as the
wife of the director. Charles Brabin.
she is still one of the picture set
socially.
A check-up in the current Photo
play Magazine finds a majority of
that older generation of picture
stars still at or nearby the scenes
of their former glory. Some Of them
are even attempting to come back
to the films, now that the talkies
have put premium on experience
an output of 100000 tons a. year
Three other mines in this district
have annual outputs of more than a
hundred thousand tons. The rest are
all small workings that barely
scratch the surface.
Another valuable natural resource
of Manchuria is the large stand OF
timber. Northern ManChuria con-
tains the great forests which were
formerly reserved as hunting
grounds for the Manchu princes.
The largest forests are those along
the Great Khingan mountains in
