Eldorado for Jobless
in Outskirts of Tokyo

Old coins, semiprecious stones and
irregular pieces Of metal found in in
creasing numbers at Tokyo, Japan,
may turn the city's hack yard into
an Eldorado for the unemployed.
It all started when man out Of
work happened to be wandering over
large tract of land which has been
reclaimed by the city since the earth
quake and which will be used for
factories. The man found about a
dollars worth Of coins the first day
and twice that amount the next.
The news spread rapidly and min
iature gold rush started before the
city authorities stepped in and di-
vided up the land for exploitation
by the jobless.
The explanation Is that the land
used for the retaining project was
taken from districts which were
swept by fire following the earth
quake Of 1923 and which were made
over for the construction Of roads
and parks. Countless pieces of
money and other valuables were left
by the flames and never recovered.
These are now being dug up after
being transported to their new loca-
ton. The record find to date in the
exploited area is a semiprecious
stone which used to be part of ring
and which the finder sold for $25.

Famou. Beauty L. Hibiscus

1t has been written of one of Flor
ida's wild flowers that it lis probably
the most gorgeous of all the plants
indigenous to the United States" This
hibiscus that opens crimson flowers
five to eight inches across, says Ma
ture Magazine. Like several other
species of wild hibiscus, this crimson
lowered one blooms in the borders Of
swamps in summer, at a time when
low grounds in many places are gay
with the southern red lily, whose up
right solitary flower, of red and yellow
spotted with purple, tops stem set

"There is nothing wrong. Pray
don't make a scene," she said In her
icy sweet voice.
She never touched anything when
she dined with him. To watch him

and devouring 1t with his eyes, was
too much. The dinners were always
perfect, and she felt Henri's eyes

The unlucky duckling had gone ita

reason to which he owed the pleasure
of her society.
She flushed slowly, playing with hex

He gave her the little glance she
hated. Those small eyes from their
ledge of flesh seemed to know every
thing.

they telephone an old man and ask

strength. She was an inert bundle
of clothes and helpless body. He could
have done anything, carried her any,
where, for she had no resistance. But
instead, he stepped out on the path
and began to walk steadily toward
the town again.
She could hear the easy measured
murmur of his heart. She closed her
eyes, and imagined she was lying
against a warm wall-his breast was
like that. His arms were like
cradle.
She remembered she had been
afraid, and wondered why. That silly
ness, for now life was coming back
strange life that searched. out the re-
hottest nerves of her body and turned
them into fine quivering strings. She
felt his arms tremble, and her cheek
against his breast told her his heart
was pounding. Suddenly she was hot
and gasping.

writhed under what she read there,
for she knew that he knew about her
fear and what she had feared.
They walked slowly back to the
hotel. Nearly all the lights were out,
and they realized they had given
grounds for scandal when they saw
the face of the proprietor. Before his
shocked eyes they went up the stairs
and stopped before Linda's door.
II will see you in the morning?"
"Of course" She stifled q yawn.
She was thinking of something that
gave her an ugly shock. She had to
see him in the morning; she had
counted upon that, and it would have
been so much nicer to let him go now.
"Wait," she was turning to open her
door but she had to obey his voice,
1t was wistful again. II wish you'd
believe in things again. It's easy II
you try"
She laughed.

PENSION BILL TO AID
$500 VETERANS IN STATE

The World War veterans relief
bill which was passed last Thurs
day by the Senate and signed by
President Hoover was characterized
Friday by c. D. Hubbard, regional
manager of the United States Vet
Grams Bureau, as lone of the finest
pieces of legislation enacted by Con-
gress for the benefit of disabled
veterans of the World War;"
whether the amounts given to
disabled veterans who cannot trace
their disabilities to the World war
is adequate or not. do not know"
Mr.. Hubbard said, "but the bill is
absolutely sound in principle. It
establishes definite governmental
policy in dealing with the care of
disabled veterans.
"This legislation was enacted
twelve years after the war. Spanish
war veterans in the same class re-
ceived the benefit of such legisla-
ton beginning twenty years after
that war.
The pensions range from SIP to
$50 month.

and of the cities and villages show
small increases compared with a
year ago, while the net indebted
ness of the counties, townships and
