SerUe Mankind In
Mn4nerabIe Ways

wv AY back in Old Testament
w times, when a day of atone
ment was at hand, the sins of the
people were symbolically placed on
the head of a goat which was then
allowed to escape into the will
ness; hence the word scapegOat, or
blame-bearer, which has come down
through the ages.
No longer made to endure this.
the goat is, however, still serving
mankind in a variety Of other ways,
especially the angOra or mohair
goat as it is called from its fleece.
All the time they are doing this
they are growing a wonderful
fleece Of long, silky, white mohair
which is clipped once or twice a
year and sent to the mills for manu-
featuring into fabrics.
The pile material resulting, known
as velmO or mohair velvet. is in
great demand as upholstering for
automobiles, trains, busses and air
planes, as well as for fine furniture
in the home, because it will wear
practically forever, and is as easy
to keep clean as it is beautiful to
look at. 1t is one Of the most sat
isfactory fbers known for dyeing.
Mohair, unlike wool, cannot be felt
ed, but is permanently resilient
and springy and therefore cool and
comfortable as seat fabric.

find IRON ORE ON
indian RESERVATION

Deposits of iron ore have
been reported to occur in the
western part of the Fort
Apache Indian Reservation,
Arizona, and in order that
the best interests of the In
dians might be considered in
drawing up leases on them
an investigation of the de-
posits has been made by d
geologist of the United States
Geological Survey.
The bed OF iron ore was
examined in two localities on
Canyon Creek, in the vicinity
of Willow Creek and Ched-
iski Mountain and in the vi
cinity of Bear Spring Can
.yon. The ore is hematitc,
ranging from soft, powdeIy
bright-red material to hard,
dense dark-blue oxide. More
or less specularite is present.
The most valuable deposits
of the iron ore in this region
lie near the mouth Of Bear
Spring Canyon. Results Of
the brief surveys made in
dicate that here there is d
bedded deposite of iron ore
of good commercial grade
and that the quantity of min
able ore reasonably to be ex-
pected in this locality will
reach 100000 long tons.
1t will require prospecting by
core drill, however, to de-
monstrate this quantity with
certainty, and there is a pos
sibility that even more ore
may be found.
These deposits are des-
cribed in Bulletin 821-C OF
the Geological Survey, "Iron
ore on Canyon Creek, Fort
Apache Indian Reservation,
Arizona" which may be OBJ

NOW IS THE BEST
TIME TO BUILD

Now is the best possible
time for construction OF
schools and other public
buildings, partly because OF
the business depression. In
the first place, such construc-
ton will give employment
to many who need it Second
ly, a considerable saving can
be effected by building now.
Construction costs are
from Is to 20 per cent lower
than a year ago and proba-
bly, lower than they again
will be. BY building at pres
ent price levels taxpayers
would get the advantage OF q
material saving, especially
since costs will be met by
bond issues which will ma
ture after the depression is
forgotten.
Despite the business de-
preston the market for
bonds, especially public is
sues, is excellent. They are
in better demand than a year
or two ago when the public
fancy inclined more to
stocks Municipal and coun-
ty issues sell readily and al
good prices as has been
shown by the experience Of
Maricopa and other counties.
The saving in building at pre-
sent low costs is substantial.
Such a policy would be in
accord with the plea recent
ly issued by Governor Hunt
calling upon cities and other
communities in Arizona to
undertake without delay all
needed construction work,
especially schools. Cover
nor Hunt stressed that at
present prices considerable
saving could be effected and
would be afforded and more
money put in circulation.
The matter is. worth care
full consideration by each
community in the state. Pre-
sent construction will be eco
nomical and tend to better
ment of economic conditions.
Now is the time to act

TICK THE
CAUSE OF PARALYSIS

Washington, Mar. 22.-
1 (AP)-A venomous and
tiny tick is being studied by
the public health service as
/ the cause of a fatal paraly-
sis for which there is a sim
pie cure.
The malady primarily al
fects animals, although hu-
mans can become victims of
the insect which labors under
the chronological handi-
cap of "Dermacentor Ander-
soni." It is caused only by
the female tick, which sucks
from the blood stream con-
tinuously for ten to fifteen
days, injecting a potent poi
son Investigators have been
unable to isolate and ana
lyze.
The ailment begins with a
numbness of the feet ami
legs. Soon the victim is un-
able to stand. A short while
longer and the hands and
arms. throat and tongue
muscles are stricken. Death
follows when the paralysis
reaches the heart or respria-
tory organs, usually within
from three to five days.
The cure presents little
trouble. All that is neces-
sarv is to scratch off the
tick. Within a few hours
the paralysis disappears and
leaves no after effects.-EX.

SERUM DEVELOPED
IN ENGLAND WHICH
KILLS CANCER TISSUES
Animal Tests Promise To
Make Cure Effective In
Human Being
By HOWARD w: BLAkESLEE
A. p. Science Editor

New York, March 23,-
(AP)-Cancer tissue grow
ing artificially in glass dishes
is killed in a few minutes by
a ney serum developed in the
research laboratory of Lon
don Hospital, England.
Unlike other tumor rene
dies this serum is harmless
to living tissues except can
Ger.
These discoveries and
their possibilities for expert
menting with cancer in man
are told in the April issue
of the American journal Of
Cancer by Thomas Lumden,
M. D., director of the London
Laboratory. The journal is
edited by DR.. Francis Carter
Wood, of Columbia Univer-
sity.
The serum comes from the
animals which have been in-
oculated with cancer. 1t is
tested upon cells of cancer,
of heart, kidney and other
body tissues growing arti-
ficially outside of living be-
ings. A start has been made
in testing it upon living ami
mails, a few rats have been
sured of cancer, and others
made immune.
Showing CHOW much more
effective the sera are than
other remedis, DR.. Lumsdn
says:
ITO every other damaging
agency, heat, toxins, gamma
rays (radium) etc.-tested
these cancer culture are de.
finately more resistant thar
the normal tissues. Thus il
the mixed cultures are sub.
jected to ultraviolet rayi

Frazer's Murder Pal Held
Key to Nude Staying

RAILWAY, N. j., Ma.ch 5.
New and startling information
concerning the 36-hour "ceath
parade" of William B. Frazer
with his murdered sweetheart,
Mrs. Phoebe Stader, is expected
to be unearthed within the next
few days, Prosecutor Abe David
said today.
William Wagner, PinkertOn
operative working with David,
found the mother of William NC
Grath, mystery man, who rode
with Frazer into Raleigh, n. c.,
it was learned.
Wagner was told the young
man would return to AllenhurSt,
where he will be questioned by
David to determine if McGrath
aided Frazer in disposing Of the
body.
Insane, Lawyers Contend
Frazer, held in the Union county
jail at Elizabeth, admitted to the
prosecutor that the dead Woman's
clothing was in the car when
he picked up McGrath "some-
where outside of Raleigh"
Former State Senator AIexan-
der Simpson and Attorney Victor
Greenberg, of PaSSaic, who will
defend Frazer, announced they
were convinced that Frazer was
"gin crazed" on the night of the
murder and for weeks prior to
that time had been suffering
from mental fatigue and worry
due to his tOrrid love for Mrs.
Stader.
Frazer has repeatedly told his
friends that it was impossible for
him to kill his sweetheart.

OVERCROWDING c
SCHOOLS ISSUE

The question of the latitude Of
the Board of Education in refus-
ing admission of nonresident
pupils in District schools, to re-
lieve congestion in overcrowded
schools, will be put before Cor
poration Counsel William w.
Bride for a second time, it was
learned today from school au-
thorities.
School authorities are baffIed
by the terms of the law which
says that children who are not
exempted from payment of tut
tiOn "'may be admitted on pay
ment of such amount to be fixed
by the Board of Education"
It is the Interpretation of the
word may" that DR.. Frank w.
Ballou wishes clarified. The
question of restricting nonresi-
dent children from attending the
Western High School, which is
now run on a part-time basis
because of overcrowded condi-
tions, has prompted the investiga-
ton.
Under the law, children whose
parents are Army or Navy Off

GANDHPS PEACE
RULES INDIA

BOMBAY, March 5 QN.So.
Mahatma Ghandi's campaign OF
civil disobedience against British
rule, launched more than a year
ago, will be abandoned immedi-
ately, and all nationalist prison
ers except those jailed for
violence will be liberated, it was
revealed today with publication
of the agreement reached between
the nationalist leader and Viceroy
Lord Irwin.
Boycott Removed
Terms of the agreement follow
closely the forecasts made by
International News Service last
Monday.
Ghandi promises to discontinue
boycott of British goods as q
political weapon, and unmOleSted
sale and purchase of British COM
mOditieS will be restored.
The agreement gives Ghandi a
signal victory in his campaign
against the British salt tax. one
of the principal causes of his op-
position to continued British rule.
Residents of the salt areas Of
Indian, particularly the poor, will
be permitted to collect and manu-
facture salt from sea water for
domestic consumption or sale
within their own villages.
Hitherto, the British govern
ment has exercised a complete
monopoly on salt collection, manu-
facture and sale, reaping a lucra-
tive revenue thereby.
Violation of the British mo-
nopoly was prison offense. and
it was upon this technical charge
that Gandhi himself served an
eight months sentence in the
Yerovda jail, near Poona.

HALIFAX, N. S., March 5
QN.S0 THE lives of more than

Devils Island, a small isle five
miles east of Halifax, was in
danger of being wiped out today
because of a terrific southeast

There is a life saving station

The island stands out in the

If the breakwater is carried
