WILLOW CREEK MINES ACTIVE IN PRODUCING
 GOLD, REPORT SHOWS

The approach of winter finds work continuing on a very pron1lS- ing scale in the Willow creek dis trict. according to reports of ac- tivities which have been received by the Anchorage Times during the last week And there is the prospect that upwards of 100 men will have employment in the min ing belt turnout the winter.
 There are three mills grinding ore at the present ti.ne-the Lucky Shot, Gold Cord and High Grade - and it is expected that milling will continue turnout the winter at the first named proper ty, where between 75 and 100 men are now employed. It is under stood to be the intention of the lessees of the Gold Cord to do ex- tensive development work during the winter and there undoubtedly will continue to be considerable activity at the High Grade camp, where Herman Kloss and Heinie Snider are making a fine show ing.
 Mir. and Mrs. c. c. Thorpe have completed the seasons work on the Thorpe group of gold quartz claims on Grubstake Greek; Pad dy Marion and George Zink are doing some work on the Kempf property known as the Gold Top group; progress is reported at the Mike Sherry property, where tunnel is being driven; the Fern mine is working a force of nine men at present and it is expected that the work will be continued turnout the winter. Operations have been suspended at the Mable mine, it being understood that the lease has expired.

Specifically the object of the experiment is to measure validi- ty of tests of scholastic aptitude and of high school grades as en- trance criteria for admission to college.
 The group will be selected by use of entrance test criteria which measure scholastic aptitude and by personal judgements as to scholastic promise, one of which should be from a high school principal. The test will be con- ducted in the college letters, arts and sciences.
 The group, said pr. Touton, twill be closely observed and giv- en guidance. based on scientific studies with the view of develop ing, if possible, methods of study and work which will increase the probability of collegiate success.
 "The 10 entrants will be divided into groups of 35 each for instruc- tional purposes so that significant contrasts will be made possible"

In reeleeting Frank s. Bersin of New Haven minority leader of the senate. the democrats acted wisely. The minority party should function just as well with Senator Bergin calling the signals as Princeton foot ball teams did when he was their quarter back There will be fifteen democrats in the senate in l93l. which will give their repub- lean brethren majority of five. but there is good reason to believe that democratic sen- ators will win more important committee positions than heretofore. Such veteran legis- lators as Senator Lawlor of this city. Connor of Hartford, and Haekett of New Haven will be present to lend counsel to the party pro- gram. which will be one of full cooperation with the plans of Governor-eleet Cross. The 1891 legislature should be history-creating one. just as the session promises to produce such important legislation concerning cities and the state in general.

creants would soon be landed in jaili for good long terms. and the rest of the crowd would draw back from their dirty deeds, and conclude that the holdup business is not con ducive to health or long life.
 It is an outrageous thing to have all these crimes going on all the time, without more determined effort to stop them. This does not mean that it is safe thing to commit such outrages The people guilty of them may get away few times. But if they keep on. and most of them do keep on, as they cannot break themselves of the habit. they might as we'll re- sign their minds to spending most of their lives in jail. With generous rewards for the capture of these rascals, the game can be made so much more risky that it will not be so attractive.

State police officers said Attorney Gen. era Joseph E. Warner of Massachusetts this week, have no authority by virtue of the terms of the national prohibition act to en- force its provisions. nor have state police officers. as such, any power of common law to arrest without warrant for any violations of the national prohibition act, even such viola tons as were constituted felonies by the Jones act. Certain state magistrates may, however, if they choose, issue process for the apprehen- sion of volators of any federal act. and state police officers have, of course. the powers de- rived from such process" But the point that the attorney gefsral wants to drive home is that the duty of enforcing prohibition in Massachusetts now rests solely upon the shoulders of Uncle Sam. Repeal of the state enforcement act which automatically went into effect early in December. just thirty days after voters of the Bay State had registered their disapproval of the state law. has re- leased all state and local officials from en- forcing the dry laws. It will be interesting to see what action federal authorities will now take. Their first step will probably be to declare the ruling invalid But the burden of the proof is on their shoulders.

"Big Bill" Retires

To state that William J. Tilden. 2nd has retired from the amateur tennis rank is to provoke a snicker from the nations sport lovers. Big Bir has been doing that for the past two or three years. but somehow or other it looks as if he meant it this time. year ago he was definitely out of the picture, although he was creating quite furore in European circles by his monotonous tourna- ment triumphs. With a youthful American Davis Cup team about to engage the cham pion Frenehmen Tilden made one of his dramatic entries and captured the sole match that the Americans won in the matches.
 Tlden now deserts the courts to engage in making movies in which he will demon strate and explain the shots that made him wizard on the courts. He follows thusly in the wake of Robbie Jones, internationally known golfer. Jones deserted the amateur ranks at the height of his career. Tilden when he was definitely on the downward trend, al- though it can't be said that the man who was able to win the Wimbledon championships at the age of 37 is entirely out of the picture.
 Several times Tilden's amateur standing was questioned by the tennis association au- thorities, but upon each occasion the lanky Philadelphian was able to extricate himself and to plunge to the defense of the national title which he held seven times or to try to wrest the Davis Cup supremacy back from the same French players who won it from Tiden and Johnston back few years. There is no question but what Tilden kept tennis on the front page. It wasn't matter to be relegated simply to the sport pages when he entered tournament. It might mean sen- satonal news.
 The sport will suffer by his departure, but We feel sure that the game will gain impetus if his movie instructions are spread through out the country. There is no single player who has encouraged the game and actually developed more young players than Tilden. Despite his eceentricities and his sudden bursts of temperament he was the supreme example of tennis style. The American ten his world is losing Tilden. It may be with out the services of Johnny Doeg, our nation- al champion. George Lott declares he must sacrifice time on the courts for business inter- ests Frank Shields. former Roxbury athlete. and runner-up to Doeg last September, has remarked on the high cost of tennis tourna- ments and his need of working. The out look for more Tildens who can devote the greater part of their lives to the mastery of the sport is dim. We hope the sport won't suffer as result.

DAILY WASHINGTON LETTER
A Digest of Who's Who and What's What
 By RODNEY BUTCHER

Christmas he carefully added the warning: This order is not deemed as establishing q precedent 70
 Seek Half Holiday
 But 1t seems reasonable to sup pose that there will be q five-and.a- halliday week for government work CTS before there is any five-day week, so some general interest at- taches to measures introduced by Senator Wesley Jones of Washing ton and Senator Kenneth Mcclellan of Tennessee. Jones would give all federal employees Saturday afternoon off beginning at 1 o'clock.
 Mcclellan, holding that employees of the federal departments here ap- pear to have been illegally employ ed on Saturday afternoons for near ly 30 years, has a resolution direct- ing heads of departments and other federal establishments to explain why they have been keeping their forces at work.
 Postal employees will benefit from Q bill. passed by the house and ex- pected soon to be passed by the senate, granting them a 44-hour week. The postal employe unions say that this law will mean employ IIlcHI LOI oeNcIui tHousdHu duuilioHdi persons.
 Most federal employees here, how ever, work q seven-hour day. from |9 a. m. to 4:30, with half an hour for lunch. If they got off Saturday at noon, they would have 3s-hour week.
 Once Had Six-HOur Day
 Once upon time the government clerks worked only six hours a day and there is no record that they complained of long hours. Congress decided, however. that six hours wasn't enough and in 1898 passed a law requiring them ell to work seven hours a day except Sundays and days declared public holidays by law or executive order. Three years later congress appears to have thought 1t might have been hard-hearted and so said Saturday afternoons should be included among the District of Columbia's statutory holidays.
 President Roosevelt thought giv- ing the clerks Saturday half-holi- day was too generous and held that Saturday afternoon was only holi- day as it concerned negotiable paper the payment of notes and similar transactions.
 Amended Law
 Then congress amended the law to declare that Saturday afternoons and other holidays were holidays flor all purposes" It was stipulat- ed that when department heads
