("Including petroleum, platinum metals, limestone, etc.)
 From the table it will be evident that there was substantial increase in the value of the output of gold, and some increase in coal. The de- crease in the other commodities is interpreted as being due not only to the very low prices that prevailed for the metals such as copper, silver, and lead, but also to the deterrent effect of those low prices in discouraging the undertaking of new enterprises and dissuading operators from mak- ing even as large an output as they ordinarily would from the mines al- ready operating. The worldwide stagnation of business and the &C., companying depression seem really to have been felt less in Alaska than in most other regions. Instead, there ford, of regarding the foregoing rec ord as one to cause alarm for the future of the Alaska mining industry, it seems that when all things are con- sidered the record of a decrease of only 15 per cent compares favorably with the records of similar enter prise sin the States. Each year brings more and more general development throughout the Territory, and these Improvements in genera lconditions are stimulating prospectors and others to undertake the development of deposits that had previously been to difficult to exploit. Such improve ments are exerting continuing and growing force, so that each year Alaska is becoming less and less an unknown frontier, and the hazards of mining under pioneer conditions are being correspondingly reduced.
 The output of gold was distributed between lodes and placers approxi- mately in the proportion of 43 to 57-s3. .639,OO0 from lodes and $4,- 837,000 from placers. The producing gold lodes are widely distributed through various part sof the Terri tory, but more than 93 per cent of the output came from lodes in South eastern Alaska, where accessibility to deep-water routes of communication and other favorable conditions have permitted the successful mining of immense tonnages of low-grade gold ore.
 The output of placer gold was naar-

SYCAMORE, ILL.,, July 9.-Father, in
the expressed opinion of the Rev Har-
old Holt of Oak Park, ILL.,, IS no longer
king in his own home.
Sees Radical Change.
Mr.. Holt, who formerly was head Of
the social service department Of the
National Episcopal Council. New York,
expressed himself yesterday in address,
ing the annual Summer conference Of
the Episcopal Diocese Of Chicago. He
said the dethronement Of man as the
undisputed head Of the family was one
of the factors in what he described as
"the breakdown of the familiar, old
style home"
The happy, contented family today is
the exception rather than the rule. he
said.
THE family" he added, us beset with
restlessness, perhaps the real reason for
which is the change Of our civilization
from an agricultural or small town sort
to an industrial or urban type"
Mr.. Holt held that father nowadays
gets only the AUTHORITY his intelligence
and ability merit, due to the fact that
a family no longer is miniature COM
munity, but a rather loose federation
of individuals, each member Of which
is seeking his or her own advantage
rather than sacrifice his own desires for
the good of the family"

Prelate of Boston Stress ed the Value of Chris tian FOrbearance in Times of Depression

Boston, Sept IA. (UP)-The value of christian fortitude in times of economic depression was stressed by William Cardinal O'Connell, Roman Catholic arch bishop of Boston, in a radio ser- mon yesterday.
 "No matter in what circum- sances a person imbued with such fortitude finds himself, no matter how great the darkness may be which perplexes his mind, he sees the light of God at the end of the long vista of trying days,' te Car dinal asserted.
 And no matter how deep and terrible the darkness of the mo- ment," he continued, there is shining through it all that inextin- guishable spark whic lights up te gloom and wich eventually leads i'm, even though he may be ob- liged to grope his way through weary times of distress and trial, into the dawn of a happier day"

NtW
 Boston, Sept 14-(UP)-Motor vehicles, an airplane, a boat, a train, the limb of tree, and a crock of water figured in violent deaths of IS persons in New Eng land. yesterday.
 Most unusual of the deaths was that of Thelma Ludwig, 10 months of Brighton, who was drowned when she tumbled into a fiVe-gal- lon stone crock of water.
 Probably the most spectacular of the fatal accidents was that in which a new airplane went into a tailspin and crashed on a potato field in Presque Isle, Me, killing Ralph Merritt, 22, and Raymond Stone, 27.
 Victims of motor vehicle acci- dents were: Howard Schwartz, 25, Haywood, N. J., and Louise Loehr. Rockville, Conn, whose car struck tree at Hazardville, Conn; James Brecken, Barrowsville, killed by a hit-and-run driver at Attleboro; Percy Burrill and Ellison Morrill,, Campton, N.

 Beyind that, the investigators have one more seemingly impor- tant clue. A blanket which the "pirates" threw to Mrs Ceilings, with strange solicitude after they had disposed of her husband and kidnapped her in canoe was traced to the Charles hotel, at Spring. field, Mass.
 Search of the hotel register there revealed the registry of an IF. E. Collingbourne and wife" for one day last August. The similarity of "Collings" and "Col- lingbourne" was so striking that a photostatic copy of the entry was sent to District Attorney Ed wards of Nassau county.
 Again the investigators ap- peared to have arrived in a blind alley. The Collingbourne writing was dissimilar from the hand writing found in Ceilings papers.

signature. Meanwhile, Mrs Col lings reiterated that neither she nor her husband had ever been at the Charles hotel. '.
 The 'escaped lunatic theory" was evolved only because the &C., tions of the pirates" could be explained by little other reason.
 If they were robbers, why did they take nothing from the Pen- guin?
 If they sought revenge, why did they permit Mrs Ceilings, who was a witness to some Of their actions, and who might iden- tify them, to live?
 But those are only two of the questions District Attorney Ed wards is asking. There are plenty more. Why didn't Ceilings put up a fight, when his wife and child might have been in danger of death? What was the noise Hike somebody swimming away" that was heard by the rescuing crew that came upon the Penguin, drifting idly in Long Island sound with only little Barbara aboard?
 If the object of the pirates was Kidnapping, why has no de- mand for money been made?
 The "escaped lunatic" theory, therefore, may not be perfect, but it is as good a theory as any that have been evolved only to be tossed aside.
 A check on New York and New England asylums was being made to-day.
