A New Pain Killer

What is declared to be one of the three outstanding me- dical discoveries of the past decade is a new antiseptic, said to be 70 times as effective as carbolic acid, yet so in- nocuous that "a baby could drink all it's stomach would hold and be unharmed."
 The new product, which is a pain reliever as we'll as an antiseptic, was discovered by Dr. Zeander Leonard of John Hopkins University, and is de- scribed as a synthetic organic chemical having it's origin in the glands of goat.
 The fact that announcement of the new discovery comes from such a trustworthy source indicates that it may prove to be a most valuable contribu- tion to the relief of suffering humanity.

Silver Will Not Dcwn
 Vancouver Sun

A world conference to es- tablish and maintain silver values. That is the request of the international chambers f commerce in a resolution pA. s- ed Saturday at their conference in Washington.
 China, one of the principal silver-using nations, brought it to head at the conference. The British delegation, after first urging a limited meeting, has now supported the full size survey.
 The weight of world opinion has swung to silver. This res olution of the Chambers is the eliminating act in a series of developments that proves it. Eminent authorities the world over have urged action. The United States held an inquiry on silver. Hon. H. H. Stevens support of a vast credit to the Orient was inevitably connect

ed with silver values and has made silver a public issue in Canada, particularly in British Columbia which, as a produc- CT, is vitally interested in silver value. Right Hon. Arthur Meighen has come out pub- licly in warning that the world must bring back the purchas- ing power of silver.
 Silver is today worth 28 cents on the market. It has been de- based and demonetized by the gold countries of the world. And by that debasing and de- mCnetizing they have crippled the buying power of a billion people in Asia and Latin Amer ica.
 That was all very we'll when the gold countries were trad ing. But today world trade has slowed down to the danger point, where favorable bal ances have become adverse balances in trade, and the gold countries attention has been forced to silver.
 Today it is as ridiculous and dangerous to keep the "silver billion" without a world-recog- nized money as it would be to take our own money away from us.
 Silver will not down, Says the San Francisco Argonaut, and that is the broad truth of it. You might say it in another way: silver will up."
 To quote the Argonaut again 1: Meanwhile the Pacific Coast suffers in it's every financial nerve because of a trade (with China and Latin Amer;ca) which is one of it's chief assets Silver will not right itself of itself. Nor will this trade right itself of itself, the Bank of England to the contrary not withstanding."
 Silver on a world basis can and must be stabilized: first, because it is the currency Grade medium) of half the worlds population; second. be- cause the world will soon face gold shortage (many experts predict this within a decade) ;

TEN YEARS OR so AGO

R. E. Lundvall, who last year spent practically the en- tire summer doing preliminary development on his Washing ton group on the south fork of the Marmot, will put a crew of men to work and hopes before fall to have the property prov ed up to an assured stage.
 John Haati caught a moun- tain goat kid on the cliffs above the Silverado a few days ago and started to camp with 1 it. The kid, which was about two days old, seemed perfectly content in his arms, but when he placed it on the ground to shift the position of his rifle. it hoped away with a burst of speed that would make d race horse ashamed of him.. self.
 Mrs. Helen Bell, probably the best known business w,m- an of Alaska, has purchased the Broadwell building on Main Street and will install a complete stock of ladies w 1T and mems haberdashery.
 Assays running as high as HOO ounces of silver have been obtained by John Ha ii, who, assisted by Albert Peter son, is opening up the Silver ado group. Specimens brought down this week show a pre-. ponderance of gray copper, with a sprinkling of chalco- pyrite and steel galena. Some of the surface ore is beautiful ly colored with bromide of silver.
 From present indication it appears that the cloud which has been hanging over the Spider mine since the Alguni- can Development Go. suspend ed operations last winter will soon be brushed away and work resumed on the prop erty.

HARRISON OPPOSES
TAX INCREASE PLAN
Senator Suggests Slowing
Up of Administration Debt
Payment Program.

BY the Associated Press.
Opposition to any increase in taxes
at the next session OF Congress was
voiced today by Senator Harrison Of
Mississippi, the ranking Democrat on
the Finance Committee.
Harrison's statement which Is -ex-
pected to go long way in determining
the Demrocatic policy on revenue legis-
lation, suggested that the administra-
ton meet its deficit by continued issu-
ance of short-term securities and by
slowing up, If necessary, the debt re-
tirement program.
The Mississippi Senator said the
Treasury had retired the debt So, $780,
000 900 in excess of the program pro-
vided by Congress. AS result. he
insisted the Treasury could now afford
to slow up that retirement while the
Nation gets over the period OF depreS-
sion.
Senator Harrison also assailed Secre-
tary Mellon for suggesting a tax re-
vision program at this time.
Such utterances from Mr.. Mellon
as spokesman of the administration "
he said, "frightens business and checks
the restoration of confidence. l am
against any tax increases at this time
American people are i'll no position to
pay increased taxes and 1t Is not q
proper time for Congress to formulate
permanent tax policy"

SIS, 900 SECURITIES
LOST, OFFICER SAYS
Sent Baggage in Army Plane, He
Declares-No Record of
Doctor.

Disappearance of $4,000 in securi-
ties alleged to have been placed aboard
an Army transport plane in st. Peters
burg. Fla. and shipped to Boiling Field,
washington, was reported today to on
GERS at Boiling Field by Lieut.. J. c.
Holly. who said he was a Medical Corps
officer
Holly told officers at Boiling Field he
had sent his baggage, containing the
SIS, 1000 in securities, to Washington in
an Army plane while he started the trip
Monday in an Eastern Air Transport
plane. En- route here, he said, the
passenger plane was forced down, and
when he arrived here, he could fnd nc
trace OF his baggage.
His report puzzled the Air Corps
officers. They said no Army plane had
left st. Petersburg Monday; in fact
there was no record Of any Army plane
even being in Florida. Attendants al
the local Eastern Air Transport Field
said they could find no record OF one
Of their planes being forced down en-
route here from ST. Petersburg.
A further check failed to show any
J. G. Holly connected with the Medical
Corps. The closest approach to this
name was a Joseph A. Holly, first lieu
tenant Of Infantry, stationed at Fort
Eustis, Va, now on 30 days leave.
Meanwhile, an effort was being made
to locate Holly, who said he was stop
ping at ITO Seventh street southeast.
