And still motorists take chances
with thin, smooth tires. Here's a

it: "Propped up in bed and SUI

When a tire blows out at even Is
miles an hour the odds are against

LESLIE HEARS REPORT
ON PAY ROLL SHORTAGE
Removal of Printing Board Clerk
May Result From Disclosure.

Governor Harry C. Leslie Satur-
day called into conference in his
office Ralph Hesler and E. H.
Brennan, field examiners of the
state board of accounts, who made
the recent disclosure of a 5000 pay
roll shortage in the accounts of j.
Otto Lee, clerk of the state print
ing board.
Following the conference Hesler
refused to discuss the nature Of the
talk with the Governor.
But it has been predicted widely
that Lee may lose out as clerk, be-
ing a holdover from the Governor
Ed Jackson era.
The 5000 was paid by Lee this
week when it was disclosed he
had overdrawn 5000 on a pay roll
for election workers in october,
1928. Lee explained it was a "cler-
ical error"

STUDYING ART,
VARIOUS WAYS

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Aesthetic
aspirations of two New York mat
rons have created enough interest
to raise couple of eyebrows.
One wanted to go in the movies,
but her concience hurt her lest she
deprive some poor working girl of
her savings toward sable coat.
She told the bosses at that studio
that if she were given a role she
would find employment for some
girl to be named by officials of the
studio
So the matron landed small
part for which Barbara Sheldon
had been considered. In return,
the matron got Barbara place as
model in her husbands exclusive
shop.
No. PITS nothing new for wives
of business men to go "arty" in
Greenwich Village and even to en-
gage studios down there-they
make atmospheric" places to en-
terrain ones curious friends.
There's something refreshing in
the way Mrs. Jessie D. Hayden
Wiggin, wife af Albert H. Wiggin
the banker, has gone about it. She
hasn't cackled to her friends, hasn't
eve ninstalled a telephone in her
studio.
Sculpture, she explains, has been
her lifetime interest. She went to
Greenwich Village to study it with
out being disturbed, she says, and
hopes that some day she may be
good enough to exhibit her work.
In the meantime: Il can't sex
that what I have done so far is Of
interest to any one" z-

GOLDFISH FARMING
YIELDING PROFITS

EARLIMART, Cal, Dec. "a
Fish are raised by the millions by
farmers of this district and in
many cases the Crop pays for the
power bill.
Approximately 40 farmers raise
and sell gold fish at a price of one
to three cents a fish.
They seed their reservoirs with
gold fish and outside of the small
cost of seed fish there is no heavy
expense. The farmers drain their
reservoirs, leaving them only ankle
deep in water.
The gold fish thrive on decayed
vegetation in the shallow water
and at the proper time they are
scooped up in buckets and poured
into large tanks for shipment to
San Francisco and Los Angeles.

KAOL|N MINERALS ARE
 GIVEN STUDY BY J. $.

The koalin minerals make up only one group of the clay form ing materials, but they are among the most valuable ones commer- cially. Kaolin is the essential material for the manufacture of porcelain, chinaware and most of the higher grades of pottery; it is an abundant constituent of the products of rock Weathering and soils; and it is associated with certain types of the kaolin min eral deposits. For these reasons the characteristics and properties of the kaolin minerals are of ill- terest to the workers in widely varying fields.
 The results of detailed study of these minerals have just been published by the U. s. Geological Survey, Department of the Iii terior, in Professional Paper lG5-E. The clay materials are exceeding ly fine grained and so have pie sented unusual difficulties to sys- tematic study; but the Specialists of the Geological Survey have found that even these materials are truly crystalline and can be studied by recently perfected scientific methods.
 The X-Ray method Of studying crystalline powders and -efined microscopic technique, together with chemical analyses and the reactions to heat have been suc- cessfully applied to these mater ials, and the results arc presented in this paper. The paper gives the distinctive properties O. the kaolin minerals, describes their means of Identification, and clears up the difficult problem of min eralogical nomenclature Of this group.
 The discussion of the mode of origin of the different minerals will interest students of soils as well as those desiring to interpret the origin of various types of mineral deposits. A copy of this paper may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. q, for Is cents.

FISH ARE FRIGHTENED
 BY SHADOWS, N0T NOISE

Con trary to popular belief, noises do not disturb fish, and anglers do not need to keep quiet while fishing. This, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, is the con- clusion reached by Henry w.. Fowler, curator of fishes and rep tiles of the Academy of Natural Science, Philadelphia, who has de- cided that shadows, particularly moving shadows on the water, frighten the finny creatures.
 Oil-burning trawlers have re- ported poor catches when great volumes of smoke leave the fun nels and cast a shadow over the water. Most people who make much noise while fishing also move about considerably and Mr. Fowler believes that their shad- OWs, rather than the sounds, ac- count for poor luck with such anglers.

 Many in Alaska remember him as Colonel Gibbs, who in 1924 had charge of laying the new Alaska cable, which it is now proposed to abandon. He had previous service in Alaska, however, as builder of the north central section of the Alaska telegraph System from 1901 to 1903
