SPANISH PRESS GAG
ISSE|LL EFFECTIVE
Newspapers, After 8 Years of
Censorship, Don't Know
When They viii Be Free.

by the Associated Press.
MADRID, March 12.-After oper-
ating under almost constant govern
ment censorship for eight years, Spanish
newspapers still do not know when
they viii be free.
During the seven years Of the Primo
de Rivera dictatorship, commencing in
1923, censorship never ceased. Primo's
system was as simple as 1t was iron.
handed and effective He either closed
outright newspapers printing anything
he disIiked, or he imposed fines which
meant ruin, and If continued he put the
editors in jail.
Was Managing Editor.
For seven years Gen. Primo de Rivera
was, for all practical purposes. the
managing editor of every newspaper in
many ways, he could be and he was
ruthless in many other ways, and the
newspapers either said what he liked
about politics or they said nothing.
The next premier, Gen. Berenguer,
tried to operate without censorship,
but he had no luck He quickly re-
stored the censorship, put it on again,
took it off, established it once more. 1t
was more often on than on, because,
after being suppressed so long, some
newspapers went pretty strong in gov
eminent criticism and in what the gov
eminent considered rabble- rousing, in
flammatory agitation whenever they
were given the bride at all.
Rioting REQUIRED.
When Berenguer lifted the censor
ship the first time labor strikes, uni
versity student riots and anti-monarch-
ial political meetings leading to riots
quickly followed. He restored the CEN
sorship and the rioting stopped. He
lifted the censorship again and once
more disturbances broke out all over
Spain.
That cycle was repeated over and over
and eliminated in the December revo-
luton, after which there was nation
wide martial law and military CEN
sorship more severe possibly than any
thing that had been known before.
Some weeks after this revolution blew
itself out Berenguer made his last and,
for him, fatal attempt to give Spain a
free press. He again removed all CEN
sorship. The newspapers said plenty
and in q few days the public feeling
was SO infamed that Berenguer fell,
revolution or dictatorship threatened,
the throne was in very real danger, the
peseta Slumped to all-tin1e lows and
business was demoralized.
When win It End?
After several days of grave anxiety
the Aznar government was formed
with censorship.
when viii the censorship be lifted?'
the new government is being asked.
! Minister of Public Works Juan la
CierVa, hard-boiled Conservative and
father of the aviation inventor. repre-
senting the views Of his colleagues, re-
piled:
Whenever the Spanish newspapers
know how to function uncensored with

Easy Tire CHANGING.

The business of changing the tire on
the automobile is rendered easier by the
use of Jacks which are permanently in
stalled on the car. There are four of
them, and when their services are not
called for they are slowed away un-
obtrusively, but when 1t is necessary to
make a change the jack nearest the
soft tire is dropped and few turns of
a crank raises that part Of the car.
The business of placing Jack under
the car is entirely avoided.

larger nugget. Coming across a likely-looking stream, the pros pector proceeds to pan for "col- ors" Gold is rarely found in the pools or at the bends of river The wise prospector fills his pan with gravel from a point or bar. Some prospectors use nothing but frying pan; others carry three pans graduated in size from 18 to six inches wide so that as the gravel is concentrated they can shift to a smaller pan.
 Half filling the pan with gravel and then filling it with water, the miner swirls it around with cir cuar motion, holding it at slight tilt so that some of the water runs over the edge. This separ- ates the materials, the heavier and finer grains moving to the bottom and to one side, while the larger and lighter grains accum- mulate on top and at the opposite side These the miner throws away by working them over the side or scraping them off. He dips it constantly into the stream so that it is kept full of water. Soon nothing is left in the pan but small quantity of heavy ma terial consisting mostly of black magnetic iron sand. If gold is present, the miner can often see ] it at once; or by rapping the bot tom of the pan with rock, caus- ing the sand to bounce up and down, the heavy particles of gold are tossed into the air where they may be seen. A few drops. of mu- riatic acid brighten the gold.
 To completely separate the gold from the black sand would be too long a task, so the prospector drops a small amount of mercury into the pan and swirls it. The mercury picks up any gold that is there. Then the mercury is strain ed through the piece of chamois leaving the flakes of gold on the surface.

CASH IS FOUND IN ANCHORAGE THEFT CASE,
 TWO BOUND OVER

Two men in jail, bound over to the grand jury, and all but $700 of the $2,500 stolen from the Pan handle, Anchorage cardroom, early this m n h, is the record of achievement of Anchorage off cers, federal and municipal, aided by Assistant United States At torney J. L. Reed and by Frank Hoffman, former deputy United States marshal at Matanuska, who is at present making his home in Anchorage, reports the Anchorage Times
 Following the arrest of George Bray, charged with the theft of the money from the Panhandle, and Dave Wilkins, accused of re- ceiving a portion of the stolen money, the two men were given hearing before United States Com missioner Thos c. Price and held to answer to the grand jury. But up to that time virtually none of the stolen money had been re- covered.
 The story given to The Times ] is that Bray took the $2,500 from the Panhandle and gave Wilkins $750 of it. Bray then proceeded to spend $110 and cashed the re- mainder of his portion in a shed at the Park hotel. Wilkins spent his share more freely, getting rid of $590 in short order What was

 A complete prospecting outfit consists of several sizes of basin like pans, an iron mortar and 'pestle, magnifying glass, bottles of quicksilver and muriatic acid, a square of chamois, pick and shovel, supplies, and perhaps a dry-washing machine
 Placer gold is found in river sands and gravels, and gold ore is found in the hills. What a prospector looks for depends upon the surroundings. Placer gold is loose and consists of tiny specks and grains, with sometimes a
