fact is that men folk also demand
these qualities. -.
OF course, only men could drive
cars at first, because one had to

the engine, manage the controls,

With the coming of electric
starters and hydraulic four.wheel
brakes, brute strength was no
longer required, and women came
into their own as drivers.
These improvements and all
others are welcomed equally by
men drivers, because most men de-
mand efficiency in the operation
of their machines, and few men
are averse to ease and comfort.
The beauty, comfort and style
of preSent-day cars are neither

NINE De SOTO
! BODY STYLES
IN NEW LINES

The brilliant new De Soto Six
is one of the most popular at
fractions at the Automobile Show.
Strikingly individual in ap-
pearance and presenting highly
advanced features of operation
and construction, it is the finest
De Soto ever built. and it sells
st the lowest price in De Soto
history.
The 1882 De Soto is instantly
recognizable by the alert dash
of its rounded racing car ra-
diator and the sweeping beauty
Of its European custom type

power six-cylinder motor.
The principal engineering fea-
lures in the new De Soto Six
are: Floating power. automatic
clutch with silent gear selection,
free wheeling, constant mesh
transmission, double drop, x-gir.
der.braced frame; safety steel

coupe and rumble seat coupe. The
custom line includes the five
passenger sedan, the roadster, the

Doing echoed IN geological and MN

thrilling days Of gold rushes in the
Yukon and California.
For an inky black mineral has been spotted

Over $4,000 times more precious than gold
is radium. wonder element discovered by the
Cures. 1t is worth $l.50O.O00 an ounce:
gold is worth $27.56 an avoirdupois ounce
The new discovery Of radium ore in Can
ada promises to break the radium monopoly Of
the Belgian Congo. just as the development of
the African deposits broke the American mo-
nopoly after the war.
This result was hardly anticipated by the
lone prospector who set out in 1929 for the
vast cold. barren wastes around the Great Bear
Lake. 800 miles from the nearest railroad.
Indeed. radium was not in his mind at all.
He knew. Of course, that this part of Canada
contained wealth of valuable minerals. but
that vast deposits of radium would be found

But the radium find was not all. The silver

THE two great railways Of Canada are be-

Of this total (nine ounces. to be exact) has

The United States owes the development OF
its radium resources particularly to one man,
Or. Richard B. Moore. In 1911 Professor
Moore made speech at the opening Of the
Chemists Club in New York City. He warned
his fellow chemists that the United State. was
letting the radium industry slip out of its hands
into foreign control
Aroused by Dr.. Moore's remarks. the u. S.
Bureau of Mines sent him out to Colorado to
investigate. Three times as much radium, he

as much as the best of Belgian ores,

least $1,000 worth Of radium. they
were told, was present in every ton Of
the ore.
Fortunately the deposits are concen-
trated and easily accessible to the sur
face. which is not true in the Congo.
Further flights were made in Feb
ruary and July until the layout of the
lake shore was thoroughly understood.

his own. In the summer Of 1929 he
flew to Great Bear Lake in the North
west Territories with Leigh Brintnell.
chief Of the Western Canada Always.
Flying over the eastern shore of the
lake. he observed. in the region OF
Hunter Bay and Echo Bay, that the
ground was broken up by a great red
slash of 'gozzan." a rusty STAIN 200
feet wide caused by iron ore. They
landed and soon found large vein of
quartz.
This quartz vein was about 400 to
500 feet wide and. when further In
vestigated, proved to be so miles long.
Parallel with It were found copper. co.
bait and silver ores.
Along the shore at Hunter Bay on
Great Bear Lake were lying immense
boulders. some of them as much as so
tons in weight. They were practically
pure copper ore.
This looked hopeful. LaBine staked
claims and with his companion turned
south wondering if. perhaps. the quartz
contained some gold.
THE other companies were operating
I by airplane only few miles away.
Unwilling to let possible fortune slip
out of his hands. LaBine did not wait
for the thaw before returning. At thu
height of the next winter, in February.
with nature in her unkindest mood, he
returned to Great Bear Lake again by
plane.
Landing. and pushing ahead alone on 81

of the lake. There was no gold. as far a
could see; but after four month. he found

that aroused his curiosity.
He thought perhaps it might be pitchble,
