The Egypt's Gold

Divers, working from the salvage ship Artiglio. off Brest France. have begun to get bars of gold bullion from the sunken ship, Egypt. 400 feet below it. The me- ehancal grabs with the sharp teeth had been piling up on the Artiglios deck a mass of broken wood and sodden rupee notes. When the first ,ingots of gold were dropped on the deck by the grabs, the men shouted and checred Then, remembering their com, rades who bad lost their lives in unrewarded search, they knelt for moment in prayer. After this, they went to work with much more vinl and soon had pile of ingots, to- gether with some British sovereigns
 The value of the golden cargo is said to be about $l.000.00, besides which there were over d thousand bars of silver in the bullion room. Another point of interest to the salvage company is the fact that the rupee notes are said to be valid and they have recovered enough to be worth about Sl4000000 at the current rate of ex- change. Now if somebody will discover the treasure of Captain Kidd, authenticated of course, the world will feel that good start has been made on unfinished business.

AMERICAN PLANTS IN CANADA
(New Britain TIeraldl


 The great American Smoot- Haw- ley tariff, which has done so much for the Dominion of Canada since our neighbors to the north decided to retaliate, will likely not receive the attention during the campaign that it deserves. Although the democrats have adopted platform perforating the new tariff there are other important issues.
 Recently the announcement was made that another Canadian cor poration, with headquartersr in Torrington, would establish a Can- adian plant. Thus 1t will be enabled to manufacture in Canada goods that formerly were sent there from Torrington. Hundreds have similar plants including at least one rep resenting New Britain's industries.
 The Canadian Pacific railway, gloating at the accession of new American industries along It's lines, has issued bulletin noting the "progress" made since the Domin- ion also went on the tariff band wagon.
 Here is business that will be lost to America for keeps, for it is un- likely that once American branch plants are established iii Canada they will be readily dismantled. These plants will be a permanent feature Manufacturing enterprises which have been established dur ing the last few months have been surprising even to the most op- timistic of business men," says the bulletin.
 The chief business propagandist of the Hoover administration, pr Julius Klein, should take due note and include these developments in one of his numerous public state ments. if he cares to talk about something disagreeable.

Florenz Ziegfeld

The death of Florenz Ziegfeld deprives the American stage of one of its most color- ful characters Flo Ziegfeld was good snowman and one who took exceptional pride in his art As "glorifier of the since his famous Ziegfeld Follies took the lead in musical extravaganzas Mir Ziegfeld achieved worldwide reputation. He gave to. the stage feminine pulchritude in all its glory. But beautiful girl was not the sole cast of Ziegfeld's revues. She was the background. Surrounding her were lovely and modern scenery, marvellous sing erss gifted dancers, side-splitting comedians. Over it all Ziegfeld threw capable dia- logue and catchy lyrics.
 This was not the production of Ziegfeld. He always had the best of assistance. He always managed to secure the best of talent for his productions. But it must be recorded that Ziegfeld was willing to adventure where others feared to go He was willing to gamble upon the success of an unheralded performer. As a result the stars of today were once the eallow youths and girls to whom Florenz Ziegfed entrusted the task of
 
 productions. Count the number of headliners today who oste were Follies attractions It is pretty lengthy one and very imposing.
 While Ziegfeld will always be remem- bered for his Follies and those unforgettable ff8lies on top of the New Amsterdam theatcr in the days before prohibition was harrassing us, he was quite successful in plain musical comedy. We know nobody who disputes the claim of Ziegfeld to im- mortality by his production of Show Boat back. in 1927. Adapted from the Edna Fer Der novel, the play became an instantaneous hit. At its revival this year the critics even gave it more glowing tributes That surely must have gaddened Mir Ziegfeld, even then fighting against the illness that finally ended his seventful earcers And those who bark back to 1927 recall that while Show Boat was enjoying a phenomenal. success Mir Ziegfed was also reaping much praise fer the contemporary production of he Three MusketeetS' with Dennis King.
 We should certainly class Show Boat with The Student Prince which un- doubtedly was one of the magnificent musl- cal productions of modern times. As Show Boat marked the high point of Ziegfeld's musical comedy successes, so did those memorable Folles of 1919 and 1920 stand out in long series dating back to 1907 There may have been better Follies than those in the. above years. Ziegfeld may have had greater stars, but he never combined in the one show more attractions than he did in those days of Marilyn Miller, John Steel. Bert Williams. Eddie Cantor. Mary Hay, and host of others whose names hide for the moment Truly the American stage owes debt of gratitude to Florenz Ziegfeld. And the American people can hope and~pray that worthwhile successor will be found to provide for their enter tainment.

eight new forest reserves in this sfates each embracing about 30.000 acres. He revealed this in a talk last week before the members of the Fairfield County Planning associa- ton. In addition he urged construction of more parkwsys similar to the Merritt boule- yard and paralleling it. We should like to see the state add to it's forest holdings. Per-. sonally we don't believe there is any better investment than this. Money spent in this fashion to-day will never be squandered for we'll have our state forests and parks hun dreds of years from now. barring tidal waves, earthquakes. landslides etc. How ever. the state is in poor position to ac- quire additional public land what with de- mands for relief work. But it must be kept in mind that land can be bought to-day for prices much cheaper than it probably will be ten years from now. Where we can we should buy.

The boundary line between the United States and the Dominion of Canada is go. ing to be something more than mere imag- mary line by the time respective agencies of both countries finish with their task of carving definite line. The International Boundary commission. which has charge of mapping the boundary between the two countries is fast finishing its work of deter mining definite boundary marks. The line is $500 miles long and already 5.483 monuments mark it in the land portion. In addition, where the line cuts through for est areas wide path has been cut. Perhaps when the line is complete somebody will whitewash it from end to end.

 Uncle Sam is demanding high grade collateral for his credits to banks, railroads, insurance com panies and. now building and loan associations, but if things get worse he is likely to find himself loaded up as an owner of private businesses much as the Farm Board found itself piled high with wheat and cotton.
 Relief From the Top"
 Relief from the top" is a term often applied to the Hoover policy. The president believes that If in- dustry can have ample Gredit fa- cilities the wheels of industry will before long begin to turn and pro- vide employment.
 The opposing theory is that the wheels of industry will not begin to turn until purchasing power is restored among the masses and that the benefit which "drips" down to them from the "top" will not importantly affect the basic situation
 But. the charge that the big banks are getting all the R. F. C.. money seems to be unfair. On June 30 the R. F. c. had made loans to 4196 institutions and of the 3600 banks benefited, 78 per cent were located in towns of 10, 900 or less population. At that time some $643,00O,000 had been lent or promised to banks. Big banks and big railroads had been taking money in huge chunks, as evidenced by the $SO,000,000 loan to the Dawes bank in Chicago.
 The largest financial and busi- ness interests appear to be pretty solidly behind the Hoover plan.
 They haven't proposed anything any better and if it doesn't pan out they stand to lose with Hoover and AyeryOnA Qlse

Even in the hills where one would expect to find grown-up snakes, it is a disap- pointment to know that rattle snakes are slim and thin and have very few buttons>to show for their years of life. In the southwest it is no important discovery to find rattlers thirty or more years old. These reptiles, having attained adult snakehood, would sheer and poke put their tongue at q mere thirteen-year-oid baby rattlesnake. But there is one thing that can be said for the New England rattle- snake situation since the younger a rattler is, the less dangerous his bite becomes; It is an asset to have such 8 high rattlesnake mortality rate that to find one thirteen years old is news.

 Washington--President Hoover's general program for meeting. the depression is commonly believed to be bolstering us up during this distressful period and if conditions en to the republican description of him as the all-wise captain who has guided us bravely and ably through the storm.
 Criticism is leveled on the ground that he has acted feebly and inadequately or that the pro- gram is too preponderantly con- cerned with aiding big banks and corporations to the relative exclu- sion of the "underdog".
 But it's Hoovers' program and we are going to ride along on it, at least until after the November election. And 1t will be Hoover's funeral if the program doesn't do all that he has been claimed for it. Any credit he gets of the sort that can be translated into votes will be measured by the extent of any improvement.

 The minor so-called unemploy- ment relief measures are not an essential part of the Hoover plan, which centers around the Reconstruction Finance Corpora ton and it's loans to banks and corporations of a strictly limited nature.

NEvUs OR BIRTH MARK CAN HAPPEN

"r had always thought of you friend and a. physician wise and kind" writes corre- marking must disagree with you. An unborn baby can be marked, for I am living proof oI that l born with dark req mark on my cheek and still have it. Now don't give me some lohg-wnded name that means the same thing. Everybody calls 1t birth mark" Fam sorry, but there is only one name that know of for such blemish which Is present at birth or appears within a few weeks after birth. The name for it is nevus. There is just one objection to the popular name of birth mark, namely that it conveys the suggestion that the bemish is somehow due to some un- pleasant impression made upon the mother be- fore the child is born. That suggestion is pre- posterous The blemish is due to anomalous de- Velopnlent of the skin and Goa only knows why this happens.
 The nevus may be mole-that is, small protuberant spot, stain or blemish, with or without coarse hairs growing in 1t, or It may be a mere port wine or claret stain In the skin or warty mass or fatty mass or just a purple blemish filled with veins, or an abnor- maly pale or white patch in the skn
 Whatever name you prefer to give it, nevus is congental (that is, present at birth) but not
 inherited, not an indication of any marking or maternal impression, not a taint, not a sign of any deficiency or fault on the part or the parent or other forebear. but just bit Of bad
 luck which may happen to any human being and deserves the sympathy of all human be- ings.
 The kindest way to manifest your sympathy for any such blemish anomaly or abnor- naty or peculiarty is to ignore it absolutely, to carry on as though you have never noticed it. Even if the victim insists on discussing it with you in any way, then be as sincere liar as you can and minimize the enormity or the blemish as much as you can Above all, never express sympathy to the victim If you don't wish to earn the victims ih will or hatred. As a rule 1t seems that individuals who are not too prone to shower sympathy upon these crea- lures of unkind fate have the least charity for them
 Flat nevi, whether white or pigmented, may be concealed by the skilful use of cosmetics pr William A. Pusey suggests as paint for conceang patches of leukoderma (piebald skim mixture of two drams of glycerin, F ounces of zinc oxid and 1 h ounces of cala- min in pint of water. To this icthyol should be added drop by drop until tint to match the normal skin is obtained-usualiy from 10 to so drops of icthyol will be necessary.
 For more permanent concealng of flat blemishes tattooing Is used, but here we warn against the tinkering of amateurs or quacks For one thing, such crude surgical eff forts are likely to produce hideous results. For another thing, any unnecessary irritation of nevus predisposes to She developme.. e cer cer Only the physician or specialist of good professional standing and RESPONSIBILITY should be intrusted with the treatment of blemsh.
 In later talk we shall consider the best methods for the removal or cosmetic improve ment of these blemishes

The home of Franklin Pierce, fourteenth president of the United States end the only native of New Hampshire to be elected to the presidency, has just been thrown open to the public as state memorial. The Pierce homestead is quite large, sixteen rooms and at present scantily furnished. There is no endeavor upon the part of the state to try to obtain the original furniture as the annual upkeep appropriation is only $500. Furnl- ture of the period in which Pierce lived is gradually being acquired and will be placed sturdy and strong and its large, cheerful freplaces give it an atmosphere that modern interior decorators strive for in vain to-day The Pierce home is in Hillsboro, which is only 45 miles away from Franklin where the Daniel Webster home has. been a show place for years. Tourists can thus visit the two historic sites in one day. The Pierce house was built in 1904 by General Ben jamin Pierce. the presidents father. He himself was governor of New Hampshire for three terms from 1827-29. Restoration work was started in 1925 by Captain Hayward M Kendall relative. His first task was to remove piazza that was de- stroying the rich colonial outline. Some of the beautiful wall papers were discovered under layers of later papers and were re- stored practically unharmed. Woodwork and hardware of Pierces day still, are in- tact. For the convenience of tourists the house will be open from to 5 p. m. daily until October l2.
