India Ships Gold.
Seattle Times.)


 Alaskas gold output this year will be above that of 193l according to predictions based shipments the Territory during the first threequarters of the year. Similar announcements come from other producing districts including the famous Rand in South Africa, where recent explorations are re- ous rock distance of 100 miles.
 Despite the enlargement of production in all gold dbearing districts by far the most sensational contribution to current supplies has come from India For the first seven months of 1882, while new gold was being produced to total value of s267, ,737,O GOO, Hndustan exporting $110782,0O0 making an addition of Al per cent. to the total available supply.
 No one knows with any degree of accuracy how much gold there is in India, but estimates run as high as $2000,O00,000. Normally the yellow metal travels there to be manufactured into jewelry or to be hoarded in secret depositares. It comes out only when it's purchasing value mounts so high that there is more of an inducement to part with than to hold it.
 When Great Britain slid off the gold standard and the pound sterling declined sharply. the hidden treasure of the great Oriental country rapidly in creased in purchasing power Almost instantly there was a turnabout in the movement and Hindustan began exporting gold.
 So long the pound remains sufficiently low, it is predicted this trend will persist and will re- suit in adding hundreds of millions oI the metal to the stores of Occidental countries England being the chief beneficiary.

UTILIZING FARM WASTES.

Waste farm products from States as far apart as Minnesota and Texas, South Dakota, and Alabama have been sent to the farm-waste laboratory the United States Department of Agriculture maintained comparatively with the Iowa State College at Ames Iowa, to find profitable uses for such products
 In the last year distiation experiments were made with ground corncobs chopped cornstalks bar ley straw oa hulls, whole corncobs elevator screen lngs and furfural residues from Iowa; wheat straw from Minnesota; cottonseed hulls, peanuts shells and pecan shells from Texas rice hulls from Ar kansas flax straw from South Dakota; and cotton seed-hull bran from Alabama
 Finding commercial and industrial uses for farm wastes is a stubborn problem for the scientists at the laboratory but they making exhaustive tests with many different wastes They know that such products as cornstalks and straw contain material useful for fiber, building board. and similar uses but it remains for them to determine sufficiently cheap methods of making these products The, have produced fuel gas from certain wastes A puzzling substance found in all farm wastes is gnin

LAME DUCKS" MAKE NOISOME
 FINISH.

The Washington State Congressional delegation has given clear instance of what lame duck Congress means By an overwhelming majority the American people have repudiated Prohibition The State of Washington did by about two to When the lame duck" session of Congress vened it admitted that the next Congress will if the present one doesn't pass a resolution sub mitting the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment to the separate States. The need for getting the thing done quickly was clearly evident. We still have of the worst depressons in history in full swing. It is time when the atmosphere ought to be cleared of old It is depressing and counts against the recovery of the country to have un- settled issues discussed and talked about months after the people have passed upon them. In January there will be forty-four State Legislatures in ses sion If the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment is submitted least thirty-sx States must act upon it before it become effective If the State Legislatures that will be in session this Winter ad- journ without acting on Prohibition it will be two years before Prohibition can be put out of the Con- stitution unless lot of the States have special sessions for that purpose. Most of the State Leg islatures meet only in two years. In spite of this situation in spite of the circumstance that the State of Washington voted overwhelmingly against Prohibition and elected Democrats who favor re- preal of the Eighteenth Amendment by large major- ties in all six of her Congressional Districts three of her Congressmen- three~of them decisfvsiy beaten in November-voted against the Garner re- repeal resolution They would have the country wallow around for two extra years in the stagnant Prohibit tion puddle while suffering from devastating de- pression, just to satisfy their little political prejuoces To hell with the country they say in effect, shant give inch until thrust into the last ditch.
 That illustrates why this will be the last lame duck Congress. It will mark grave at which no lament will be expressed It is fitting tombstone to long felt nuisance that noisome than right

An Alluring Proposition.
(NeW York Times.)


 One would not care to press the point too far yet it is pleasing idea that two of the most exigent problems that confront Congress in the future might be quickly solved by merging them. These the question of beer at the earliest possible mo- ment and the question of the foreign debt payments due on December 15 The inspired way out would be to have Great Britain pay all her future in- stallments in the form of beer.
 Later, when the limits of non-ntoxication under the Eighteenth Amendment have been pushed high enough the other nations could begin to pay their war debts in light wines France would obviously jump at the chance and go so far as to admit that the victory of the Marne can be rounded out by the victory of Champagne. Or think of Hungary in default on few tens of thousands of dollars and feeding her priceless Tokay vintages to the farmyard stock because there is no market for them.
 Bass, Guinness Lowenbrau, St. Julien, Barsac, Johannsberger and chianti solving the war-debt problem and restoring good-fellowship to grumpy world-it is vision too appropriate to be true.

Pulp Mills.
(Prince Rupert Empire.)

The argument that another pulp mill on the coast is not needed because plans already established is weakened by the fact of the Pacific Mills at Ocean Falls being prepared to spend S350,OO0 in the way of expansion Not only this but work at Port Alice is to be resumed At Ocean Falls the capacity of the sawmill will be increased by 25 cent and contract has been let for the construction of plant in Vancouver to manufacture fibre containers suitable for salmon sugar and dairy products.

 SANTA'S PROPOSITION
 Next morning Santa was. un- accountably gay. Give, on the contrary, was, subdued. He was ashamed, that they should have staged a scene on her birthday
 They had formed the habit of having served breakfast on a tray. A a rule, she sat up, propped with pillows, and chatted while he dressed When he was ready for departure, she thrust her feet into pantoufles and flung on a ne- gligee, accompanying him to the Tall to take farewell
 He had fetched her pantoufles and fitted them to her feet. She sat dangling her legs over the edge of the bed, regarding him.
 Don't go, Give. Where do you go?"
 In search of work, along with the rest of the unemployed.
 Help me Clive' She leaned her head on one side.
 T never realized till last night how bitterly you resent having nothing to do."
 Tt wasn't mentioned" he said
 Tt never is. But it's the sore ness that distorts everything"
 He began to pace.
 For a man marriage isn't a career. Because you have money you seem to think it ought to be. At the moment I may be only a small potato. The little I earn or don't earn, mayn't make much difference. What I am today was when we married. You appeared to think me worth while"
 I'm acknowledging all that. She nodded. My mistake But perhaps you haven't the patience to listen"
 Fire ahead He consulted his watch
 My mistake has been that I've been afraid to sympathize. Sym pathy is so discouraging"

 Don't need to-" She threw him a tricky smile.
 'Is there a nigger in the wood pile?"
 No nigger, little boy. Only that your wife's found you job while you've been searching
 "Ha!v He considered. How did you find it?'
 Someone asked me if you were free. This somebody estimates your ability highly. No good ask ing his name-~he doesn't want to figure. You're to go. to an ad- dress that I'll give you I don't mind telling you that the salary's twice what you were earning"
 I'm not worth ten thousand Santa"

Survey of CoIored People to
Be Conducted Here by
Association.

The washington tuberculosis Asso-
citation is about to launch new and
intensive study of the causes of the
high and increasing tuberculosis death
rate for the colored population of the
District of Columbia. The results will
be compared with similar statistics
taken from Northern cities as well as
the white population of Washington,
an dthen aggressive action will be taken
to remove the causes.
Headed by Committee.
The investigation will be under the
direction of a committee of which Gar
net c. wilkinson. assistant Superin-
tendent of schools, is the chairman and
which includes Dr. William Charles

Gives Aim Of Survey.
Mr.. Wilkinson yesterday made the
following statement concerning the OBJ
jectS and methods of the survey:
The purpose of this study is to es
tablish a plan, on the basis of facts
found, for handling the tuberculosis
problem among the colored people of
Washington. The study will endeavor
to determine remedial efforts applicable
under the social conditiops in which
colored people live and to evaluate
measures for preventive work.
An area IN the northwest section
of the city, just south of the Howard
University Medical School, has been
chosen for intensive study. A similar
area later may be selected in a white
section which will give us basis for
comparison. The work will be carried
on by three members Of the regular field
staff OF the tuberculosis Association,
who are trained Investigators After
the data have been obtained, the second
part of the work will include eXamina-
ton and treatment of those in the fam
lies studied, who are found to be in
apparent need of such service. Each
worker is expected to get certain num-
ber of family histories.
