 SEE OLD SOLDIER
 DAYS ONCE MORE
Two Old PrOspectOrs Have Struck It Rich in Mine That Was Abandoned Long Ago

Central City, Colo, Aug. 21 = (UP)-Gilpin county, which last week was re-living the era of it's theatrical glory, today hustled with excitement over the prospect of a more authentic revival.
 Gold, the precious metal that made possible brilliant productions ins Teller House in the lush days around the turn of the century. was rediscovered in the abandoned Cornucopia mine, now renamed the "We-Got-Em." A rich vein was struck. two inches thick, ex- posed for 15 feet and assaying an average of $500 a ton.
 To the two seasoned middle aged prospectors who discovered it, Frank Becker and Eddie Miller, the vein meant fitting reward for more than two years labor in re- habilitating "worked out" mine. To Gilpin county it meant renewed hopes of at least partial return to tn eprosperity that favored this region when the countys popula- tion was about 35,000. Now it is less than 1,500.

EMILY CARR OF CLINTON, CONN
 STILL. MISSING
Mother Denies She Was to Sue Con vent She Doesn't Know Where Her Daughter Is

Clinton, Conn, Aug 21.-(UP)- Rumors that Mrs Emily Carr planned to take legal action in an effort to prevent her daughter, Ma talia Carr, 19-year old Vassar col lege junior from entering a con- vent, were denied to-day by Mrs Carr. There is no truth in that report Mrs Carr said. "How can I take any action. even if I wished to, when I actually do not know where my daughter is. I have no idea where she is or what she plans to do. I only know that she is not married, for she wrote me a let ter to assure me that reports she had elopd were unfounded. But that is all that know"
 When Miss Carr disappeared on thought she had gone to Montreal July 13, police reported that it was with the intention of entering a convent near there where she had attended scool for nine years before she entered Vassar.

The world Zionist congress, of ten called the parliament of the Jewish people, opens to-day in Prague, Czechoslovakia, in the presence of more than four hum dred representatives of virtually every country on the globe. ac- cording to Charles Rosengarten, chairman of the local Zionist or ganization.
 The present world congress is regarded as the most important in the history of the movement for the rebuilding of the. Jewish home land. MT Rosengarten said that 1t is expected that dominant influ- ence will be exerted on the delib- erations of the international gath ering by the American delegation, whose. chief proposal will be the raising of a fund rof $25,O00,00O for the settlement of 2bo.0oO Jews, mostly German Jews, in Palestine. The congress is also ex- pected to take a strong stand in demanding greater cooperation from the British government as the mandatory power in increasing the number of immigration cer- tificates available for Jewish set tiers in Palestine.
 In a statement explaining the purposes of the congress MT Ro- sengarten said: "The 18th biennial session of the world Zionist con- gress, opening in Prague on August 21st, is the most international meeting that the Jewish people have had in many years. It's sig nificance is intensified by the events which have recently taken place in Germany and which throw a new light upon the need of the Jewish people to create haven of refuge and freedom in Palestine.
 "The world Zionist congress is composed of representatives of the Zionist organization in virtually every country in the world, from Australia to China and from Bra gil to Canada. Elected on the most democratic basis that has ever been devised for popular move ment, these delegates are real representatives of the countries on whose behalf they are attending the congress. It will rest with these men and women to deter mine the tempo at which the re- building of Palestine shall con- tinue. Although various points of view are represented among the Zionist delegates assembled at the world congress, they are unified by the ideal of establishment in Palestine where maximum num- Der of Jews may find for them selves a new life.
 'The American delegation has gone to the Zionist congress with definite program. It will urge the raising of a $25, 100000 fund dur ing the next four years for the settlement in Palestine of 250,000 Jews, mostly German Jews. The Zionist of America have pledged to tile raising of $8,- 000.000 during that period.
 "The present situation in Ger many, which makes it impossible for countless thousands of Jess to exist in that country, adds new force to the contention of the Zionist congress that Palestine must be rebuilt at sufficiently rapid pace to absorb those Jews for whom life is impossible in the countries of their present resi- dence.
 "The Jews of the world are pre- pared to give adequate funds for the settlement of their persecuted brethren in Palestine. The world congress will demand, therefore, that the British government, as mandatory power and as the trus- tee for the League of Nations.
