one would think that he would consider that there are conditions under which walking on the high way Is moro dangerous than ordin- arily and make allowances.
 The pedestrian should see that he is further out of the road in such cases and should not allow q car to pass too near to him. In- stead fthat, 1t seems in q large number of instances, the pedestrian goes blindly along in the same path he would follow in the daytime. or on nights which are clear. and pays no attention to oncoming or following cars. Consequently the operator, who is struggling with reduced visibility, perhaps with his windshield spotted with ice or snow. and doing his best to See what is ahead of him, does not see the walker and fatality results.
 There was one instance where woman, dressed in black and walking along carrying her raised umbrella over her shoulder, was struck by a car and killed. A re- construction of the situation re- vealed that a person so attired on a night similar to that of the fatal accident could not be distinguished from the background. It Is the duty of the pedestrians and the motor vehicle operators together to exhibit greater care, the one for himself and tho other. for his fcl- lows who must walk"

Mr. Mozart offered some advice
to officials of these companies on
creation of good will at the hearing
on abolition of gross rates Monday.
Many working people get paid at
noon on Saturday, Mr. Mozart said.
They hurry over to the utility
office, only to find the door closed in
their face.
Then if the ten days for pay
ment have expired, they return on
Monday and are assessed a 10 per
cent penalty. 1t would be simple
matter, it seem to me, to have some
one stay at the office and take the
money. I am sure that it would
more than pay for the cost of such
service in increased good will"

CITY PAVING PLANS
SPURRED BY COUNCIL
Ordinance Speeds Program
for Federal Aid.

The program to construct four
miles of city streets with 100000
provided by the federal public high
WAYS fund, was furthered Monday by
passage of city ordinance author
ling the mayor to proceed with
negotiations with the federal gov
eminent.
In order to obtain federal support
in the street building project, the
mayor must enter into an agreement
practically pledging the city to
maintain the streets.
Streets to be constructed are Six
tenth street, from Northwestern
avenue to the Emrichsville bridge;
Lafayette road. from Sixteenth
street three blocks northward;
Northwestern avenue, from Six
tenth to Thirty eighth streets, and
West street from Sixteenth street
southwark to the Bluff road south
Of the city.
A proposed bridge will be erected
over Fall creek at Sixteenth street,
if the project materializes, and a
new bridge will be erected over the
creek at Thirty eighth street and a
section of Emerichsville bridge will
be cut of to eliminate sharp turn.

airplanes of 1888 are soaring and
the prospectorS are covering in
a day a territory that would have
required years only a decade ago.
No such lost mine has been
found, but there. is a story that
indicates it may be-or, at least,
what the worldwide gold rush
means. Down in the jungles of
Panama a group of prospectors
stumbled upon an old mine the
Spaniards abandoned to the jun
giles more than three centuries
ago. They discovered it still con-
tanned gold in paying quantities.
A Canadian mining company got
interested and provided working
capital.
And out of Toronto roared an
airplane-not bound for the White
North, but for the jungled south.
In the plane was Noah A. Tim
minis, 70, grand old man of Can
adam mining. Far up in north
ern Ontario there is a town
named for him. Years ago, as a
hit-or-miss prospector, he dis
covered one of the finest produc-
ing gold mines, and today he
owns stock in several of the great
est producing gold mines in the
north.

mountains must be crossed to get
to the gold. BY trail, through
valley iungles and over rocky
heights, the trip requires two
weeks and more. The airplane
makes it in Seventy-five minutes.
The British company developing
the Bulolo fields uses two tri-mo-
tored Junker planes, which make
five round trips each day. All seats
were removed from one plane and
hatch was cut in the top of the
cabin. Into it was loaded a steel
shaft that weighed $3.50 pounds
and the plane lifted it 5000 feet
and landed it safely at the fields.
Another day the plane trans
ported three-ton boiler. Hun
dreds of trips were made, but the
camp is now equipped with
dredgeS that weigh 1900 tons
each, with steam engines, tractors,
sawn1ill and a complete hydroe-
electric plant.
How much gold the Bulolo field
will produce, nobody knows.
Whatever amount, it will be just
that much added to the world
supply. Meanwhile, the search
goes on in a dozen other formerly
impenetrable spots.

today.
Their trouble started when ga
rage owner at Greenwood tele-
phoned the sheriff's office shortly
before midnight to say that three
suspicious men in a maroon sedan
stopped for gas and were headed
toward indianapolis.
Later, the proprietor Of a filling
station at 1919 West Washington
street reported that boy had come
into the station saying that he had
left three suspicious" men south of
Greenwood after their maroon

boy said he had been given a lift
by the three men.
Acting on the boys information,
police went to Srague's nome,
where they found three young men
divesting themselves of overalls
For several minutes the police sub
jected the trio to a grilhng.
Sprague and his friends ex-
planned that they bought overalls
and started for Terre Haute. On
the way they picked up the boy who
was hitchhiking. They told him
they were bandits from Chicago

But gold, as every old pros
pector will tell you, is where you
find it. And it is easier hunting
for it now, for the burro's tail is
no longer the prospector's COM
pass; the prospector has been
given wings.
One of them may save machine
civilization. But that, it should
be added, is farthest from their
thoughts. What drives them forth,
prospector and humble placer
miner alike, is the price of gold.
With gold selling in the open
market at around $50, with 2
dozen countries giving bounty
beyond that and grub-staking any
adventurer who is willing to seek,
gold hunting has become a good
business as business goes these
days. Even if a prospector does
