  REFRIGERATION.

NEW YORK. A new era in penetration of the depths of the earth opens with the breaking of the heat barrier which has slowed prog ress of the 'hard-rock men" in the worlds deepest hole $500 feet, in the Robinson Deep mine of the Rand goldfield, South Africa.
 This hole is one of the three on different continents, all almost equally deep, all gold mines, and all now reaching the barrier where rocks are eternally hot.
 Tn heated rock is onv the topmost barrier which science faces. Deeper lie others, which if they should ever be penetrated probably would re- rquire the had-rock men to wear armor.
 The first barrier is about to be cracked at the Robinson Deep mine by erection, on the surface, of half a million dollar refrigeration plant by the Carrier Corporation, It uill send cold wind down three mile long shaft to the $500 foot level. It will relieve a temperature of 100 to 120 and humidity of 100 per cent at which the strongest hard-rock huskies work at only 30

Nome Speeds
 Recovery
RECEIVES HELP FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND THE
 RED CROSS

The origin of the Nome fire, which destroyed all of the business section including several residence is un- known. Among the buildings saved gre the haspftal, churches, schools, wireless station, and residences not located in the business section. In all, the burned area covered ten blocks in length and roughly, three blocks wide. Fortunately, no lives were lost. The water supply was delayed half an hour, which gave the fire such, headway that within four and a half hours it had swept the town. According to reports the wind was blowing forty miles an hour. The use of dynamite at the start of the fire might have saved many of the buildings. The fire was finally checked with dynamite.
 Before the embers of the fire had completely cooled, the work of clear ing the debris was we'll under way. and week later most of the wreck age had been cleared off. With gov ernment aid and the assistance of the Red Cross, the work of rehab- ;'itation is already in progress. The Red Cross is exrending S27,000. to assist in the recovery, the work is in charee of MT. Mccoy.
 There is at present 9 shortage of building material, but 8 million and 2 half feet of lumber left Seattle on fhe 28 of Sept. bound for Nome. The Steamer Delhi is also scheduled to leave Seattle shortly with supplies. The Steamer Victoria arrived in Nome soon after the fire so that there is nc immediate shortage of necessities. Tha Victoria is sched- uled to make one more trip before fhe freeze up.s..
 Oscar Winchell, of the McGee Airways, was one of the first flyers to reach Nome after the fire. With him flew Richard Wakelin, represen- tine the M.J,R. coffee, who went to offer the assistance of his concern to their customers in Nome. Also as passenger with Winchell was Rob- ert Scarce of the Signal Corps sta

"Why, it's trick of some kinds Jim. You can't let him do that!~
 More trouble for poor Jim, Helen thought with a sigh. And their wedding would have to be post~ poned indefinitely again. She winked quickly to keep her eyes from filling.
 He's been showing you pretty good time lately. hasn't ne Helen?" Jim asked. Maybe" he hesitated. maybe, you'd better forget about me-. She started at him unbelievinglys
 ''Well, he's made good and I'm not getting anywhere" he tried f0 argue. His voice was hard with the effort to keep it on an even keel.
 "Oh!" Helen gasped. Suddenly she turned and ran from the ro0n1s She didn't want Jim to see her crys If he could give her up that easily after she had waited all this time- She didn't know that after sha 1 left, his head sunk hopelessly t0 1 his desk.

 seemed to be no solution.
 As she sat down at her desk hen eyes fell on the contract agains When she had thrown it down a

 "Yes, that's it." Jim said. But what"

'Hello, babyi" Helen started as the office door flew open. Here's your big joy-boy. How's about dinner and show tonight?"
 "Why-why, I'd love it, MT Can- non," she smiled up at him.
 Don't Mister me, honey. I'm Bert to my special friends. Oh, incidentally, is your solemn old boss in ?"
 Without waiting for an answer, he breezed past her desk into Jin's inner office. They had some sort of deal on and Helen felt that even though she disliked Bert Cannon, she wouldn't spoil things for Jim by refusing the date.
 She hoped 1t was something big at which Jim would make a lot of money so they could get mar ried soon. His collection business had fallen off to such degree that they had almost given up hope. The door opened and both men came out.
 "Stick a piece of paper in your machine, beautiful, I want to- do some typing," said Cannon, chuck ling.
 Automatically, Helen rolled in a sheet and one carbon. She stepped aside and Bert sat down at her desk.
 "I'm not so hot at this" he said as he clicked away with two fin- gers. He typed slowly and when he finished the three or four lines, he studied the sheet carefully. At last, he pulled it out, not noticing that the carbon copy remained in the typewriter.
 Here we are," he said to Jim Its dated today and extends one month. O. K. ?"
 70. K" Jim answered. After reading it over, he signed the paper and gave 1t to Bert. "I'll be seeing you later on then?" Yep" said Bert. "And as fol you, honey" he turned to Helen | "I'll be seeing you round about five o'clock" He banged noisily out o1 the office.
 Jim turned to Helen: "You see dear, it's chance to make some money on the side. That was z sales contract I signed to sell $25t worth of wedding rings. get $20t out of it and pay him $50. I'll bu, one myself for you" he promised
