OUTLAWS OF EDEN
SYNOPSIS

At the close OF the Mexican war,
Robin Kershaw. with his bride, rode
into northeastern California Here he
found an ideal valley for cattle rails
ing. They christened II Eden Valley.
Below Eden Valley is a less valuable
tract which Kershaw's wife christens
Forlorn Valley. Joel Hensley. Texan,
settles in the lower half of the val
ley. There is bad blood over fences
and water for irrigation. Kershaw
kills Hensley and the blood-feud is on.
BY 1917. Rance Kershaw. his son
owen, and daughter Lorry are all that
remains OF one clan. Nate Tichenor
Is the sole survivor on the Hensley
side. He goes TO help Lorry in her car
and finds her father has died of heart
disease. Silas Babson, Forlorn Valley
banker, schemes to control the irriga-
ton and hydro-electric possibilities OF
Eden Valley. He proposes to play
Nate against Lorry. assuming that
they are carrying on the old feud. in
this way getting control of the key
lands necessary to the project. Nate,
however, has no intention of carrying
on the feud. He tells Lorry that he
and owen Kershaw, Lorry's brother,
met in France just before owen was
killed. They became buddies, and Nate
promised that If he survived Owen he
would look after Lorry as a brother
might do.

Ocean to Yield Up Wealth?
Extraction of Bromne, of Immense Value in Industry
Now Being Carried On, and Scientists Are
Promising Other Miracles A

the near future is the theory that
in extracting the bromine, the gold
content in the sea water becomes
ionized. or electrically conductive.
Gold, being In the form of colloid-
al suspension, is much more diff
cult to remove than bromine, but IL
1t becomes ionized, 1t could be fl
tered by making 1t adhere to some
cheap chemical substance.
One of the chief obstacles to the
profitable extraction of gold from sea
water has been the prohibitive cost
of pumping. With the water already
running through the plant for the
elimination Of br0mine, gold could
be made by-product. The water
pumped up in the course of one day
in the bromine process contains more
than $1,000 in gold. 1t also contains,
in varying quantities, radium, silver
and many other valuable elements.
There are 60O,OOO,OOO pounds of
bromine in a cubic mile of water. In
the plant, $4,000 pounds a day are
removed from 100000 gallons of
water, or approximately 100000
worth of bromine annually. In that
same cubic mile of water there is
$10,00O,O00 in gold and there are
approximately 3O0,OOO,OOO cubic miles
of water in the oceans of the world.

HARD TO LOOSEN
ERRORS GRIP ON
POPULAR BELIEFS

Two eminent scientists at Atlantic
City, taking stock of the state of
knowledge, catalogued "eight popu.
lar beliefs that are not true'' thus:
"a child is Influenced by what its
mother sees or thinks before the
child is born; birth marks are
caused by what mother sees or
touches before her child is born;
in former times the average length
of human life was much longer than
now; fat people always are good
natured; mental disorders are caused
by overstudy; children of first cous-
ms, though of good parentage, are
likely to be feeble minded; heavy
growth of hair on a persons limbs
and chest indicates great physical
strength; the theory of evolution i'm
plies that men are descended from
apes"
This list of beliefs unbiased in fact
is particularly interesting because
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1934-06-22

each of its items Is venerable cum
berer of the human mind. None of
these widely accepted errors is Of re-
cent origin; none of them arises from
the life of today; even the youngest
of them, that concerning the theory
Of evolution, is of considerable age !;
and all Of them have been contra
dicted by authority time and again.
Yet they persist in vigor apparently
unimpaired, and there is no sign that
any of them is giving ground under
the impact Of denial.
A belief once accepted by the pop
ulation at large has more lives than a
litter of kittens. The earnest incul-
Gator of sound doctrine who attempts
to dfslodge 1t undertakes an almost
hopeless task. Nor does this mean
that truth is Knocked. The untruth is
simply, often picturesquely. dressed !;
the exceptional circumstances that
seem to support 1t are wildly related
and remain in the memory, while the
growth of truth is likely to be drab
garment stitched with ifs and buts.-

Ten years ago commercial extrac-
ton of any of the score of valuable
elements present In the ocean was
as impossible as alchemy. Today It
Is an accomplished fact In the pro-
duction of bromine, a vital ingredient
in the manufacture of anti-knock
gasoline.
"And / feel safe In predicting that
within the next decade-and possibly
within the next year--we will be
able to recover gold. silver, radium
and all the other untold wealth from
the sea-" says Thomas Midgley,
whose research promises this mod
ern miracle.
Midgley, who received the William
Ell. Nichols medal of the American
Chemical society for his discovery of
knockless gasoline through the APP
plication of tetraethyl lead, then
continued: Now that we have
made one dream reality, it is only
matter of further technical devel-
opment and refinement of processes
before we make the sea loosen its
hold on fortune so fabulous that it
staggers the imagination.
"The process for taking gold from
sea water is no more difficult a prob
lem today than was the task of ex-
tracing bromine ten years ago. To-
morrow we shall probably be won
dering how we overlooked some
simple discovery that will unlock
the door.
I'm fact, the sea is the greatest
storehouse of wealth on the earth.
Once the secret of tapping it is
known. it will give man an mex
haustible treasurehouse of riches he
will be able to draw on for thousands
of years without striking bottom"
Bromine is used in synthetic chem
istry, medicine and the color indus

in the manufacture of what motor

1t is a dark reddish-brown non-
metallic liquid never found free in
nature but occurring in spring wa
tiers, salt deposits and certain silver
ores in addition to sea water. Here
tOfore it has been commercially pre-
pared from bittern, the residue left
after salt has crystallized. Midg-
ley's company has been working for
years on the problem of producing

Wallpaper Great Aid
In "Remakinp" Rooms

Wallpaper is a great aid for barn
like rooms with high ceilings. Here's
one recipe for bringing the ceiling
down" and making the total area of
the room seem less. Choose a paper
having a design in which horizontal
lines or patterns predominant and do
not cover the walls from the base
board to the ceiling, but to a point
about two feet below the ceiling

per border.
Then, extend the ceiling paper
down to meet the side walls. Thus,
you will appear to lower the ceiling.
Also, your eyes will follow the hori
zontal lines in the paper and the
room will seem less tall to you.
On the other hand. If you are pa
pering a small room with low cell
ing, choose wallpaper having ver-
teal stripes or patterns to carry the
eye up and to add to the apparent
height of the walls. And do not
drop" the ceiling. of course.
The best papers for small rooms
are those having tiny patterns in
light colors. Also, a scenic design
will do lot for the room, lending
depth because of its perspective.
When you feel inclined to be bit
hopeless about the architectural
drawbacks of your home-don't!
Wallpaper can correct myriads of
faults If you will give it chance

TELL WORLD OF
OLD-ACE SECRET
Three Essentials Named by
Physicians.

"Our hospital records and the doc
tors case files are bursting with in
formation regarding the frailties and
disintegration of old age, but only
the life insurance records contain
any great amount of reliable infor-
nation regarding the normal condi-
lions in extreme old age"
Thus Drs. Francis G. Benedict and
Howard r. Root of the nutrition lab
oratory of the Carnegie institution
in Washington introduced before the
National academy study of old age
which they have made on the person
of ninety-one- year-old Seth W. Lin
coin of Worcester, typesetter whose
body and mind may well be envied
by men half his age. Lincoln was
tested just as if he were piece of
machinery.
The speciality of Doctors Benedict
version of food into tissue and on
ergy. They measured Lincoln's basal
metabolism, that is, his heat produc-
ton, on an empty stomach in the
morning while he was lying quietly.
1t was so low as to indicate senile
debility and extreme muscular weak
ness. But Lincoln's quick move
ments, his active life, his strength
belied any such conclusion. SO Doc
tors Benedict and Root decided that
"this mans body machine is work
ing with extraordinary efficiency, and
that when it is not performing mus
cular work it resembles an automo-
bile engine while idling."
That this is probably the correct
view is indicated by a comparison
of Seth Lincoln with Sir James
Crichton-Browne (eighty-nine) and
the late DR.. w. w. Keen of Phila-
delphia, who died at ninety-fve.
Their oxygen consumption-which Ia
what is actually measured in basal
metabolism test-was also low,
though not quite so low as that Of
Lincoln.
The secret of Lincoln's longevity
seems to be his ease of mind He
has passed through life unruffled by
financial stress or great sorrow. This
in the opinion of Doctors Benedict
and Root has relieved him of much
of the excess tension and nerve-rack-
ing. wearing strain that come all
through life to so many of our in
tense American business men,"
How. then, is long life to be at

In the early days of the human

zones of peace like these,' says the
writer $50 we are told by DR. Wal
ter Hough, curator of anthropology
of the Smithsonian Institution. Stone
age man, far from being continually
at grips with nature, had friendship,
or at least a feeling of tolerance,
for the lower creatures.
Reporting these conclusions to
the Scientific Monthly, Doctor Hough
finds reason to believe that man sue
ceeded In demonstrating animals by
friendship, not by force OF mastery.
Most of the domesticated animals
we owe to efforts of early man In
Central Asia. There, Doctor Hough
believes, early man had a tempera-

Material Employed for
Nations Shoe Supply

There are approximately 100000
600 pairs of shoes manufactured an
nually In the United States. Women
get over 100,0o0,000 pairs of them,
men about 70,000,O00 pairs; boys and
youths, 100000 pairs, and misses
and children over 100000 pairs.
SO that 1t Is evident that the answer
to who wears shoes shows that
mothers and matrons get their full
share of this merchandise. Few per-
sons ever stop TO think that the
leather OF modern shoe was once q
hide on the back of a COW, or steer
that roamed the ranges of Texas. or
possibly Argentina; and that the
nails, eyelets, lace tips, counter and
the heel plate, were once iron ore in
q mine of northern Michigan; while
the 'spiffy' buckles and heel cover
ings were made In practically the
same manner that guncotton Is pro-
duced. With slight chemical changes
the manufacturers are able to turn
this near-eyplosive into beautiful
pyralin, and use 1t as it Is in vogue
today for ornamenting the shoes that
women and children are wearing.
Folk are stepping out nowadays, but
there aren't many of them who stop
to realize the stress of human brain
power that has been devoted to the
production of modern pair of shoes.

Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative

Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons?
The dose Of liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. It
forms no habit; you need not take
double dose" day or two later.
Nor wiH a mild liquid larnipe uritate
The kidneys.
The right dose of a liquid laxative
brings more natural movement, and
there is no discomfort at the time, or
after.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
Aproperly prepared liquid laxative
like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
brings safe relief from constipation.
It gently helps the average persons
bowels until nature restores them to
regularity. DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative
which all druggists keep ready for
use. 1t makes an ideal family laxa-
tive; effective for all ages, and may
be given the youngest child.
