the raw with the scars Of old
operations still unhealed and
they get a peep into the Wis
cera of the old earth. There
are deep caves and there are
open gashes which give the
scientists some marvellous cross
sections Of a continent in the
making.
The anthropologists piece
out the story of the Piutes, the
Diggers, the Mojave Indians
and the other tribes who were
there when Death Valley
Scotty was away uptown. For
some reason or other, the In
dianS seemed to like the place,
although the temperature
works up to 1876 degrees in the
summer time. and miraculous
ly they pegged out some kind
of living.
The Piutes and the Mojaves
used to fight a lot; their few
survivors have brought down
with them some interesting
war songs and legends, and
the anthropologists think the
valley may turn up some miss
ing chapters in early Indian
doingS.
Uncle Sam, elsewhere, is try
ing to put out of business a
lot of land. This looks pretty
marginal and at first glance
it is not quite clear why he
is using his CCC army there
with the tent caterplllars eat
ing up fruit trees everywhere
else-but, spying on the Gov.
eminent, you find it has it's
reasons. Death Valley, in
Southeastern California, near
the Nevada line, is about on
a line from Los Angeles to
Salt Lake, route which
lodges the formidable barrier
of the Sierra.
The automobile and the air.
plane together, plus wells and
water conservation, make it a
lot less Of a nightmare than it
used to be. In addition to the
present fine landing field,
there will be others, and there
will be, of course, an extension
OF the new road system.
At this stage Death Valley
can be considered on it's mer-
it's, rather than merely as
Hollywood material, and there
is more there than meets the
eye. 1t is still a rich reposi-
tory of chemicals and minerals
the early-day miners took
out fortunes in borax, inter and
potash. Two hundred years
ago the Spanish were taking
gold and silver out of the val
ley. In the seventies our
miners got not only precious
metals but copper and zinc.
UNDERGROUND WATER
A newspaper friend, who
proWled through the valley
with Death Valley Scotty, tells
me that only the hellish eli
mate and the lack of water
has prevented the building of
stamp mills and smelters and
the development of fabulous
mineral resources. So perhaps
Uncle Sam knows what he is
up to after all.
The Armagossa River, flow
ing from the PanamintS, makes
a discouraged assault on the
bottom of the frying pan and
oozes off into the sand, as do
all the other rivers which feed
into the valley. There is
plenty of underground water
there, if they can find it free
from salt; in certain places
the soil is rich and fertile,
once they get water on it. But
just now the verdure is mostly
cactus. Joshua trees, grease
wood, chapparal, yucca palms
and chuckwalla.

Opening Death Valley

OPNhANS DNotH oAIN
Here's something odd "a
travel folder listing Death Val
ley as a nice place to visit.
They have hot dog stands
there now. But there used
to be a sign at the Rhyolite
entrance:
Persons entering here will
please wear a brass identified
ton tag so their folks won't
have to pay expresSage on the
wrong bones"
Now there are neat signs
telling about routes, filling sta
tions and hotels.
The CCC workers account
for a lot of this. making roads
and digging wells. The air
plane, too, has wrought great
changes. One can hurdle the
worst desolation and find the
picturesque and habitable
places. At Furnace Creek
ranch there is a good airport
and a good hotel. Rhyolite,
the entrepot to this remodeled
inferno, is the town where
Charley Schwab scooped a mil
lion out of the Montgomery
ShoShone mine. It is now a
ghost town.
Uncle Sam has taken over
1901, 800 acres in the 400-mile
stretch of the valley-the low
est area on the continent,
some of it nearly 300 feet be-
low sea level. About 400 CCC
workers have laid out 80 miles
of good roads and sunk wells
every 10 or IS miles. Some
times they get fresh water
easily. In other locations, wells
have been dug 1000 feet, with
only salt water accruing.
NATURE IN THE RAW
Prehistoric saline waters
made it the great salt sink of
the country. Nature was in a
mad mood, and she gave the
mountains a grand tossing
around when she readied this
place for the horned toads
and the Piutes-and possibly
now, for the tourist. It's grim
nomenclature gives the gen.
eral idea-Death Valley, Flu
neral Range, Dante's View,
DEVILS Golf Course and Dead
Mans Pass.
The desert mountains are
wrinkled or contorted, or else
shooting up rapidly, like a
harmless butte that has been
feeding on loco weed. Heavy
naturalization and absence of
vegetation make tumble Of
purple, chrome, red, lumber and
ochre, softened by distance or
the heat haze, but still looking
something like that venerable
electric sign spilling paint over
the world.
From this lowest continental
level you look up to Mt. Whit
ney, 14,501 feet high. the tall
est peak in America. Vagrant
prowling winds lash out from
the jagged Panamints, swirl
ing clouds of dust. You have
been told that VOLCANOES were
popping around here in the
early days; you have an un-
easy feeling that maybe even
yet the authorities haven't
quite gotten things under con-
troll.
The sight of a fat and COM
placent policeman would be re-
assuring. One sees urban
looking citizens in khaki and
puttees driving or tramping
here and there. They are apt
to be biologists or ethnologists,
many of them under the Gov
eminent, making Dantesque
excursions not only into the
inferno, but clear along the
back trail to it's remote be-
ginnings.

SCHOOL TO TEACH
 PRE-NUPTIALS

Holyoke, Mass, Nov. 27-(UP)- Prospective brides and bridegrooms have been invited to 8 pre-nuptial school will open the second week in pitfalls that lead to divorces. The school wil lopen the second week in January under direction of the Rev. Nose Lowell, pastor of the Second Congregational church, sec- ond largest church of its denomina- tion in the state. He will be as- sisted by other educators. The adage that two can live as cheaply as one along with other fallacious theories will be dispelled, according to Rev. Lowell. The students will be taught to judge for themselves whether they are picking temperamentally suited mates.
 "Mismating is caused mainly by the fact that most young people marry in haste and repent at lei- sure," the pastor said. "The place to stop divorce is before the young people ever get married"
 The school vii lbe open to young people between the ages of IS and 25 in Rev. Lovell's congregation of 1900 members.
 Three years ago in Waterbury, Conn, he established a financial service for his congregation whereby he interviewed creditors and debt- ors and attempted to adjust their differences.

TEACHERS PLAN
 CIVIL SERVICE
Causes for Discharge Is Cited-PrOpOsals Come
 Before Meeting

Teachers may be discharged only for immortality, inefaciency, or un- professional conduct" states the teacher tenure committee of the Connecticut Teachers association in the tentative proposals for 'civil service" recently issued as a result of their study of a ''new deal for teachers"
 The civil service proposals seek to do away with dismissal of teachers for political reasons. A plan of continued service without annual reelection until given ade- quate warning and notice of intended discharge is advocated. The plan al- so includes other safeguards against outlined injustices. The proposals will be presented for approval by the teachers at their next meeting in December, and if the association so decides, will be incorporated into a bill to be presented to the next assembly.
 The tenure committee of the state association has recently changed its name to the "civil ser- vice committee" and will ask for the continuance of its work on the study of tenure during the next year in order to gather more evil dence in support of the new propo- SalS,
