Gold Mining,

This is an industry that is rather
contrary one. When prices are high
and people prosperous gold is cheap,
but when prices are down and other
business depressed, then gold is valu-
able and gold mining f1ourishes. So,
two notably large mine hoists have
been installed in Canada to mine gold.

 President Howard S. Palmer ex- pressed Q positive beliefe that the trustees, which include, besides him. self, J. L. Loomis, president of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Go. and Professor Withrop Daniels of Yale university, "can do a jot that will enable the New Haver railroad to perform the finest trans. portation service ct the most req gonable cost that southern New England has ever experienced" Professor Daniels, who heads the department of transportation at Yale university, and is well-verSed in railroad affairs, stated that "a readiness to experiment and Q live. Ilier interest in the requirements Of it's patrons will do more to take the New Haven road out of receiver ship and put 1t back on Q paying basis again than any other two fac- tors. These two principles we in- tend to inculcate Into our workers, and we cannot fail to progress thereby" he added.

ITALY HOPES TO

By STEWART BROWN

United Press Staff Correspondent Rome, Nov. 20.-(UP)-Italian hopes of opening Q breach in the sanctions wall erected by 52 mem- bers of the league were rekindled today while the foreign office studied foreign reaction to 1taly's protest against punitive measures.
 Effectiveness of the economic "Seige" may be lessened, Rome hopes, by bilateral accords with na- tions still willing to trade with Italy.
 This hope has been bolstered by news that various foreign ministers were enough impressed by Italys protests to make certain reserya- tions affecting their nations par ticipation in penalties.
 Possible future requisitioning ol private gold holdings was fore. shadowed as the gold monopoly created by royal decree yesterday become effective.
 Henceforth, all gold transactions of Italians, at home or abroad, are to be controlled by the National In- stitute for Foreign Exchange, work ing in collaboration with the finance ministry.

 FROM HUSBAND

 Frank Mead, Of e73 Wildwood street, Brooklyn. charged his wife took 9260 from his pockets after Q drinking party with friends.
 After the jury had been selected today Judge Nova said, unless l ain in error, my recollection is that the defendant in this case is the wife of the complainant"
 Assured she was, Judge Nova read c supreme court decision supporting his ruling.
 Tt must now be every husband for himself in protecting those few extra dollars in his trouser pockets, he said. "Of course, what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander A wife cannot Dc prosecuted fot stealing from her husband but by the same token Q husband canno, be prosecuted for stealing from his wife,"

 They showed many 1907 cartridges of European make, mostly Belgian .37 sporting caliber with lead noses nattened to infiict c terrible wound.
 It was alleged the Ethiopians were fiattening the bullets after re ceiving regular cartridges from Eu- rope.
 The specimens exhibited were said to have been seized from captured towns or during Skirmishes. It was said the bullets accounted for the high mortality among Italian wounded. When leg or arm is hit, 1t is generally broken and frequent- ly has to be amputated.

 Why the Woolworth heireSs was not included was not disclosed by the mysterious board which rulet the destiny of the publication. Some observers, doubtless inspired by ma lice, have hinted that good name dropped now and then creates con- siderable publicity.
 Reason For Erasure
 Tn the 1885 edition Countess Bar bara appears as Princess Alexis Mdivanni. The fact that she dis- carded the somewhat dubious Geor- gian title for the authentic lineage of the Danish Nobleman may have caused her elimination. Or 1t may have been because she intends to spend much of her time abroad.

 Although some observers have as- e.sed the shift in delegation strength was in order to give strong new deal states an advantage, t was asserted that the number oi delegates from each state was based on the number Of house members from that state.
