Reunion OfHoLy Cross Graduates Here
 Marked By BriELinnt Discourses On Church
Father Earls Is Brilliant Speaker = Archbishop
 Murray Sends Gift

Reminiscing humorously of early days at Holy Cross, during which he recalled several college charac- ters familiar to Waterbury Inem- bers of the alumni, the Rev. Michael J. Earls, s.J., well-known poet, lit- erateur, former member of the Holy Cross college, and at present representing the college at alumni gatherings all over the country, de- lighted nearly Q hundred members of the alumni from this city and vicinity last night in the Hotel Elton at the annual banquet of the Naugatuck Valley club of Holy Gross college.
 Father Earls was quick to con- gratulate the local chapter on the fine record 1t had established in set- ting up Q scholarship fund. He de. clared that 1t would be Q marvellous incentive to creation of similar proJ- ects in many other parts of the country, where alumni groups are organized.

London Tower Fortress,
Palace, Prison in Turn

The tower, situated on the banks
OF the Thames. is perhaps London's
most interesting historical monument.
Surrounded by a moat, it dates back
to the Roman period, and in turn
has served the purposes of for
tress. royal palace, and a state
prison. 1t is now a show place, mu-
scum, and military barracks.
The tower has been associated
with the darkest scenes of English
history. Its oldest part. the White
tower, was built by William the Con-
Queror, outside what then were the
walls of the city, to overawe the in
habitants within them. The walls
of this Norman work are from IL to
10 feet thick. In the Wakefield tow
er, built by Henry III in 1860, lie
the crown jewels. The memorial re-
tains an atmosphere of grandeur
and grimness unsurpassed in Eng.
land. Anne Boleyn, mother of Queen
Elizabeth, spent her last night there
before being beheaded The spot
where she and many other person
ages were put to death may be seen
by all tourists.

ROMANCE OF GOLD
BOOMS BELIEVED
A THING OF PAST

The days of the big "strike" are
over, many observers of the west
ern mining scene believe They point
out that the new approach to min
ing boom" is a silent one, made pos
sible by improved machinery rather
than spectacular discoveries of
glory-holes or rich placers. Mostly,
the new activity involves reclama-
ton of values long known to exist
in proven districts.
Years ago, in the days of the great
rushes, the cream of the placers was
skinned, because they were the
easiest found. But because a rich
vein deposit may exist in prospected
ground and remain undiscovered,
widely divergent views on the poten-
tial ledge wealth have been held.
Following the devaluation of the dol
lar, a great impetus was given to
western gold mining. Thousands of
seekers moved back to the hills. OBJ
servers held hopes that numerous
major discoveries would result from
the work. In the main, they have
been disappointed.
From the millions of dollars spent
in mineral development in the South
west in recent years, scarcely
single permanent boom camp has
sprung up. Lodges cleaning with
gold and silver simply are not being
found.
Although thousands Of workers
have crowded into the placer fields
and some are making scant livings
with little in the way of equip
ment, the University Of Arizona
has estimated their average earn
ings in that state at little more
than % cents per day. "They run
an excellent chance of starving to
DEATH" placer bulletin warns.
Total value of production, how
ever, may outstrip that of early
days, because of the large number
Of fields now workable with i'm
proved machinery. The industry, II
less spectacular, now seems estab
lished upon firmer base.

given simply to the bell of the clock

Ben's chime is little more than a
whisper compared with what it might
be, for the bell is cracked, and the
huge hammer originally made for it
cannot be used in case it might
wreck 1t.

1890 years before the birth of
Christ, for the first time in history

1t was built between Cairo and Lux

But the city, with its professional
way, coronation hall, and temple of
