Athlete Can Sell Out
to the Highest Bidder

"I'm not kicking. They treated
me swell and-what's that? Sure,
the coach knew that I had played
professional baseball. When was
still in prep school the coach per-
suaded that Blue Ridge League club
to hire me.
CASE B.-A now famous hockey
player was a versatile schooIboy
athlete in his native Canada. The
representative of a big-time East
ern SiWash showed him how he
could get good education free Of
charge by entering a selected Amer.
lean prep school and preparing for
the Eastern SiWash.
Everything was lovely until he
was ready for college. Then he
learned that the coach at the East
ern Siwash had accepted higher
salary at a distant university. Nat
urally the coach wanted company
and offered some fancy induce.
ments, but the athlete refused to go
so far away from home.
"Within week after that had
offers from is colleges" the athlete
says. "He (the coach) had passed
the word around that he had with.
drawn his claim to me and that !
was free agent"
CASE ca small, unheralded

team in an intersectional contest.
Several days later I was talking

This Lad Was Willing

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 n 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, 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 n
single permanent boom camp has
sprung up. Lodges cleaning with
gold and silver simply are not being

City Over $500 Years Old
Barred by..Archeologists

An entire Egyptian city, built
1890 years before the birth OF
Christ, for the first time in history
has been laid bare in all the splen-
dor Of its careful town planning.
1t was built between Cairo and Lux
or by the great Pharaoh Akhenaten,
who here tried to rid the Egyptian
religion Of its abuses.
But the city, with its professional
way, coronation hall, and temple OF
the shining spirit, lasted no more
than ten years, passing with Its
founder. The new pharaoh moved
the capital OF Egypt to another site,
and now John Pendleton heads a

necessity for cutting down the fed
eral outgo unless the nation desires
to see its public debt go far beyond

Recent developments have made 1t D ossible for engineers to con- struct broadcasting and receiving equipment capable of reproducing images several miles away with vir- tually the clarity of home motion pictures.
 In @ recent demonstration, 6 und-picture broadcast from ex- perimental station W3XE in Phila- delphia was received with clarity by a group of newspapermen observing television under home conditions at suburban Rydal, seven miles away.
 Photographers took tirne-expo- sures of portrait as 1t was received on. the home set and the result revealed remarkably clear repro- duction. Headlines on a news paper page were legible and ob- servers read the correct time from the face of a pocket watch seven miles away.
 Set to Be Improved
 Despite the approaching prac- ticality of television, the Radio Manufacturers association has op- posed any attempt to place it on the commercial market until the prod- uct is perfected.
 James M. skinner, chairman of the television committee of the association, listed five objectives which must be achieved before the average citizen may sit in his home and see the performers he hears on the radio. They are:
 l. National operation under a basic set of specifications for stand ard broadcasting and receiving sets, to be used by all manufacturers.
 3. Clear-cut, well defined images.
 3. Nationwide coverage with res- ervation by the federal communities tons commission of certain wave lengths exclusively for television. < {. A selection of programs 50 that the public will be able to receive 6 high caliber of entertainment regu- larly.
 s. Low cost receivers and more economical broadcasting equipment.
 Patents May Be Pooled
 The radio industry hopes to form & pool of all television patents, similar to that which was used in the automobile industry. Tn order to give all cooperating manufacturers the benefit of their competitors re- search, skinner said.
 The set used in the demonstra- ton at Rydal, typical of experi- mental receivers, appeared ct first glance to be . large console type radio. The front of the cabinet held two dials--one for tuning sound and the other for focus ing" the image, but engineers ex- plained that commercial sets prob- ably would bring in both picture and sound on one dial.
 The underside of c hinged lid on the console was 6 large mirror, Raised to an angle of 46 degrees, it reelected to listener observers the images. which appeared on the fiat end of Q cathode ray tube, set in the top of the console.
