Maj. Dugas said that instead OF

had drifted in from a lower level

but the new exploiters went in
under it, shot their charges and now

Maj. Dugos Stops
Here With Specimens
From Mine

He wasn't sure whether that small
piece of gray rock was worth $500
or 81 900, but Maj Graham c. Dugas
was certain that his poke after Is
years of prospecting could be filled
to overfloWing with a few we'll
chosen pick blows.
Before the days of the Conquista-
dors the Cherokee Indians named
the locality Dahlonega-land of yell
low earth-and 1t was here that the
World War flying major made his
strike.
Maj. Dugas stopped off in Wash
ington briefly yesterday, en- route by
Eastern AirGnes to his Georgia
home. to present to the Smithsonian
Institution and the Bureau of Mines
specimens from his strike in Georgia
which some believe will turn out to
be richer strike than the famed
Comstock lode in Nevada, which pro-
duced more than $3.50 900 900 in yel-
low metal.
The former Army test pilot said
he spent Is years prospecting before
he "struck it rich" The realization
that his prospecting days were over
and that he now had become mine
owner of no little means came last

ners set off large dynamite charge
in a lower level under the old Cal

Cherokee Indians were the first tc

Later John c. Calhoun became
interested and took over the rights
with some success. The mine was
handed down through the family
and finally the mining rights went

A graduate of Georgia Tech and
Notre Dame, Maj. Dugas said he
did not anticipate such values when
he took over the mining rights
State assayers recently have valued
the ore content as high as s6o,O0l
gold per ton, he said. Maj. Dugas
took over the mining rights for

ment; all those things which have pleasant, normal sound.
 But other men have been reading the news dispatches from Washington in their favorite papers They are decent Americans, like MT John J. Jones; they wish ill to no one and desire only to meet the rent bill and to feed their families
 In about 1O00OOO0 of the 30000000 American families meeting the rent bill has not been easy.
 About 3,0OOOoO of these families are kept going by wPA jobs The remaining 100000 are just man. aging to make ends meet
 "Whewl" says Joe Jones, WP.A, worker he reads the dispatches which indicate that 100000 WPA jobs are to be wiped out. This means me. :" He buys 1O-cent lunch instead of two-bit lunch that day. The old shoes are pretty well shot but maybe they can be resoled just once more. He has that done passing by the window in which he saw the s395 shoes he had wanted to buy
 Behind that window stands MT. John J. Jones, businessman full of confidence)
 "Wow!" says Jim Jones, shoe worker as he reads the paper He knows business has been slow. Tn the back of his mind has been the thought that if he were fired WPA might find place for him. WP.A. has been comforting ace in the hole. But now
 Can we cut down little?@ he asks his wife. Lets save three bucks week. that's lot of money these days"
 You can bet your eye teeth three bucks week is lot of money. If in 10000000 homes, frightened
 
 like portent of disaster, three bucks week be saved, that makes S30,000000 week, $13000000 a month That would be money snatched out of the cash registers of American busineSs-almost much in a month the entire WP.A. cut will save.
 And would taxes go down? If business loses $780, 900 a month in volume, Government loses at least S25 100000 in tax based that volume. That saving of s15OOOoO0O may turn out to be the most expensive economy the nation made.
 Joe Jones, on WP.A. Jim Jones, shoe worker, are very important people to MT. John J. Jones' business man.
 They customers. Mir. John Jones may think he needs confidence. What he really needs enough other Joeses front of his counter to make the cash register play sonata in nickels dimes and dollars
 It is Joe Jones who needs the confidence, and Jim Jones who needs it. Confidence that they going get by, that buying pair of shoes dozen towels, a new suit, little radio small insurance policy won't break them
 Confidence at the bottom means customers. Plenty of customers confidence at the top.
 
 What good is it for MT. John J. Jones to be full of confidence in empty store? What good is it for MT John J. Jones to be full of confidence while his customers frightened?

Planes for France
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

To call the manufacture by private American companies of war planes for the French government alliance" between Washington and Paris IS to paint commercial relationship an international agreement. It is unjustified and has no basis ln truth The fact that the National Munitions Control Board under the Neutrality Act of 1937 must issue licenses for the export of aircraft may give some people a wrong impression of the facts.
 For months after the start of the Japanese war in China the Tokyo government bought planes and parts in the United States. These shipments to the Far Eastern aggressor were eventually stopped the governments request Washington realized that in point of fact it helping Japan against its own interests Legally under the licensing law, the ship mentS could have continued, no state Of war has been found by the executive to exist in the Orient
 France is not at war. No will suggest that by supplying her with planes we will be injuring our ultimate interests. Many contingencies can be foreseen where France because the political level and aims of her people closely akin to our own, would be reality fighting battle. In the event of actual conflict between France and other nation, in which the United States was not directly involved, the neutrality law would halt the shipment of planes it would other claSSificatons o1 and ammunition
 The only danger in shipping American planes abroad is the handicap it may place on the United States own force. It has been the policy of the government permit the export of the most mod en types The French have sent mission to this country to make emergency purchase of 500 war planes Half of these will be the famous 75A Curtiss Hawk pursuit plane, of which made the amazing record of 575 miles an hour in free power dive last week. Export of this marvel of the air is permit ted only by the fact that the army has faster and more modern ships under way
 Britain has already purchased 200 light bombers and 200 training planes in this country There is no logical reason why the French should not also be per mitted to make these purchases long as they do not interfere with our own defense program. As a matter of fact many factories would be idle wait ing for the new American program to get under way, were 1t not for foreign orders
 There IS danger of making a fetish of neutrality. To call these French purchases alliance" comes near to doing so. That attitude is not neutrality Neutrality consists largely of looking after ones own interests while trying to stay out of any conflict.

WORKING FOR UNCLE

In the year 1892 there were 19l,77l persons who took examinations for positions in the civil service of the United States In 1886 this number had increased to 82O6Sl. Since then the figures have grown even larger
 These statistics may be interpreted in two ways: One is that Government employment profession is appealing and people; the other that and more people are out of job and turn to the Government as a safe port in a storm.
 Government employment when protected by civil service. means continuity, it means security. The pay is fairly satisfactory the work is not too srenuuos and when enc grows old there is pension These are most desirable things
 On the other hand, promotion is slow and per sonal ambition forge ahead is dulled by cast-ron order of succession. Yet there is security
 A depression does not mean being turned out into the cold world The ups and downs of business dc not affect the man in a Government position

 Conflicting planetary aspects are active today, according to astrology, but there is little danger of adverse domination. The mind may be in- clined toward discontent and unrest through the early morning.
 Labor today is well directed and the stars promise improvement in working conditions among adults, though children who toll appear to :, be overlooked. os
 Decrease in unemployment is fore cast, but it will not be on a scale that diminishes relief expenditures to any extent
 Theaters, the opera and concert halls should profit. New methods of amusing the pleasure-loving public are prognosticated. s
 Severe weather in many parts of | the world will continue late in the spring, if the stars are rightly read. Heavy losses through floods may be expected in the United States in places not hitherto inundated. A London astrologer foresees Rus sian interference in the war in China, although he prognosticates a crisis affecting the power of Stalin. The spring quarter is to be period of change, it is predicted.
 Egypt is now under rule of the stars which is fairly favorable but there. are evil portents for the sum- mer Many tourists are presaged for the coming months.
 Television is to become popular before the end of the year after sweeping improvements have been made in the management of radio communication and the programs offered over the air.
 Girls may find this a lucky date for making friends among eligible young men, but there is little chance for real romance.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of uncertain ties that finally may become profit able. Unexpected good luck is fore cast for many

A Seldom-Used Weapon
Cincinnati Ennnirerl


 Impeachment is not effective weapon when even majority of Congress would like to remove ciyl officer of the executive judicial branch In all our national history there have been but nine Federal impeachments and in these cases only three persons were convicted and removed from office That is a small record for a century and half Of history
 The introduction of an impeachment resolution directed against the first cabinet member raises again the question of this rarely used power of Congress In contrast to the rule in England m- peachment is possible in Federal Government only for treason, bribery other high crimes and mis- demeanors It has been used largely to seek to re- move Judges, because these cannot be removed from office by any other method
 Only once m American history has a cabinet off, cer been mpeached-Secretary of War Wilson W. Belknap in 1876. He was charged with bribery or something akin 10 it. and eventually was acquitted, having resigned meantime It requires a majority vote of the House to mpeach thirds vote of the Senate to convict
 Mrs Perkins is under fire because Of her failure to press deportation proceedings against labor leader Since impeachable oiienses are limited severely by the constitution and do not apparently include failure to act with the ygor expected by opposition members of Congress, there is little reason on the surface of the facts 10 anticipate impeachment in this case or even debate on the question
