have no voice.
When THE Mother" was pre-

have heard virtually all of the lead
ing aggregations before June's moon

acies. Next pair on the list are Vim

latter one of the newest swing sensa-
tions. The Earle gives Mr.. Lopez
to the city next week, Mr.. Clinton
comes along later to the Capitol.
For years, one of the masters of
all that was sweet in song, Mr..
Lopez recently has conducted a
merger between the old and new
styles. The result is known as
"suave swing" which precisely def

X-Ray Proves Valuable
In Studying Paintings

The X-ray, probing beneath the
surface of famous paintings, has
aided modern art students by re-
vealing the technique of old mas
tiers and determining the authentici-
ty of questioned paintings, display
of more than 100 photographs at
Harvard university's Fogg art mu-
scum showed.
Under the Roentgen or X-ray, the
original and retouched parts of a
picture are Immediately revealed.
Thus students are learning the art
Of restoring damaged parts Of paint
ings by studying those which al
ready have been skillfully retouched.
The museums research depart
ment also has used both the short
infra-red and long ultraviolet rays
in addition to the X-rays to deter
mine whether several questioned
paintings were genuine. A portrait
by the colonial artist Copley, when
examined under these tools of mod
ern science, showed that another
artist had not only retouched dam
aged parts, but had painted over
the entire original work.
In another case, an anonymous
artist, realizing that part of mas
terpiece which he had touched up"
was not as good as the original,
painted over the entire canvas, thus
concealing, until the advent Of the
X-ray, valuable piece of work.
The Roentgen ray will even show
what part of picture has been
painted first. It revealed that when
artist Niccolo da Foligno painted
the central figures Of one compost
ton; he left the rest to be filed in
later by an assistant.

U. S. Seeking Rdre
Metals in the West
Project Financed to Make
Nation SeIf-Supporting.

TUCSON, ARIZ. - The federal
government, alarmed at the lack OF
domestic supplies of certain metals
deemed necessary in wartime, is
conducting $250,O00 campaign to
find new deposits Of the metals in
the West.
The search, scheduled to run over
period of more than four years,
will be directed in part from the
u. S. bureau Of mines Office in Tue
son.
Such metals as tungsten, chrome,
antimony, tin, manganese and 9th
ers which this nation ordinarily is
forced to import, will be sought In
the western United States by engi-
neers of the bureau.
The survey will be financed by
funds from 0,000, 900 grant made
by the last congress to make the
United States more self-sufficient In
mining of the metals which become
vitality important in wartime indus
try.
The survey thus far has designat-
ed eight projects in the West which
will be worked by miners and the
minerals sold to the government.
Arizona as yet has not been ac-
corded one Of these projects, but
engineers of the mine bureau are
studying for deposit locations in
the desert and mountains and the
state will "get its share of work" if
the project is continued, according
to E. D. Gardner, supervising en-
gineer.
Reports of the governments ap-
preparation already have led to con-
siderable activity among Arizona
miners. A tungsten claim is being
developed and several claims have
been filed around the Globe Miami
districts where tests show possible
presence Of rare metals.
Other miners are finding it profit
able to work the deserted gold and
silver mines in search for metals in
which the government has shown
interest. Ear-y miners were inter-
ested solely in gold or silver de-
posts and may have overlooked
bodies of important minerals.

Scientists Seek Proof of
Ancient Man in Oregon

PAISLEY, ORE. - Discovery of
remnants of a lost civilization that
once dwelt in the Pacific Northwest
millions of years ago, is the object
of an expedition led by DR.. L. S.
Gresham, Oregon university scien-
fist, into the little-known lake coun-
try near Paisley.
It is now generally believed in the
scientific world that man inhabited
this portion of the continent many
centuries ago and that this particu-
lar civilization was wiped out in the
explosion of Mount Mazuma, the
area now known as Crater Lake.
The party hopes to bring back
more proof Of this ancient civiliza-
ton as well as fossils of the cam
els, elephants and horses that once
ranged over the old lake country of
south-central Oregon.

SAFETY EDUCATION GAINS IN
SCHOOLS
SCHOOLS

An accelerated movement for safe
ty education in grade and high
schools in many parts of the country
this Fall is reported by Kenneth N.
Beadle, education director of the Ma
tional Conservation Bureau, after
his return from a series of accident
prevention lectures in fourteen col
leges and universities.
"The high attendance at the lee
lures and courses gave proof of the
greatly expanded interest in safety
education among the nations teach
ers," Mr.. Beadle said. Supervisors
and teachers told of plans for organ
izing junior safety councils, bicycle
clubs and safety patrols to supple
ment the instruction their young
sters are getting in safety classes.
Schools in increasing numbers are
establishing driver education pro-
grams, including road instruction
for high school classes wherever
possible. A significant development
is the addition of Massachusetts and
states which have adopted MAN and
the Motor Car" as the textbook for
use in their high school courses Of
instruction in street and highway
safety. The list includes also New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Oregon, Nebraska
North Carolina, South Carolina,
North Dakota and Connecticut.
Teachers and school heads every
where are sold" ON the value Of
safety instruction as an aid to in
telligent living" Mr.. Beadle added.
"Only economic conditions keep
some school systems from widening
their safety efforts. Meantime they
are perfecting plans to launch bal
anced programs of accident preven-
ton at the earliest opportunity"
