the teapot precipitation. At the
same time. however thrilling are
the possibilities of occult chem
istry. it seems hardly practical
as a means for industrial recon-
struction that is so badly need
ed at this time.
For instance, out here in the
Larchmont community we want
playfield, baseball park, a
tennis court, a shelter house,
wading pool. etc. To have all
of this will require vast
amount of both energy and SUBJ
stance, spirit and matter. There
fore. even though we are ex-
ceptionally good thinkers out
here in the suburbs, it is doubt
full whether we will ever be able
to precipitat these things from
the atmosphere. Ny suggestion.
then, is that We raise the energy
for doing these things here with
in our own community.

HOROSCOPE

This is not an important day
in planetary direction. Neptune
is in benefic aspect. but this may
not be a lucky sailing date.
Heart and Home: This is not
lucky day for women. The
stars may cause unrest and de-
preston. In many places the
temperature may cause discom-
fort. As the wearing of uni
forms will be widespread the
summer heat may be felt b.
girls who are engaged in diff
cult tasks.
Business Affairs: Agriculture
that depends upon irrigation Ii
under fortunate prognostica-
tions. While many farmers will
suffer from unusual crop condi-
tons there viii be renewal of
optimism among those who pro-
vide grain and other food ma
terials. Wise government poll
cies will aid the production of
fruits and cereals. The problem
OF workers for fields and orch
ards will be serious. brt will be
helped by the employment of
farmerettes.
National Issues: Pers soma
opinions now should be SUBJ
merged beneath national loyal
ties. The habit of criticism which
will be encouraged by subversive
agencies should be overcome.
Although free speech is guaran-
teed by the constitution. perils
lie in the spoken and the writ
ten word.
Persons whose birthdate IL Is
have the sugury OF a year of
steady advancement. For those
whose a)rns are unselfish much
success is foretold.
Children born on this day
probably will be fortunate all
through their lives. They should
be healthy. wealthy and wise.

ent territory in which 10000 un-
regimented people live. lying be-
tween old Austria and Switzer-
land. Although a protectorate of
Switzerland, it enjoys good

Most Liechtensteiners believe.
however. that IS miles does not

interest the Nazi aggressors.
The ties between this country
and Germany were very close
prior 10 the Hitler regime. Most
of the citizens attended German
universities. admired their neigh
bor,s progress in science and the
arts
One famous Liechiensteiner
who studied IN Germany was
Joseph Gabriel Rheinberger. who
was honored philstelicslly by his
government in 1889 on the CEN
tenary anniversary Of his birth.
Rheinberger was born in Vaduz,
Liechtenstein, March II, 1889 He
studied al the Munich conserva-
tory from 1881 to 1884 and in
1859 became a professor there.
From 1850 10 1855 he was organist
Of the MichelSkirche and then
court conductor.
His best known works are Die
Sieben Rsben," Turner's Toeh-

standing New York advertising
firm. Under the terms of the
agreement. the company Will
test whether it pays to advertise
when Uncle Sam needs sailors.
The area covered in the first
samplings includes the states OF
Missouri, Indiana and Iowa. the
cost of the experiment is S340.-
600. Members saw some irony
in the inclusion of Iowa. That
state stands first in naval en-
listments per capita, and fourth
among all states If population
figures are disregarded.
Committee members are in
clined to be critical. but in
quiet sort of way. For all his
talkativeness and unconvention-
atty. Mr.. Knox has put over
several ideas which were
frowned on at first by his aides.
He has done an excellent job OF
publicizing and headlining the
navy. He has served as F. d. r. S
best salesman in arousing sup
port for an aggressive foreign
policy. So the honorable gentle
men are reluctant to criticize
too severely until the returns
from the enlistment campaign
are in. He may fool 'em yet.

GHOST-WRITING
HAS ITS ANGLES

Congressman Ross Collins has
written a letter to Secretary
Stimson denying that his maya
zine articles criticizing the
armys organization and war
plans were ghosted for him by
a free lance writer named Dom
aid Wilhelm.
Stung by the Mississippi mans
criticism, protagonists of the
army have said that Wilhelm is
the real author. Although the
ghost-writing industry has
thrived at the capital for many
years. the men in the war de-
partment thought it might de-
tract from the effectiveness OF
the articles if they were pub
licized as a secondhand product.
Collins says that Wilhelm has
done research for him and
checked statements for their sc-
curacy. He comedies that the
magazine editors have done con-
siderable retouehing and rewrit-
ing of his manuscripts. The con-
gresham admits freely that the
published material was taken
from speeches he has been de-
livering on the house floor for
many years. But he insists that
for all practical purposes the at
tackled pieces are Of his own
production.
Amos I every statesman at
Washington. including the pres
ident. employs one or more
ghost writers. No stigma at
taches TO the procedure, proyid-
ed the finished article represents
the views Of the man whose sig
nature is affixed. But Chief Of
Staff Marshall's bushy, white
eyebrows pro ably will do
squads right when he hears that
one OF Mr.. Collins collao orators
gees by the name OF Wilhelm.

Thsr's Gold in Them
Naches Hills
Freshenine Up on Us
And the japanese
Suggests isolation for
Isolstionist Lindbereh
FRANK C. ROSS. who has
L spent about so years IN
various activities pertaining 10
development in Tacoma. sug-
gests another reason why we
should build the Naches cutoff
to provide a direct highway con-
nections between Tacoma and
the great Columbia basin area.
Besides stretching straight
across the state from Tacoma. it
would provide for the opening
OF rich mineral area in the
Cascades.
In 1884 Frank was a member
of a syndicate which undertook
the development OF a gold prof.
ect in the Cascades. Purdy Flint,
whose name will be remembered
by many of the old-timers and
by some not so old, discovered
gold in paying quantities on
Mount Stewart, above Gle Elum,
but did not have money to de-
veIop the claim. He brought
samples of the gold to some of
his friends in Tacoma and 10 of
them-including Ross, Allen c.
Mason. Fremont Campbell and
John E. Berg-put up $4,000
each to make further tests.
Accompanied by Purdy and
some of the hackers, Ross made
a trip to the property. There
was no transportation from this
side and the trail was in bad
shape, so they went TO Portland,
then up the river to Goldendale,
up the Status pass trail to Old
Yakima and came into the prop
erty from the east side.
They found the PROSPECT
better than Purdy had repre-
scented II, but because OF the
difficulty In reaching the
property development was
slow. Then. out of a clear sky,
came the "panic of the nine
ties' when moneyed men In
Tacoma and elsewhere In the
west were knocked over in
rapid succession.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1941-07-30

The gold project. with a lot
Of others. blew up.
Ross. who Is familiar with the
Haches pass country. pointed
out on the map yesterday how
the proposed cutoff would open
a rich mineral section that has
been prospected but never de-
veloped because there was no
way 70 take in the necessary
equipment and bring out the
product.
As early as 1885. prospectors
found gold in paying quantities
in the Mount Stewart area and
there was some interest in that
district early in the late but not
lamented depression when those
hardy enough to do it made
better than wages digging in the
hills or panning the streams.
But always there was the diff
Guilty of getting in and out. To
those who know the country. the
Naehes cutoff will be step
toward opening a district where
there is evidence not only of
gold but of other essential min
erals.
In all the furore over Japna, II
will help keep the record clear II
We 60 back TO the old history
books and read of some OF the
exploits for which Commodore
Perry was honored. One OF these
was his last expedition to Japan
to establish trade treaties with
that country.
Up 10 that time Japanese
were content to go about their
business In a small way with
no thoughts of expansion or
aggression. The germ of
''new way of life' for the jap
anese sprouted In the minds
of American businessmen who
wanted greater share of
what Japan produced.
The trade treaty which awoke
the Japanese was negotiated
with the guns of Commodore
Perrys ships pointing toward
the shore. OF course it is not
of record that the commodore
said he would shoot If the treaty
was not negotiated, but more
than once benevolent assimila-
ton" has been accomplished by
the use of gunpowder.
One of those whose hobbies is
writing letters to the editor,
contributes the following under
the caption, Isolation:
Just a few years ago Charles
Lindbergh was using every

trying to do their job. A large
portion of the American public
understood and sympathized
with our then national hero.
IF those same hard working
reporters were to reverse the
process now, and dodge Lind
bergh, a larger portion of the
American public would under
stand and sympathize with
them.
America gave him opportu-
nifty. Englnad gave him sane
tuary. The nazis gave him a
medal. Let the press give him
what he seeks-isolation, and
we'll all be happier
