70 Motorists Forfeit
Licenses for Speeding

Seventy-nine motorists were de-
prived of their drivers licenses dur
ing July to slow down their craving
for unsafe speeds, the drivers license
division of the highway department
diScloSes.
Seventy seven driving permits were
suspended for varying periods Of time
and two were revoked outright. Sus-
pensions for the month totalled 204
Fifty lost their right to drive as a
result of convictions for reckless driv-
ing, IL for running through stop-signs
and signals, three for illegal passing
and 81 for failure to show financial
responsibility. License revocations OF
suspensions for all but the latter Of
tense, are generally considered extreme
penalties, imposed only upon "repeaters'
who have previously been warned OF

this is the season too many people are
reporting with ear troubles due to va
cation carelessness at pool and beach
What happens in many cases is tibet
the swimmer goes into the water with a
cold in the head" the doctors say "He
dives or swims under water carelessly
and water is forced into the nasal pas
sages and into the tubes leading from
the nose to the ears. The inflamma-
ton spreads to the middle ear and il
leads to a chronic infection of the tubes
and to impaired hearings
In such cases, the bulletin says
prompt treatment is essential to clear
up the infection and the victim must
avoid and more damage to nasal and
ear passages from diving and under
water swimming.
Best of all, according to the bulletin
is prevention of ear troubles from swim
ming. Everybody who swims and dives
should be instructed on how to breathe
to prevent getting water into nasal
passages and nobody who is suffering
from any kind of respiratory infection
should risk trouble by going in swim
ming.

CONSERVATION
BRIEFS

Wisconsin and Minnesota conserva-
ton authorities agreed on between
the tracks" angling reciprocity for the
boundary portion of the Mississippi
and approved several major changes
in interstate water regulations at a
joint meeting.
Officials emphasized that pending
formal signing of orders making the
changes, regulations will remain the
same as in the past. The orders are
expected to be formally approved in
a few weeks.
Under the ruling Wisconsin cane
pole fishermen, who are not ordinarily
required to have license as are rod
and reel fishermen in that state, would
have to buy state license to fish the
reciprocal zone.
A proposal that the boundary waters
be opened to spearing of northern
pike met chilly reception from the
Wisconsin commission which voted
unanimously against it.
A Wisconsin committee member said
at would be long step backward to
permit the spearing of game fish in
any water over which the State of
Wisconsin has jurisdiction"
Spearing of rough fish except from
dark houses is to be permitted under

SAFE DRIVING
BY Douglas Nankervis
Chief Of Police.
LET THERE BE NO
CREPE ON YOUR DOOR

SRETE YIN IOUh DUR
"Gone for Labor Day" can have a
double meaning.
1t can indicate that a family is
making pleasant excursion by auto
mobile to visit relatives and friends at
distant points, from which they will
return refreshed and happy.
1t can also mean that one or several
members of a family are "gone for
ever'-fOr this Labor Day and all
Others-the victims of wantOn careless
ness on the highways. Left to mourn
them are pitiful forlorn survivors,
broken in body and health.
The 1871 holiday accident score is
469 killed Decoration Day and 62S the
Fourth of July. What will Labor Days
be? That all depends upon how many
careless or drunken drivers get be-
hind a steering wheel and tear off
down the highways of the nation to
bring disaster to themselves and others.
The principal cause of automobile
accidents is speed, so don't be in
hurry on your Labor Day trip. What
good are a few minutes saved by
speeding if you chance to lose your
life for the balance of all time by
doing so?
Wherever you go, or whatever you
do Labor Day, be careful, drive care
fully. Let there be no crepe on your
door next Tuesday.

English Pupils Turn in
A Profit From Farming

MAYFIELD, SUSSEX, ENG
The pupils of Mayfeld school have
started farm.
They rented field for $50 year,
plowed it for sowing and then bought
rabbits, ducks, pigs and sheep.
They also have a market garden
and the whole venture is paying so
well that he children-none Of them
older than IA, are planning to buy
another field next year for wheat.
The boys made all the huts, need
ed for stock, in the carpentry class
at school. When the chickens were
due, the girls carried the eggs into
their classroom and hatched them
in incubators.
F. w. Hitchin, headmaster Of the
school. interested the children in
starting the farm. He got the edu-
cation authority's permission.
1.-THE whole thing is working very
well, indeed. The farm helps the
nations food supply. AS for educa-
tion-well, all our pupils are learn
ing to farm. They do their own
bookkeeping, so that helps their
arithmetic" he said.

MISSIONARIES

Selective Service registrants who

Nor will they be required to re-

who have already received their
questionnaires must complete those
missionaries and return them to
the local boards. Under the Sc

Chattahoochee River
Contains Much Gold

You've probably been thinking all
these years that the murky color
Of the Chattahoochee is caused by
mud. But unh-uh. You know what
that color is caused by? Gold.
Yessir, there's gold in that river.
You can take Benjamin p. Tug
gle's word for that, because after
three years Of secret labor. he has
perfected, he says, a machine which
will extract colloidal gold from
the Chattahoochee.
He says that $45, 900, 900 worth Of
the precious metal washes down
the stream annually, and he esti-
mates that with the use Of his new
machine he can realize q net profit
Of $50, 000. 900 yearly.
Tuggle says he will install his
machine in the river near the Ros-
well bridge where, he points out,
tests have shown colloidal gold.
far finer than float or '.flour"
gold. can be recovered by his secret
process at a rate Of from cents
to 5 cents worth per ton Of water
processed.
Tuggle explains the source Of the
gold by saying it has been eroding
from Georgia mountains for GEN.
turies and finding its way into the
Chattahoochee.
He claims his machine has been
tested and proved successful. In
fact, he revealed that he already
has obtained $6 or 81 worth Of gold
in some Of his tests.
Capt. Garland Peyton, director Of
the state mining department, who
has checked Tuggle's work and his
invention, says, I'VE have yet to
see any conclusive evidence Of the
ability Of his machine to proatably
extract gold from the Chattahoo-
chez. AS yet he hasn't done enough
experimenting along orthodox lines.
He has used his own machine and
his own method"
