Associated Press Stiff Writer)
 NEW YORK - Two important things happened to Mark Evans, young mining engineer, during the snoW-locked winter he spent alone in the Canadian wilderness.
 Evans found vien of gold ore of fabulous promise. And he fell in love with Kathleen McDingle.
 When his miners pick uncover ed the yellow metal he had come to search for, he knew his days of poverty were over. In the spring he would be able to sell his dis covery for at least Sl,000,0O0.
 At night when the wind beat against the tight-closed door of the old, abandoned cabin he had made habitable, he would stretch out in front of his log fire and dream of what he would do with his riches.
 Travel. Yes-he would see all the strange cities he had read of in his boYhood. He had been poor and lonely all his life. Now he would change all that.
 It was then that Kathleen Me Dingle came into his life in an odd way. While cleaning debris from a shelf over his bunk, he found a scrap of newspaper apparently torn from the society section.
 The caption beneath the picture said she was Kathleen McDingle of the McDingles of social-register fame and that she was visiting

ditions in the Territory. He said that since the southern part of the territory were in favor of the state idea, they might make a state out of the First and Third divisions and leave the balance of the country as place of refuge for people to go when they are taxed out of the state.
 ak, .locoie3kshrdiu shrdlu shrd sh
 A. Polet, local merchant, and Howard Lyng, former legislator from the Second Division, both stated to the committee they were filing briefs in favor of statehood.
 Other problems discussed were the breakwater and tranAporta- tion, being the two problems fac ing Nome in particular.
 The committee members were all in favor of legislation to help Nome in its battle against the sea. In view of the usual procedure in such cases the breakwater must be handled as an emergency, in that the City of Nome will disap- pear if the erosion is allowed to continue. When asked about the strategic importance of Nome in the defense picture, he said, all Alaskan cities are of strategic i'm portance.
 H. F. Harper, local garage own CT, presented the committee with a copy of the breakwater report made by a committee of the NWA Chamber, of which he is a memb- CT.

 at present because of labor short age as there were only about 100 men on the payroll in place of the usual 400 or 450 who worked for them before the war. He stated that the operations this year was necessarily limited to thaWing for future dredging.
 He said, "I can't see what fut- ure there is in the gold business when we can't sell our gold on the open market"
 Rep. Crawford is mem Der of the House Banking com mittee, and maintains that the United States is not on the gold standard and that it is illegal to have a supply of gold in ones possession.
 Mir. Crawford asked the group if they were in favor of statehood for Alaska. To which c. R. Jack son, president of the Miners and Merchants Bank of Nome, replied, T am against statehood now be- cause I think it would cost too much, we couldn't support a state, with only about ten or fif- teen thousand to pay the taxes"
 Carl Lomen,. general manager of Lomen Commercial Company stated he was against statehood at present in that he believed taxes would be too high, and that there would be no improvement in con-

friends in Montreal.
 There were no books in the cabin, no newspapers, no radio. In the snoWbound weeks that fol- lowed, Evans studied the picture more and more. In time he fell head over heels in love with her.
 By gollY. I'm going to marry her!" he told himself suddenly one night. To lonely young man who had just found a gold mine. if didn't seem a strange decision. He began making his plans.
 When spring came, Evans went to leading mining company with his ore samples. In a few weeks he closed a deal with the firm that assured him of his million-and more. He left at once to find Kath- leen McDingle.
 The house was big and old and impressive. Mark felt a little tim orous after ringing the doorbell. The door swung open and he found himself gaWking into the face of a beautiful girl with long dark hair.
 You're Kathleen?" he stam- mered.
 'Yes," she said pleasantly.
 You're even prettier than the picture" said the bemused young engineer.
 "I don't know what" she started to say uncertainty. But Evans didn't let her finish. His story came out in swift torrent of words. He told her of his gold strike and the discovery of her picture, and how he had come to love her.
 Here" he said nervously as he finished, and pulled the worn pie ture from his wallet. She studied it and then looked at Evans strangely.
 "Mother!" she called into inc in- terior of the room. "A sweef-faced, graying woman of middle age came out.
 Look at this, Mother!" said the girl. The older woman glanced at the picture and exclaimed:
 Why, wherever did you get this, Kathleen? That picture of me was taken in Montreal in 1920 when l was married!"

Garden and Lawn Control
Of MoIes Recommended

Most gardens and lawns suffer
some damage by moles tunneling
under crops, injuring sod and caus-
ing unsightly washes. The common
moles feed largely on earthworms,
grubs, cutworms, beetles and other
harmful underground pests, and
only rarely do they eat corn or
other planted seeds or bits of roots.
BY feeding on harmful under
ground lawn and crop pests and by
stirring the soil moles would be de-
cidedly beneficial, if they did not
at the same time damage crops
and lawns by their burrowing activ-
tiles. Where erosion is not serious,
moles may be beneficial in mead
ows, pastures and waste areas.
1t is not easy to completely pro-
tect a lawn OF garden from moles,
but by using traps, hand destruc-
ton, a mole-killing dog and strong
smelling repellents one can prevent
much of their damage.
Moles have a very keen sense of
smell and can be driven to other
feeding grounds by dropping moth
balls, chunks of carbide, crystals
of paradichlorobenzene or similar
chemicals through small holes
made in the surface of their runs.

Daily Use of EIectrOn

When Sir ]. J. Thomson discov-
cred the electron so years ago, it
was given the name from the Greek
word for amber, because amber can
be electrified when rubbed with
wool. The electron has been an
elusive idea for more than 20 CEN
turtles. 1t remains somewhat elu-
sive because, while it partakes of
some of the properties of a particle,
scientists are fairly sure that it is
not a hard little marble of matter.
1t is the smallest element of an
atom, and bears a negative cleo
trical charge. In recent years, a
positively charged counterpart,
called a positron, has been identi-
fed. While the electron is an in
tangible tiny particle, scientists
know how to use electrons, and not
one day of our existence passes
without using untold numbers of
electrons. Historically, the first
electronic tube was built and used
for scientific purposes by Sir
William Crookes in the 1905.

ter of Scotland" says National Geo.
graphic society, for 40 of Scotland's
rulers are buried there.
On the island, only one by three
miles in size, are the well-preserved
ruins of the Abbey church or cathe-

new roofing timber. The site first
held an abbey built in 1903 by Regi-

The rugged, rock = bound isle,

the Atlantic, is now the home of
about $50 persons. The one-street
village is called Threld, but its
Gaelic name signified "the great

In 563 COLUMBIA built on Iona his
monastery, later destroyed by
Morse invaders. Repeatedly recon

Order house about 1900. Ruins of
the nunnery include the chancel,
nave and parts of the vaulted roof
of the chapel. It's most recent tomb
is that of the prioress who died in

st. Oran's chapel in the cemetery
is Iona'S oldest structure. With its
high gables, this 80 by 16 foot
chapel was built in the 18th century
on the original site of st. Columba's
church, the first Christian church of
Scotland. St. Oran was one of st.

Older than the chapel is st. Mar

Intelligence in
u. S. DECLINING
Birth Pattern Is Blamed by
Expert for Condition.
Quotes Commission.

WASHINGTON Possibility that
the intelligence of the American
people is declining has been dis
covered by population experts. That
this may be true is agreed to by
some top educational leaders.
They expect the presidents COM
mission on higher education to rec
ommend broadening of the whole
American education system to in
crease the quality and quantity of
national leadership.
But Guy Irving Burch of the Pop
ulation Reference bureau, a private
research organization, says the
most alarming threat to intelli-
gence is the pattern of human re-
production.
He quotes bureau of census fig
ures to show that parents with the
least mental and financial ability to
raise children produce twice as
many children as parents of highest
intelligence and income.
Studies in England for the royal
commission on population, he says,
suggest the number of feeble-mind-
ed in England may double within
so years and that there will be only
half as many students of scholar
ship ability"
Fewer Good Students.
DR.. Francis Brown, staff associ-
ate of the American Council on
Education and executive secretary
of the presidents commission, says
he agrees with the population bu-
reau that under present conditions
average American intelligence
seems to be declining.
But he says "this population-in-
telligence report does not give
enough Importance to the possibil-
ity of improving intelligence by
education.
"It emphasizes the part heredity
plays in human intelligence. 1t i'm
plies that, because of the law of
.heredity, in the majority of cases a
child will have about the same level
of intelligence as his parents. And
it also implies that because chill
dren are more numerous in the
poorer families the average of in
telligence is dropping to the danger
point.
"What it overlooks is this: HUI
man intelligence never has been de-
geloped to its fullest among the
great masses of people. No way has
been found accurately to measure
ultimate capabilities of the hui
mind.
