South Africa

Although South Africa is famous
for its rich and productive gold
mines, individual prospectors have
found this country less fruitful
than California or Australia. The
reason lies in South Africa's search

CHICAG O.-Conserving the

just as important a household saw

According to research conducted

are several recommended ways to
make sure that the housewife

First, the wrong mental attitude

housewife should simplify her work

Second, eliminate e hold
nuisances and chores which clutter
up a homemaker's day. Such "clut-

Burglary Suspect Burns
As Robbed Safe Open

LOS ANGELES. - A burglary
suspect here is convinced that crime
not only doesn't pay, but it some
times develops an ironical twist
fit to make any self-respecting
criminal blow his top.
Clifford L. Aubertin, IS, confessed
bitterly to police that he carted off
a 2O0-pound safe from an automo-
bile accessory shop and garage.
First he logged the bulky strong
box to his car. After driving to a
secluded spot, he pushed the safe
200 yards up a hill and battered it
open with a sledge hammer. Inside
he found $3.50. o
Officers who arrested Aubertin as
he slept, resting from his labors,
added the browning blow:
The safe was unlocked all the
