Savings Bonds
Continued From First Page.)

savings bondholders get their
cash and start spending it at a
time when goods are getting
scarce, the price-wage spiral will
be given another upward whirl.
So the Treasury is thinking of
announcing that. if you will just
keep on holding your maturing
savings bond after it natures, it
will pay you interest right along
and at an attractive rate; say
per cent. For instance, you
bought some E-bonds in 1941
when the Treasury appealed to
your patriotism to help in the
armament of that time. Your
bonds come due in 1851. For every
$75 you invested in 1941 youtwill
receive in 1881 500, or $25 more
than you invested. That is ar
average interest rate of 2.9 per
cent on your original investment
How Things Stand Now.
AS matters stand today, once the
E-bond natures. interest ceases
II under present conditions you
fail to turn in your E-bond when
1t is 10 years old but keep it an
other year or two before turning
it in. during that extra year or two
your bond earns no interest. The
Treasury is thinking about offer
ing you interest as an inducement
to you not to cash your bond.
However, if you none -the-less wish
to get your cash, you will be able
to do so, even though the Treas
ury makes the offer. There will
be nothing compulsory about it.
The Treasury's object is to raise
as much money as it can through
bond issues with a minimum of
inconvenience to existing bond
holders and with as little expense
to itself as possible. The auto
matte extension of the life of out
standing savings bonds certainly
has great appeal to the Treasury
in this respect.
In extending the life of matur-
ing bonds, the Treasury might fix
q new ultimate maturity date, be-
yond which further interest
would not be paid. Or it might
simply announce that interest
would continue to be paid on the
now maturing bonds until such
time as three-months notice of
discontinuance is given. The
scheme would be put into effect
by regulation published in the
Federal Register. But some think
q law would have to be passed
first, to authorize the Treasury to
pay out the extra interest.
Alternate Plan Suggested.
Another scheme for handling
the maturing savings bonds which
has been under consideration in
the Treasury is the Offering of q
new series of savings bonds along
with an appeal to the owners OF
maturing bonds to put the pro-
ceedS of the old bonds into new
and similar ones. There is a big
question, however, whether this
method would produce as much
money for the Treasury as the
automatic extension of the life OF
the bonds.
Consider again the 500 E-bonc
you bought in 1941 for $75. II
next year the Treasury asks you
to reinvest the 500 you can get
for the bond at your bank or at
the Treasury, you may be in
clined to say: "I'll reinvest the
original $75 in new savings bonds
but I'll spend the $25 the old
earned for me-" Remember, too
that as of today the Treasury
sells no savings bonds for an even
500 per bond. A "$100 bond" one
worth 500 ten years from now
sells for $75.
Therefore, some have suggested
to the Treasury that they issue a
new series of SAVINGS hondS Sr

Wild Mouse Hunt
Encounters Snoq
In New York Park

NEW YORK.-That nationwide
wild mouse hunt by thousands of
high school students interested in
studying the little rodents-which
was to have been sponsored by a
cancer research laboratory-has
been called off in this state by the
game laws of the city's park de-
partment.
DR.. Clarence c. Little, director of
a famous cancer research instltu-
ton, started the whole thing some
months ago when he called upon
the $50, 900 boys and girls in $4,000
science clubs throughout the United
States to trap 10 species of wild,
outdoor mice that scientists would
like to know more about.
The students were to domesti-
cate and breed the small mammals
in their school laboratories and OBJ
serve them for signs of cancer and
other diseases, as well as for
genetic variations. Thus a nation
wide effort, which would be pro-
hibitive in cost if left to specialists,
would have been achieved.
UP to now, DR.. Little reported,
thousands of students in thirty
seven states and the District OF
Columbia had responded to the call.
Detailed instructions were sent
them by the laboratory, but since
the work is necessarily slow no re-
suits had been reported yet.
In New York, small groups OF
students in the Bronx high school
of science, Prospect Heights high
school and Manual Training high
school in Brooklyn became in
terested. Seven girls and five boys
from the two Brooklyn schools
made traps under the direction OF
Harry Cole, science teacher in
Manual Training. for setting out in
the public parks.
That was when the parks de-
partment halted the hum. No traps
could be set in the parks, an Off
cial ruled, because, in the first
place, squirrels might get caught.
And, In the second place, there
were no mice in III parks. anyway.
The department is proud OF It's

Varied Program Given
At Meeting Of Laurel
Garden Club Thursday

Despite cold weather a large
number of members turned ou-
Thursday afternoon last week tt
attend a meeting of the Laurie
Garden club at Mrs. T. W. Evert's
home, where Mrs. Evert's daugh-
ter, Mrs. M. r. Finley, was coop
Grating hostess. Among the sub
jects considered were birthstOnes
flowers appropriate to the differ
ent months, what to do about
misunderstanding moths, the way
faring viburnum and treatment for
aphis.
At the present the club each
time it meets is having a short
resume on the birthstone and
flower of the month in which the
meeting is held. For January the
president, Mrs. P. A. Johnston,
presented pink carnations and gar
net rings to Mrs. William Gerke,
Mrs. r. o. Steele, Mrs. Helen
Shearer, Mrs. E. B. Conrad and
Mrs. Frank Platz, whose birthdays
are in January. They also receiv-
ed special little cakes with lighted
candles at lunch.
Mrs. Hugh Phelps reported on
the destructiveness of the clothes
moth. The small moth seen flying
III the evening eats cereals, not
clothes. Clothes moths very seldom
fly and like to live in the dark.
Adult moths do not eat anything.
They lay eggs that hatch into
larva that destroy clothes and
woolens and also ruin silks and
cottons. They like a place where
there is moisture, so a basement is
an ideal breeding place for them.
Clothes should always be cleaned
before storing. If moths are in the
house a DOT spray may be a help,
but no sure cure is known.
Mrs. E. B. Conrad reported on
viburnums, a large genus of widely
distributed shrubs or trees of the
honeysuckle family. They are
among the most ornamental and
useful shrubs for general plant
ing and have attractive foliage
which usually takes on good fall
coloring. They all have. opposite
leaves and are best known
as the commonly called SNOWFALL.
On account of aphis there are very
few in Laurel. To overcome the
which causes the leaves to
curl, one may begin spraying be-
fore the leaves appear then morn
ing and evening with a sharp spray
from a water hose, which seems to
nelp. A spray which includes mis-
oil, followed by a spray of
Nicotine sulphate and soap as soon
as the leaves begin to unfold, aids
reducing the infection.
The club will meet Feb. 9 with
Mrs. P. A. Johnston. The roll
all will be an original verse on
day and also a valen-
line drawing.

Kiwanians Hear Tale
Of Pioneer Cemetery
Continued from Page One)

to be buried there. Nearly YER
batim this is what he said, as hs
recalled what had been told hin
by people living here Is years be-
fore he came:
"On the night of Feb. IT, 1884, g
band of Indians crossed the Vel
lowstone river on the ice at a point
just south of Park City. These
Indians. belonged to the Piegan
tribe. They had been visiting the
Crow reservation at Hardin and
Crow Agency and We're on their
way to their home reservation near
the Canadian line. The settlers
around Park City had some good
horses at that time, and these
thieving Indians could not resist
the temptation of stealing some of
the best ones and continuing their
journey home.
THE next day the white settlers
saw what had happened; they or
gained a posse and started in pur-
suit. The weather turned extreme
~ cold and that added to the haz-
ards of the trip. The posse went
up Valley creek, crossed Lake
basin and on to Hailstone basin
just beyond Rapelje. There they
overlook the Indians.
Reports differ as to just what
happened, but the generally ac-
copied story is that the Indians
were asleep and could have been
killed easily. Some members of
the posse felt that W. thieving
Indians should have a chance for
their lives, so the Indians were
awakened. They offered no re-
sistance and complied willingly
with all orders from the whites.
This disarmed the whites to the
extent that in an unguarded mo-
ment the Indians started to fight.
"In the battle that followed, two
white men were killed, also one
Indian and at least one horse. The
two white men killed were Joseph
Tate and Chauncey Ames. The
bodies were brought back to Park
City and buried in the then ac-
copied burial ground, which we
now call Pioneer cemetery. Also
buried there is Milton Herbert,
brother of Henry Herbert, and
about six or eight other persons"
Corwin told how last spring
several Park City and Laurel peo-
pie undertook to save the old
cemetery from extinction. After
expenditures of work, time and
some money they succeeded in hav-
ing the tract, and right-of-way for
a road to it, transferred by the
state to the Park City Cemetery
association.

and the Kiwanis members were in
vited to contribute if they desired
to do so. A collection amounting
to $13.25 was taken up and given
to Ray Stevens, custodian Of

Science Attempting
To Get Black Cold
From Coal Reserves

LARAMIE, WYOMING - AL
chemists Of the middle ages who
toiled over their base metals hop
ing to bring forth gold had nothing
on a group of scientists here at
the University Of Wyoming.
In a government research lab
oratory established here in 1916,
these modern alchemists are strug-
Cling to produce "black gold" or
oil from the states 620-billion tons
Of coal reserves. This supply has
been estimated by the bureau of
mines to be the largest in the
nation.
Concerned over the rapidly di-
minishing oil reserves, congress
passed the synthetic fuel act in
1914 which authorized the bureau
of mines to conduct research and
operate demonstration plants to
solve the problem.
According to the bureau Of
mines. there are two main pro-
cesses for the direct production Of
synthetic liquid fuels from coal.
These are the INCORPORATION pro-
cess and the gas s%ynthesis process.
Both are German developments
and are said to be directly respon-
sible for carrying Hitler through
five years of war in the absence
of natural deposits.
Stripped to it's essential, the
coal refrigeration process meth
cd involves the forcing OF hydro
gen into the complex coal mole
cules and removing oxygen so that
their chemical constitution is
changed to approximately that of
petroleum. The result is the lique-
faction of the coal substance.
The other process, gas s%ynthesis,
changes the coal to water gas
through steam. This mixture, car
bon monoxide and hydrogen, is
then passed over a solid catalyst
at relatively low p%ressures and
temperatures ranging from 300 to
400 degrees. Under these condl-
tons the gases combine to form
oils and wakes.
