Just a year ago the picturesque lit tle western town, with a population of 5$ by the latest census, nestling be neath the beetling peaks of the giant Tetons in the heart of the famed Jackson's Hole country, startled the nation by turning uot its man-made administration and installing a town government made up entirely of wom en. The victory was all the more notable because of the fact that Mrs. Rose Crabtree had been elected to the town council over her own husband. Evidently the women of Jackson had decided to spoil the town's glamorous reputation as the rendezvous for bad, bold, two-gun desperadoes. The exact issue in the campaign a year ago was a matter for argument, but whatever it was the women won decisively. This year it was the same thing over, a three-to-one landslide. Daring the year's tenure, the five women of the town's administration managed to keep Jackson clean, mor ally and physically, and in addition, they brought about a number of, mu nicipal improvements.

DYING PRIEST TELLS SECRET Mexico City Contains Records of the ; Old Mine and Prospectors Have Reported Seeing the Ruins, but None Readied Them. Blsbee, Ariz. For 300 years, accord ing to reliable records, the Sierra Madre- mountains of Sonora and Chi huahua, Mexico, have held the secret of a gold mine of fabulous richness and a vast treasure store of gold, mined and hidden away in an" inac cessible tunnel. The romance of the gold hunter Is written in the history of man's efforts through the centuries to reach and bring back to civilization this wealth His Potato Patch ing grounds," Mr. MacDonald said. "Taking them from the bottom of the sea is automatic. Norway nas hundreds of H$uch industries. The only real hook for catching them, which works on a swivel, comes from there, and the so-called cod Uver oil, which invades the markets of the world, is really shark liver oil, manufactured in Norway." ; , r: , Nothing is wasted in a shark plant There is no finer fish meat than that made from the bodies of sharks. As a fertilizex it is superior to dogfish. The head of the shark is full of glue of a highly, valuable quality, and the fins are. a -much prized Chinese food delicacy, orientals' here- paying as mnrh as $30 a pound for it. The liver content runs from 60 to 70 per cent of finest oil, of which about 10 per cent is glycerin.

Besides, Jackson has become so quiet and orderly that the towri doesn't need a marshal any more." The peril of a return to normalcy is fully realized by 500 valets in New York who are out of employment through employers reducing expenses. Mime LiEire Years of the Old Tyopa mines. Murders and violence have marked many of these efforts, and still in many hardy breasts of this mining country to- aay there still stirs the spirit which has prompted many to brave the dan gers of starvation thirst pnd death at the hands of Indian bands and out laws in the search for gold. Records at Capital. Mexico City contains records of the old mine, and several prospectors, one of them Jack Dunn, accredited dis coverer of the Warren district, have reported seeing the ruins of the old mine, but none ever reached there. According to records at the Mexi can capital, in the latter part of the Seventeenth century the isolated vil lage of Old Tyopa was raided by In dians, who destroyed the town and killed all the' inhabitants except a priest. : After wandering for several weeks the priest arrived at a little town called AugaNFria, on the Faqul river, where he was received 'and cared for by a Mexican family. His hardships caused his death, but before he died he gave the family a description and map of the mining camp. He also reported that the gold obtained from eeveral years of mining had been stored in an old tunnel, because of the impossibility of shipment to - civiliza tion. The story and map, it is said, have been handed down from family to? family for generations. Those who attempted to reach the camp lost their outfits, and many did not return. The Indians for years menaced all pros pectors and this condition still ex ists, augmented by bands of outlaws. JVIax Covita, for several years Mexi can consul at Naco, is said to have been the latest possessor of the priest's map. Has Twice Seen Ruins. He declared he twice succeeded in getting as far as Casa Blanca, from which the ruins of Old, Tyopa are vis ible, and it was reported he had npt given up hopes of reaching the place at his death several- years ago. Bert Grovera local man, twttce started with two companions to make the perilous Journey, but was forced back .because of Insufficient equip ment, Indians and outlaws. Some remarkable gold specimens have been brought back from the vi cinity of the Old Tyopa, but so far as known no one ever reached the mines since the old town was de- stroyed centuries ago. j Cat Catches Two Trout. Hollis, N. H. It takes a cat to put to biush some of the fastidious Isaak Waltons. A feline belonging to A. B. Eaton recently brought in two live trout, each measuring six Inches. Where the cat got the trout Eaton does not know. She keeps her own secret. few, go Into the fertilizer part of the industry. The greatest interest in this new industry is being manifested in the manufacture of hides. Several Ampri- can companies have been formed, and much; research work is being done at present The shark hides run from an inch In thickness .to the consist ency of paper in the baby shark. In Seattle they are ; manufacturing hip boots ' from shark hides and they are declared to be completely waterproof. T Lightning' Deafens Horses.

I INTERMEDIATE: AND SENIOTOPIC --Jewish Boy Life. ... m YOUNG PEOPLE AND ABULTjTOPlC Saul's Early Training and Education.: We are now entering a six ionths study of the life and teachingsof one of the greatest men who ever ied. 1. Saul's Birth (Acts 21:iy).i4 V His parents belonged to the Sfibe ol Benjamin and" were "Hebrewsf of the Hebrews." that is, Jews who hp-e hot become contaminated in their ancestry through intermarriage with te Gen tiles (l'liil. 3:5). : ' -I 1. Time of. It is impossible ti deter mine the exact year of his bjLth, ut the probability is that it wast practi cally the same as that of Jesis; lie was a "young man" when Stepen: was stoned (Acts J :5J4). "l'oungan;Ui" inaj mean any age from twenty tj Ithirty. About 00 A. D. in the ilomaif prison he calls himself "Paul the age" (Phi lemon 9). This distinction wQuli hardly be appropriate for a man uhdr sixty. s 2. Place of (v. 3U). Tarsus.fthe cap-, ital of the Province of Gilicia, Repre sentative business men came hire from all parts of the world. It va a self governing city which made cijzenship therein honorable. Besides, Itfwas one of the three great educationa centers of the Roman empire. Godfs provi dence ordered that the apostS to the Gentiles should be born in a eiy where hewould encounter men of ev;ry class and nation, makinghim broijd in" hl svmbathy and tolerant in hisldealiugs with others. ' II. Saul's Home Training euu 0: 4-9 ; cf. II Tim. 3:14, 15). S He was brought up in a pifus home (Phil. 3:5). In the passaes cited above lsgiven the responsibility of a Jew In the training of his chldren. 1. Central truths to be taght (vv. 4, 5). (1) Unity of God. "he Lora our God Is one Lord." This f as a tes timony against the polytheisi existing among the Gentiles of that djy. He is God alone, , therefore to worship an other is stn. The word ,runslatea "God" is plural in form, giving room for;th doctrine of the Trinit father, Soaand Holy Spirit. The -eat' need of the world is a recognition, of the fundamental doctrine of thejbnity and trinity of the Godhead. The can be no established, order until Gti is given His rightful place; neither J-an Uiere be any moral health. ' V2) plan's su preme obligation (v. 5). . Gd should be loved with ail the heart soul and might, because He is God &lone and supreme. This being the fcrsland great commandment, we know wht is man's supreme duty. 2. How these truths are Jjo be kept alive (vv. 6-9). The placeMfor God's Word is in the heart. In oiiler that it raav be in the heart (1) "teSch it dili gently to thy children" ( v 7). : The most important part of a clipd's educa tion is that given by p'arejts in the Word of God. Talk of tiem in the home (v. 7). How blessed is that home where God's Word is ifie topic ot conversation. (3) Talk of-fhem when retiring for the night (v. 7) The last thing upon which The iniul;h)uld rest before going to sleep shoid be God and His truth. (5) Talk of hem when rising in the morning (v. 7)1 How fit ting that God should speak; to us the tirst thing when we awake (b) Kind them upon thine hand (v. 8)g .This was literally done by the Jews, ven to the wearing of little boxes betveeo their eyes. (7) Write them upo$ the posts of the houses and on the gtes (v. 9) Doubtless Timothy's borae training was similar to Saul's (11 Tiij. 3:14, 15) From a child Timothy wasltaught the Holv ScriDtures (II Tim. ft :5). This was done in the home by hil mother. III. Saul's Education (Affls22:3). 1. In college at Jerusalem A .Jewish child became a child of ,thlaw at the age of thirteen. Most likfely at Jhis age he went fo Jerusalem t enter upon his course of study. Hertf he sat at the feet of Gamaliel, one jff the riiost eminent teachers that ever blessed Is rael. The course of studi here was restricted to the Holy Scriptures. 2. A trade at Tarsus. Pl-haps after tinishine his college coursfi at Jerusa lem he returned to Tarsusfand learned a trade. One rabbi said, "HfJ that teach- ... V . , -M. . etn not ms son a traae aotfiu uie same as if he had taught him toff teal." The trade he learned was tent Slaking. This came in very good in his li ter life, en abling him to support hnself while preaching the gospel.

Good lace cannot go out of fashion. Women of judgment and whose judgment is important never fail to appreciate it. So styles come and go, all of them interpreted in laces that make dresses of the most enduring charm. An occasional season finds colored laces an item of impor tancethere is never one that finds white or black negligible. . In the beautiful afternoon gown pic tured an all-over white lace, run with black, makes a costnnie that will serve either for day or evening wear, and will find few rivals In appropriateness. By means of the proper, accessories It is fitted into either background and this is one of; the reasons for the un failing high esteem in which lace is held by women of good judgment Id the frock pictured the lace ts SOME HATS THOSE who express their thoughts in terms of millinery must be at their happiest when they create the lovely hats of midsummer. The gracious days and nights of summertime, prodigal of beauty, are written in these lacey and flowery garnlshlngs-they are truly the poetry of apparel, and the talent of the designer ; blossoms at Its best In them. While their season lasts, designers revel in them and the fashion reporter Would willingly cover pages with their pictures. But four of many ,gems, as shown in the picture above, are suffi cient to reveal the character of this millinery and the manner in which it has been expressed this season. The wide-brimmed, transparent hat at the top of the picture might be ap propriately called a midsummer night's dream;. It is ; made of black m alines. At each side there Is a cluster of 'white lilies the fragrant, old-fashioned lilies that bloom in gardens everywhere, re produced with beautiful fidelity, in a fabric , v ' " Just below Is one of hose fine leg horns that Is never out of style.

The bodice has elbow sleeves cut in kimo no style, with front panel of lace and a noteworthy collar of the. georgette, very full and soft and suggestive of a fichu. An unpretentious girdle ot ribbon has ribbon flowers set across the front and they are made to corre spond with the colors in the summery Dresden silk parasol. This parasol Is just the right accompaniment forthe wide-brimmed hat of white georgette, with a long spray of flowers trailing across its drooping brim. White silk h.ose and kid pumps round out a per fect afternoon toilette for smart occa sions. By means of a more elaborate sash or girdle, a different headdress, a suitably fan and perhaps even dressier slippers, one can imagine this frock making a triumph in the evening. . It Is of the sort that does not grow tlre some. . r- FOR SUMMER vet does not belong to summer, but ' the artist,- who created this bit of headwear, has been audacious enough to use it for a binding and a soft crown. One 'discovers the method. In this madness when the wreath of pond lilies is considered : against the deep background their waxen whltenesi stands out most vividly. A pale and misty blue in crepe de. chine makes the charming small hal at the right ; veiled with fine pretty white lace, run with black. This i a Charming hat for matrons who have progressed beyond t the wide-brimmed picturesque shapes just described. Th last hat pictured is made of black hair braid and has a drooping double brim bound ? with old blue silk.
