FIND HUGE CAVE INGRANDCANYON Workmen Travel Several Miles in Vast Under • ground Chamber. Cedsr City, L'tnti.—In addition to flM world'* mightiest canyon. Grand Canyon National park now offer* the possibility of containing If* largest cave. The announcement was mode fol lowing di voovery of a cavern of vast proportions by workmen em ployed on Grand Canyon lodge, Which open* this summer. The cava I* located in Roaring Spring canyon on the north rim, and three men have penetrated it for two mile*, to find further progress •topped by lack of a boat. Like many other springs In the cliff regions of Arizona and south ern Utah. Roaring springs emerges from opening* In the faces of cliffs, and the water cascades down In falls. Four Hour* In Cava. Unlike others of them, however, one of the apertures from which Roaring springs issues is large enongh to admit a tnan. Bill Den een of South Dakota went In and found an absolutely unsuspected rtvern of consHderable extent. Den Edn had only n pocket flashlight, and the battery became exhausted before he could go very far, so he came out and told Mack Johnson of Soquerville, Utah, and Paul Swain of Salt Lake City what lie had seen. The three secured gaso line^ lanterns nnd, carrying extra bottles of gasoline along for fuel, they did a thorough Job of explor ing the .lace and have Just an nounced their discovery. “We spent fotv hours in the cave, and went back abntit two miles,” relates Jackson. “There is a regu lar labyrinth of tunnels in there, and we didn't try to explore all of them. W* followed back from the entrance for about half a mile un it! we came to a smaller tunnel branching off to the left. It went along for about 200 feet and joined three more. "At the place where these four tunnels came together there's a b t; river coming down one o£ them an ] dividing among the other three. These divide again and again, so that all the vaterfalls you see in the canyon that we call Roaring springs ore just the ends of small er tunnels. The one big creek sup plies them all. ‘•We went up this creek as far as we could. One place we walked along with one foot on a ledge on each side of the stream, which nar rowed down to about two feet, was more than twenty feet deep. “Finally we came to a big room floored entirely by the river, and We couldn’t go any further without a beat. As far ns we could see, the cave and (he river got big ger and bigger. The river is too deep to wade, and too cold to swim, of we would have gone farther. $ **The inside of the cave is very beautiful, it Is full of stalactites and stalagmites, and there are places where it is frescoed with beautiful formations of crystallized 1 infield one." Whether or not ilie cave will be explored further is problematical at this time. Two difficulties stand in the way of such an undertak ing. Since Roaring springs Is the source of the water supply for Grand Canyo.i lodge, the national park service may forbid further exploration to avoid contamination of the water supply. Getting a boat into the cave would he a tremendous task, say the three who have been there. The boat would have to be shipped by truck from this town, which is 170 miles away. One Big Creek.

Sherman Adams, security dealer, realized a profit of more than $116,000 within a year. A shrewd student of security val ues Mr. Adams realized that the company had had scarcely a profit aide year since its organization in 3017, hut apparently he also knew that It controls a patent covering every type of nutomobile wheel de mountable and changeable at the buh. Less than a year aft§r .'r. Adams made his purchase the Federal Ap pellate court upheld the Cowles patent in broad terms. Mr. Adams’ Stock rose to $1.50 a share and was then split up. ten shares for one. The sales of the company more than doubled find excited bidding drove pries to near its present market value of $550 n share. I.ate in JjPfid quotations ranged from 42 cents to $5 a share.

CALIFORNIA MAY PLACE BOUNTY ON BANK ROBBERS Official Warns Bandits They May Be Put in Same Category as Wild Animals. Sacramento. Calif.—A new epoch of vigilante justice, with sudden | death riding the trail of the plunderer—an epoch in which bank bandits will be worth more dead than alive—is impending in Cali fornia. Bank banditry must halt, Will C. Wood, state banking superintend ent, declared in an ultimatum to the underworld fraternity. If the holdup men fail to heed I the warning, Wood asserted, they I may soon find themselves in the same category with predatory ani mals—worth a liberal state bounty dead and nothing alive, i Singling out the Texas system of paying $.>,000 for dead bank rob bers, the state official warned t California desperadoes are inviting similar action uuless the epidemic of bank holdups is brought to an end. Wood's statement follows a suc cession of bank holdups in Court land, Elk Grove, Woodland, Espar t to, Oakland, I-os Angeles and other California cities during recent weeks. j ‘'Bank robberies are becoming so frequent that drastic action is in order to protect the banks,” af firmed Superintendent Wood. “The robbers are getting bolder la their holdups every day. “A reversion to the swift Justice of early California days, when bank robbers were seldom taken alive, is being encouraged by these des peradoes. “Down in Texas I understand that the bankers’ association offers a liberal reward for bank robbers, with the proviso that nothing will be paid for live ones. “I hope conditions will not be come so bud in California as to necessitate ns following the Texas example,” Crime is costing America the stupendous sum of $10,000,000,000 annually, according to data com piled by state investigators, with bank holdups showing one of the biggest increases. “It Is our task to teach the bandit, in the words of .Tack Black, that yo can't win in the business of crime.” concluded Wood, “and it looks like these outlaws may re quire a drastic lesson.” Big Texas Ranch Will Cater to City “Cowboys” Alpine, Texas.—One of the most famous old ranches of Texas, lo cated uear this little city in the T>a\is mountains, has been pur chased by local business men to be operate*’ as a “dude ranch’’ for tourists. Tourists from many parts of the world are expected to visit the ranch this summer and mimic the life of the pioneer cowboys of the southwestern plains, according to Pete Crawford, veteran cowboy and federal border officer, who lias been made manager of the ranch. Crawford lias brought a string of cattle ponies to tlie ranch. The ranch, Valle la Ciebega. covers 35,-. 000 acres The ranch hon«e equip ment is the same as has been used ; for tlie last 50 years. Crawford lias employed several : experienced guides to lead visitors I next fall on deer, bear, mountain J ! lion, and turkey hunts. J “It seems like most grownups • have an inward desire of getting! out on n tiig ranch and playing I cowboy for a while.” said Craw-1 ford, in explaining his tolera"*. at titude toward “city dud“~" who visit tlte ranch lie admitted, however, (hat most of the veterans j have little to da witti the “City cowboys.” Chair of Cheops* Mother Restored for Museum Cairo, Kgypt.—Queen Hetepheres’ j I carrying chair lias been restored | ! after two years’ careful work and i delivered to the Cairo museum.

When discovered the wood of the chair was •entirely decayed or j shrunk to one-sixth of its original ! volume, but the joints of tenons I and mortises were in perfect pres ervation.
