.Impossible to trap or -shoot and out

! While the prospector's aid has speed
ied up and taken to a wild life, the
jfprospector has' settled down. ' There
are jperhaps as many prospectors as
e?eV,but they operate differently.
, no longer anving nurros across the
hills In search of gold, most of them
-confine their activities to a single com
inaoltyor to only a . few communities,
-"!la -move "at "rare intervals. Often-
(times they will work years In devel-
itfpment of a single prospect
i . The result .'Is that when they i do
move, they ,do so by train or auto.:
Economic, factors have contributed
to the passing of, the old method; of
prospecting. 'It no longer pays. The
most easily discpvertble deposits of
rich ore' havlBgv beeri talren, it usually
requires more dlglpg and development
"ifoij a claim to have . demoatrable value.
The digging . or. development cannot
te done In a short time, and ao the
prospector chooses a locality which
shows favorable indications and set
tles down to go to work.
Now Making Good.
With the Increased price of gold and
silver, as well as copper, many who
ave patiently worked without return
Tor years are now beginning to realize
'on their labor. But for the majority
there is still no rainbow at the end of
the tralL
This Is partly due to several rea
sons. Popular Impression which as
signed geological or mlneraloglcal In
eight to the-prospector was mostly
wrong and so were the prospectors.
Many 'of them. In addition to being
without mlneraloglcal knowledge, were
without capital.
To correct the former failing, the
University of Arizona School of Mines,
co-operating with the federal govern
ment, has offered prospecting courses
In principal districts throughout the
state and has trained thousands la
detection and location of minerals.
The prospector who depends upon
school training Is a far throw from
his predecessor, the "burro pusher,",
tiowever.
Motherhood Right Won
by California Teachert
: San Francisco. School 'boards: In
California may regulate the length of
.a teacher's skirt or tell her how to
dress her hair, but they are "abusing
'their dlscertion" If they tell her as a
married woman that she must not have
a baby.
Such, In effect 1 the ruling of XI. B.
Webb, state attorney general, whoa
opinion was asked when. Holllster high
school trustees dismissed a teacher
when she became a mother.. -v
- "Since the legislature has approved
the employment of married teachers,1
Webb said, "It must be deemed to have
approved the natural consequences of
' marriage.'
- -The teacher, not named in the opln-.
Ion,: had taught In the Holllster high
.school for several years She signed
her contract for the 1035-36 term and
then requested a leave of absence, ex
plaining she was ant expectant mother.

of precious metals, soon will be used j
imore extensively for the manufacture' I

ognized as 'official paddle maker of the
University of Missouri. He has been
al It 82 years aloot with desultory
work' at piano tinkering." - ,
L In, 1828 Allen Advertised: - ,
"Allen's paddles have made lasting
impressions on Mlzou freshmen for
we last zo years."- J ' ' '
During that time Allen estimated he
has made thousands of paddles, -l

kind of wood that," grows,?; he ' say
"Rosewood was the favorite In pros-
peroos times; Some fraternities fa

clares. 7 - Some' "years students want
heavy: two-banded ones. -- Other yean
they require shorter, 'lighter blade

man. .Ih engineers send the paddTe
maker specifications drawn like archi
tect's plans for a building, 4 -
"Engineers paddles must weigh Just
so much and must be Just exactly ao
many sixty-fourths of an Inch thick."
Agriculture students want them
tough and strong. !
One of Allen's masterpieces was an
explosive paddle which concealed a
percussion cap. . When the wood was :
brought In forcible contact with luck
less freshmen the resulting blast was
very amusing. c.
He now Is attempting to devise a
set of paddles which Will emit pleas-;

Beetle Hordes Spread
Ravages in Five States
Philadelphia. The annual Invading
hordes of Japanese beetles have .re
tired after their nineteenth season,
leaving a path of destruction through
plant and tree life In five eastern
states. - -
While the beetle retires, leaving nib
bled roses, threadbare hollyhocks, and
trees shorn of their foliage and fruit,
bis enemy the entomologist Is work
ing for his destruction - in research
laboratories throughout the Infested
area...
This year, the Insects spread over
a larger area than In 1934, according
to Dr. L M. Hawley, senior entomolo
gist In charge of the biological depart
ment of the Japanese beetle research
laboratories at Moorestown, N. J.
Northern New Jersey, northeastern
Maryland, northern Delaware, and therj
southern tip of New York were -the
scenes of new Invasions as the hordes
spread westward to Pennsylvania as
far as Lancaster. ;
Each year, they usually travel from
five to ten miles further than the pre
ceding year, but their 1935 advance
exceeded, the ten-mile limit)
'Although he could not give a com
plete explanation tor this new advance,
.Doctor' Hawley said that there had
been Isolated colonies of the. beetles
In many areas and these probably had
spread out to meet their kind In the

Silent System Favored E
I by Wisconsin Convicts
Waupun, Wis. Convicts "favor" the
so-called silent system practiced at the
Wisconsin State penitentiary, Warden
Oscar: Lee says. He credits the no
talking rule for the absence of fights.
"Men who have served terms in pris
ons where discipline Is lax frequently
tell me they are glad we do' not per
mit conversation at Waupun,. Lee told
visitors who expressed surprise when"
they heard no talking as they toured
the Institution.' v
"Most of the trouble among convicts

the presence of a guard unless they are
pupils or teachers In the schools con
ducted for- Illiterates or are giving or
