April 22 (UP)— The new gold strike at Weepah, Nev., will have little effect on either the world's or America's gold supply, in the opinion of Miss Mary M. O'Reilly, assistant director of the U. S. mint. "The gold production in the United States has been decreasing annually and the new strike would have to be a tremendous one to make any great change in the gold situation," Miss O'Reilly said today. Nevada, she pointed out produced gold valued at $3,505 000 in 1926; $3,876,000 in 1925 and bullion worth more than $22,000,000 in 1924. The decrease has been so great, that new production would therefore have to be very heavy to offset the decline in general.

' KENTUCKY DERBY I HOLDS INTEREST " i Record-Sized Field ExpectJ ed To Face Barrier in Annual Turf Classic By Henry L. Farrell, -> (U. P. Staff Correspondent) I New ork, April 22.— (U.P.) —A rec- •> ord-sized field is expected io face the q barrier in this year’s Kentucky derby, I, the fifty-third running of America's greatest race classic. With a purse of $50,000 added, it I was believed today that at least 22 I of the country's finest 2-year-old thoroughbreds will match strides over the mile and quarter at Churchill ’ Downs on May" 14. Three weeks before the derby was t to be run. the nomination field of 14S ■ candidates was gradually being de- ] fieased. with most interest being I centered upon W. M. Jefford's Scapa Flow and .1. E. Widener's Osmand. i The former not only has proved his worth as a great 2-year-old, having won $78,405 in purses (luring 1926. but can rightfully claim distinction in that the mighty Man O’ War was his sire. Although Osmand- as a 2-year-old. sained much less than Scapa Flow in purse money, he is nevertheless; stamped as a great thoroughbred and ! most experts predicted the winner will be one of the two. Many conceded victory to the Sage ' stable’s Rip Rap which is third choice in the betting odds of 10-1 offered igainst his chances. The Satrap, a foreign-bred colt, is coupled with Fair Star as the Fox "•atelier far mstable entry, but is’not expected to be a starter due to an injury sustained during a workout. o— _— Positions On Board Os Education Filled Indianapolis, April 22 —(UP) —Two positions on the state board of education were filled late yesterday by apnointments made by Gov.
