The rush started when a prosperI tor brought Lack a three ounce i piece of quartz from the Livingstone Valley, and on having it assayed found that it contained traces lof gold. The news leaked out and i intrnediately the exodus was on. Men with good jobs quit them and palled out for the goldbearing district. Men without jobs were inoculated with the hope brought on | by desperation and. notwithstanding the total lack of equipment, treked : into the frozen wilds on the mad scramble to get ..here first.

It is just a repetition of the dis-1 astrons KloniVke rush in which ithousands started out with hope and lust for gold and died by the score 'in the frozen wastes of Alaska. i Modern prospecting is a vastly different business than it was inthose days, instead of the dogteam the up-to-date gold seeker uses an airplane ai d covers more territory jin a few hours than he could do in months, if at all. with clogs. The picture above shows a Fairchild' prospecting plane, fitted with skis instead of customary landing gear to facilitate landing and taking off on snow or ice. Planes of this type .(are frequently used by the modern pi ospectors. Science, too. has taken •la lot of the romance out of gold--mining.

New York, Feb. 1 — Statisticians | whose job it is to keep track of such ] things, tell ns that the bhirhrate of the United States is rapidly tie dining, and that something should ' be done about it. Well, if it is a y news to the alarmists, something is being done. ; Modern Baton Rouge. La., boasts a Baby-of the Month Club. The first child born in that progressive community ('very month receives gift ■ 1 from the merchants ranging from] thermometers for the baby’s bath ] to flowers for the mother. But if some of our patriotic mil- i lionaires would follow L'te example I of Charles Vance MiTlar, King's] Counsel, of Toronto, Canada, there ' never would be cause for a wail a-i bout declining birth rate. Mr. Millar, who died Oct., 1927,] had the reputation of being an incorrigible practical joker. People who knew him are very fond of relating] his many and various escapades, but ' the greatest joke he ever played was the will he left when he died, I and which, despite its eccentric pro- ] i visions, is declared as sound as a : dollar. As we are only concerned with birth rate we will confine ourselves to the cause of this will dealing with i that subject. In short, it states that. $5011,000 shall be set aside and in I ten years after the death of testator] I awarded to the woman who has Ii

Helping them to help themselves is one of the major efforts of the Red Cross. As a pprt of this plan, distribution of two million packets of garden seed given by the Red Cross is getting under way in Arkansas, Louisiana. Mississippi and Alabama and will follow later in other drought areas. Garden plots will be planted up to one-quarter acre in size, and will do jnuch to thwart malnutrition and prevent disease. Many am the stories of distress due to the drought stricken crops, which have robbed the larder of its normal winter food supply, and the barn of its feed for stock, which have reached the Red Cross. As a result, the Society has started to feed the children in hundreds of rural schools. A hot, thick beef stew, with vegetables, buttered bread and misk constitute this noonday meal to prevent malnutrition.

Os course this was regarded as just another of Mr. Millar’s joke", but such a sum of money is worth 'competing for, joke or no joke, anti the race is on in Toronto. The lead-i er in the novel competition so far is Mrs. Florence Brown, a slender, blonde housewife of 42. who has been married 22 years and given. ] birth to 26 children, six of, which I were born within the period stipe.I fated by the Millar will. Mrs. Brown .takes pi ide in the fact that a’.l her ] babies were single births. Mrs. I Brown proposes to buy a farm if the ] prize should come her way, as she I : is of the opinion that the country ] is the only place in which to rear i. j j family. The lady who occupies second ] ] place in this strange competition’ ]is Mrs. Grace Bagnato, of Toronto) 'born Canadihn-Italian. She was] | married at thirteen and has borne i twenty babies, eleven o whom are | still alive. She is 37 and a grand-1 mother. To return to our own U. S. Were such a prize offered here the he stork would be compelled t< take on more help.

Thousands of families receive their food orders each week from tho Red Cross. Their wants are passed upon by committees of men and women in their own communi, ■ ties, who issue to them orders upon the stores they normally patronize In addition, more than 130 carloads of fresh fruits, vegetables and other edibles have been donated to the Red Cross by individuals all over the country, and these have ‘ been distributed in the drought areas, along with hundreds of bales of clothing. « T The States where the Red Cross is giving aid are Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania.

that the wife who sees nothing but poverty in large families is missing >ho real joy of motherhood and s-<y-that it is her intention to have as many as she can. Another proud mother of twenty children is Mrs. Lewis C.oss, of Fitchburg, who is oily 36 and points with pride to the sac t that all her etiduren were born singly. In sharp contrast to the foregoing cases is that of Mrs. EthelCromwell of Bridgeport, Conn..-who, had her husband arrested becaustk ihe wanted more babies. Mrs. Crowwell gave birth to thirteen children in ten years, but only four lived. A recent judgment by the 'Supreme C. art is of interest here inasmuch as it sustained the right 'of Mrs. Marion Qahn, of Brooklyn ] N.
