6/Arthur Brisbane A DANGEROUS EMBARGO FOUR THINGS YOU NEED A BIG COPPER MINE REAL DIVINING ROD Los Angeles—A gasoline price wai holds public interest for the momenl here. Standard Oil of California’s cul of 2 cents, made to meet erratic price cutting, will be followed by deeper cuts by other companies. The oil situation is bad, and an elimination process will gradually weed out weaker sisters. Then consumers that have been buying gas too cheap will even up matters by paying too much. The antiquated Sherman act preventing common sense business arrangements makes conditions worse. Some American companies demand an embargo on oil from foreign countries. Powerful companies that own inexhaustible subterranean "lakes of oil” in Venezuela and elsewhere oppose the embargo. They want to bring in their cheap foreign oil. They are protecting this country’s interests, perhaps without knowing Or caring. An embargo would hasten the exhaustion of American wells, putting consumers and the. mother industry aft the mercy of foreign well owners. What that would mean the country learned when Britain controlled rubber and regulated the price. If you have four things, intelli-j genre, energy, money and interest in: the welfare, of others, you can do ’good work.’ Mrs. Greenway nf Tuscon, four. She started a furniture factory, for ex-service men not sick enough for a hospital but needing recuperation in a perfect climate. That did much good. Then she built and is running a Tuscon hotel, up of separate bungalows, all furniture made by the service men, and all fo| sale to guests. Just at present the place is packed, but try to go there anyhow, if you go to Tuscofi. If .yoiji do nut gjo you make a big psistake. Such a woman as Mrs. Greenway, finding away tn help men injured ip then country’s service, working har<|. vMh no profit, and little thanks foil herself, should be at least praise*}. Mr. "Pepper," Tuscon'* king <ff al! .newsboys, assures y< u that Mr*. Greenway is “an incomparable lady” putting the accent on "incomparabU!” on the antepenultimate syllable, "par.” “She gave me.” says he. two tickets for the opera that cost at least $5 apiece. It was called The Walker,’ and say, you never heard, that kirid of music in your life-’’ { This indorsement of his Walkeure would gratify Wagner. If you own copper stocks, you are engaged by proxy in an interesting changing business and might learn about it by visiting the Cananea Copper mine,- a little south of the Mexican border, near Douglas, Ariz. That mine had stock selling at $8 a share. Copper running as high as 40 per cent was found and the stock jumped to S2OO a share. Now the Anaconda Copper company owns it. Cananea in normal times pays the Southern Paacific |railroad a freight bill of $1,000,000 a year. Mr. Weed, manager of the mine, a blue-eyed young American from the Michigan School of Mines, with his forehead leaning out above his eyes, learned the real business working in a mine after graduating. He continues learning the business by running one! of the greatest mines on earth. Aimless speculation and fruitless effort often lead to scientific- accpmplishment. Chemistry is the successor to ancient alchemy, seeking to chahge inferior metals to gold. And now the old divining rod, with credulity aS its only asset may be replaced by a “tfod” that really locates what you seek A needle, called the Hotchkill super dip, described before the Americar Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, takes advantage of th« fact that certain deposits disturb th* earth’s normal magnetic lines. In th* hands of a prospector, knowing geo logy, that new divining rod is expect ed to reveal deposits of gold anc other precious substances.

, WASHINGTON’S DEATH NOT FRONT PAGE NEWS FOR NEWSPAPER THEN

Last Thursday Mrs. Stephen Free- > man permitted the Syracuse Journa I staff to inspect an old paper, publish ed under the date line of Jan. 4, 1800, * telling of the death of George Wash ington. It was an interesting coin cidence, because the article in th« February issue of “The Americar j Press,” describing that edition of th* Ulster County Gazette, published ii Kingston, N. Y., was being read witl interest in the Journal office tha’ very day. The article ih the “American Press’ f I was written by Frank Parker Stock bridge, and it goes into detail on th* ! printing of the paper, four column: ’ i wide and 17 inches long, so full o 1 ; other matter that an item like th< death of the Father of His Country Was carried at the foot of colu- t u one, page three, instead of appe . under a streamer headline on th* front page. Mr. Stockbridge writes that: “In i * trunk in the attic of a house at Sus ‘ j fern. Orange County, N. ¥.. last De * cember, were found three copies o e l the Ulster County Gazette. One wa ’ i the issue of Dec. 28, 1799: another th> issue of Jan. 11, 1800; the other copj e the issue of Jan. 4, 1800 turned ou *j to be the only genuine copy know i 1 : to exist of the most famous single is ■jsue of a country weekly newspape Lever printed in- the United State: 1 The precious treasure-trove has bee; '• I bought by the Library of Congress. ; "Hundreds of thousands of paper f! purporting to be the genuine Ulste County Gazette of Jan. 4. 1800, are ii • I the possession of people all over th--1 j country, who cherish them as valu < able antiques. But every single one b. r : those is a fake, most of them not evei I a close imitation of the genuine -■original issue of this newspaper con I retaining the account of George Wash j | ington’s death and funeral. Most oj ! them are frankly sold as facsimile/ s but many of their present owners / not know that they are not genuine ' More than 50 different reproduction, have been collected by the New Yorl 7 Public Library and the Library o 0 Congress.” Oj Mrs. Freeman said, when told o 0 j the article, that she discovered he 4 paper among some old papers of he 0 father’s, just recently, and that h< 1 has been dead for more than 213 years (She has no idea which edition it wa: 2 of the many mentioned, but com 5 ' ’ MORE THAN HALF » GAMES ARE LOST 6 9 Syracuse closed its regular basket- ~ ball season, Friday.

parison of her paper with the one jictured in the article shows that a Hfferent kind of type was used in her edition than in the original in the Library Os Congress. But her paper.-*whether printed 25 years after Washington’s death, as some were, according to Mr. Stockmidge. or whether printed more reently than that, is a valuable possession, for it shows the sort of 'eatured at that time, and contains ;ome interesting ads.
