At the polls and at her gold mines western Australias activities have drawn the spotlight of news. With the definiteness of a two to one referendum she has recently proclaimed her secession from the commonwealth, suggesting the first break in the confederation of the six Australian states that has existed for 32 years. Although authorities maintain that the action can have little effect, because there is no governmental machinery allowing any state to withdraw, yet western Australias protest has been made. An outburst of gold fever, too, inspired by the present high prices of that metal, has awakened new activity at her one-tim- e boom mines. Western Australia, comprising apof the whole proximately island continent, has made rapid strides In Its century of development," says a bulletin from the National Geographic society. Especially during the last half century, it has seen sig nificant progress, yet vast areas in Its 975,920 square miles are desert and waste land, one-thir- d Had BodTfinanJhfornia. Gold mining gave the land its first boom. Kalgoor)ie, Coolgardie, Kimberley, and other gold fields poured millions Into the worlds coffers. In 1903, when it reached its highest point, western Australia produced $43,000,000 worth of the precious metal. In 37 years of its greatest activity. Its mines enriched the worlds gold sup- ply by $775,000,000. ly more than four and three-quarte- r million acres of land now under cultivation, nearly four illion acres are devoted to the growing of wheat, with a recent yield of more than 53,500,000 bushels. On more barren areas graze more than 9,800,000 head of sheep and 800,-00cattle. The wool clip furnishes the largest export next to gold and wheat. The cities along the west coast are not large. Perth, the capital, has only a little more than 200,000 popula-- ' tion. Many of the others live only by virtue of their position as exporting centers for the cattle and sheep country. Broome, along the northern part of the coast, is one of the most interesting because of the fact that it is one of the few Asiatic towns In the 98 per cent British-borpopulation of Australia. There live many Japanese, Chinese, Malays, Filipinos, and Koepangers from Timor, who are engaged in the pearl and pearl shell 0 n industry. Western Australia may well feel a certain independence from the rest of Australia because she is more or less Isolated by a great desert region 500 miles wide and 1,000 miles long.

Here is the method they suggest : Wash stockings after each wearing, with mild soap, preferably in flake form. Turn the stockings wrong side out. This prevents stockings. Make rich suds by dissolving a few mild soap flakes in lukewarm water. Always have suds lukewarm or cool. Put in the stockings and wash by squeezing the suds through and through the material, especially in soiled spots. Never rub stockings, as with bar soap, this tends to fade colors and destroys the life and springiness of the silk. 200 Rooms 200 Tile Baths Thoroughly rinse stockings in Radio connection in every room. lukewarm or cool water.

Kalgoorlie, with its famous Golden Mile and other nearby mines, mushroomed almost over night into a roaring camp, and became much like San Francisco in 51 or Dawson in 99. Former President Hoover, as a young mining engineer, once worked in this rich mining district, and successfully put many sick mines Into profitable operation. As gold production waned, western Australia, once known as the land of sin, sun, and sand, became a new land of promise through its wheat fields, forests, and cattle and sheep grazing areas. Today, however, Kalgoorlie is again taking on many of the aspects of a mining camp, and many of the swaggies or sundowners are again plodding the regions to set out new claims. A chemical syndicate is also reworking to a profit old tailings and however, poorer dirts. that western Australia will ever again produce the quantities of gold that it once did, yet some of the old prospectors are always hoping that they will one day strike it rich.

Flyer Reports on Ruins Under Dead Sea Surface An R. a. F. officer stationed at Abukir reports that while flying over the bay he saw ruins below the water, says the San Francisco Chronicle. Fisherman confirmed the existence of two groups of ruins each comprising several columns. Prince Omar Toussoun undertook investigations with the help of a diver. Several columns were identified standing on the bottom in three fatb oms of water and apparently of red granite. Theiver brought up several fragments of stone, one of which proved to be a finely chiseled head of Alexander the Great. . An R. A.
