The value of old gold lying idle in American homes is believed to surpass the output of all the gold mines In the world for an entire year. A drive to recover old gold, carried on in Britain some time ago, brought to light over half a billion dollars worth of the precious metal. America is believed to have an even greater store. , Explorer Tells of Exciting Experiences at Sea. by week3 of stormy seas, and dependent wholly on a tiny lifeboat that 1 bought at a sale from the United States coast guard and shipped here, Seals, playing on the I cant help thinking especially when Washington. rocks, threw back their heads and gar- it storms about how far it Is back gled sea water with a noise like calves to Portland, Ore.

One year had 300 stormy days. On Navarin island we found a man named Ken Williams, an otter hunter, and took bim aboard; that made three, in our power boat, bound for the islands of the horn. Crossing the open sea from Nassau bay to Cape hall, on Grevy island, the full fury of the gales hit us. I feared being blown out to sea, for our propeller was fouled with kelp. So much salt water blew through the air that bareheaded Ken Williams hair looked as if it had been lathered. Even when the storms were at their worst, and it seemed we must surely swamp, Ken Williams would suddenly stand up and point to some rocky nook, and shout above the winds roar, I shot an otter over there once! His father was a pioneer missionary among the Yaghan Indians, and Williams himself, besides being a hunter, owns sheep that range some of these islands. He is therefore the most southerly sheep-herdin the western hemisphere.

Glad we were, and weary, back once more in the town of Magallanes, which used to be called Punta Arenas. To you, its just a name; a name for a sheep town stuck somewhere below Patagonia, on the Straits of Tierra del Fuego. To us, after cold, wet, dangerous weeks on end, it was civilization again. What if its people are mostly Slavs, Austrians and Italians, who speak tongues that are strange to us, and who paint the roofs in bright colors, and build tight board fences around their gardens so the gales will not blow all the dirt away I Or what if the gaies from Patagonia do bring clouds of dust, filled with grass seeds from distant pampas, and then tear across the straits, lifting sheets of water into the air and threshing them about, till all the sea has the aspect of smoking prairie grass? Its still Magallanes, a city, a place of streets, stores, mail from home, dry clothes, and a wireless station. far-awa- y Prayer Indicative of the childs horizon is the story about Steve and the Lords Prayer.

On these grounds building lots in residential quarters will be sold at low Greco-Turkis- h Ismir, Smyrna. Smyrna, Turkeys eye on the Mediterranean, is to be restored to its previous beauty. The city, as port and trading place of Turkey, second only in importance to Istanbul, was almost completely wrecked by the great fire of 1922, when Mustafa Kemals troops ejected the Greeks, and it is still partly in ruins now. Under the leadership of Dr. Behtchet Sabit Bey, reconstruction of the city which, incidentally, has the best claim of being Homers birthplace, will be undertaken. The city holds vast areas of which it took control after the expulsion of Greeks and Armenians, who had formed about half of the citys total MISS FRANCE, 1934 installment payments and, under certain conditions, even given free of charge. In the workmens districts about nine square feet will sell at 20 cents per foot and the city will furnish the building material gratis provided its model plan is adopted. Two new main avenues will divide the city into four sections. One will lead straight up from the port to the famous ancient fortress on Mount Pagus and thus open up a magnificent view. Under this plan 500 homes far have been constructed, of which each has a bathroom and is surrounded by a small garden. To defray first costs a lottery, expected to yield 400,000 Turkish pounds, is being organized by Ismirs magisso trate. Cliff Ruins 800 Years NO CHANGE Old Found in Arizona Kayenta, Ariz. The discovery of cliff ruins dating back to 1150 and 1250 A. D. was reported from the Rainbow Valley expedition. Prof. Gerald E. Marsh, of the University of California, made the find. Located on Skeleton Mesa, in a cave 8,000 feet high, the ruins included four rooms. Pottery found in the dwelling enabled Marsh to date the probable time of its occupancy. The mummified bodies of two adults and two dogs were found In the cave. Bridge-Monume- nt Do you get a vacation this year? Yes." What do you intend to do with it? Turn it over to my wife, as usual.

Remains of a 50,000,000-year-ol- d giant shark, from North Carolina, on view at the American Museum of Natural History, present weighty and conclusive evidence that sea monsters were In existence prior to mans appearance on this earth. Before even the Neolithic man started flaking flint implements, these piscatorial giants were roving the seas. This particular shark, which is esti mated as having been 40 feet in length, has teeth averaging five inches in height and completely dwarfs any of the modern shark family. According to Francesca R. La Monte, associate curator at the museum, the 40 foot approximation is conservative. It would be no exaggeration, she explains, to say that this prehistoric shark was, in life, 60 feet long. Referring to the current sea serpent monomania, Miss La Monte points out that fish do not move in the horizontal caterpillar undulations, as inaccurately described by those people who claim to have seen recent sea serIllustrapents. Fish move laterally, tive of this is the sideway darting of goldfish.

(Open Day and Night) M. H. THOMPSON, Manager Clever Coyotes Finally Killed by U. S. Hunters La Jara, Colo. The depredations among live stock of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, bloodthirsty coyotes of the San Luis valley, have been brought to an end by hunters and trappers of the predatory animal division of the United States biological survey. Hunters said the coyotes possessed uncanny cleverness in evading capture. They gained their names, the federal hunters said, from the fact that the male coyote was not as dangerous as his mate and was goaded by her to most of his killings. Macbeth was caught in a trap. Lady Macbeth brooded over the capture of her mate so that she was an easy target for a hunters gun. Jersey Township Passes Law to Scare Nudists J.
