Gold Mines, Jackson, Calif., Sept. 9—The 47 men entombed in the depths of the Argonaut mine are still alive, Dr. Duschak, consulting chemist engine- er of the Industrial Accident Com- mission, announced early. today. He based his announcement’ on chemical tests made from putrefac- tio_on the 2,400 foot level in the Muldoon shaft and below the 2500 foot level in the Argonaut shaft- “He found no signs of putrefaction and declared that if any of the men were. dead, the test could not fail to show it. Jackson was wild with excitement when the announcement was made. Wives and children of the men entombed nearly two weeks rushed to the shaft’s mouth and hysterically ‘urged on the rescuers. Mine officials offered a reward of $5,000 to the resmue party which is the first to break through the Ken- nedy mine to the Argonaut work- ings. ’ PURITY HEAD FEDERATION DEPLORES “COOTIE GARAGES"” (By United Press) Valley City, N: D., Sept- 8— “Ears were made to hear with. Dont cover them up with silly looking locks of hair.” This was part of the advice hand- ed out to flappers by Mrs. Jennie Sharples, national field secretary of the ‘World’s ‘Purity Federation, in a léctare here. She advised girls to beware of the %dar ~e, automobile, and cigarette” Clean thought rather than ° rouge, give good complexions,” Mrs. Sharp- les advised. LUMBER MARKET REPORT DEN(}TES CAR SH()RTAGE ank of Can Is Acute in South; Market Itself Is Strong Especially Lack of cars in which to transport material for which purchasers are clamoring is the outstanding feature says the review. The car shortage is especial- Definitely Advises Holding of :: Liberty Bonds;: Higher Prices Ultimately GIVES SOUND ADVICE ‘TO SMALL INVESTORS Declares Present Is a Good Time for Making Long- Term Investments Wellesley Hills, Mass., Sept. 9— A great many of our readers have Liberty bonds and wonder if it is not time to sell themi. When they went down into the 80’s people were frightened apd threw them over. Now that they have come up to par and better, the same people are buy- ing more. This is a queer little world- In view of the situation Roger W. Babson issues t}le following state- ment: “It is true that the time to buy bonds is when no one else wants them and the time to sell is when every one wants them. Hence, I strongly recommended the purchase of Lib- erties two years ago when they were selling in the 80’s. I am not quite convinced however, that the time has yet come for selling them, even tho they are acting rather queerly at the moment. “People are worrying as to what effect the railroad and coal strikes and other “industrial ~ disturbances will have on the price ~ of Liberty bonds, ‘America’s greatest and most popular investment. It would be only natural that these disturbances| should “depress the price of Liber- ties a little; but such effect would be only temporary. Money is des* tined to be even cheaper than it is today, and interest rates will con- tinue fairly low for some time to come. This means that banks will again come into the market to buy Liberty bonds. These purchases by the banks, together with the pur- chasees of the government must keep the price up and quite likely force still highet prices.” Therefore, I definitely advise readers to hold their liberty bonds believing that they will ultimately sell for higher prices- Be prepared however, for a possible temporary decline in order not to be panic stricken if such a temporary decline takes place. “The Fourth 4%’s are today sell- ing at a little over par and are call- able at par in 1933. Readers can be pretty certain that the bonds will be called at that time. This means that on the 15th of October in the year 1933. these bonds will sell at par- Not one cent above or one cent below. With a constant interest rate between mow and then the bonds should be at their highest about 1927 or halfway between now and their callable date. The same rule applies ly acute in the South, wher some mills have been making 60 or 70 per cent of " their shipments in open top cars' all ‘of which are now diverted to the coal trade through priority or- ders of the Interstate ~ Commerce Commission. Because of broken stocks and un- certainty as to transportation facil- ities, many mills in the South are calling in their traveling salesmen and declining much of the business cffered. There is a good demand both for building lumber and for special cutting, the railroads being large buyers of ties, timbers and car material, so the market is de- cidedly strong, In fact, buyers are offering premium prices on which prompt delivery can be assured. On the west Coast the demand for fir lumber is strong, with prices advanc- ing. There is in that territory, too, an acute car shortage that is badly |, handicapping the lumber movement. The Great Northern Railroad is haul- ing from that territory four freight traing while a short time ago it was hauling only one. On thé other hand lumber manufacturers say they are receiving only -one car where they should have five: “Heavy rains in Washington have ended_ the forest ‘fire danger for 1922, and logging camps again are in operation, enabling the mills to get into full production. The output of mills reporting to the West Coast Lumbermen’s Asociation last week was 5 per cent above normal. Stocks on hand are below normal however and supplies available for prompt shipment are low. The hardwood market has shown little change this week. There is a continued good de- mand for the better grades and an improvement in the call for lower grades. Altogether, the lumber mark- et is strong with an upward tend- ency, and deliveries are uncertain heuun dt car flwrtnxu, i ————— 1 of the lumber market, s -American Lumberman in its weekly | to all of ‘the different issues with their various maturitiess Of course (Continued on Page 6) Dlaolutlon ‘ =5 O CHICHES JURED; CAR GOES INTO DlTCB Wm: Chlchéster of this -city was injured in an autd accident Wed- nesday evening while he was en route to Deer River.

Wonderful support is given to local and county contests in Minne- sota. T. A. Erickson, state club lead- er, estimates that the average ap- propriation of the 80 county fairs in ‘the state is $350, .or a total of $28,000. This is almost double the sum provided in New York and is $8,000 more than the combined ap- propriations of the gx’eat state of Texas MINNEAPOLIS 'l'0 HAVE NEW MUSIC BUILDING Plans for the new $500,000 build- ing of the MacPhail School of Music Minneapolis, have been completed. Erection will begin at an early date and the building will be ready for occupancy within four or five months,, This ‘building which will be lo- cated at the corner of La Salle ave- nue and Twelfth street, will be one of the largest and most beautiful music school buildings in the Uni- ted States. It will be four stories in height and will occupy 160 feet on La Salle avenue and 50 feet” on Twelfth street. The entire building will be oc- cupied by the MacPhail School with the exception of a portion of the ground floor which will be devoted to small exclusive shops. A great number of individual studios are in- cluded in the plans. These will be made perfectly sound-proof by the| use of cork floors and heavy insula- tion between the walls. Five of the| studios will be equipped with large pipe organs and the others with grand pianos. One large room will be devoted exclusively to the teach- ing of aesthetic dancing. 0 THE MOVIES Human Voice Can Now Be Recorded Perfectly on a Movie Film REAL TALKING MOVIE HAS BEEN ACHIEVED Lee de Forest, American, Is Inventor; Practical Work to Be Started Soon By Carl D. Groat (United Press Staft Correspondent) Berlin, Sept. 9 (United Press)— The human voice can be recorded perfectly'on a movie screen. It can then be reproduced, along with a picture, in perfect synchroni- zation. In other words the perfect “talking movie’ has been achieved. Henceforth it will be possible for a presidental condidate to make his speeches at home, have his picture and voice filmed simultancously and appear per movies on a vicarious campaign trip. Orv with a thousand feet of film— minus pictures—the whole music of a two hous opera can be reproduced. These thin, and many other combinations including use of film in radio telephony—have been made by the famous American scientist and wireless pioncer, Lee de Forest. de Forest has completed his work here and is now under way to Amer- ica, where he is to adopt his inven- tion to the practical work of actual studio production. His invention involves simple ap- plications of {light and_edectricity | tachments, one for the film camera teachments, one for the film camera the other for the projecting ma- chine, the remarkable synchroniza- tion of picture and sound is achieved The sound is amplified through application of the well known prin- ciple of the audion amphimx—the attachment used in America in con- nection with transcontinental trans- mission of speeches. In lay language, de Fores’t inven- tion—he calls it the “phonofilm"— is this: In the ordinary movie camera a small gas-filled tube is inserted: This is linked up with an electric light. The actor appears before the camera, singing, playing a violin or talking. The sound waves, ‘emanat- ing from him, are projected against | the little gas filled tube. The intens- lity of these waves affects the in- tensity of the lectric light passing through the tube, and reacts to make a thin bead along the edge of the film. This bead or thread is the voice record. Meantime, the camera has [bccn yecording faithfully every mo- tion of the actor, and there are | synchronized with his voice or his music. | The film is then put into 'thu re- {pruducing lantern.

C., is out of date and behind the times in its school legislation is made plain by a comparison of lays re- garding compulsory ¢ducation as affecting the nation’s capita and many stat In five states school i{should, and those attendance is required until the child is 18 years of age, in three states until 17, and in thirty-two until 16. One state requires attendance until 15; six others and the District of Columbia until 14 and one state un- til the age of 12, but the law applies to illiterates only. There is no law for the District of Columbia providing for a school census of children in the city who who do, attend sLhool, nor is there any specifica- tion as to what constitutes the edu- cation which a child must receive. It is generally conceded that com® pulsory education is a national necessity; children do not of them- selves appreciate the need for educa- tion, and many parents themselves, comparitively uneducated, find more comfort in the daily labor of children than in the self-denial necesary to send them to school- It is urged that the schools and the school laws of the pital City should serve as models for the ndtion, and not lag far behind ‘the [progressiveness of many of the states. Local school authorities, parent-teacher associa- tions and many -civic bodies arc urg- ing upon Congress the need of con- structive thought and careful legis- lation for the schools of Washington.

That the relase was wropdght for ulterior motives andis \mlawful and unconstitutional. That the injunction was obtamed through misrepresentation.

The government, however, gives the electrical work- ers the right to renew the petition to quash’ 'the Daugherty injunction any time after Monday- The exact wording of the order was ““An injunction will issue against the' United States marshal restrain- ing him from acts cited in the bill '(filed by the clectrical workers) which are in excess of the terms of the Chicago injunction. Other mat- ters are here with denied without prejudice for parties to remew af- ter Monday.” Interest in bird dogs is reviving to a marked degree in this state. This is principally due to the fact that wise conservation laws have re- stocked depleted covers with prairie chicken. The present method of pro- viding alternate open and = closed seasons and of setting aside suitdble chicken territory as game refuges will undoubtedly enable this splendid game bird to maintain a foothold cven under the enroachment of in- tensive agricultural development. The state game laws permit the owners of dogs to take the same afield for the purpose of trammg them from September 1st to Sept- - ember 15th following, both datés in- clusive. It is unlawful for dog train- ers to carry firearms during this period or to inflict any injury on any game bird or quadruped.
