J. von Hirsch is 103 years old and says he still s to Kiss the girls when he gets a chance. He also recommends “plenty of walk- ing, a cold bath every day, and a Mojave Desert. For the last three years she has been living alone near the ghost town of Cooper City, 37 miles north- west of Barstow, boring powder holes with a drilland three-pound sledge shoveling ore from dawn to sunset. Thirty years old and husky, she bears little resemblance to the squint-eyed prospector of fact and fiction. But she's a sister to these desert rats in her eternal optimism.' “I think I've got it this time,” Miss Finley asserted confidently in talking of the three-foot vein of copper ore she struck two years ago. “If 1 keep digging, like the -geolo- gists tell me, I'll hit a deposit rich enough tc sell out.” Shoveling at the rate of about a ton a week, she has stacked 120 sacks of ore toward an order for 30 tons at $19.17 a ton. The ore assays 2547 per cent copper and 16 ounces of silver. “Why do I mine, all by myself on the desert? Well, do you know how hard it is for a girl to get a job these days? 1 couldn’t “find one, so I made one. And then, I guess, T have a natural feeling for mining.” Miss Finlay's sweepstakes copper mine is 4,300 feet above sea level, in the midst of a vast expanse of rugged mountains that span thé Mojave. She built her own road for half a mile from the mine to the Barstow road. “The desert doesn‘t bother me,” she avers. I like it. What is there to bother you? Why,” she added with a laugh, “I can see company coming for 14 miles!"” -~ GOLD RUSH HITS CELLAR 7 . PLACERVILLE, Cal, Jan, ®5.— When a big steam shovel started excavation for a new post office here, it also started a gold rush. Old tim- ers rushed to the seene and started panning the piles of gravel for gold, Known as Hangtown in gold rush days, Placerville is in the center of & mining region and-much’of the ground on which it stands is auri- | “erous. | MODES of the MOMENT,] by Adelaide Kerr WHO SHE IS OSEPHINE DILLON, drama coach who 16 years ago :l]nn‘ied f:1\ hstagel-s;ruck em- loyee of the telephone com- pany named Clark Gable and made him into an actor, hates riding- ‘on her ex-husband’s coat-tails. In Hollywood, where she has coached a long line of stars be- fore and since Clark Gable, she is known by her maiden name. Elsewhere she's apt to be called Mrs. Gable and that doesn’t set so well. Theré’s nothing dramatic ‘or romantic about Josephine Dil- lon’s appearance, no attempt to look younger. She dresses sim- ply, speaks in a gentle, cul- mfiad voice. Modest about her- self, she has only kind words for her former husband. He has worked hard and deserves his success, she says. This winter Miss Dillon is taking over a new job—teach- ing dramatics to the girls at hristian College, Columbia, 0. The course will not be ’eared towards producing pro- lessional actresses. She hopes to steer those who want ca- reers into teaching. There is actually a dearth of college trained dramatics teachers, she believes. - WAXAHACHIE, Tex., Jan. 25.—B. C.

'1l tell them to stay home until they have good general educations. They should go to college if they can. But above all they have to learn how to work. They should .give them- selves time to grow up. “It's very bad. Thousands of youngsters of high-school age are swarming into Hollywood ‘We have no use for them.
