REAL GOLD MINED NEAR WASHINGTON New Process Extracting Metal In Virginia. - Washington.--Cold, the luring metal that drew men across continents and icebound wastes for its possession, is being mined 30 miles from Washing ton. Plunging beneath the red Soil of nearby Virginia, a pink quartz ln»ar Ing a sulphide of gold is rewarding miners who have begun operations with a new secret process of recovery. The existence of the precious metal In Virginia has long been known, and several mines have been worked, with good results, but the vagaries of nature that usually oxidized the gold compounds of the West to free gold did not operate in the eastern section of this country/and the metal In this section Is found in compound with a sulphur oxide. Alfred H. Evans and George Wedeman have been working on a 75-acre plot near Clifton, Va., to mine the hidden metal. They claim that a gold bearing vein assaying $2.80 per ton was struck at the outcropping ledge of their vein. At a depth of 15 feet the pink quartz yielded from $23,110 to $30 per ton, they say. Although little free gold is expected to be discovered, several of the old Virginia mines yielded rich pockets of •the free- metal. More than $3,000,000 wort^ of gold has l>eeii dug from Virginia'" SoiL The process used in the extraction and recovery of the metal from its sulphide is said by Mr. Wedeman to be the result of 30 years of study. The gold-bearing quarts Is put through a Jaw crusher, a hammer crusher and a bnll mill. The resulting powder, as fin1.' as tlour, is superheated under a slow fire. Instead of smelting of gold dust, a slow oxidation takes place through an internal combustion of certain gases. Chemical agents are used in the process. The metal Is recovered by a mercury prpcess Indian Repay* Kindness r ^ With Expensive Pearl San Francisco, Calif.--David Healy, purser of the Panama Pacific liner California, has sailed the seven seas many years. Like most sailors, he's learned to help a brother In distress. As a result Healy today possesses a valuable black pearl. While ashore in Panama Healy saw a queer old figure gazing longingly, into- a pastry shop window. He appeared to be an Indian from the pearl islands. In his tery "best Spanish Healy asked the aged man what he was looking at. The man said he had a sweet tooth and no money. Healy chuckled, led the old Indian inside and watched liim eat his fill of sweets. For good measure Healy bought a sack of sweetstuffs for the Indian to take home. That was several trips ago. On his last trip through the canal the Panama agent for the line met Ilealy at the dock and handed him a small package. It had been sent by the old Indian and contained a black pearl of exquisite luster. Branch Institutions Factor in System. ^ London.--Branch banking, prohibited In ail except seven states of the United States, is the chief observable factor which distinguishes British banking from banking in the United States. ' Extension of this branch banking has been the major development In British banking during the last two decades. As a result, five big banks; usually referred to as the "Big Five,** now have what amounts to about a 70 per cent monopoly of the British deposit banking business. Although there Is no regulation to that effect the "Big Five" and other British deposit banks, as a matter of general policy, hold practically no securities which are not; of the so-called trustee class. They are chiefly giltedge government, municipal and dominion stocks, all readily realizable In cash. No Bank Examiner*. In the absence of official bank •** a miner ay the chief check on the soundness or a British bank is tbe annual audit, taken by recognized certified accountants, appointed by the Stockholders at the annual meeting, The Bankers' Almanac and" Tear BOok lists only 24 banks In England and Wales, eight in Scotland, and six in northern Ireland. A few of them, like the Bank of England, operate under royal charter. ' " Of these 38 banks, the "Big Five** own or control twelve. Thus, aside from the "Big Five," there are only 26 banks in England, Wales, Scotland, and northern Ireland which are actually listed as banks. There are scores of other Institutions which carry, on the. business of banking, which would be. classed as banks in the United States. They are Institutions which deal In exchange operations, investment bartking, overseas banking or act as advisers to foreign governments, but which are not listed as real banks. Morgan & Co., "Merchants.* Even Morgan-Grenfell, the LtittAitft branch of J. P. Morgan & Co., are listed by the Bankers' Almanac as "merchants.** The 38 listed banks have between them «lmost 13,000 main aad*«branch offices. The "Big Five" alone contro! about 9,500 of these branches, through their own branches and the branches of their affiliated banks. There were many outcries against the tendency to concentrate the banking business In the hands of a few of the big banks. Residents of provincial cities and towns protested in particular, claiming that London headquarters would not consider their Interests sympathetically. Objections were partially met in many cases by retaining the personnel of the old banks In the branches of the new. British banks have been criticized, "especially in labor circles, for being too cautious and too conservative, for not taking risks for the sake of accelerating Industrial activity. But now that the British public has heard something of the effects of the bank crisis in the United States, even former critics are praising the sagacity of the British banker.

EVIDENCE Washington, July 5--No spectre ha* ever hauntei more folks than the spirit of change now fluttering around official Washington. There is a call for a change everywhere. Not alone are increasing changes in government personnel provoking unrest but the collisions of new indeas with old principles is felt in every corner of the nation. Idealists, impatient of the slow march of their program, are gaining on the stubborn realists. - There is undoubtedly a class struggle raging as the relationships between employers and workers are revolutionized by law almost overnight- Affairs move with such kaleidoscopic swiftness that the vague theories of today are converted into working policies for tomorrow. Back of it all goes a fervent grayer of the citis^enry -fthat tfre experiments designed to restore prosperity wil! work out with a minimum of disappointments. It is. typical of the American philosophy of taking a chance--that "anything is better than stagnation." The Roosevelt Administration is staking its political future on the operations of the Industrial Recovery Act- It is their honest belief that six million will be re-employed within a few months. To this end, Gen. Johnson; the1 Federal Industrial Administrator, is rushing his program on industry and labor. Candor compels the admission that American busi ness is not displaying the same enthusiasm as is expected in similar "follow the leader" games known to our childhood. The labor organizations which will derive the greatest benefit from the application of the new law are acting pevish. Union spoksmen are chiding Mr. Roosevelt's conservatism largely because they want everybody back to work. Secretly they express the hope that workers will recognize the need for unions and flock to their .colors. Industrial leaders, whipped into line by the new law, are cooperating with laboi unions because the law demands it. No magic wand has yet been devised which could possibly abolish the antagonisms between capital and labor. It is a class bias that no lawmaker can change. Will the small town at last find its true place in the economic picture? Every merchant, realtor, and civic bodies would do well to consider the statement made by Dudley Cates, Vice-Administrator of the National Industrial Recovery Administration. P r o g r e s s i v e i n d i v i d u a l s i n s m a l l towns should paste this in their hat and act accordingly. "This Act may result gradually in the removal rt many industries to smaller towns to, get away from high rents, high transportation, and more complicated expenses and forms of living in the larger cities. It is possible that will happen, but it would only be gradual." The absence of the President is affording minor officials a rare opportunity to play politics. The aspiratiorr of the Industrial Recovery Administration to have at least one million amen re-employed before September is small potatoes compared with the patronage plans. They want all government jobs occupied by "deserv- "How did you know that that ladjr was not my wife?"

Callahan, Editor ** Modern Beauty Shop Magazine Good news for those of you whose natural appetite for food is constantly warring against your desire to reduce weight! Dont mind If your friends do tease you about not keeping to your starvation diet, because nutritionists say that you have no business following a too limited diet anyway, for such a regime will tear down your health and, as a matter of fact won't even bring you any nearer to your goal--a beautiful figure--because when weight Is too quickly taken off, it leaves the skin flabby--a condition which Is certainly not more desirable than plumpness. You should never lose more than two pounds a week. . A balanced diet should! be maintained when you are reducing just as at any other time.,' Here Is what should be Included In every reducing diet each day, because these foods supply all the elements necessary for health and yet are low in calorie content: ^ Milk, ,1 quart, for calcium, vifataln A and protein quality; vegetables and fruits, <5 servings, for vitamins and minerals; Ijsan meat, 1 serving, for protein - quality ; "eggs/-1 serving for protein quality, vitamin A and Iron; butter, not less than Vi oz. for vitamin A... • _ You will notice that fresh milk is Ineluded In this diet at the very top of the list Some people have the mistaken Idea that milk is fattening. This is not the case. Fresh milk is not In Itself fattening, but Is a low calorie food supplying tbe dietary essentials often lacking In low calorie reducing diets. Probably it Is because of its wealth of minerals and vitamins that people have come to think of It as a "rich" food, ft is rich hut not in fatproducing qualities. Because of the fact that ft is our most nearly complete food, at least a pint (if possible a quart) should be included In every diet, reducing, gaining, or normal, for this is the easiest way for you to be sure of having a balanced diet.
