The large deposits of native silver in Spain were discovered about 1300 B. C., and in the next 300 years they were thoroughly exploited and the metal was distributed throughout the Mediterranean area by the Phoenicians, who, according to tradition, used silver anchors. Silver has been used as money since at least 1500 B. C., and for coins as long as coinage has been known, writes Frank T. Sisco in "Mining and Metallurgy." Bimetalism haa been practiced at least 3,000 years. Read the Want Ads! Saratoga Abundant With Herring;,Health Spot Saratoga is an Indian name and was applied to one of the favorite hunting and fishing grounds located on either side * of the Hudson and extending for many miles in all directions. Several meanings have been ascribed to the word. One is that it means the "hillside country of the great river"; another, "the place of the swift water," in allusion to the rapids just above Schuylerville; a third, "the place where the track of the heel shows," from depressions resembling heel prints in certain rocks^ and perhaps most probable, "the place of herrings," because of the great number of these fishes that swim to the outlet of Saratoga lake and thence into the lake itself in the spring of the year. The fish weirs that the Indians constructed were the source of much strife between the Iroquois and Algonquins. JThe Indians have known of the med icinal value of Saratoga's springs since time immemorial. In the winter of 1777 or 1778, General Philip Schuyler, one of the heroes of the Revolution, moved to Saratoga with his family. He had heard of the health-giving properties of a spring ixt the wilderness a dozen miles west of his new home and personally investigated. As a result, he determined to cut a road from his residence through the forests to "High Rock," as the spring was then known. This he did in 1783 at his own expense. 'Fatigue* Tests oa Steel Steel doesn't get tired and quit today, like it used to--for example, when you had to tote a big machineshop tool box on "the old bus" in case steel parts should get that tired; feeling and lie down on you on some lonely road. Now research has developed "fatigue" tests on steel* destined for auto and plane parts, and other equipment These teste, followed by endurance limit tests* determine quite closely whether the steel in question will go on faithfully doing its hard work tor the life at the equipment of which it is a vital part.

Waxing a Celling? Sent to the supply room, Private Lozier of the 76th field artillery battalion asked Custodian "Pappy" Jordan for some floor wax. "I don't have any floor wax," Pappy replied, "but I could give you some sealing wax." "You can't kid me," Lozier said, "I'm no rookie anymore. Who ever heard of waxing a ceiling?" Iter 8H Troopers A new development in equipme for the army's ski troops has announced by the war department.

Joseph Richardson Sr. was a Quak* r and like all members of that sect he was a great lover of peace, writes Raymond A. Dego in "American Collector." To aid in cementing friendship between the colonies and the Indians the Quakers formed the Friendly Society for Propagating Peace with the Indians by Pacific Measures. To further this purpose, in 1757, they had silver medals made which were presented to friendly Indians. The die from which these medals were made was designed by Edward ^Duffield,, famous Philadelphia clockmaker (1720-1801). Mrs. John Silski returned to her home here Sunday, after spending the past week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Reiland at Northbrook.
