McHenry, Richmond and Hebron were the other participants. Athletes, sport " fans Mid other ai?ttve people are invite3 to attend the opening of Ma Bacon's Nook on the West Side this Saturday. You needn't be afraid of breaking any training rules as she'll have the kind of food you want. » The high school lad* are out these fine (?) nights practicing for the coming county golf tournament which will take placp at the McHenry Golf club on May 27. The course is like a carpet of velvet following the beneficial spring rain#. * McHENBY LEADS WHEN RAIN HALTS TRACK •V i ** <ViX\ totiurhaiincjit schedule of/the country club starts next Suwftfy with the first round of play for the West McHenry State Bank cup coming up. It's mighty nice to have an alibi all ready and not to have to worry about getting trimmed in the first round. Walkington finally ran into someone that can give htm a good run in the field events. Claus of Grant trimmed him in the shot and Burdock of the same school went him one better in testing the javelin. Is McHenry's pride slipping? Com* out Saturday and watch him closely. John Karls and Ray H«ww4 *«re th$ recipients of some laudable comments by Coach Orr at the banquet when he praised them as being the staunchest backers of McHenry high school athletic teams. Quite a tribute and no doubt they deserve it, as these two men are always on tap when help is needed. The first annual track meet of the Little Conference, newly organized group of county schools, will take place at McHenry next Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock, with Hebron, Maregno, Huntley, Richmond, Fox Lake and McHenry taking part. Get out there early and watch Ed Mooney and Ehorn of Richmond step off the hundred in less than ten seconds.' Aurora pulled the unexpected this year by opening with a free gate for the first time in racing history. This seems to be working out all right and the track looks like It might pay out for the first lime in years. The officials claim they can break even with a $76,000 daily bet and so far they have run over the minimum by a generous margin. McHenry met Grant, Hebron and Richmond high schools in a quadrangular track meet that was developing into a mighty interesting contest at the time that the downpour of late Saturday afternoon broke up the parft^ with McHenry in the lead by the narrow margin of 4% points. Ehorn and Ed Mooney furnished the thrill of the day when they tied in the 100 yard dash in the spectacular time of 9.9 seconds. This is mighty good time for high school and should win in most any meet. It makes one interested In the'outcome of their next meeting which will take place at 1 .o'clock next Saturday afternoon when the six schools comprising the Little Conference hold their annual track meet at the local track. Grant was pressing McHenry-all the way and had 48 points to 52 for McHenry when the deluge broke. Richmpnd was a slack third with 28% foutj have some mighty good individual performers that should keep them in the race next Saturday. Hebron failed to place a mai} in the point-scoring division. This is their first year at track* but they will come along now that their interest is aroused -v A ;> Summary: 100 yard dasih -- Ehorn (K)-; E.

At this time the rain intervened with the low hurdles and the half mile relay, two of the most interesting events on the program, yet to be run. McHenry should have rated highly in each of these events, but Grant high was in a very threatening position. The outcome can ,qnly be a matter of conjecture. . Next Saturday the winners of the first four places will be given ribbons and the winner of the meet will be the recipient of a nice, ' big trophy symbolizing the championship for the year ifl the Little Conference. Come on out and boost your boys, so that the trophy can rest in the trophy case at the high school. Meet starts at l o'cloek.. About the best show of its kind will be put on at the high school tonight with so many headliners that it is difficult to pick out the stellar event on the card. Johnny Pacek will be there, Jimmy.Fay may be, Louis Orr, brother of • L. S. Orr and teacher at Grant high, is on the card and then there is Howard Day. instructor of wrestling at the Naval Training station, who will take on Wild Jo® Brown in a grappling contest. The admission is still of the depression type so the usual full house should be on hand. . That higH wind andv rain last Sunday sort of spoiled the golfing for the average golf fans but some of the proletariat were out there whanging away in the breeze and having a mighty fine time doing so- And they saw one sight worthy of mention. There was a certain golfer that was caught in the rain while quite a distance from a shelter and found that he was a little too obsese to sprint the full distance so gave up and took his soaking "like a man, though it did spoil his fun for the rest of the day. Not as young as you used to were, eh, Ray? * GIRL SCOUT NEWS We're back again to our regular meetings, after the last two weeks being spent with play practice and the party for our mothers. We are starting our' nature project by studying the different kinds of trees. For our next meeting each Scout is requested to study the trees in their own yards and bring the leaf and name of each different tree. Some of our Scouts are taking part in the health program and are working very hard. Yotf^ will probably: see them in parade Thursday after school The Scout leaders, lieutenants and troop committees are planning to spend the weekend at Camp Hickory Hill, Edgerton, Wis. This is one of the many Girl Scout camps. Our leader read the Scouts a writeup of a hike, written by a Girl Scout down in Porto Rico.

What's happened to that highly touted trio of Mack sluggers that were annexed by the White Sox, namely Simmons, Haas and Dykes? Simmons dropped from the lead of the league to a place ingloriously below the .300 mark, and Haas went through a four-game series with Cleveland without the vestige of anything that looked like a hit.

When Sir Christopher Wren started his long task of erecting the great dome In 1675, harried by objections nnd harassed by money problems, he had little time for acoustics. Nor did anyone else during the 35 years the church was building. The result Is that there are few structures In the world so hard to hear In. Recent experiments with loud speakers, however, have proved entirely successful, soi far as the choir is cerrfed. The sermon can be heard perfectly, without tHe slightest trace of echo. Now all somebody has to do is to arrange matters so the worshipers themselves can hear. Loud speakers are no help to the congregation in St. Paul's.

The Salt Lake City assay office, a branch of the^Unlted States mint, Is a clearing house for much of the intermountain gold. Similar offices are I<t cated at Boise, Idaho; Helena, Mont; and Carson City, Nev. Production Drops In Year. According to C. N. Gerry, in charge Of the local $j|lce, gold production in Utah dropped almost one-half in a year. The figure for 1931 was $4,108,- 823 and in 1932 It was $2,MC,832. .•Gold, most valuable of the metals, I Is largely a by-product in this state, where the' production of copper and that of lead rank as major Industries. Recovery of the yellow metal from copper ore has declined to, almost i /nothing due to .curtailed copper' mln-»| ing operations. The true fignre of'com- i ruercial production. In this regard, probably is around 2? per cent of the 1931 mark. Offsetting it are operations of the ,men. who roam the desert andf climb the mountains, believing implicitly In the old prospector's slogan that "gold is where yon find It." Small Operator' Produces Most. Of the almost three million dollars turned in during last year, a vast majority came from the small operator. the man who was forced back into mineral seekihg because of the depression, bringing in rts wake a lack of employment In the commercial mines. Exact records distinguishing production of the lone prospector from that of corporations are not available,,but the best guess Is that the prospector now turns in more than twice as much gold as was the Case before current hard times, while the corporations, depending In the main on copper, Silver or other metals, lack customary gold recovery because of curtailed production. The best guess now, Gerry said. Is $281970.974 per year for all metals mined in the state, m 1931 it totaled $48.C«f)3.464, and that Is far less than the record of a decade ago. The decline ,40 -ivilue exceeds by far the drop In per-ton, pound or ounce production because of the slump In copper, silver, lead and zinc prices: Frenchman Loses Suit Based on "Patriotism** Met*, France.--A patriot who made an unusual claim for a war pension to the pension board has lost his appeal. " The claimant stated that on July 14. 1919, he decided to join in the patriotic jollifications over the return of the lost provinces of Alsac^ and Lorraine. He went out in the streets, already noisy witli laughing crowds. To add to the noise he took his revolver and, once arrived at the town hall, he fired Ills pistol in the air. • The gun happened to be an old onel It burst and the patriot was Injured In the hand. Before the pension board he based his claim for compensation for disability on the following points: If there had been no war the lost provinceis would not have been recovered ; if they had not been recovered there would have been no rejoicing: If there had been no national fete he would not have tired his pistol and would nevei have been injured.
