Gold Is Sought Aside from some "panning‘" by a mine near the spot where the workâ€" men found their nuggets, nothing fur. ther was done to develop the possible gold mine but now renewed interest in the spot is being shown. Fort William.â€"There‘s gold under them that streets, said Fort William residents recently. This fact, suspected for some time, was believed confirmed by the scratching claws of a chicken. The chicken, owned by Walter Bailey, yielded a gold nugget about the size of a grain of wheat while it was beâ€" ing dressed. Bailey resides near a brick plant where two years ago workmen unâ€" eovered a number of nuggets in a seam of sand, lying above clay that underlies Fort William. The find by Bailey renewed interest in the posâ€" sibilities of washing gold from the sand. 43 Simply take Phillips Milk of Mafnesia after meals.

Italy Honors The champion mothers were chosen or the number of .healthy children in their families, and those with less than eight were not even in the running. Only mothers married since the World War were admitted to the contests. y They came to the capital at the expense of the government and are to be feted by the Romans for three days, which is Mothers‘ and Childrâ€" ren‘s day in Italy: Although there are some new facâ€" es in this year‘s assembly most of the champions are those who won out last year, many with another adâ€" dition to their brood. While in Rome the mothers will have free access to public entertainâ€" ments, will ride free on street cars and autoâ€"buses and will have free board and lodging. They will receive the plaudits of the public in a parade. ROME â€" Italy‘s most â€" prolific mothers, 24 of them, began their secor1 annual>celebration in Rome recently as guests ‘of. Premier Benâ€" ito Mussolini. hm All are robust physical types and the majority are in their forties. Their combined broods total 926 â€" an average of close to 10 apiece. The annual contests and _ Rome meeting are part of Mussolini‘s plan to increase interest in large families and thus augment Italy‘s population Last October he reviewed a parade of prolific mothers and their families at Milan. Since each represented a province, with two from Rome, the affair had some aspects of a national getâ€"toâ€" gether of beauty queens in the United States. Beauty contests have been frownâ€" ed upon by official Italy since the idea of the champion mothers was evolved. > Mussolini will receive them before they go back to their homes and will give them diplomas and prizes.

The last to come in was, Slyvia noticed, a drapper little man, typicalâ€" ly French, even to carefully trimmed moustache and short goatee beard. He moved directly towards the Conte: smiling amiably. "You know me, of course, m‘sieur le conte?" he suggested, amused at the sudden pallor of the Italian. He pointed to the Conte‘s Italian manâ€"servant, who came _ forward boldly at this moment, saying someâ€" thing to his late master which Sylvia did not hear, but understood next moment by the Conte‘s involuntary exclamation : ."So%? An agent of police! A snake in the grass!" Now, at any rate, Sylvia realised that she had wasted sympathy on Lester Vanderduyl over his seeming innocence and folly in allowing the d‘Abbatos and Tony to fleece him as they had been doing. He had been far wiser than she had dreamed. Even the fleecing had been, it proved, largely a myth, for his gambling debts had been mostly only covered by 1.0.U.‘s, which naturally now would never be met. From what was said, she discoverâ€" ed also much of what had happened in the woodâ€"panelled study of the Conte that late afternoon. The latâ€" ter had accused him of trying to persuade the contessa to elope with him, threatened a scandal, demanded a large sum to silence the affair. "The kindness of my Italian colâ€" league, Signor Gardini!" he gestured towards the man by his side. "I am here with khim â€" and M‘sieur Vanâ€" derduylâ€"to request that you and the contessa should aceompany us for an enquiry into certain of ySUF activities, and especially into an afâ€" fair of a year ago, when an Ameriâ€" can young gentleman committed suiâ€" cide in your flat at Paris." Lester, pretending to accept this suggestion, had then in his hand all the evidence he wanted, was believed to have gone to Monte to find the money, but had merely taken himself to where the Surete official and the Italian detective were waiting _ at the inn. The Italian police were just as eager as the French to bring the d‘Abbatos to book at long last. But that, while it satisfied them and Lester Vanderduyl, was of no vital interest to Slyvia, with whom the d‘Abbatos were only accomplices of the people whom she most wanted to see punished.‘ She watched the Italians escorted from the room by the detectives and Lester Vanderduy] only anxious for her own affairs to come nearer to settlement. "M‘sieur Sorot, of the French Surete!" the latter grasped, obviously trying to control himself, and with wellâ€"simulated surprise, "And what brings the great M‘sieur Sorot here in Italy ?" "My college mate, Conte!" Lester Vanderduyl loomed big and threatenâ€" ingly over the Italian. "Got me? I came over here to Europe to get at the truth of that affair.

Sylvia had to admit to herself that Tony, his back to the wall, carried himself without the slightest sugâ€" gestion of fear, even with a effrontery which made her almost admire him. The stockilyâ€"built detective from Shanghai, she found, was wasting no time over that. "Not the foggiest notion, Weston!" he retorted with a shrug and an exâ€" pression of wellâ€"feigned wonderment.

Followed a silence, tense with surâ€" prise, which the detective seemed to enjoy. Tony looked dazed, and the blonde beauty of Paula had taken a livid hue. The detective took a step forward. "You and Mrs. Carmichael can make up your minds to voyaging back to China," he said.

After discovering the â€" serious emotional disturbance that could occur in case of the adopted child, I reached the conclusion, or rather I had it forced on me, that the course of wisdom was to postpone the an. nouncement until the child was older and had other deep interests outside the home. The love of such a child for his parents and their love for him is in no way any different from that of ithe emotional relationship existing between the natural child and par. ents.

The male authority for the "drive" said the other day: "I am trying to get across to housewives the importance of disâ€" tributing their fish purchases over the week if they want to reduce the price of fish. The reason prices are as high as they are is because most purchases are made on Friday, and as a result additional help is requirâ€" ed by the dealers and it is necessary for them to raise prices to cover this overhead and expenses incurred durâ€" ing the lean days." Tuesday was selected because it is near the first of the week, and in the past housewives balked at purâ€" chasing fish on Monday or Tuesday because they believed it was leff over from Friday. According to those trying to out the scheme, if dealers wanted to cheat, they> can do it just as well on Tuesday as any other day. Fish are caught each day, after all. > \ In these days of intense specializaâ€" tion and dark complexity of medical science it may not be the doctor‘s fault that patients sometimes feel that the old human relation has vaun. ished and the sufferer becomes only a case.
