Condensed from't`N'ew York Herald Tribune in Magazine Digest.
The depression breathed a new life
listo the . ghost towns and near ghost
teems of the old igold.lmuning West.
Tihe last few years halve brought back
the. (busy clatter of the hammer, £he
roar of the stamp 'mill, contented
faces and happy voices.
But the existence of these rejuven-
ated communities is again threaten-
ed and, oddly enough, the same ev-
ents which may bring death to the
old centers of our golden 'prosperity
may, at the same time, bring life in-
to the ghost towns. of silver fame
which, for years, have slumbered on
in dreary inactivity.
Out in California, the gold mining
centers of Grass Valley, Nevada City,
Jackson, Eldorado, and others, have
come a long way back toward their
former glory sines 1929. Along with
others in the gold -mining sections of
Utah, South Dakota, Nevada, Color-
ado and Arizona, they are once more
alive after years of drowsing in semi
oblivion.
But this new vitality must • soon
make way for the old desolation un-
less there comes some change 'in
President Roosevelt's embargo on
gold exports. Whatever banker's and
economists and the general 1puiblic
may say about the advantages and
disadvantages of the gold standard.
to the gold ruiner the problem is di-
rect and simple, It means that the
ghost towns, .granted' a brief. respite
from liinl'3o, must return to antiquity
and go to sleep again under the blaz-
ing' summer sun and the winter snow.
'Fifty- years back. or so there was
gold for the twining in California',
mountains. The 'tales of the great
fortunes dug from those -hills seem
fabulous to -day. Half a century or
so ago, one out of every 2,000 in -
.habitants of San r'rancisco isas a
millionaire and he go: his wealth
from gold. Those were the days
when Virginia Consolidated Mines
paid out one million dollars in divi-
dends each month.
'The citizenry of all the mining
camps and larger towns were adven-
turers lured to, the scene by the
hopes, of wealth' and an exciting ex-
istence. They gave no thought to the
morrow. Fortunes were made, and
lost in •speculating. Life was a' game.
fast, exciting and uncertain.
' Volumes have been written around
the coaches 'that plied the California
roads. Romantic tales have depicted
the operations of the great mines and
the workers. The old Virginia &
Truckee' Railroad, .built to take the
untold wealth dug. from the Com-
stock Lode down to Virginia City
was once the best known and most
prosperous litre in the world.
But there came a day when the
greatest boom America has known
was over, after about four hundred
million dollars, most of it in silver,
had been taken from the ground.
There was no more of millionaires
overnight. The gold was less easy
rp
to get from .the ground and mining
'became an industry rather than an
individual adventure, Only a few
mines oo;+ltintye'd to operate at a great-
ly reduced rate of production. All
the etchers were abandoned. Towns
that had sprung up around them were
left-4eserted, and in those that were
not left utterly "Uninhabited, the few
poor creatures remaining were bewil-
dered and hopeless.
Thus for thirty years there were
these dreary, 'desolate towns through-
out the High Sierras., Through the
long winters snow pressed heavily on
the roofs of these ghost towns. The
soft sun of spring melted it and
dried the. streets. This -was the pic-
ture until the depression.,
There canoe a time, in 1929, when
all prices, except that of gold, drop-
ped ominously. With everything ex-
ceptionally cheap but gold still of
the same value, it -became possible to
mine the metal `more` inexpensively
than before and worthless nines be-
came of value once more. Like rest-
less giants' they began to stir and
•rumble,
Men were in demand and from all
sides they+poured into the ghost towns
which were' no longer ghost towns.
They were living, breathing 'connnun-
itir's. There was money in gold min-
ing.
Nevada City in Nevada County of
California is typical of. the revived
ghost towns. Less than ten years a-
go it was a dull, desolate place' with
only a few streets alive.. Some work
was done but on a small scale. There
Was no money in the town.
With the depression;: mines again
were operating at full blast. Money
became more • plentiful and business
was attracted to the town. Physically
it is the same town as before, but its
spirit has changed. It is a live, bust-
ling, thriving little community, with
strong banks and a prosperous news -
parer, -
The' ghost towns began to attract
many who had never before thought
f gold -mining, Numerous •unem-
ployed menand boys gained a liveli-
hood combing the beds of rivers and
streams of the gold-prodd4cing areas
for what metal they coul-d,find. Ev-
erywhere.: people became gold -con-
scious. The yellow metal was again
king over the whole World. Stocks
of gold -mining companies rose in the
securities markets of, the world.
Then, in April, carie the ,Presiden-
tial edict putting an embargo on gold
exports from the United States, The
announcenl•ent was 'accepted by min-
er's With no premonition of evil. Eng-
land and many other countries ad
gone off the gold standard, •but id -
mining had been stimulated thereby.
It was hoped that the•same move by
the United. States would have a sin-
ilar resul'f. like miners thought that
shipments of newly mined gold would

the public good" provided for in the

executive order.
•But days went by and the pro-
vision was not used. Mining people
'became unrfasy.. an Canada, South
Africa, Australia, they were off the
gold 'standard, yet miners received a
premium for their metal or were al-
lowed to ship their gold to .••London,
where it was sold under the•lhanimer
at the •prevailiirg 1nter-naticafal price.
In all these countries gold -mining had
received a new spurt. . Long-daserted
areas were swanning with life.
'But in the United States the boom
is decidedly dwindling. Gold here
brings close to $5 an ounce less than
the world price. The Canadian dol-
lar is also depreciated, but the 30` per
cent. 'premium paid to the Canadian
miners gives themethe prevailing in-
ternational price for their metal.
This is why the ghost town is
headed 'back toward oblivion, but dis-
mal though, as may be their situatipn,
the miners are still hopeful- that con-
ditions will change, and that the gov-
ernment may permit theme to export
their metal or pay thena a premium
on it. The gold miners would also ben-
efit immediately if the President a-
vailed himself of his power to reduce
the gold content of, the dollar.
In the meantime the ghost towns
are hanging on by a thread. If it
is severed, the still ail'• of decay a-
gain will , pervade the mountain air,
The ghost towns will be ghosts again.
The sante wind that threatens to
waft stillness into' the gold commun-
ities may breathe a new life into the
ghost towns of the silver -producing
areas. There are afoot many plates,
to give silver a standing,5n world af-
fairs, close to that of gold. In Wash-
ington they speak of rehabilitating
silver. They would permit the na-
tions of Europe to pay their war
debts in silver and.establish a rela-
tion between the price 'of silver and
that of gold. •These rumors have al-
ready had the result of increasing
silver prices and reawakening the in-
terest in silver -mining.
The silver camps of last century
had a history as glamorous as that
of the gold towns. Silver City in
New Mexico saw its first wild rush
in 1870. For years it was.a lively,
wicked, exciting community until the
collapse of the silver market ended
its glory. The other silver producing
States, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, .etc.
all have their silver ghost towns of
the romantic past.
Perhaps the death of the gold
ghost towns will see the rise of the
silver ones and thus mitigate the loss
a little. But there• is sorrow in their
passing, for this time it inay be far
ever.

DANGER
The months of August and Sep-
tember are the most dangerous
months for babies. This is the time
of year when large numbers die from
summer diarrhoea, popularly known
as "summer complaint." The number
is not so great as it used to ,be, but
it is still large --aver five thousand
each year in Canada.
It is startling to think that, in this
country, over five• thousand homes,
easel year, experience the sad loss of
t e newest member of the family
group as the result of summer diar-
rhoea. By far,' the greatest number
of these deaths ;occur in August and
September.
That is why we cry "Danger!" to
the baibies' parents, because we want
to warn them that there is a very
grave danger at this season. We warn
them of danger, not just to frighten
them, hut to impress on them the urg-
ent need for extra and special care
in order that the life and health' of
the babies may not Ilse threatened.
Fortunate is the baby who is :be-
ing naturally fed. In addition to all
its other advantages, breast milk is
sterile, and because it does not re-
quire to be handled or .prepared, there
is no danger of its being. contaminat-
ed: For these reasons, the- breast-
fed herby is protected• in so far as his
milk needs are concerned, and the
result is that comparatively few
breast-fed babies develop, summer
diarrhoea.
The milk for children who ate bot-
tle-fed or who have been weaned
should be safeguarded the year round
but in summer; extreme care niiust be
given it. In the first place, a pure,
clean milk should be purchased,
which practically means pasteurized
milk. Upon delivery, the milk should
Abe placed on ice, without delay, and
it must be kept cold until it is used.
It is also essential that the milk be
covered so as to keep out all dirt and
to prevent flies or any insects from
gaining access to it.
During the hot weather, the baby
should' be kept clean, as should be ev-
erything with whichi he comes in con-
tact. Keep him cool with cool baths
and a minimum of clothing on hot
clays, adding more clothes when the
day or evening is cooler. Babies, like
adults, need More water on hot days,
and they should frequently be offer-
ed cool, unsweetened water to drink
between feedings. There is no oc-
casien for Worry if the balby takes
less food during a hot spell, but if
diarrhoea starts, the doctor Should be
sent for AT ONCE! Delay is dan-
gerous and is often fatal, as is evi-
denced by the deaths of over five
thousand babies efteh year.
The' history of great poisoning c'as-
es shows that as a rule Murder by
poison is 'planned in secrecy. It is
not a matter of sudden impulse but
is usually thought out beforehand and
the plans are laid . with the utmost
cunning.
Every crime is committed when the
reasons for doing it outweigh the
reasons for not doing it; when in
the battle between the principles of
good and evil the latter overcpme
the former.
The analysis of the motives of the
criminal poisoner falls into several
defined classes. But the ways of the
human mind are strange and what
night seean an adequate motive to
one, might not justify the 'murder in
the mind of another.._ The study of
the -poisoner'• psychology -is, • there-
fore, very complex.
'Criminal poisoning is not confined
to any one class or type of individual.
Some of the great poisoners were
intelligent, educated and apparently
quite normal persons. Others were
of a coarse nature, brutal, callous and
ignorant
When in the environment of an in-
di-idual a coinlbination 'of circum-
sttances prevails which bars him from
satisfying some strong desire in , • a
norm 1, conventional way, a state of
mend is produced which prompts him
to break the code. His ni.ind becomes
obsessed by one idea which so blinds
hint to facts and arguments that he,
forgets the risk of discovery and pun-
ishment involved.
Craft and cunning, play such. an
important part in the mind of the
criminal poisoner that he thinks de-
tection almost an impossibility. He
sats out to accomplish his crime at a
time when it is least likely to arouse
suspicion.
It is typical of the, poisoner that
he takes no account of human suf-
fering or of agonizing pain. What
poison he uses is indifferent to him,
he only looks for the desired end and
for the best way to administer it.
In Europe, during the Middle Ag-
es, poisoning was so cornmen that it
was feared more than the knife. Pro-
fessional poisoners played an import-
ant part in political dramas. They
were openly hired by the forces in
power to put out of the way any
person whom they deemed dejection -
able. The tariffs for these services
were graded according to the rank of
the victims, the fee for a king being
the hig+hest, 0
The use of poison as a political
weapon began to wane in Europe in
the sixteenth century -aft& an unsuc-
cessful attempt` on the life of Queen
Elizabeth of England. Squire, the
poisoner, lead placed poison on the
pommel of the saddle of ' her riding
'horse in the hope that her hand,
.having comps in contact with the pois-
on. would convey it to mouth or nos-
trils.
The last attempt to remove politi-
cal personages by poison in England
was made during the world war, when
a misguided woman instigated a plot
to •kill Lloyd George and Arthur. Hen-
derson.
In, the fifteenth and sixteenth cen-
turies the secret poisoner often at-
tempted to remove his victim by
causing him to absorb some powerful
poison through the skin. Hence the
picturesque stories of poisoned gloves,
boots, shirts and other articles of ap-
parel.
' An examination of twenty notor-
ious cases of poisoning tried within
recent years has revealed that in
eight cases the object was' to obtain
money or ,property; seven 'might be
ascribed to motives of sex or lust;
one to hatred or jealously, while five
had no motive whatever.
The motive of greed is ever a
powerful one. The desire• for grasp-
ing of wealth may become overwhelm-
ing and appears to have the same
definite influence on some people as
blood on a preying anitnal. The mere
sight of a large sum' of rtameYeteeyr
induce murder.
The sex motive includes such emo-
tions as love, jealousy and hatred.
Love and hatred are only the positive
and negative aspects of the same re-
lation. But a woman's hatred is
generally mach 'more intense than
that of a man. • According .to the
German psychbl'ogist Gross, real hate
has three sources: pain, jealousy and
love.
Where sex instincts form the basis
of the motive of the clime, we may
assume that the mind of the indi-
vidual becomes, obsessed by a fixed
idea. The person who stands in the
way of his ifixed desire must be re-
moved.
•In the majority of 'cases which
yielded no evidence as to motive; the
criminal proved to be a woman Pois-
oning as a "feminine" crime has been
mentioned by.sueh ancient writers as
Livy and Tacitus. In the United
States statistics. show that five-
eighths of the,murders by poison have
been carried Out by w'om'en, Who have
either been housewives, boilsekeepers,
nurses or servants. In France 399
women 'were accused of criminal pois-
oning between 1951 and 1872.
' The answer to the question why
women should ibe given more than
men to this particular form of crime
may perhaps be found in the char-
acteristics of sex.' 'Women certainly
have special opportunities for admin-
istering poison secretly, by mixing it
with food or drinks. Moreover, a
woman does not usually possess the
qualities required for ether kinds of
murder, nor physical strength. There-
fore, she spontaneously makes use of
poisop, • `
As an instance of the type of crim-
inal poisoner who weeks without ap-
parent motives, intention may be
made of Hellen Jegado, a domestic
servant in France who caused the
deaths of twenty-three persons. She
was a common and repulsive Woman,
with dull, exprees'iohless eyes, Mys-
terious deaths occurred wherever she
was employed and in her last tithe -
tion seven people had died after a
terrible agony. She had nursed ev-
ery one with devotion, for as etre
said' art the trial "she was really fazed
of her victims," She was callous to
human suffering and appears to have
been irresistibly impelled to crime by
her evil disposition. It gave her ac-
tual pleasure to watch people die.
•Another case was that of Annad^,
Sc onleben, a German woman, ready',
to murder anyone who stood in the'.
way of her afnbitions. Also she ad-
mitted being amused by the suffer-
ings of her victims and to having a
real passion forpoisons generally.
She eleclared in Court that her death
would be fortunate for mankind, as
it wduld have been impossible for
her to have abandoned the practice
of poisoning.
It is noteworthy in •such cases that
the murderer is not satisfied with one
victim, but repeats the crime several
times. It doeslndeed seem as if
such criminals were the subjects of
irresistible -obsessions beyond their
control. '
The homicidal type who distributes
poison indiscriminately is more com-
mon in the East than in the West. In
India, where arsenic is vastly used
for secret poisonings, particulars are
difficult to obtain. But this type of
crime has been very common in India
for the last fifty years. The crim-
inals a'ae"rmostly. women and they are
very clever at disappearing and oblit-
erating all traces of themselves.
The importance of the study of the
psychology of-' the criminal is now
engaging the attention of the police
in severalacountries and it is hoped
that some method may be evolved
which will prove of considerable val-
ue for the prevention of crime in the
future.

Lloyd's will insure anything. which
isn't strictly. true. When they can't

they turn you down. When the news-
reels first sent men into the air to
take pictures, Lloyd's wouldn't insure
them. Later they got the figures and
began to write 'policies. They won't
insure when the personal element is
too strong, either—as against failure
in business,
'On the other •hand. Lloyd's do is,

but •the governtnent won't . let him
write a -policy. Some 'men in 'the liq-
uor industry, however. have gone to
London and got policies there. Rain

ball cines take it out. and marry de-

it would sink. .'It sank. Just lately a

plained "lager" to us, about which
we have always been vague and may-

cause all beer --in -Germany; anyway
—has to be "Iagered"; that is, allow-
ed to age for at least three months
before it can be legally sold. Much
of our first beer, turned out so fast,
was green. If beer doesn't lager, it
doesn't reach the right alcoholic con-
tent and smoothness. It's mostly
good flow, Luchow'e thinks, but not
so good as German beer, largely be-
cause the water used in Germany—
water is very important in brewing
—is better than ours. Not purer, but
better for beer...

heavyweight, is not considered a gen-
ins, even by his ;most ardent admir-
ers, so we ai'e told by a man who is
Pretty close to pugilism. Levinsky,
he says, was in 'Cletv'eland last s
MIST at the tines of ,the solar eoli se
and' although the papers were full
of it, he knew nothing n'bont it. When
most '(>f Cleveland turfed: out into the
Y.10 ,A
streets for the spectacle, an acquaint-
ance handed Levinsky a piece of
smoked glass. He peered up at the
phemnom'enon. After a moment, he
handed back the glass, and, shaking
his head, remarked in a tone -of deep
ooncern, "Yeah, dat's bad, ain't it "
