The vanguard of /in army.of nearly l.f?00 ^|l)/ii,| and 'AMiliHJP pecto's, who will search the whole of Canuthi and Its possession* In the for north to find where the dominion's vast untouched mineral riches lie, has left for the Yukon, scene of many famous gold strike*. One hundred and eighty to 200 other parties of gold seekers. made up of geological student* and laborers, and supervised by experienced geologists, will Htart nut for the far corner* of the country, often through virgin territory, seldom before trod by white men, to itnd and map mineral deposits at the expense of the federal government. The hunt will hist a year and will cost $ Ms lO.i n to. It Is unhpie In that the prospectors will do very little irrtfial prospecting nrut will he unable to slake claims. It will he piore of a geological survey. No Claims to Be Staked. The men will work directly for the Canadian department 0f mines, and since the department !s not allowed to stake claims, the gold hunters merely will note the loeetlon of their dlseoverle* and move .mi to other field*. Ultimately the deposits will he "rediscovered" by Independent prospectors, or developed by mining companies. The par'y j?Ht sent to the Yukon comprised eight member*. Later, when all the parties begin their work, about TO field* scattered between Nova Scotia on the east const and the Yukon on the west will be under survey. Particular care Is being taken in the selection of the surveying personnel. Young men Imbued with the pioneering Instinct will he favored and the survey will bo considered ns a challenge to their courage arid enthusiasm. While the work will take in the whole range of economirnlly valuable minerals, their net I vi ties will he concent im tod particularly In areas favor able to gold deposits. Uovemirient odielnls look at the scheme as an excellent means of speeding ih'velopui'Mit of Canada's gold Held*. Canada is the world's rid largest g,.h| producer and it Is tie' "pinion of geologist* that its production of more than Sloo.nnunuu annually could be greatly expanded. Geological^ Mapping. "It Is not .so mueh a gold hunt ns geological mapping." |)r. Charles Camsell, deputy minister, of mines, said In discussing the scheme. "For example, the largest number of parties will go to southern Saskatchewan to bore for underground water In the dried-out areas. The occurrence of minerals will he a secondary search. "lhere will be no prospecting. What will be sought are the Indications of gold or other deposits. When these are found and mapped, private IndusI try will carry on the prospecting and | development. "The personnel of the parties will Nary from two to seven or eight members. With each will be a scientific man. "While called a 'gold hunt' and. In a way. partaking of that nature, the plan really Is a return on broad lines to our gold geological mapping expeditions, modified, fop economic reason*. in recent year*. We expect, however. that It will be the basis of a great stimulus to Canadian mining industry." Biological Experiment Opens Way to Germ Study South Bend. Ind.?An Important biological experiment which may eventually lead to the Isolation of the germs that cause colds. Influenza and Infantile paralysis has been successfully completed at the University of Notre Dame, It Is announced. Prof. J. A. Iteynlers has succeeded after six years of constant laboratory work In obtaining absolutely germ-free guinea pigs and In raising them without contamination by germ life of nnv kind. The Importance of this work lies In the fact that It permits a study of any single germ on a living or ganlsm, until now considered Impossible. For more than .">0 years this problem has puzzled scientists who hitherto have contended that lire In an animal body was Impossible without bacteria. The presence of many forms of germ life has Interfered seriously with the Isolation In the past of germs that cause many of the most current human aliments. Consequently no serums or other effective preventatives for souk of the ailments have yet been do veloped. Bees Win Court Case Over Their Neighbors Marlon, nhlo.--"ls the h.-o to he .. not to he?"

One full century after the.United Htatea declared itaelf an independent nation the aouthernnioat bridge span-1 I nlng the "Father of Watera" waa at I St. Louis. During the following yeura, however, the engineers pushed steadily aouthward and 1030 found a com-' pleted apan at Vlckaburg, 200 miles j north or Now Orleans. The new Huey i I'. Ixmg structure now eloaea the laat | opening between Vlckaburg and ''the Gulf, and in furnishing a means for j Die Southern Pacific railroad to cross ' the Mississippi It displaces the lurgest' train ferry in the world. Hut besides its great length the Huey i\ Long bridge has other measurements with which to startle those who see it. The center span is bo high that even when the Mississippi swells to its highest there will be 135 feet between the surface of the wator and the lowest part of the bridge, allowing ample clearance for the largest of ships, that might ply the "Father of Waters." The midstream pier of the bridge stands where the water is 80 feet deep. Ninety feet farther on down below the bed of the river could be found the bottom of the pier. From there to the highest part of the bridge's superstructure it is 400 feet, a height equal to that of a 36-story building. Compared to the bridges ?r the world which a National Geographic Society bulletin lists as completed during 1!*3."? tin* New Orleans structure assumes a new importance. The most outstanding spun completed last year in Western Furope and one of the largest ever built there, Is in Denmark. It joins Jutland with the Island of Fyn. and provides passage for both railway and highway traffic. It, however, has a length of less than three-quarters of a mile. Russia finished a railroad bridge over tile Volga river which has a much greater length than the Danish structure, hut even it falls a few feet short of being a mile long. In America a large number of bridges were completed during the past year, and while many of them are Immense spans, none lias all the large measurements of the New Orleans bridge. However, when that great steel and concrete structure which eventually will connect San Francisco with Oakland across the San Francisco bay is completed it will be almost . twice the length of the Huey P. Long span. The former will have a length of eight and onefourth miles. Another mighty bridge is also being built in San Francisco. It will, when completed, bridge the famous Golden Gate. Work on both of these is now about half done. While the Huey P. Long bridge may be the most magnificent span in the vicinity of New Orleans, it Is not tho lirst long one that city has had. The New Drlennsl'ontchartraln bridge across Pontchartrain lake has a length of about 2.">,oo0 feet. It was opened to traffic in 15)28 after being built by private capital at a cost of $.">.500,000. ?The Pathfinder.

Sentenced To Attend Sunday School Compulsory Sunday school attendance is being required of W. C. Higginbotham of the Merritt's Bridge section of this county after he was con| vlcted in a magistrate's court some j time ugo for creating a disturbance outside a church while services were In progress. Mr. Higginbotham, a farmer, was originally sentenced to serve ten days or pay a fine of $10, but Magistrate U. E. Hutto, upon learning the defendant's finances were not In the best of shape, suspended the sentence and fine on the condition that he attend Sunday school every Sunday for a period of six months with a prepared lesson. That part of the sentence pertaining to the prepared lesson was later suspended by the magistrate when he learned that Mr. Ilig1 ginbotharn cannot read. The Sunday school attendance sentence is being faithfully served by Mr. Higginbotham, who, however, faces another charge of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature growing out of the affair at the church.?

I he government's conscience fund dates back to the year 1811, when during the administration of .lames Madison the sum of $5 was received by the treasury department from a person who did not sign his name. He wrote that he owed the Nation that sum. It was credited to "Conscience." Before the close of Madison's administration this fund had reached $250. Since then thousands of persons from all parts of the country, and Europe, who have beaten the government, soothe their consciences by sending money to the treasury department, j Usually the communications are unsigned. Of course, there is no fund known officially as a Conscience Fund. Such contributions are listed in the report of the treasurer of the United States as Contributions from known and unknown." The money is entered on the books as other public money and is expended as though it came from regular channels of revenue. But because they are prompted by consciences, the fund is popularly known as the conscience fund. Reports of the United States Treasurer show that there has never been a year since Madison's administration, with the exception of Monroe's administration and the year 1848, when some conscience contribution was not received. The largest came in during the administration of Roosevelt and Wilson. The total amount received during Roosevelt's administration was $100,160.70 and $106,084.66 during Wilson's administration. The fund contains contributions ranging from a one-cent stamp to $80,000. This latter was paid in a series of four returns from an unidentified donor. The greatest amount received in any one year was $54,923.15 which was paid in 1916, In 1935 it was disclosed that $617,576.41 had been received since 1S11.?Philadelphia Inquirer.

State of North Carolina, today tried ith brand new lethal gu? system of administering punl'shmenf to criminals convicted of capital crimes, and in the opinion of practically all the thirty newspapermen and witnesses it was perhaps the most gruesome affair seen in the I 20 years executions hare taken place at State's prison. I Described by many us being hellish in the extreme and defended only as to lethal gas by Dr. C. A. Peterson, Republican member of the 1936 legislature from Mitchell couuty, who sponsored the bill substituting lethal gas for electrocution, the execution of Allen Foster, 24-year-old Alabama negro, for criminal assault upon a Hoke county white womau while he was a member of a Civilian Conserva.tion camp, was ^he chief topic of conversation here tonight. Foster died in what-uppeured to he a form of extreme agony and where it takes about three minutes on an average to executo a utun by electricity, it took 11 minutes to dispatch the young negro by lethul gaH, despite the fact advocates of lethal gus contended it Is "more human" than electrocution. Dr. Peterson Is virtually alone in making that contention in the list of' those who saw the execution today. "They ought either to Improve it or abolish it," said Dr. R. L. Carr, legislator from Duplin county, who witnessed the execution. "That was a bad thing in here this morning." Foster, who claimed to have sparred with heavyweight Joe Lewis while a boy in Birmingham, clenched his fl^ts and told the newspapermen as he sat In the chair he once fought Louis. He spoke to them through the thick glass separating witnesses from the condemned and lip reading was In order. After the hydrocyanic achl caused by a meeting of potassium cyanide with hydrochloric acid started envel-1 oping him, Foster appeared to hold his breath for almost q^nlnute and tlion he inhaled deeply only to blow the whitish fumes out of his mouth like cigarette smoke. Twice again he did that but the fourth inhalation saw him slump into the chair. I Minutes passed and he seemed to go into-convulsions. He acted like a man seized with a fit. He retched. The eyes in his uncovered face rolled grotesquely. His body lurched every now and then and for ten minutes at I intervals jt would give a great heave as though trying to leave the chair. The entire execution, including the time to neutralize the gas with ammonia gas, required 38 minutes. It seemed like hours. In death Allen Foster is likely to be talked about for mora in North Carolina thuu if ho wore another Jou Louie.
