SILVER MINES IN WEST REOPENED By United Press DENVER, July took the boards off the windows and unlocked the doors in the "ghost" silver mining camps of the West today after President Roosevelt signed a bill boosting the price of newly-mined silver to 71.11 cents an ounce. From a dozen silver towns, virtually abandoned after tumbling silver price took the profit out of mining, came reports that long unused mines would be reopened at once.
High in the Colorado Rockies at Creede, officials announced that the Emperius mine, which employs 30 per cent. of the town's working population, would reopen. The news caused a celebration that took the city back to the lusty days when it was subject to the couplet, "It's day all day in the daytime and there is no night i in Creede." Other silver mines there, which for the past several years havel employed barely enough men to, keep them in condition, will go on a twenty-four-hour basis at once, operators said. Michael B.

WAR IN CHINA IS THIRD YEAR From Page One as was the capital's only motion picture theater. In the North China port of Tientsin, where the Japanese army tinued its blockade of the British concession, British authorities confiscated an issue of the Japansponsored White Russian newspaper Resurrection, because of its "continued publication of antiBritish propaganda."

The British chief-of-police, R. H. Dennis, said the newspaper had no permit to circulate in the concession. In Shanghai the commander of the Japanese garrison accused authorities of the area of the International Settlement and the French concession of permitting arms shipments to pass out of the concessions to 20,000 Chinese guerillas, who are ing night raids on the Japanese positions around Shanghai. As the war entered its third year, neutral observers estimated Chinese deaths, including civilians, many of whom died of disease brought on by privation, at between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000.

Attacking flowers, shrubs, fruit and vegetables, the insects are as thick in these areas as they were in Philadelphia some years ago, Stichter said.
"The beetles seem to move on in heavy infestations for several years, stay in a place five ten years and move on again. Meanwhile, the places they have left behind gradually see less of them, although constant vigilance is needed to keep their numbers down," the inspector explained. Bulletins on how to exterminate beetles by spraying and trapping are available to alike municipalities and individuals at the United States Department of Agriculture in Washington, Stichter said.
