Today, llosli-IIu-Slumali, be gins the Jewish New Year at .sundown. According to the an cient Hebrew calendar, the world was made 5ti!)U years ago, figures that agree substan tially with the Christian idea ns to the age of the world. Men have been, on the earth, in various forms, for at least 3,000,000 years. The earth itself is thousands of millions of years old. , More important, and most Jfcomforting, is the scientific statement that our earth will last, with the svm keeping it warm enough for human beings to enjoy themselves, for mil lions of centuries to come. In that time, doubtless, war will die out, also selfishness, poverty iind injustice. Hut sfich progress cannot be hur ried. The Canadian government bought a herd of 3IUO .selected reindeer and will drive them from Notzebue Sound in Arctic Alaska to the east side of the Mackenzie Delta in northwest Alaska.

Who Lost Lives in Worst Mutiny Nation's History Inmates Set to Work Re building Cells 1000 Without Housing Account Ruin. CANON CITY, Coio., Oct. 5.(P) A tragic drama, enacted with the vivid sequence of a well-staged production, today assumed a com monplace aspect at the Colorado state penitentiary as the debris of one of the nation's worst prison mutinies was being removed. Prep arations were going forward for funerals of the 12 who lost their lives in a futile attempt of five convicts to escape. Of the 12 dead there were seven guards who laid down their lives to uphold law and order. The other five were convicts, one fa tally wounded by a guard, three slain by tho ringleader of tho re volt, and the leader, who ended his life when his chances glim mered to nothingness. With his doath, the mutiny ended as sud denly as It began. Willie hundreds of convicts, not participants in the mutiny, bent to tasks of rebuilding cell houses and other buildings, plana wero taking form for an eight-fold investigation of the trouble. Noarly 1000 prisoners were with out housing as a result of fires thut swept tho buildings unfought. left to hum every combustible thing. Twisiod steel work was scattered about the granite buildings. Dam age of $300,000 to $400,000 was caused by fire and the subsequent attack by militiamen and volun teers on tho Btrongliold of tho fel ons . . .wh .., -.- ' 8tarted Thursday Tho mutiny Blurted Thursday noon In the prison mess hall when one of the, convicts, James Pardue, seined a guard's gun und shot tho guard dosd. Kour other convicts, A. II. Ihivls, Melvin Majors, Albert Morgrairtgo and Danny Daniels, ring leader, then went about the mess hull and captured several un armed guards. Meantime they hord ed other convicts around. Another guard was toppled from the prison wall dead. Continuing their march, the five desperadoes captured n total of ten guards. These men they held as hostages for their freedom. A note was sent tho warden saying they would bo free if the warden would provide auto biles and lot the five men go their ways. The threat for failure was killing of tho guards. The warden refused tho demand. . Subsequent domnnds were also refused. Mean time, bodies of guards were thrown from tho cell house where tho five men and their captives were barri caded. After four guards had been so slain, and tho warden was still firm In his refusal to glvo tho men transportation and freedom, Dan iels realized he had spilled all that blood In vain. "We will nevor hang," ho said several times. Mercy 8hot Pardue, wounded by a guard In the first skirmish at noon, a fow hours later was shot through the stomach by DanielB to "put him out of his misery." Early Friday morning, Daniels shot and killed his three companions. Ho told one of tho three remaining guards to notify authorities they wore giving up. The guard doubted, but later crept to tho cell where tho men wore. He struck a mutch and saw he was in a tomb Daniels had unded his own life and lay dead among tho others.
