It Is expected that the other states represented will form like associations, the purpose of all being to prevent possible accidents in the coal mines.

Page of Washington as chairman, and Neil Rob inson of Charleston, w. Va, as secre- tary.

 In discussing the object of the gather ing, Neil Robinson secretary of the con- vention and noted mining expert of Charleston, w. Va, tonight made the following statement:
 within the last F or 15 months the mining industry of the United States has suffered from a series of explosions and disasters the like of which has here tofore been unknown in this country.
 'iRealzing the necessity for finding methods for the prevention so far as may be possible of explosions in the future, a call was recently issued for the assembling of representative opera tors from all over the country in order that they might confer with the ex- perts of the United States geological sur- vey and discuss ways and means for allotment of these conditions.
 "At the meeting today, assurance was given by Director Smith of the geological survey that the work of the government experts who are experimenting with ex- plosves and explosive gases will be con- tinued with as much vigor as the ap- propriatipns made by Congress will per nit

League of Respect.

1 In France a new organization, known l as the League of Respect to Women l has been formed. It is said the organi-
 zation will revive to some extent the
 old French traditions of politeness. Pla-
 cards have appeared at railway stations
 in the Paris theatres, in the cars, bear l ing advice in regard to polteness "Be | Polite To Women," appears on numer- ous posters. In Franco no man ever thinks of giving up his seat in a car to a lady, and foreigners who do so are regarded with curiosity. In non-smok- ing compartments men smoke without ask ing permissons to do so. Disrepect to women has grown to be a part of the national life of France, which so long boasted of being the polite nation of the world It is not expected that the league will revive the old traditions, particular ly the ceremonial forms of politeness, but it will at least attempt to briilg about a reaction.
 Manners" furnish daily themes for dis cussion outside of France. The question of the proprety of a mans removing his hat in an elevator when lady enters is still hanging fire. Smoking in cars, and safes also remains unregu- lated. except in cases where special pro- vision has been made
 A recent writer says that people are only polite to those they know. Certain ly," comments an observer of modern life, "people are amazingly rude in casual contact with their fellow beings. 'Tele- phone manners have been almost prover- 1of, lant the incivility of employees when subscrib- CTS themselves are guilty of exhibitions of boorishness? Subscribers to party lines accumulate a store of such experiences. It is matter of almost daily occurrence. Here you! get off the line. There is also the omnipresent person who probably ow- ing to indistinct utterance, gets the wrong number. and who shouts furiously, An, ring off or swears vociferously at the ln nocent individual who has been uselessly called to the phone. One woman was tel ephoning for medicine when some wan dering voice suddenly made itself heard. She asked politely to be allowed the use of the line for a few moments, adding that she got it first whereat coarse voice shouted, Got the line first! l like that; that's good! Say, you're talking through your hat! These embodied insults are a curious feature of modern life. Can we imagine that if woman, in any crowded place, asked man to let her pass, or to get near a window, or some thing of that sort, he would ejaculate. Say, you are talking through your hat" The telephone must prove a great relief to those who have an excess of bad tenn per and bad manners to work off daily.'

For Maid and MatrOn Is The Southern Climate Fatal Woman s Be04fV

N 4 ADAM Lenhoff, a French woman, IN1 although her name indicates a
 Russian marriage, is in Birming- ham on short visit.
 southern women." she says, "are most charming" Nowhere in the whole world outside of France has she found such hospitable creatures, such genuine sym pathy' such magnetic charm. Madam Lenhoff says that southern women are beautiful-but they lack in freshness Women not only mature rapidly in this climate, but they begin to look old long before they are 30. Their complexion loose their freshness at a time when they should be most beautiful. most youthful and it is all due to their climate
 Late hours, dissipation, indifference to exercise, are all enemies to beauty, but the southern climate is the greatest and most deadly enemy to physical beauty that is to its preservation. The most beautiful types are southern. but there it stops. climate that engenders rare perfection in womanly loveiness holds a cruel fate in store, like the coming of winter upon the flowers.
 The climate blights sooner or late.
 Madam Lenhoil ses, therefore, a neces- sity of special care of complexions, if woman wishes to preserve her youth fitness and freshness. She can to a large extent combat the climatic effects upon her skin, but it requires work, prayer and fasting, that is, exquisite cleanliness the proper selection of astringents, and a simple system of massage. Madam Lenhoff deplores the tendency among many women to bleach their faces Only harmful results can come from such a misguided method of beautfying. Slight facial blemshments, small growths on the fact furnish, too, causes of dis tress when any attempt is made to re- move them, resulting frequently in still further dsfgm ement.
 The women of the north says Madam Lenhoff, have the most beautiful com plexions in the world, clear, brilliant, It is due to the fine climate. A bad complexion is rarely seen Women live great deal in the fresh air, take more exercise than the southern women and the result is the brilliant complexion that is seen nowhere else, because the climate effect is so beneficial as well as the mode of living.
 Women in the west, says Madam Len hoff, wither at 15 and 20. The winds are bad for the skin. Women at 30 look their own grandmothers. Their skins wrinkle, owing to the hard climate They fade early It is the northern woman who has the advantage over women in other sections on account of climatic reasons. To be beautiful. however, women should be born in the south and then go north to preserve their charms in eli mate less fatal to physical beauty.

Thouqhts for the Day.

Pretense, worry, discontent and self seelxing-these are the things that we may let go.
 There can be no happy life without strenuous, unremitting work in it-work which occupies mind, body, heart and soul But what work shall we set our selves to do?
 Let us examine our capacities and our gifts and then put them to the pest use we may As our own view of life is of necessity partial, I do not find that we can do better than to put them absolutely in Gods hand, and to look to Him for the direction of our life energy. God can do great things with our lives if we but give them to Him in sincerity. He can make them useful, uplifting, heroic. God never wastes anything. God never for gets anything God never looses any thing. Though He holds the world in the hollow of His hand, He will yet re- member each of us, and the part we are fitted to play in the eternal drama. z<From What Is Worth While.
