ing out its efforts TO reduce the
number of fatalities in coal
mines, the United States Geo.
logical Survey is about to estab-
lish rescue stations in the prin-
clpal coal fields Of the country,
in addition to- the experiment
station now located at PittsbHrg.
The new stations will be at or
near the greatest centers of ac-
cidents and Government mining

the use of rescue apparatus will
be assigned to these stations, and
ready at a moments notice to 60
to any disaster in their district.
Ts Train Experts.
1t is not the purpose of the
Government to engage in general
rescue work, but rather to DEM
onstrate this apparatus until
such time as the mine owners
have thoroughly trained rescue
crews at their mines. all of the
rescue stations are to be erected
in cooperation with the mine
owners and State Geological
Surveys.
One of the rescue stations will
be at Urbana, H., in connection
with the University of Illinois.
This station will take care of Illi-
nois, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa,
Northern Missouri and Western
Kentucky.
A second station will be locat-
ed probably at Ration, N. M, to
take care of New Mexico, Colo
RADIO, Utah, Wyoming and Mon
tana. A second station is sug-
gested for this district, to be To-
Gated at Salt Lake, Utah.
The coal fields of Oklahoma,
Arkansas and Southwestern Mis-
sOuri will be taken care of by a
station in the neighborhood of
South McAlester, Okla.
Several locations are sugges
ted for the station which will
cover Alabama, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, Eastern Kentucky, Geor-
gia and Southern West Virginia.
One plan is to locate a station at
Knoxville, Tenn, in connection
with the University OF Tennessee

there are many mothers and
fathers who have given the ques-
tion more or less thought. From
Sunday schools and other Organi-
cations also, which hold an annual
celebration around a gayly
trimmed evergreen for the bene-
fit of the little ones, has come
the question whether it is con-
sistent to urge conservation Of
forest resources and then to cut
millions of young trees every
yeSr to afford a little joy in the
passing holiday season.
"Yes, it is consistent and
proper that the custom should be
maintalned," has been the an
swer of United States FORESTER
Clifford PiDchot in every case.
"Trees are for use, and there is
no other use to which they could
be put which conSliiiDtlSs SO much
to the joy of man as their use by
the children on this one great
holiday of the year.
"The number of trees cut for
this use each year is utterly in-
significant when compared to
the consumption for other pur-
poses for which timber is de-
manded. Not more than four
million Christmas trees are used
each year, one In every fourth
family If planted four feet
apart they could be grown on less
than 1900 acres. This clearing
Of an area equal to a goOd-sizecs
farm each Christmas should not
be a subject of mEcn worry, when
it is remembered that for lum-
Der alone it is necessary to take
timber from an area of more
than 100000 acres every day of
the year.
Germany is conceded to have
the highest developed system
of forest management of any
country, yet its per capita use of
Christmas trees is greatest. The
cutting of small trees for Christ
mas is not there considered in
the least as a menace to the for
est, but, on the contrary, as a
means of improving the forest
by thinning and as a source Of
revenue. 1t is constantly en-
couraged.

II will not disguise that the ac-

principles has confirmed me. so
far as confirmation was necessary,
in my determination. Having op-
posed the adoption of the most
declaration in the plat

not the man to lead the democratic
forces Of the state in advocacy of
that policy; moreover, if that
policy shall, in fact, blaze the way

vocates) then some gentleman in
sympathy with it and responsible
for its adoption is entitled to reap

lar. In some manner 1t had come

geant Briars of Leicester that the
house of a Mr.. Stevens in Hendon
road was to be broken into on a
certain night. The detective, &C
companied by the owner OF the
house, waited in the dark for the
expected burglar.
The craftsman lid not disappoint
them. A fierce hard-to-hand fight
took place between burglar and de-
tective. Stevens could render no as
sistance, being unable to tell in the
dark which was friend and which
was foe. Finally assistance ar
rived, the burglar was captured and
the lights turned on.
All present were dumbfounded.
The detective was as much sur
prised as anyone.

headquarters repeatedly in the last
few months" heb calculated, "re-
porting he had seen suspicious
characters in various places. He
believed he had found traces of the
craftsman, and we acted on his
advice.
Spencer was wearing gloves
when arrested. He explained he
had worn them throughout his ca
reer in order that no tell-tale finger
prints be left behind. He declared
his extraordinary success was due
to the use of a mysterious powder
said by doctors to consist Of
opium dust-by means of which he
rendered his victims unconscious.
One victim died from the effects
of the dust.
On Spencer's person were found
pieces of meat saturated with
strychinine. He had used them to
kill dogs.
Spencer had taught Sunday
school regularly. He was married.
He said his crimes were practical
ly insanity, and he was glad he had
been captured.
