tho coal district there had been an
unending limo OF tragedies, bringing
horror to hundreds of homes and sor-
row to many widows. This loss
would be bad enough were 1t neces-
sary. but 1t is still worse. because 1t
can be prevented. If the same care be
shown In Keeping open the air shafts
to the mines as is shown In keeping
the lifts in order, there would BIO far
fewer mine disasters. and II the COM
panies spent half as much in safety
appliances MS they spend in labor
saving and money-making devices the
death loss would be cut In half.
What we need more than anything
else in this business Is strict super
Vision of mines and careful regulations
for their ventilation. 1t has been very
properly suggested that a Federal
mining relief corps be organized SINH
lar to that the Government Keeps on
the coasts, and this will doubtless do
good: but It will not oe sufficient un-
less the States see to 1t that every
which man can devise be
in every mine.

man killed, and his blood is on the

OF the exiles who come back for u

surely go as missionaries for the state..
1t cannot be otherwise. Fired with a
desire to make Virginia greater, an"
e%ntiused by what they have seen OIL
the States prosperity, all who return
to their exile, will return to tell OIL
yirginia's glory and to boast of hcr
prosperity. Those who hear the story
Will become interested in the State
and, inevitably, many of them VIII be-
come virginians by adoption.
This, however, is the commerciai
side Of the matter--and the least I'M
portant. We want a Home Coming
Week because we want to welcome
home virginians who have left their
home. we thank God here In Virginia
that we know what home is. and we
want all v%irginians, everywhere, to
taste the joys of home. VIC
want to see old friendships renewed
and old love refreshed and old ties
bound anew.
1t seems well settled that August Is
to be the time for Home Coming Week,
because Virginia in August is the en-
trance to Paradise; Is Paradise
itself. The good hot days only
warm true hearts. and the bright
sky brings forth the best from our
soil. Everything that God gives Viz

MORE HOME COMING Plans.

Virginia Home Coming Meek is al
ready atousing the interest of eXiles
in other States. The very day after
the plan was suggested, an expatriate
Nirginian visited US. and said that he
wanted to be the first man TO promise
to return. When the proper time
came, he said. he proposed to drop his
work in the God-forsaken state where
he was forced to reside and to come
back to the State where the sun shone
in brightness and the smile of the Lord
fingered longest.
There are thousands of Virglnians
all over the Union, who arc merely
awaiting all invitation to come
home. Some Of them have been away
for years, ana some of them have not
touched the sacred soil in years, but.
when they hear tho voice of the state
calling them home, tho love OF yir-
ginia will seize upon them, and they
will hasten back, 1t cannot he other
wise. for there Is something about yir-
ginia that always draws the wunderer
back, in fancy at least, and always
makes the stranger within our gates

Happy Land,

4 MAssAcnn Ia oRpEn.

Within the last few weeks Il NUM-
bcr of song-birds have been making
their nests in Monroe Park. Evident
ly they are strangers to these parts,
and are unused to city noises, but
they have lodged in sore of the %tallest
naples, n have been making music
such as Richmond parks have not
heard in years. Every n who passes
listens to the birds, and can scarcely
believe that live song-birds are In
Richmond parks, unless he secs them
high in the tree tops.
What a pity there are not hundreds
Of these birds where there are only a
few! How much more attractive our
parks would be. and how much more
a delightful walk in them would be,
if there were song-birds in the place
of the meddlesome, twittering spar
rows. The only way to have song
birds, however, is to have no sparrows;
and the only way to be rid of the spar
rows IS to order a general massacre of
them all. Sparrows and other birds
cannot live together, or at least, the
| sparrows seem to think that no other
birds have any right to existence when
they are about; experience has shown
that whenever a city drove off the
s%parrows, the song-birds would come
back to delight the ear n cheer the
