GOVERNMENT AIDS
COAL MINING METHODS

The United States government test
ing station" at Pittsburg is showing
itself to be valuable aid in improv.
ing the methods of operation in sof.
coal mines. The object of the station
is educational. 1t is seeking to pro-
mote, in the bituminous districts Of
the country, the practice of the pre-
cautions which are already enforced
IN the most modern mines, including
the hard coal mines Of northeastern
Pennsylvania. It's ability to do this
will be increased as a result of the
new federal law creating a Bureau of
Mines.
Though the conditions in anthracite
and bituminous mines are quite differ
ent, there are in all mines certain fun
damental requirements for safety
such as regular and careful inspec-
ton, proper support wherever the
roof may be weak, thorough ventila-
ton, and rigid discipline for employees.
And it is often a neglect of one of
these fundamental requirements that
is responsible for a great mine disas-
ter.
1t was a series of calamities in bit
luminous coal mines that led to the
governments activity in establishing
the testing station" In these mines
the accidents were caused by fire or
the explosion of gas; and in some
cases the mine workers were penned
in because the only opening to the
surface was blocked by fire.
In the anthracite fields of Pennsly-
vania the precautions for safety nave
been brought nearer to perfection
than in any of the other mining sec
tons of the country; the federal and
state reports show that now pracJic-
ally all the accidents are caused by
the victims disregard of rules which
were made up for their safety. The
operators have always acted in CO.
operation with both United States and
Pennsylvania state officials III investi-
eating and installing every new safe
ty device that promised to nelp cut
down the list of fatalities.

SPANISH WAR MEMENrCEs.

Now come sthe matter of the con
domination by the national government
of four of the ships used in the Span
lsh-American War, which has aroused
storm of protest.
The four ships that have been DOOM
ed by the government for sale as Junk
to the highest bidder are the Boston,
the Concord, the Winslow and the De-
trolt. The government views the sit
uation from a business standpoint and
adVertises the ship for sale as so mucn
junk. This is undoubtedly true, if one
looks at it from the governments view
point, but will the people of the coun-
try stand for this action?
1t is understood that the Spanish
War veterans have already aroused
themselves to action with the intention
OF saving the ships as patriotic me-
mentoes. 1t is even rumored that as
lusty protest will be raised as was
manifest a few years ago when the
good old skip Constitution was about
to be thrown upon the scrap heap and
assigned to oblivion.
There are two vital points to be
taken into consideration in viewing the
question. One Of these is that the gov
eminent will have an expensive pile
of junk to maintain if all THE ships
that have been engaged in successful
war struggles are preserved, while the
other is that the wish of the people
as regards saving these historical rel
les is worth something. Which is the
stronger of the conflicting motives?
1t is matter which the government
will likely decide for ITSELF unless
popular sentiment interferes. If the
people of the country should speak
with unanimous voice for the preserva-
ton of the ships, the ships would be
preserved. So it is in reality up to the
people to control the action in the
matter.

California Bungalow Beautiful

The interior illustration shown here
with conveys a good idea of the pos
sibility in making a cheerful living
room at small expense.
The roof rafters of the front part of
the main roof are exposed in the liv-
ing-room, the sheathing of the roof
forming the ceiling of the front half
of the room. False rafters, as shown,
repeat this feature on the opposite side
of the room.
Vertical boards, rough surfaced as
when they left the saw-mill, continue
around the room over the shelf of the
fireplace, which is formed by three
planks each 3X6 inches, supported by
timbers of the same nature as those
used on the exterior porch work and
purins.
The difficulty attending the construc-
ton of a cobblestone arch has caused
the designer to form that member of
the fireplace by the use of rough
brick such as clinker or paving brick.
The dining room, illustrated herewith,
shows breadth of treatment in the
trim. The side castings of the openings
continue up to head casing, crowned
by a graceful cove, repeated in lesser
Importance by the cove moulding sup
porting the plate shelf. The stenciled
decorations are conventionalized repre-
sensations of the poinsettia, the win
ter blooming flower characteristic of
Southern California. Composed princi-
pally of red and green this design
would not clash with any color scheme
tending towards subdued green's or
browns. Grass cloth or burlap could
be used for the panels of the side walls.
