EXPLOSION
OF A GAS
POCKET

LINTON, Ind, Sept. 14.-One
man was killed. one fatally and
ten seriously injured today by an
explosion of gas pocket In the
Dugger coal mine in Sullivan coun-
ty. More than 200 miners were in
the tunnels when the explosion oc-
Cured. 1t was at first believed
that all were entombed and little
hope was entertained that they
would escape alive.
The men were working In dis.
tant tunnel. to which fact they
probably owe their lives. The killed
and injured were returning toward
the shaft when the accident oc.
Cured. When the news OF the ex.
plosion spread through the mining
community. the families OF the men
below ground rushed to the main
entrance. Many women were hys.
terical and some of the pitiful
scenes of the Cherry mine disaster
were re-enacted.

Saving Money Is an Art

We often say that we are go-
ing to save certain amount OF
money-but when 1t comes to
actually doing 1t we find It much
harder than we had thought It
would be. But II We actually
pay less than usual for our me-
cessities. then We are saving au-
tomatieally.
The best way we know OF to
save on the necessities OF life
is to read the advertising col
ums of the Press thoroughly
every day and take advantage Of
the money-saving opportunities
which they present. There II
never day that you can't save
a good round sum Of money on
something which you positively
must have by reading the ads.
Get the habit. Start today.

Heads of Navy Are Annoyed BY Women

minated in the court-martial of two
officers, illustrates the prominent part
women play in navy circles.
Almost everybody knows of the
mutual i'll feeling existing between
the navy women and the department.
Every once in while something hap.
pens to widen this breach. Only a
few days ago Ensign Charles M. Aus
tin, son of Representative Richard
w. Austin of Tennessee, was deprived
of an especially desirable berth by the
navy department merely because he
got married. He had been detached
from the dispatch boat Dolphin at the
Washington navy yard and ordered
to Japan for duty as a student at
tache at the American embassy at
Tokyo for the purpose of studying the
Japanese language. On the way to
his new post of duty he stopped at his
former home in Tennessee and was
married to a girl he had known for
many years.
This was too much for the unro-
mantle departmental authorities, who
suddenly decided that a married en-
sign would not make as good a stu
dent OF the Japanese language as a
bachelor. Accordingly his orders
were revoked and instead of spending
his honeymoon in Tokyo he will have
less interesting service at the naval
training station on the Pacific coast.
He will, however, have his wife.
