AIMS TO REDUCE
MINE FATALITIES
Uncle Sam Proposes To Have Life
Saving Service To Check Number
of Horrors Underground.
BY ROBERT r. WILSON.

WASHINGTON, May i6.-American
indifference is responsible for the
needless sacrifice OF the lives OF thou
sands OF American miners each year.
According 10 figures submitted 10
the senate committee on mines and
mining, nearly $4,000 coal miners
alone who lost their lives during the
past ten years might have been saved
had proper mining regulations been
observed.
Mortality figures regarding metal
mines have not been Kept, but the
cursory investigation made by the
United States geological survey re-
yeals the startling fact that the death
rate In American iron. copper, silver
and gold mines is even higher than
that in the coal mines.
This Is new information. Metal
mine disasters attract but little notice,
owing Il the fact that it is seldom a
large number of miners are killed IN
any one accident. But the metal mine
accidents make up in frequency what
they lack In size.
In the Iron county, Michigan, ore
mines nearly seven of every thousand
laborers employed are killed each
year. The man who takes job In
an Iron county mine has about the
same chance OF living a year out as
the men stricken with appendicitis
has of pulling through his illness.
He has even q poorer chance for
life than the child with diphtheria in
this day OF anti-toxine.
Science has come TO the relief or
the sick man and child. American
apathy has left the miner to his fate.
He delves underground that We may
ba warmed and fed and clothed, but
we have taken no thought of him.
America Is wasteful of her natural
resources. The committee on mines
Is informed that the annual waste OF
coal in mining is 250.O00,000 tons. The
total production is only 500,000,00O
tons. That Is, the mine operators
throw away one ton for every two tons
they bring to the surface. All be-
cause it's cheaper to mine that way.
The owners of zinc, copper, silver
and gold mines equal the coal mine
owners in prodigality in abandoning
half worked mines. One western cop
per mine daily wastes $4,000 of copper
in the smelling process.
And so II is estimated that AmRN
can mines, coal and metal toget
throw away each working day Of
year $1,000,000 OF priceless resoa

WILL IMPROVE
WEATHER SERVICE
Plan To Make Predictions 16 Days
in Advance May Be Worked Out
Successfully.

MT. WEATHER, Va. May 16.-The
fun--a boy would call II fun, at any
iate-s all over at the Mt. Weather
observatory when the kites and bal
looms used by the weather expert
mentors for getting upper air obser-
yations come down TO earth. After
that It's work.
The weather instruments are taken
from the sky visitors and the charts
with the recorded readings are re-
moved. Then follow the long even
tngs or setting down the figures for
comparison, and the drawings OF unin-
telligible red, green and blue curved
lines on charts.
The red and green lines mean a
great many things to the IL scientists
who live together on the mountain top
and TO the weather bureau in wash
ington, where the readings are mailed
every day. For from them Is likely
10 be worked out the science OF abso
lutte weather predictions for long per-
iods In advance.
For instance, what would 1t be
worth to this country to read some
morning, say June, l, the following
authorized prediction, guaranteed TO
work out TO a dot, with telegraphed
warnings To come of any unforeseen
disturbances?
"A general warm wave will continue

Think OF the value OF sud- a pre-
diction. Delayed planting would save
the late corn crop. Berries could be
picked ahead OF the cold snap and
saved, and there would be a week OF
grace for orchardists to prepare crude
oil heaters to save the young fruit
Picnics and all outdoor events, sched-
uled to take place during the predict
cd cold spell, could be postponed In
advance. Thoughtful preparation
would prevent many case OF pneu-
monia. No vessels would need to be
wrecked in the gale, for all might plan

could be prevented
That sort of weather prediction
