It IS. painfully evident that We

Medical science has reduced the
mortality figures by its wonderful
preventive discoveries, but the rec
ord of drowning and violent deaths
through accidents is as bad now as
st was and perhaps worse, declares
the Boston Globe. we are too
prone to take chances"
We still have terrible railroad ac-
cIdents, but, as a rule, they are in
frequent and in many cases due to
conditions that seemingly could not
be avoided by human care5 but It
has taken long time for our rail-
roads to reach the present state Of
efficiency. The transportation inter
ests are trying to be careful, and
with some measure of success, when
the millions of passengers Who are
safely carried is considered.
It cannot be said that as a whole
the operators of automobiles have
educated themselves to appreciate
their responsibility to themselves or
to the public. The are still taking
chances" and until they are more
careful we shall continue to read of
accidents that might have been
avoided.

From This States Inability to
Supply the Eastern
Coal Markets

WASHINGTON, Aug 24--The coal
mining business in Maryland profted
as did that of virginia, by the inabtl-
ity of West Virginia to supply the
markets of both the east and the west
in 1910, the output of its mines in
1910 increasing in quantity more thap
90 per cent and in value more than
80 per cent over that Of the preceil-
ing year. Such is the statement OF
the Geological Survey, made today.
The coal production OF Maryland
for 1910 is given by the Geological
Survey as 5,217.125 short tons. valued
at $685., O5s, an increase of $1,19S-
ss4 tons in quantity and $1,363,327 in

bulletin issued today by the Geoloei-
cal Survey, benefited Indirectly
from the six months strike among
the miners in the Central or Miss

shortage of fuel in the western states
a large amount OF West Virginia coal
particularly from the southern part
OF the state, was diverted from the
seaboard to the temporarily more
profitable markets in the west. Prof

The good mines of Maryland gave
in 1910 to $500 men. OF
