BLOSSOMS FOR
SPRING millinery
PlUneS By No Means Gust
FIOWGry Beauty

New York, April 9.-Quantities Of
flowers are being used for millinery,
arranged in many instances in the form
of tall aigrettes composed of a num-
Der of mixed blossoms, such, for in
stance, as roses, helitrope, migonetto,
purple and yellow pansies, and small
pink geraniums.
These flowers are all massed to-
gether.
But they are chosen in such natural
and beautiful colors that the widely
different tints seem to make a most
harmonious whole. Floral aigrettes of
this description are placed sometimes
in front and sometimes at the back of
the new hats, and in either position
their effect is, beyond all questions,
exceedingly smart.
Other aigrettes are to be seen stand
ing some eight or nine inches high,
and composed entirely of green leaves,
pressed very closely together These
foliage aigrettes are very often finish
ed at the top with a single crimson
rose, with soft petals in velvet and
silk, and they look exceedingly well
on hats in burnt Tagel, trimmed also
with bows and long ends Of black vel
vet ribbon
Fine black Chantilly and Alencon
laces stretched smoothly over white
satin shapes will also be a feature #
the coming millinery, while long, full
ostrich feathers will be as popular as
ever in the case of hats intended foc
smart occasions. One very full feath-
er is frequently allowed to curve light
ly around the crown so that it almost
entirely hides tAe brim, while a sec
end plume, equally as long and lovely 8,
stands erect on one side.

the negro was entitled to the privilege of the floor. The man was John k. Lynch of Natchez, Miss, who Is now paymaster in the army and who rep resented the Third Mississippi district in the House in the Forty-third, Forty fourth and Forty-seventh Congresses. He was also temporary chairman of the re- publican national convention in 1884, which nominated James G. Blaine for President. Representative Humphries now repre- sents the Third Mississippi district, but he did not welcome his predecessor today. Lynch occupied a seat on the republican side of the chamber and remained in the House about an hour.
 Lynch appeared at the Capitol shortly after the House convened and presented himself at the main entrance to the chamber asking admission. He was stopped by Doorkeeper Heartsell of Geor- gia. Lynch remained at the door while Heartsell rushed in to Speaker Clark to ask what he should do under the circum- stances. The speaker called Representa- tive Sisson of Mississippi to the rostrum and asked him If Mississippi had ever been represented in Congress by negro named John R. Lynch. MT. Sisson re- called the services of Lynch and the speaker issued a pass authorizing Lynch to enter
 While Lynch sat in the rear of the hall talking with several old republican members it was nosed among the demo- crats that the former Mississippi con gressman was in Washington laying plans to run for the United States Senate from Mississippi just as soon as the consti- tutional amendment for the direct election of senators is ratified by the state. It Is the contention of southern democrats that the ratification of the amendment in the form that it has been passed by Con gress will result in the enfranchisement of the negroes who have been disfran- chised in the southern states by the oper- ation of the grandfather clause.' There are more negroes in Mississippi than in any other southern state and if they should be enfranchised it Is expected by the southern democrats they might easily elect the United States senators from that state

A phone call to the emergency hospital soon brought the ambulance ear and first aid outfit, picking up trained men on the way First aid was rendered, and the patient placed comfortably in the car on stretcher. Meanwhile that half of the mine side-tracked all cars to give the right of way to the ambulance car, which was rushed to the foot of the slope. at tached to the long cable and hauled rapid ly to the tipple where the resident phys ician, having been informed of the acei- dent by phone, awaited his arrival. Only 15 minutes elapsed from the time the man was injured until he was in the phys ician's care outside of the mine. Un- der previous conditions one hour and a half would have been considered a req sonable time.
 Patients are carried to the Mary Lee hospital for more thorough examination, or minor operations if necessary; taken home upon request or in case of serious injury sent at once to one of the Bir- mingham hospitals The Lewisburg hos pital fund is drawn upon for all bills rendered by the hospital or specialists.
 The underground hospitals, while not original with Lewisburg, is a new feature, and it's demonstrated usefulness will lead to it's general adoption by other mines in the near future.
 Sanitation
 MT. Cecil Grenfeld the well known Lon don capitalist. while guest of MT. Harri- son Stewart Matthews, president of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company, on an inspection tour of their mining camps, after looking over the Lewisburg property, remarked: 'Tnis camp looks as if it had been swept with broom. Its cleanliness surprises me" The remark was overheard by the 'isiting surgeon, who is also health officer and the following day, his enlarged chest led him to President Matthews office to re-

 The First Aid Society
 The First Aid society of Lewisburg, organized November, 1910, began life in a half hearted and unpromising way. Several contractors and coal miners at tended the meetings, but found busi- ness matters more interesting than the treatment of injuries. More than one lapse to the gates of oblivion occurred, and 1t was not until Mine Foreman j.. F. Smith was elected presiding officer that the society famed with new and lasting life.
 Mir. Smith is a Scotchman, consequent ly stubborn and persistent. His 2S years of mining experience had been more profitable than mere matter or so many tons of coal a day. His 1S years in charge of underground min ing operations gave him unusual op- portunities to study men who daily risk their lives in uncertain strata of coal and rock He saw many avoidable ac- cidents, the injuries from which were left untreated until the unfortunate man could get out of the mine as best he could and consult neighboring sur geon. He saw uncalled for suffering. and useful time wasted among men upon whom he depended for the upSeep ing of the mine, and output of coal. Such sights are hotbeds for thought in an active brain, and soon MT. smith found himself deeply interested in the study and practice of First Aid to the Injured. Sometime later, trained res cue team, of which MT. Smith was member. at Blossburg, won prize for efficiency. The United States govern ment rescue station offered their ser vice to interested miners, and Smith found a broader field of work, and source of much valuable information. Smith became more studious and en- thusiastic than ever, and upon taking charge of the Lewisburg society. found material hungry for the very work he wished to accomplish and eag- erly waiting for the contagious en- thusiasm which he forcefully spread with a generous hand.
 The cooperation of Superintendent John C. Caldwell was secured, and an other First Aid enthusiast created. MT. Caldwell Is a man who has made his own way from the ranks to his present po- sition of authority by his pleasant personality, untiring energy, and that unusual quality which enables a man to look you straight in the eye and tell you the unimpeachable straight for wardness of his lifes history without uttering word.
 Rescue corps and First Aid teams were organized and put to work in earnest. Soon the little boys became interested, and asked for a chance to make good. and all they needed was the chance. The junior team is thoroughly

 Town Is Done Injustice
 So much unfavorable notoriety has been given Lewisburg through the press and otherwise, which has done that sturdy little burg much injustice and 1t is in the hope of putting the mat ter before the people of the county and state in the proper light that this article is written. In describing the conditions as they exist in the Lewisburg camp 1t is only fair to say that similar condi- tions in regard to the operation of the plants are in vogue in many of the mining camps of the state
 Just a word as to the manner of deal ing with the men employed in this model camp. Hundreds of men are em- ployed and assigned to the duty accord ing to each mans particular usefulness. If a man fails to do work which come up to the required standard, he Is not discharged and ordered to leave the camp, but suspended temporarily and his case investigated. In this investi- gation the company physician largely figures and if the man is disabled Tn any way, whether from injury or poor general health, he is transferred to more suitable work or given rest until he regains sis former usefulness. In other words his health is recognized as being worth so many dollars and cents in ultimate profit, even more than so many hours of work at so much per hour or day.

By CHARLES 1T. MANDY

So much sensational and unwarranted notoriety has been given Lewisburg during the past few months that 1t Is looked upon by those that do not know as the ''houn' dawg' of southern mining camps. To the average news paper reader Lewisburg means whole sale murders, ambuscades, small artil- lery and blind tigers, a miniature re- vival of the pioneer days of a western town, with no further use for the First Aid to the Injured than a working knowledge of gunshot wounds.
 An impression more false would be hard to create, as in reality, it would be difficult to find quieter, cleaner, more orderly, or more industrious min Ing camp in the state, and even more difficult to find a more up to date, eff fcient and enthusiastic First Aid so- ciety. That lawlessness has existed in Beat 22, is regretfully admitted. That the citizens of Lewisburg have partici- pated in this lawlesness to the slight est extent Is most emphatically denied. Everybody, even father. is too busily engaged with their work from a. m. until p. m. to think of anything else, and night means many hours of well earned rest, instead of idle loaf ing and reyelry

Value Recognized

First aid to the injured has long ceased to be a questionable subject. It's value is recognized In practical way by federal, state and city authorities, and is in fact spreading to the com mercial and industrial centers where a large number of men are employed.
 Private interests encourage the form alton and maintainance of First Aid so- cieties, not only because there is a marked decrease in the number of dam age suits resulting from previous neg lect of proper protection, or after neg feet of inflicted injuries. but keeping apace with the modern and human ideas that laboring men are not dumb driven cattle" unworthy of consideration oth- CT than the 'featherweight' pay en- velope, every effort is exerted to in crease the physical. moral and mental efficiency of great plant with the same idea in view of a complicated piece of machinery which with weak spot in 1t will soon be consigned to the scrap heap.

The Mary Lee Hospital

The large and we'll equipped hospi- tals of Birmingham may be reached by ambulance within half hour. This makes 1t unnecessary to detain patients in camp who will not recover within 24 hours. The Mary Lee hospital Is lo- cated in the center of Lewisburg, and Is equipped wit ha modern operating room suitable for any emergency operation, a well stocked drug store. doctors office and sleeping apartment and garage. The hospital Is model of cleanliness and sanitary ideals, adding greatly to the appearance of Lewisburg.
 Underground Hospitals
 In working out details of handling in iured men, 1t was found advisable to pro- vide for immediate and proper attention to men who meet with accidents a mile or more from the entrance of the mine, thereby avoiding the delay of suffering incident to untrained handling. This problem has been solved by the construc- tion of two underground emergency hos pitals which are located centrally in the eastern and western halves of the mine, at points where all cars in going to the tipple. must pass.
 Each ward is provided with a comfort able ambulance car, sterile water, wash basins. stretchers. blankets, emergency first aid cases and surgical dressings of all kinds A man trained in first aid work is always within calling distance of the hospital entrance, and there is never a delay in handling an injured miner.
 So thoroughly is every detail system- atized that men work with clock-like ac- euracy and precision. Not long ago a miner was injured by a derailed coal car one and a half miles from the mouth of the slope. A fellow miner informed
