TO WARN MINERS
OF BAD WEATHER
Bureau Seeks TO Lessen Deaths
From Explosions.

Westinghouse the purpose of
warning mine operators at times when
explosions are likely to occur as re-
suit of atmospheric pressure condi-
tons. the United States weather blu.
reau is notifying the mine owners
throughout the country that it will in
form them, II they so desire, when ex-
ira precautions should be taken. In
Its circular the weather bureau de.
clares that when there is marked
fall IN atmospheric pressure the
chances Of mine explosions are greatly
increased"
DR.. Joseph A. Holmes. director Of
the United States bureau of mines, ex-
! pressed the fear that 1.-The warnings
themselves may add to the risks and
dangers in mines where gases occur in
dangerous quantities" investigations
have been going on for the last two
years. he said, as to the influence OF
weather conditions, especially atmos-
pheric pressure as indicated by the
barometer upon the amount Of gas In
coal mines. but the results obtained to
date have not been conclusive.
"As TO the value Of warnings" DR..
Holmes declared, "that will depend
upon the way in which they are used.
IL, as is hoped, they serve to make
miners and mine operators more care
full when these warnings are issued
| and not less careful at other times,
they may do good in mines where gases
occur in dangerous quantities. If, how
ever. they should serve to make miners
and operators less careful during the
/ extended intervals between the receipt
of such warnings, the warnings may
increase the hazards of mining In these
coal mines and thus indirectly be the
cause Of disasters. 1t should be re-
membered that large portion of the
mine explosions in the bituminous coal
fields are dust explosions, and most of
these occur in what are called nongas-
eous mines. These will hardly be in
auenced by atmospheric pressure"
Professor Edward II. Bowie of the
weather bureau. who has studied the
questions. said there was no doubt that
| atmospheric pressure increased or de-
creased danger Of mine explosions, de-
pending on whether the pressure was
low or high respectively, and that in
England warnings similar to those pro-
posed here had been issued for some
years. The bureaus conclusion. he
Gaid. had been the result Of careful Oh.
scyvation. both abroad and in this
country.

stood in the middle of clearing
in the valley below. Men with
muskets were loading and firing
at bowling, circling band Of In
dams.
AS we rode down the other side
of the mountain some one
shouted: "Look out there-hur-
ry! The cattle are coming.
"Ouickp said Kennedy as he
spurred his horse into a gallop
and turned his head straight to-
ward a steep ascent.
Just as we turned, herd of
wild-eyed steers rushed pen nell
over the ridge, driven by a band
OF cowboys, soo-hooing ana
shouting at them.
There wasn't any escape. The
only chance was to "get in the
game" and try to keep them
from breaking toward us.
Luck was with me. The horse
I rode jumped and swerved and
lodged and turned on his tracks
with all the glee of a typical COW
pony. It was a risky experience,
they told me afterward.
We started off across the ranch
toward a barricade.
This is an army picture 50 said
my companion. There's going
to be a pitched battle"
Real soldiers in uniform ad-
vanced toward the barricade,
which was surmounted by the
Stars and Stripes. Suddenly a
fusilade of shot, followed by
trail of smoke, blazed out from
the shelter.

ricade. A general hand-to-hand
conflict followed, and through
the smoke I saw a confederate
climbing up the hagpole to tear
down the national emblem.
Riding along down the horse
trail little later, I came upon
a group of gnomes and fairies,
whom ! learned to be child actors
doing fairy stories for the camera.
Back in the hills behind me a
director on horseback was call
ing to his Indian actors, who
were working with leading
woman, and a number of cow
punchers in an Indian picture.
Down at the ranch settlement
I found the outdoor stages where
comedy and drama, society plays
and pathos were being worked
out side by side in the sunlight.
When the sun put a stop to the
tour and I exchanged my good
pony for an up-to-date machine,
I realized I had only just had a
glimpse of what goes on daily at
the big Universal ranch.

house were in conference this morn
ing regarding the complaint from re-
sidents of Kent and Sussex Counties
that their prisoners committed to the
New Castle County workhouse could
be maintained at a less cost than at
present Under the law the judges
sitting in the courts of General Ses-
sions in Kent and Sussex Counties
sentenced prisoners to terms in the
county wOrkhouse Consequently
these counties, like New Castle
County have paid 40 cents a day for
maintenance Of the prisoners This
pays for the board and clothing as
well as the pay of the guards But
some residents of the lower counties
have been claiming the maintenance
is too high.
The trustees OF the workhouse to-
day went over the cost of feeding the
prisoners and keen in general The
trustees said that New Castle County
pays 40 cents a day for its prisoners
and the same charge is made to all
others
1t is likely that no change will be
made in the cost

BOY SCOUTS
PREPAREFOR CAMP

The Boy Scouts of America are pre-
pairing for camp. It is likely that
there will be more camping parties
throughout the country this summer
than ever before. In fact, there will
be more Boy Scouts in the woods this
year than last. 1t is estimated that
more than 100000 Boy Scouts Of
America will spend at least one week
II not longer in camp.
Every effort is made by the leaders
Of the Scouts to stimulate interest
among the boys in the outdoor life.
Accordingly Mr. West is cooperating
in every way possible with Scout
Masters and leaders of boys in pre-
paration for camp life. Bulletins
giving information as to what is
needed in camp and how to handle
camps have been prepared by ex-
perienced boy workers and are sent
free to Scout Masters and others in
terested in camp life.
The widespread interest in camp
life is shown by the fact that the
Boston and the New York Scout
Councils will maintain camps. In
Philadelphia arrangements are being
made to give the scouts an outing of
several weeks In the same way
Pittsburgh and Chicago and every big
city will have paid executives hand
ling the camp. From the small towns
boys will go in groups of eight or
more for at least week in the woods.
There they will practice scouting
after the manner of the pioneers, and
incidentally they will learn many use-
tul things.
