The Saving of Human Life

The Saving Ot Human Lie
 Washington, Decem Der 1.-The say ing of human life in the mines, the stopping of millions of dollars of waste of mineral resources of the country, and an inventory of the wastes that are continuing are given important con- sideratiou in the fourth annual report of Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, Director of the United States Bureau of Mines, made public today.
 According to Dr.. Holmes, the bureau has recorded it's most notable achieve ment in the rescue of more than one hundred entombed miners at different disasters, and the rescue of many more miners by volunteers who had been ] trained in life saving work by the bu- reau. The bureaus influence has also resulted in the establishment of rescue and first aid stations at hundreds of mines throughout the country, and the ] Director makes the statement that the trained rescuers connected with these stations will in the future save the lives of many men. The total number of miners trained by the bureau has now reached 24,975.
 Despite the efforts of the Bureau of Mines, Director Holmes declares that the loss of life is far greater than it should be with the natural hazards of the industry, and makes a plea for more extended investigations on the part Of the government. "The humani tarian motives for undertaking such investigations are obvious" says the Director. "A sufficient economic req son is that during the past year more than $500 men were killed and more than 100000 injured in the mining and metallurgical industries of the country. One half of these fatalities and three fourths of the injuries may be regarded as easily preventable. The money loss from the accidents may be estimated at not less than S12OOOOOO a year, and this loss must be ultimately paid by the consumers of mineral products throughout the county"
 The necessity for a more extended use of safety appliances in the mines is shown by the statement that in the last five years, through lack of such appliances, more than $500 meu have been killed in the mines and nearly 10000 seriously injured.
 The Director comments upon the fact that in Kansas, Oklahoma Iowa and Indiana many of the men employed in the mines to set off the explosives have lost their lives, and recommends that the shots should te fired electri- cally from outside the mine. "In many districts" !" says the Director, "the meth ods of shot firing employed are still so extremely hazardous that only the most reckless men are willing to act as shot Grers."
 As showing the interest outside the Bureau of Mines in the life saving campaign in the mines, Dr. Holmes declares that the states are already expendiug in their work more than the federal government in all its investiga tious in behalf of mine safety He gives as an illustration Pennsylvania, with a yearly expenditure of S2l3000 He also cites that twelve individual mining companies have rescue cars, which is four more than are operated by the Bureau of Mines.

WEARY WILLIE'S NOT
 LOOKING FOR WORK

Just how bad the professional buns of New York want work was re- gently ,forcibly illustrated. Spurred to action by the cries of Kansas farmers for aid in handling the enor- nous grain crop of this year a meet ing was called at the Manhattan Ly- ceum one day to devise ways and means. Joe Cohen. who says he is temporarily the deputy of J. Eads How, the millionaire hobo' of St. Louis, was the orator and lunch was provided. This latter was not gen. erally advertised and there were only twenty-three aspirants-or consider ers-for jobs when the meeting came to order. Cohen had plan. He was going to ship two freight cars of men to Kansas, 200 to car with, as he said. "a cookstove and the eats" The only bar to the success of the scheme. he explained, was little matter of getting $15o for presenta- tion to the Erie railroad for moving of the aforesaid two cars to the Kan sas fields. No one knew how this was to be done and in the discus sion Wild Jone" O'Carroll, an I. w. w., got into action. <.
 ''I'd rather meet up with a New York cop than with Kansas tin bull." said Joe, "'and the bulls out there are some bulls. When the New York hobo gets out there to look for work the farmers boys see him com ing and yell. Then it's pa and the doubae-barreled shotgun. You boys better stay at home here than go to Kansas and be worked from sunup to sundown. Stay. in New York and protest"
 This logic apparently convinced the twenty-two who heard Wild Joe's" harangue. Just then the lunch was served. That was well cdmed. There was no further dis cussion of Kansas wheat and the twenty-three hobos still compliment New York by their presence.

F' " I.F-JT 'a " '. IF YOU ARE IN LOVE, NEVER
 WRITE, USE THE TELEPHONE

NEW YORk.-The love letter of ecstatic epithet, the love letter of mysticism, and the love letter of lat est literary achievements of Cupid. For example there are the letters just made public in the Schumann-Heink divorce case, in which MT. Rapp halls the day of his heart as my darling wonder girl," my inspiration girl" my darling present and future" and, dropping from poetry to prose, "my one best bet" If ever anybody need ed that valuable word of warning, Don't write-+elephone!" MT. Rapp is the man. He really goes to the head of the love letter class. But some critics may prefer more re- straint, more subtlety, and they should turn to the literary productions of Mrs. Elizabeth Holman, who. under cross-examination has admitted a mystic marriage" whatever that is, with MT. Holman while she was still the wife of Dr. Brenton. The follow ing extract is from a mystic" love letter in this case: q long for you so that I am half afraid to see you. long so to give myself to you-to be all yours at last, that I hardly dare think or write these words. Tonight, then, you are mine and mine alone" And another: "Oh, babe, babe. and earnest lover, tenderest mate, passionate, pure soul that love, I have just read the first of thy love notes. I have only this moment to write thee. I have sensed this mood in us both all the spring time. Now we keep together emo tionally every step of the way" And more in the same strain, which lack of space makes impossible for us to print. Then to close the exhibit, we have the love letter of finance, which came to light in the case of Miss Mae Sullivan, who sued A. I. Hoe for breach of promise. Here's a sample of the literature produced in this case: Dearest, for the Lords sake come ! p before Tuesday at il a. m. I'll get into a lot of trouble. S (Stade) says he xwants money by Tuesday or he'll start the fire going. I'm really crazy over different things" |"
 You were not in-"nded Q have these examples placed before you, of course, for on or about the date of its composition love letter is sup posed to be the property of just two persons, the writer and the read CT. But Cupid frequently shows a shocking lact of foresight in choosing his amanuenses. They get into var ious couruts and their letters follow them.
