tsese,ALI 4e 1aE TELseaA..l

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. s.
Awaiting himself of the holiday re-
cess Congressman Avis has worked
to contribute something of value to
assist the Bureau of Mines in West
Virginia in it's campaign to reduce the
mum Der or mine accidents and fatalt-
ties in that great coal-producing
state. He had mailed out to select
list of miners-those who are able
to read--which list was made up OF
names selected from the miners by
mine foremen and s6perint endents.
upwards Of 20. 600 pamphlet publica-
lions issued by tEcgbuFeau OF mines
These publications. cover a wide range
of subjects, and we're selected with
especial regard for their application
to West virginia mining conditions.
In the campaign for safety in the
mining regions the widespread 'ctrcu-
Iatfon of these publications, and their
study by the miners who receive them
ought to prove a vast benefit In de-
creasfng the number of costly mine
accidents, and the number of deaths
in the mining region of West Virgin
ia during the ensuing year. There
are $4,000 miners employed in the
Third congressional district which is
represented by Congressman Avis,
and his interest in their safety and
welfare is justified by both humane
feeling as well as by the enorm Gus
size of the coal industry in their dis
trtct he is serving.

Automobile exports from the United

than $2,000.000 in 1903. decade ear

The detailed figures for the IL
months ended With November show
that 23,579 passenger automobiles and
921 commercial vehicles valued at ap-
proximately $25,000,00O were sent to
foreign countries, and If to this is
added the nearly $6.000,00O worth of
parts Of automobiles, $3,500,000 worth
of tires and $1,500,000 worth of auto
mobile engines. the total for the IL
months Is approximately $4,000, 900.
The shipments to Porto Rico, Hawaii
and Alaska, which are not included
In the figures, approximate $4,000, 900,
making the grand total for the IL
months practically $38,0o0,O00 and
fully 5ustifying the estimate Of $40,-
100000 for the full calendar year

1912, 35.000.000, and in 1913, approx
mately $40,000,0OO.
Meantime the imports of automo-

total value Of automobiles and parts
thereof imported in 1909 were nearly
$4.O00.O00, and in 1913 about $780,
