PLUNGED TO SAVE A BABY
Mine Workers Leap Into Deep SHAFT
Carried Him Below tho Fall
lnp Child.

Greensburg, Pap. J. McDonough.
q special officer employed by the
Westmoreland and the Penn Gas Coal
company, near here. performed one Of
the most daring acts Of heroism ever
recorded when he plunged headlong
down a 400-foot shaft and saved two
year-old child from death.
McDonough, who Is a great favorite
with the miners and their families, es-
pecially the children, had promised the
youngsters living near the shaft that
he would take them on an excursion
through the mine. About 200 had
gathered for the trip, among them a
two-year-old chap, Tony Anda, ac-
companied by an older brother. The
little fellow wandered from the rest
and. toddling to the brink Of shaft,
slid from view. Without q moments
hesitation McDonough leaped for
ward and with plunge also disap-
peared.
When rescuers reached the bottom
Of the shaft they found McDonough
lying unconscious on top Of the cage
with the baby on his breast, its arms
clasped tightly around his neck.
The swiftness Of his plunge had
been sufficient to cause the man to
pass the baby as both shot downward.
McDonough had turned over and
grasped the steel cable attached to
the cage, and this broke the fall and
saved his life.
Just as he landed on the cage the
baby dropped on his shoulder. Nc
Donough's ankle bone was broken. the
ligaments in one of his legs were torn
loose and IL ribs were fractured The
baby was not even bruised.

MINERAL CONTENT OF APPLES
Idaho Experiment Station Finds Ash
Amounts to z to .35 Per Gent OF
Fresh Mature Fruit.

Fruits of all kinds that grow on
plants which receive the largest por-
tion of their food supply through the
soil always contain rather large
amount Of mineral substances.
In the apple, for instance, 1t has
been found by work carried on In the
department of agricultural chemistry
of the Idaho station that the ASH
amounts from q to .35 per cent OF the
fresh mature fruit. This total ash Is
obtained by drying suitable quantity
(three and one-third pounds) OF the
quartered apples at a degree OF about
forty degrees G. for several days and
then burning 1t In an electrical furnace
at dull red heat until practically all
the carbon is consumed. The total
amount apparently does not vary TO
any great extent with varieties or with
irrigation or non-irrigation.
When this ash, which, from the ma
iority of varieties is perfectly white,
is further subjected to analyses, the
following are the most important ele-
ments found: Silicon, iron, aluminium,
phosphorus, manganese, calcium, mag
nesium, potassium, chlorine and sui
phur.
Although no one has been able to de-
termine the exact function OF these
various elements in plants and fruits.
it is generally believed that sulphur
and phosphorus enter into the living
substance; that potassium, magne-
sium, calcium and iron, although not
entering into the living substance, are
essential. but owing to the fact that
they are so widely distributed in the
soil, are absorbed by the root hairs
of the tree, and find their way to the
fruit through the tree sap.

SHE KNOWS AUTOMOBILES

Learn to run motor car IL you
are nervous and I'll venture to say
that you will be cured" says Mrs.
Fred A. Britten, wife of Representa-
tive Britten of Chicago, Ill.
"The process of the cure Is akin
to that which develops personal re-
sponsibility in individuals. Impose re-
sponsibilities, and IL a man or woman
has any inherent stability of character
at all an effort will be made to assume
them conscientiously, IL only for the
sake of the responsibilities. In just
the same way are nerves dispelled by
handling an automobile.
Emergencies without number are
constantly arising and they must be
met, and met quickly. Decisions made
while running high-horsepowered car
admit OF no revision afterward. One
realizes that human life as well as the
safety OF the car is at stake and, for
the sake of the responsibilities, one
finds himself rising to meet them.
Emergencies fade away as provoca-
fion for hysteria and one learns to st
cause the obligation demands It."

MORGENTHAU VISITS PALESTINE

Henry Morgenthau, American am.
passador In Constantinople, has just
made an extensive trip through Pal

Edelman, the vice-consul In charge,
and a dinner by the governor of
