That the locations in which the men must work are subject to varying condi- dons is we'll understood so much so that tlsere is need of the greatest care at all times. That careiessness has not been overcome among the miners is not surprising in view of such a human tendency, but the impoKance of eradicating 1t at the same time that attention is given the other safety provisions must be recognized. The part which each individual can play in cooperation with science Is of the greatest importance and both still have great opportunity for work in betterfug mining conditions.

BULLETINS SPECIAL YALE LETTER
Bureau of Appointments Reports Greater Interest Than Ever New Regulations Concerning Cutting Data on European War.

New Haven, Oct. 29-The Bureau of Appointments, an institution main
 tained for the assistance of those stu
 dents who are working their way
 through college, has issued the state
 ment that this year there is larger amount Of work being done by tine students and that there is a large in crease in the number of applications for work. During the first week of college 2S3 individual applications for sef-supporting work were filed with the bureau. For the most part these applications comprised men just en- terfng the university. The bureau has attempted this year not only to help men by recommending them for work of varying amounts but it has under taken also to plan out with each man his whole self-help career. With such an arrangement. the student finds that he can then for the entire year devote himself entirely and effectively to his schedule of work and study. Of the zs3 who applied for work the first week 112 were given immediate em- plOyHlent together with a plan for work for the year. Since this time all but 66 of the remaining ITO have been helped to some work. These e6 men for the most part are men who ap- piled not for general help but for some specific kind of work. This year the bureau has been able to start the men on 245 separate items of work. The largest branch in which the bureau

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
WHEN WAR COSTS JOBS.

Says one of the sane writers about labor conditions in America:
 Some hundreds of thousands or men who were at work a year ago are out of employment now through no rauit of their own When the business pace mends again their labor will be need ed.''
 Meanwhile we become familiar once more with the American army or the unemployed"
 It is far different army from those that are mobilized and following with cheers the leaders who cry out that they are fighting and dying for country. Our army is a dispersed and all but voiceless one: its members sit about their little homes (when they have homes) smoking cheap tobacco in blt- ter pipes and spending what little sav- ings they have managed to lay aside.
 We who work in this country must face conditions like this periodically. Few employers of labor will consent to keep on their payrolls men they do not need, though they will run their manufacturing plants at scant profit in order to utilize other perishable raw material
 There's no salvage for lost labor through the shutting down of factories and works. When the worker loses his job is is squarely up- to himself to finance himself until the job is open again or until he can find another Wages should be high enodgh to en- able the worker to provide for keeping himself and his family through periods of unemployment; that much is due from the employer to the, worker It is up to the workers, then to prac- tice the sort of thrift which will enable him to lay up one months pay out of every years against a time like the present It isn't our fault that Europe is tearing peace to tatters and des- troying markets for American made articles No, not our fault Yet we have to pay the cost of bridging over the time until world markets are re-established and the men who have the jobs are ready to call us again Envy the workers who has had the good sense to lay up enough to carry him across without worry

ExTENnINe TRADE.

While the country may be obtaining some immediate benefit from the trade which has come here as the result of the war. in Europe there is need of working for the establishment of mar kets which will be lasting. There Is a crying need for development In all lines and among all buyers of B demand for American made goods.
 Such is business which must be gone after and when business is giv- en the confidence which it needs there is no reason why 1t should not be per- sistently and successfully sought Made in the U. <. A." is the latest slogan in behalf of such an effort and as the New York Tribune says: "They should stand the most valuable of all trademarks. They must mean, wher- ever they appear, the best and the cheapest. The business men who ara pushing this movement can do a grea, service by upholding these standards To send out poor material, seconds products i'll adapted for real use. vii be to kill our foreign trade at itl birth.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION.

The influence of university should and does reach far beyond its walls. It is true or should be of every insti- tuition of learning and universities and colleges. both public and private in every state of the union are reaching for instruction not only those who come for the regular college courses but also thousands Of other men and women eager for additional opportu- mites through the consistently fn- creasing university courses.
 Though clements of the university extension work appeared as far back as 1881 the real beginning of the movement was in 1887 and its most rapid development has taken place in the last half dozen years. Tn 1891 twenty eight states and territories re
 ported university extensdon teaching. mainly in agriculture and since 1905 twenty eight universities and colleges have introduced the work while twen- ty-one others have reorganized their extension work on 8 basis of separate divisions or departments.
 As the result of the movement the campus of the state university has come to be co-extensive with the bor- ders of the states whose people tax themselves for it's support and still larger areas are served by the endow- ed universities in this popular way. It is as Dr. Claxton, United States commissioner of education. says, that the modern university sees its duty and opportunity wherever men and women labor in the heat or toll in the shadow, in field or forest. in leg tslative halls or executive offices. in society or in the homo or at any task requiring exact Knowledge of facts. principles and laws"

There Is no question but what the voters, in addition to a proper consid- -eration of principles realize the inn portance of the qualification and efzl- ciency of the candidates named for office. In giving thought to this vital matter 1t Is impossible to deny recog- milton to the character of the men who make up the republican ticket and their fitness for the administration of the duties which will devolve upon the holders of the offices.

SOUTH AFRTcA,s REVOLT.

When Premier Botha, of the South African Union recently communicated with General De Wet relative to the revolution led by Col. Maritz, there was yelled suspicion conveyed by his query as to what steps would be ad- vfsed for proceeding against the out break. Such a suspicion has proved to be well founded in the later ax- nounceuent that De Wet and Beyers are both found in opposition to the government programme and inclined to take up arms against the Botha ministry. Such means another rup- ture in that land of the Boers with at least one prominent leader of the former rebellion leading revolutionary forces while there Is an extensive Boer support of the existing government.
 This divided sentiment with some opposing the British war attitude and seeing a chance for the establishment of a republic, with others loyal to the existing government in recognition of the vast improvement which has been made under the existing conditions, presents 8 problem in that colony of no little annoyance to Great Britain. division is decidedly one-sided with the rebels depending upon the out lying districts rather than the large centers for their support. but how much actual trouble is going to re- suit remains to be seen! The feeling in South Africa towards the British empire is different than In many of the other colonies. That part of the sentiment favorable to the German rather than the British empire is not likely to accomplish much but with the entrance of De Vets opposition to the ministry the sttuation takes on a different and more serious tone.
