Hazel Chene thinks a girl never
looks more bewitching and more
like a lovers dream than when
she appears in the dainty frills,

STATE COAL, MINERS
LIKE INSTITUTE IDEA
Both Miners and Operators in
State Manifest Interest in
Them Now.
tseEelAL e e reLEeRAAl

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. "a
Coal miners Institutes are being or
ganized throughout the state and
both miners and operators are mani
Testing increasing interest IL them.
These institut ties are. in their last an
alyses, schools of mining methods,
Pioneer work of this kind was un-
dertaken about a year ago and since
then Institutes have been organized
in several sections of the state. AS
time passes these organizations are
being more thoroughly developed.
The first miners Institutes were in
the anthracite region of Pennsylvan-
ia. But the bituminous fields of West
Virginia were not slow in recognizing
the value OF the work and the opera
tors and leaders among the miners
took them up.
One OF the latest Institutes to be
formed was that of the employees of
the United States Coal and Coke Com
pany. Their organization was per-
| fected at Hilbert. w. Va. At the first
meeting papers were read by miners
and foremen on subjects that come
up in the daily routine of the mines.
! These papers had been carefully pre-
| pared and were listened to with the
closest attention. The miners did not
always agree with the conclusions ar
rived at by their colleagues and the
| discussion which followed served to
bring out a number of original and
meritorious suggestions. The mine
officials were present and some of the
/ suggestions made at the meeting
were carried out later, to the benefit
of all concerned.
Concerning the miners institutes a
prominent mining man recently had
this to say:
ut is a we'll known fact that tn
people of the mining camps are prin-
IcipalIy foreigners who are without
Education and generally with little
Il knowledge of the English language
. This deficiency OF knowledge on tbs
!. part OF the mine workers, by reason
OF which they are unable to under
stand the rules and regulations o
the mines is what makes them men
