THE GAME OF FIRST AID.

Contests to Develop Skill In Treating
Mine Accident Victims.
A new kind of contest Of skill that
has its great open mir tournaments. its
competing teams. its cups and its
champions and even perhaps its bitter
rtvalries and partisan loyalty bets has
swept over the coal mining sections of
the United Suites in the past two
years. though up to the present it is
practically unheard of in large parts
Of the country.
First aid is the name Of the new
sport. the competing teams demon
strating their knowledge of how to
meet emergencies of accidents in coal
mines.
Sets Of rules have been generally
agreed on and officially promulgated
by a national organization. so a team
from New Mexico could compete with
the champion team of some Pennsyl-
vania district. for instance. and know
the conditions to be met as well as q
western football team knows the con-
ditions to be met in game with an
eastern college.
Each team consists Of captain and
four men and usually another man for
n subject. At the tournaments each
team, in turn. shows how it would
meet some accident described by the
judges.
At recent New Mexico contest. for
instance. each team was told to pro-
coed on the assumption that a fall of
rock in mine had broken the leg of
miner and had nearly filed the pas
sageway with loose rock.
The subject represented the injured
miner. and each team gave the proper
first aid for fractured thigh. impro-
vised stretcher and carried him to

The Frisid South Pole Once Burned
Under . Tropical Sun.
Probably the most interesting Of the
Scott antarctic expedition specimens.
which have just been placed in the
Natural History museum ut South
Kensington. are the few pieces Of coal
found by Captain SCOTS party in
latitude IS. degrees. in the middle Of
the frozen plateau that stretches from
King Edwards Land way beyond the
south pole.
The coal was found by Commander
Evans among the little bundle Of
fossils which Captain Scott and his
three companions dragged through the
blizzard with their other baggage on
that memorable return journey which
cost them their lives. The few tiny
fragments. under the light of science.
tell wonderful story.
II 1t is true. as these specimens
strongly indicate. that there is coal at
the south pole. 1t follows that at some
remote period there must have been
forests growing in this frozen. ice COW
cred land. Stored up in the little bits
of coal is the heat from a tropical sun
which ages ago shone over the hills
and fertile valleys Of King Edwards

AS he stepped off the train erich
ton glanced up at the big black clock
with the gold hands. 1t was already
a quarter past. three O'Clock, so he
hurried over to the telephone booths
to call up Curtis before his friend
should have left the little glass Office
down in Wall street.
A quarter past three is usually
very busy moment in, a broken's Of
fee, and Crichten was reminded of
the fact by the snarl from the Office
boy who answered his call. Even
Brooke Curtis himself spoke some
what peremptorily until he quite I'M
derstood who was at the other end of
the wire. Then there came: ''eW1,
well, ewll-that's fine. Arrived in
Boston this morning, Ell? You say
you're at the Grand Central. Well,
check your stuff right out to the place
and take the three-forty train. Try
to make yourself comfortable, and
I'll be out on the four-forty-fVe in
time for a game of squash. . p
An hour later Crichton was loung-
ing in a deep leather chair in Cur
It's billiard room. The whole place
was filed with golden haze, and
through this and the gray smoke
Crichton Ioked out of the broad
window on the stretch of deep green
sward running down to the water
and then beyond to the great heights
of the Palisades.
When through half-closed eyes he
first saw the tall figure with the finn
sy white waist and long, close-ftting
duck skirt, it seemed as if some fairy
princess had risen from the lawn and
was coming to waken him from his

dream. And then, as he instinctively
pulled himself out of the low chair,
he became quite conscious that this
was no fancy at all, but very good
looking girl who was breaking in
where she had no right to break in.
She certainly was very good to look
upon, at least so Crichton thought,
as, unconscious of his presence, she
came through the high French win
dow, the sunlight falling on a mass
of golden hair and lighting up the
clear skin, flushed crimson after a
long walk over country roads 1t
was, however, with a certain amount
of unpreparedness both as to his
mental and physical attitude, that
Crichton rose to receive his lady Wis
itor.
At the sight of him the girl uttered
a low cry and stepped back toward
the window.
ITS all right. 1 assure you, it's
all right" urged Crichton. Gust let
me get into my coat and I'll intro
duce myself
Its all right if you don't get into

becoming. Ned told me l must never
come in here, but 1 was quite sure
no one was at home"

so far as l can learn such
wrongs and annoyance have been
suffered to occur only against rep
resentauyes of the United States.
1 have heard no complaints from
other governments of similar treat

popular impression which it is pos

and affronts in retaliation for its
refusal to recognize the pretensions

Would Prevent War.
"Tho manifest danger of such a
situation was, such ofenses might
grow from bad TO worse unit! some
thing happens Of so gross and in
tolerable sort as to lead directly
and inevitably to armed conflict. 1t
was necessary that the apologies
of General Huerta and his represen-
tatives should go much further thai
they should be such as to attract
the attention of the whole popula-
tiOn to their significance and such as
to impress upon General Huerta
himself the necessity of seeing to
it that no further occasion for eX-
plantations and professed regrets
should arise. | therefore Hlt it my
duty to sustain Admiral Mayo in
the whole of his demand and to
insist that the flag of the United
States should be saluted in such d
way as to indicate a new spirit and
attitude on the part of the Huerta-
istas.
such a salute General Huerta has
refused and | have come to ask
your approval and support in the
course | now purpose to pursue.
This government can, earnestly
hope, in no circumstances be forced

co. Mexico is torn by civil strife
If We are to accept the tests Of
our own constitution it has no gov

his power up in the city of Mexico,
