BLIND MULE SAVES
50 TRAPPED MINERS

WEBB CITY. Mo, Nov. 4.-An old
blind mule saved the lives Of fifty i'm
prisored miners. ira pped 80 feet un-
derground by The terrible cave-in in the
AmeriCan-Davy coal workings here.
Ii was late in the afternoon and the
day shift was about to leave. when.
without warning. four acres Of shaft
and tunnel Cavcd in with terrific roar.
The air. compressed by tn" falling tons
Of rock ard wall and roof. blew down
the galleries in tremendous gusts aCtu-
ally throwing the miners about like
feathers. Seven Of them suffered brok-
en- bones and internal injuries.
All the lights were put out. and in
the utter blackness the fifty trapped
miners were lost and helpless. But
their foreman managed to erope his
way to telephone which led to the
surface. and fortunately found 1t
working Over IT. a voice from above
tod him that No shaft was still
open to the surface.
But as the cave-in had torn great
gaps in the floors and had broken up
the intricate galleries into even worse
confusion. the men could not find their
way to the shaft.
1t occurred TO them to make their
old track mule. Ben, their guide.
For years he had been as blind as
they were now in the backness but
he knew the galleries perfectly. by
habit. One of the men held onto his
harness and others followed holding
hands, and the mule guided them safe
ly to the shaft.

The first concert by the Boston
Symphony Orchestra was given yes

Pasquale Amato. baritone of the

The Brahms Symphony No. ?. in d
major. which was presented last
week by another symphony orches-
ira under the direction of Walter
DamrC sch, was the first number. The
work of DR.. Muck is marked by
fineness Of shading which reveals an
endless amount of work on the part
of both orchestra and director. yet
there were no dramat tics practiced by
Dr. Muck. His leadership is all that
is poised and finished. for his teach
ing is evidently done at rehearsals.
and only the perfect product Is given

either to establish the girls frats
firmly in the high schools. with the
consent and approval Of the authori-
ties, or abandon them entirely.
To Convince Skeptical.
"A get together movement among
the frats could do wonders toward
convincing the skeptical that in one
respect at least the frats are really
to be desired as a part OF the public
school life. Girls, as a general thing,
lack what might be called, among
boys, the gang instinct And the
tact that girls do not naturally fall
into groups, is one of the reasons
why. in after life, they encounter
difficulties in dealing with the every
day problems which confront them.
On the o:her hand, If the girls
wish. this is their opportunity to
withdraw gracefully in this breath
ing spell which has been given them
by the fact that the school officials,
owing to other matters. are not
ready yet to dispose finally of the
frat question.
1T has been suggested that if the
sororities abandon their Greek letter
designations, and drop the wells Of
secrecy, that much which has been
called Objectionable by those criti-
cising them. will be disposed Of. OF
course. to do away with the Greek
names, and come out open and above
board without rituals would mean
that the frats would be robbed of
much Of their ail6rement. Still, as a
fraternity girl, to whom the possi-
bilities Of good in the frat as an in
stitution appeals. I believe that we
should do this and insure the exist
ence OF the sororities''
