THERE WERE AMPLE REASONS

Oklahoma City, Okla. Jan. 10
George Williams attracted the atten-

The officers crossed the street to
Williams and saw that he was per-

Are you cold?" asked the officer
Yes, guess I'm having chill,

Williams to the police station where
they found that he was wearing five
suits of clothes, one over the other.
The prisoner will make no explana-

comet from the Russian astronomer,
who discovered it. People who wish
to see this tailless body should first
locate Venus. the evening star, in the
western heavens. Then move the eye
about p degrees toward the north
star, and the comet will be seen as a
round hazy mass in the vicinity Of

FEWER FATALITIES

T is gratifying to note that there has
been a marked decrease in the
number of accidents in the an
thracite mines of Pennsylvania in
recent years, according to the figures
just issued by the coal company.
The production of coal. with the
possible exceptions of the past few
months, has been constantly increas-
ing during the past decade and the
number of fatalities has been just as
constantly decreasing.
From 1881 to 1889, inclusive. the
number of tons of coal produced per
fatal accident was 142,2S7. In the
following decade the number OF tons
dropped to 141,915, and from 1900 to
1909, during which time mine rules
were more strictly enforced and many
safety devices and danger signs were
introduced. the number increased to
1871. The average for the three
years 1910, 1911 and 1912 was 160, ,59l.
The figures are from the latest annual
report of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Mines.
Engineers say that the work Of the
coal miner becomes more dangerous
as the operations grow more exten-
sive and reach to greater depth, but
in spite of this fact the efforts of the
operators to promote safety in the
mines have succeeded to the extent of
holding level the fatalities per thou

inclusive, they were 4.45; from 1880
to 1899, inclusive, they were 4.27; from
1900 to 1909. inclusive. they were
4.24; and the average for the first
three years of this decade was 4.22.
The operators are proud of this
record, but unquestionably they can
go a step farther and begin to re-
duce the fatalities more rapidly. The
advance of science makes this posi-

of imports are becoming larger and
the monthly decreases of exports are
also progressively larger. Consequent

WHEN YOU TAKE IT

wv rHEN you take your vacation
N this year, take it with a grain
" of common sense. Remem-
Der that your employer, in
giving you the recreation time allotted
is to be taken into consideration. He
is letting you get away from the grind
and sweat of the office or the shop
so that you will return an ADLER work
man. a clearer thinker. than when
YOU went away. He is making an in
yestment in sunshine and air for his
benefit as well as yours, and you
should not cheat him if you are foolish
enough to cheat yourself.
The man who comes home from his
vacation more tired than when he
went away had better not have any
loafing time next year, So when you
take it this summer keep away from
the white lights that shine in the
health and moral running resorts at
night and get out into the sunlight
that will let you go back to your work
with a Redeemed nose and liver that
makes you feel like fghting cock.

w1P1NG OUT TRADE BALANCE

-HE Underwood tariff has cost the
United States a loss for the year
i ending June 80, 1914, of $751;
416,54O. The loss for June alone
amounts to s32,S12.561.
These figures, amazingly large as
they are, are authentic. They are not
estimates. They can be proved by
anybody caring to verify them.
The new tariff law has been in
operation only since last October, and
the wooden schedule did not become
effective until January l. Assuming
that the increase in imports and the
decrease in exports during the pres
ent fiscal year equal the records for
June, the total loss to American in
dustry for the year ending June 80,
1915, will be nearly 100000, 900.
These statistics were compiled by
C.. II. Brown. chairman of the Ma
tional Hosiery Manufacturers legisa-
tive committee in Washington. They
were taken from the governmental sta
tistics, which will be issued in detailed
form about August 10.
Mr.. Brown shows that the total i'm
ports for June, 1914, were $157772,-
973 as against $1S1,245,S77. This was
an increase of $26,527O96. or 22 per
cent.
The total exports for June, 1914.
were 157,119,451 as against $751;
404,916 in 1913, or a decrease of 4
per cent
The excess of imports over exports
for June, 1914, was s65S,522.
The excess of exports over imports
for June, 1913, was SS2,159,O 9,O39.
Total Imports for the year ending
June 80, 1914, were s1,S94,169,1SO as
against s1,S1S,OOS,2s4 for 1913, show
ing an increase of $S1, ,16O,946.
Total exports for the year were
s2,S64,626,555 as against a total of
2.465, 5,sS4,149 for the year ending June
80. 1913. This was a decrease of $101,-
257,594, making the total loss of
American industries through increase
in the amount of foreign goods con-
sumed here and decrease in the
amount of domestic goods consumed
abroad, $1S2,41S,54O.
The balance of trade or excess OF
exports over imports in favor of the
United States for the year ending June
80, 1913, was $652,s75,915.
The balance of trade in favor OF
the United States for the year ending
June 80, 1914, was only 470,457s75
The great bulk of this shrinkage
has taken place in six months and an
other year of the operation of the
Underwood tariff law will wipe out our
enormous surplus entirely and turn
the balance of trade against US. 'Ii
