JOIN THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.
There's one more days fighting for
the armies Of the Commercaal club
that have been battling % vallantly
this week for an increassd member
ship. And it il up to the public
spirited citizens TO make their victory
q memorable one BY adding their
names on tho roster 6f this important
organisation.
Since the rejuvenation Of . few
years ago. the Commercial club has
measured up in fine shape to its OPP
portunities and responsibilities. 1t
has played . prominent part In AL Of
the worthwhile activities of the COM
munity. More than that. 1t has sue
ceedsd in making Topeka's place on
the map decidedly more conspicuous.
It is. in fact. one OF the city's most
powerful assets.
But 1t can be made q bigger one.
The Commercial club II no different
from any other agency with the hui
man element in 1t. 1t can be made
better. It can be improved upon. It
can come nearer filling the bill. And
this Improvement can only be brought
about in one way.-through the in
creasing activity Of membership
that Is commensurate in every way
with the size of the city. and thor
oughly representative of all of the
many and divers interests In 1t.
1t 10 such . membership that the
club has been striving for this week.
and the efforts for which will be con-
cluded tomorrow. Considerable sue
cess has been attained go far in the
campaign. 1t should be made en-
phatic on the last day by a veritable
rush of Topekans to add their names
to the lists. The more shoulders that
are put to Topeka's wheel of progress.
the greater the speed It will attain.
A larger Topeka. a more active To-
peka. a better Topeka in every pos
sible way-and it is for these things
that the Commercial club Is working
50 earnestly-such q Topeka will be
to the greater advantage of every one
living and doing business in 1t.

NINE SAFETY.

According to the report for the year
1913 Of Director Holmes Of the Bureau
OF Mines. during the few years since
the beginning Of mine-safety investi-
cations there has been q marked in
crease in the general interest taken by
miners, mine-owners and the general
public in questions relating to mine
safety. and a marked decrease in the
withstanding the increase In the num-
Der of men employed in the mines.
The bureau has endeavored to organize
and lead in the movement for mine
safety, and in addition to it's investi-
cations has disseminated a large
amount of information on accident pre-
vention. In this work 1t has had the
cooperation of state officials az we'll
as miners and mine-owners. The
activity of the bureau has resulted in
increased efforts on the part of mine
laboratories and mining engineers to
improve mine practice and better equip
the mines with safety devices and res
cue appliances. For instance, at pres
ent there are several thousand sets OF
rescue breathing apparatus in use, be-
ing. Rescue stations have been pro-
vided at which groups Of men have
been instructed in the use of apparatus
and in mine-rescue work This work
is also conducted by private agencies
and by the mine operators and
the Red Cross: but the demands
on the bureau for such instruction
have not diminished. During the
three years In which mine-rescue
and first-aid work have been taught,
81 .20S miners have been trained in the
use of the necessary equipment and in
methods. During 1913 over $4,000 per-
sons (miners) visited the mine-rescue
safety-cars and stations maintained by
the bureau. nearly $4,000 miners at
tended the lectures. and more than g.
900 miners were given rescue or first
aid training.
