 London. oct 2S--The miners safety-Iamp glass. on which depends tn e safety and livelihood of nearly. a million British miners is exclusively a<Gerrnan product, and English man ufacturers are unable to produce a. glass which will stand the exacting fest of the Home Office.
 This. fact, startling to mine owners and men, has come to light at q time when the newspapers and societies for capturing German trade are as serting that only cheap and trashy glassware and pottery comes from Germany.
 The Home Omce test of these lamp glasses is severe A pound wei glat of lead is dropped from the height of four feet on each glass submitted If two out of a, dozen crack or chip. the others are fejectedz After undergoing this test. the glass is submitted to a heat trial It is brought TO a tenn perature of PIP degrees Fahren' heit and dropped into cold water
 Not only miners glasses, but gauge glasses and test tubes for chemists have come from Germany in the past It is doubtful whether England is able to produce this class of goods accord. ing to statements of manufacturers. At least, the trade will not be built up in 3 short time. New equipment is re- auired and men must be trained for the new work
 Much of Germany,s glassware and pottery. such as is supplied to the more primitive corners of the world, Is as the Board of Trade exhibition shows cheap and gaudys But this trade is nevertheless extensive and profitable and one hitherto neglected by all countries. except Germany

power as well as coal and other non
precious mineral lands would be
opened to development by the
program recommended by Secre-
tary Lane and indorsed by Presi-
dent Wilson in his last message

policy would deprive the public lands
states of the West of the taxes with
which to build themselves up.
Vast portions of these states. he
said, were held by the government un-
der a leasing system, only the federal
government would profit by their de-
yelopment.
Carlson agreed with all Governor
Ammons said, and added that many
years of experience had shown conclu-
sively that private ownership was the
only system under which the re-
sources of the West could be de-
veloped
