Aviators' Safety Parachutes.

The energies of practically all the
inventors of parachutes for airmen
have been directed towards the devel-
opment Of device for the airman
alone, the aeroplane itself being al
lowed to drop to earth unhindered.
Parachutes for the whole aeroplane
have just been designed by French
inventor. Two folded parachutes, con-
tanned in cone-shaped receptacles, are
attached to the wings as near the ends
as possible. BY means of simple
mechanism, operated by the movement
of a small hand lever, these para
chutes are pushed out of the contain
ers, after which they are claimed to
open freely, no matter in what man
ner the aeroplane may be falling. All
the airman has to do is to hang on to
the aeroplane.

SHOE TOKEN OF Subsection
Ancient Significance Of Custom Which
Is Not Looked Upon as
Merely a Joke.

AS specially applied to weddings.
there Is suspicion that the throwing
or old shoes-or new slippers. for all
that-had at first significance which
would surely be most Objectionable to
notwithstanding brides. 1t seems to
have been token of tina complete
subsection of the bride to her lord
and master. In the East a shoe or a
slipper was publicly borne at the head
OF the bridal procession In indication
OF the brides subsection, and at some
Jewish weddings the bridegroom used
to strike the bride a blow with his
shoe as sign that she was thereafter
to be submissive to his will. Among
the HISTORIANS 1t was the custom for
the bridegroom to kick the bride, and
for her to remove from his foot the
shoe with which he had kicked her.
To this day there is common GUS
tom In Russia for the bridegroom on
his wedding night to require the bride
to pull off his boots. In one of them
is a whip, and in the other gift. II
she pulls off first the one containing
the whip, she gets a stroke from the
lash, and is to expect fioggings there
after, but II the gift is first disclosed
her married life will be happy. 1t is
related of Martin Luther that once,
after performing the wedding cere-
mony for couple, he took off the
bridegroom's shoe and placed 1t upon
the brides pillow, as a sign that she
should in all things and at all times
be subservient to her husband.

says writer in Baltimore American.
Have the ground deeply plowed and
well pulverized, pillow out the rows, go
ing twice in each row with the plow.
This will save hand labor. Set the
vines the same depth they grew In the
nursery, spread out the roots, cover
with good earth, press the earth, as
It is put in, with the foot. After all
the earth is in, spread one forkful Of
long manure, rotted leaves or straw
around each vine. This mulch will
keep the ground cool and moist.
Drive down a stout stake close to
each vine and train to one cane. Tie
the cane as 1t advances in growth to
the stake. When four feet In height,
nip off the top bud. Cultivate the
ground between the rows-the ground
must be mellow and free from weeds
and grass.
Never let the ground crust over and
become hard and dry, as this stops all
growth. The best varieties for family
use are Concord, Niagara and Della
ware. For warm, sandy and gravelly
soils, add few vines Of Catawba. It
is one of the best grapes for this class
Of soils-it requires high culture.

e. s. Bureau of Mines Is Ready
for an Emergency.
1T Has $4,000 Trained "First-
Aid-tO-Injured" Experts.
COULD STAND "POISON GAS"
Oxygen Helmets Would Save
Men From Trench Death.
Railway Cars Are Equipped for
Rapid Transportation.

Washington. Oct. 25.-The United
States bureau of mines is the greatest
Institution in the country for prepar-
ing men for war hospital service, de-
cIared Van H. Manning. the new di-
rector of the bureau, today.
This is one detail of the new pre-
parednesS" program.
I'm As hours" he said, $50, 600 train
cd first -aid-to-injured experts could
be modified in the great mining states
of the country L mean the trained
mine rescue crews. Think what that
would mean when this war has shown
that economy in men is of vital i'm
portance and that the sooner wound
ed man is given treatment the greater
the chances are for his return to the
firing line.
Since 1908 the bureau of mines has
done extensive demonstration and
training work among men in the big
mining companies throughout the
now has its corps of trained mine
rescue workers.
Have Helmets, Too.
These men are thoroughly expert
in all sorts of bandaging, treatment of
minor fractures, sterilization of
wounds and probing for foreign OBJ
jects in the body. In addition they are
trained to use the oxygen helmet,
which will permit them to enter places
where the air is too poisonous to be
breathed
Think how important this will be
if the present poison gas method of
warfare is developed for a greater use
in the future.
I'm all mining states there is an an
nual mobilization of these potential
hospital workers. Competitive drills
are performed by the crews. This
keeps the men in perfect training, ac-
customs them to working together and
insures the certainty of quick mobili-
cation in time of war.
These men form the finest field
hospital corps in the world. They can
move over all kinds of ground and to
overcome extraordinary difficulties
due to their mine, rescue work ex-
perience.
Supplies in Railway Cars
Another important feature of a
hospital service, and one for which we
are directly responsible, is base rail-
road cars, containing the necessary
supplies and hunks for the first aid
corps We have eight such cars, a
good nucleus for complete service in
war time, and with scarcely any
change in apparatus, they would be
ready to carry the crews as near a bat
tie front as need be.
rs it not an interesting paradox
that we who have devoted our energies
to saving men from the dangers of in
dustrial pursuit. should have at the
same time trained a force capable of
not only saving men from the dangers
of warfare but able to send them back
to those same dangers again to con-
tinue their fight -
