TEST THAT NEVER FAILED

Among the old miners of SiskiyCd

his layoff down at Sawyer's. Once
the superintendent asked him why he
always selected that place for his va
cation.
Il want to have one yearly drunk, "
said Billy, 'and / want to know just
when am drunk. SO that may enjoy
the sensation"
well, can't you enjoy the sensation

BE KINDER TO YOURSELF
Women Are Often Victims Of Nervous
ness Because They Don't Know
How to Relax.

One OF the important things to know
In life, especially if you are woman,
Is how to let yourself alone. writes
Mary Carolyn Davies in the Mothers
Magazine. The ability to relax, the
art OF being judiciously lazy, the tact
to let herself alone has saved many
woman from nervous breakdown.
We all know the housewife who nags
herself into such a state of conscien-
tiousness that she cannot rest. If she
lies down she is continually worrying
herself with thoughts of the work that
she Is neglecting.
Much of the blame for this state of
affairs lies at the doors of the moth
ers. The mistake is IL. their training
OF their children, especially their
daughters. They are taught from ear
liest infancy to be kind to others, to
bear with them, to forgive them, to
help them; but from birth to death no
one ever tells them to be kind, also,
to themselves.
The woman who nags herself can
make herself more miserable than any
one else possibly could. She can make
her life more of a nightmare than any
misfortune could possibly make it. If
such women could learn to be kinder
to themselves there is no doubt that
their own lives would be heightened;
and not only that. but the lives of
those with whom they come in close
contact would be made far more pleas

COAL MINING IS SAFER
ACCORDING TO ANNUAL REPORT
OF STATE MINE INSPECTOR.
Production Fell off 1,oe7,516 Tons In
Year, Wars and Mild Fall Being
Causes Assigned.

Denver.-The number of lives lost
in Colorado coal mines decreased in
1914 to per 1000 employees from
Sc per 1000 employees in 1913, accord
ing to the annual report of James
Dalrymple, state coal mine inspector.
There were rs killed and $50 in
jured, giving an average of 1876 men
injured per 1000 employees. The num-
ber of men employed in the mines
was 1886. OF the accidents II were
underground and on the surface.
These accidents made 40 women wild
ows and 80 children fatherless. Thir-
ty-five of the men killed were single.
Over half of the fatal accidents
3S-were caused by falls of rock and
coal. Eighteen were caused by mine
cars and motors, by electricity, 3
by electric mining machinery and IL
by other causes.
The amount of coal mined COM
pared with that mined during 1913
showed a decrease of 1867 sic tons.
The total production was S,201, ,423
tons. Among the causes ascribed for
the decrease are the European war,
the Mexican war. the coal strike and
the exceedingly mild fall and winter.
Four mines were closed because OF
unsafe and unsanitary conditions. In
prosecutions for violations of the law
five miners were found guilty and five
operators. There were 53S non-fatai
accidents reported to the department.
The tons of coal produced per fatal
accident increased from S4,263 in 1918
to 109.352 in 1914.
Generally speaking" Mr.. Dalrymple
says, the conditions of the mines
have very much improved This is es-
pecially true of Boulder and Weld
counties, where great improvements
have been made, especially from a
sanitary standpoint"
Routt county showed the largest in.
crease of production-323,312 tons
producing altogether 655,S7S tons.

Health and Excitement.

The sick rate in Russia has de-
creased since the war began. Part Of
the improvement-dou the great

frame reacts to excitement and de-
velops resistance to disease under the

Five Thousand Men Quit Work al
Standard Oil Plant.


New York, July 20.-Serious rioting
occurred at the Constable Hook plant
of the Standard Oil Company at
Bayonne N. j., when several hundred
of the 5000 striking employees clashed
with more than 200 special officers
and policemen who were doing guard
duty. Steamers and barges that were
being loaded in Kill Won Kull with
case oil, destined, it is said, for Eng
land were towed into the upper bay
and anchored near the statue of Lib

main in the bay If the strike con-
tinued.
The strikers were augmented by
200 employees of the Bergenport Chem.

London, July 21.-From the shores
of the Gulf of Riga in the north to
that part of southern Poland back
into which they drove the Russians
from Galicia the AustroGerman arm
les are still surging forward and If
Warsaw can be denied them it will be
almost miracle.
This seems to be the consensus OF
opinion even among those in England
who heretofore have been hopeful that
the Russians would turn and deliver
a counter blow, and news of the evac-
uation of the Polish capital. followed
by the triumphal entry of the Ger
mans amid such scenes as were en-
acted at Przemysl and Lemberg would
come as no surprise.
The German official statement. be-
ginning its recital at the northern tip
of the eastern battle line, records the
progress of the German troops to
within about fifty miles of Riga; then
following the great battle arc south
ward, chronicles further successes in
the sector northeast of Warsaw, cui-
minating in the capture of Ostrolenka
-one of the fortresses designed to
shield the capital.
The actual peril to Warsaw Is ac-
centuated by the Russian official COM
munication, which says that German
columns are within artillery range of
the fortress OF Nowo Gorgievsk, the
KEY to the capital from the north
west and only about twenty miles
from it.
Immediately southwest OF the city
and less than twenty miles from II,
Blonie has fallen; and. further south,
Grojeo. while German cavalry are
astride the important railway, from
Radon to Ivangorod.
Through Copenhagen also comes
report of the occupation of Windau by
the Germans.
Vienna reports that Radon. capital
of the province of Random, which lies
fifty-seyen miles south OF Warsaw, was
captured by the Teutonic allies.
Petrograd admits a general retro
grade movement Even on the old
Bzura -Rawa line, which SO long with

are falling back.
Fifty-nine Turkish Vessels Destroyed
According to dispatch from Petro
grad to Reuters Telegraph agency. a
fleet of fifty-nine Turkish sailing yes
sells, laden with war materials for the
Turkish army of the Caucasus, has
been destroyed by Russian. torpedo

Dispatches to the Tribune say that
large gains have been made by the
Italians since July 16.
The Austrians have recaptured two

PRESIDENT TO JUDGE
PASSPORT CHARGES

WASHINGTON, d. c., March
1.-The president will pass per-
sonally on the allegations that
officials of the German embassy
have violated the diplomatic eth
les of neutrality by trying to OBJ
tain by fraud American passports
for use by German spies in Eng
land. This has been decided on
by high officials of the admins
tration.
1t is denied that there is any
intention to make issue with
Germany out of the charges re-
sulting from the arrest in New
York of Richard Stegler. He
confessed the passports frauds
and asserted that Capt. Boy-Ed,
German naval attache, employed
him as a spy.
RI 1t is shown that any German
diplomatic officials abused the
hospitality of the United States.
these facts will be presented TO
the German government. which
will decide itself what It wants
to do in the matter. The German
embassy characterizes as black
mail" the charges that its offic
