Plans Under Way
for Many Years.

many and other European countries the
latest types of oxygen tanks and
breathing apparatus. 1t has sent It's
demonstration cars all over the coun-
try, teaching miners how to rescue and
resuscitate their entombed comrades.
Above all. it has sought to esta blish an
orderly and effective method of pro-
cedure to be used at all disasters.
In the case of most mine explosions
the immediate result has been some
thing close to panic. Miners have
rushed in to the aid of their comrades
without proper preparation and have
often lost their own lives. Such case
occurred at Hannibal. Wyo.. not many
years ago. when an explosion occurred
Ill small mine where sixteen men
were at work. Forty others rushed to
their assistance and all of them we're
killed by second explosion. Their
bones are sealed up in the mine today.
All the teachings and efforts of the
United States bureau of mines have
been directed to overcome these pre-
clpitate methods and 10 go about the
work of rescue in an orderly and scien-
tific way. At the New River disaster
these methods were put into force al
most without hitch. 1t is probable
that every man was saved who possibly
could have been saved and it was con-
clusively demonstrated that courage,
combined with scientific methods. can
greatly reduce the mortality at mining
disasters.
In all of the disasters at which ex-
perts of the bureau of mines have been
present since the bureau was organized
only 100 men who had been entombed
were brought out alive. That forty
seven should have been so rescued in
single small disaster shows how eff
fective the methods OF the bureau have
become.

A tourist who visited Brussels at
the time of the Balkan war tells an
amusing story on himself. He admits
he had become somewhat nervous and
excitable as result of his experiences
before reaching Belgium, so was de-
lighted to find himself safe and sound
in Brussels, where he put up at a small
and quiet hotel. But on retiring he
failed to find the expected rest, for his
dreams were suddenly interrupted by a
loud controversy. and after threats In
vehement French he was Mortified to
hear the sound of firearms.

him some one was being murdered

smiling shrug: But, no. monsieur. 1t II

brother of the manager of the
popular Lyceum. The new play
house has been rebuilt and ar
ranged especially for a theatre
building. 1t has heen furnished
with new and expensive furni-
ture and seats and they have
purchased one of the very best
moving picture machines on the
market. 1t is so arranged that
you face the audience on enter
ing, so that ladies with new hats
or new gowns need not fear that
they will not be seen. A pit has
been constructed in front of the
curtain IN which the orchestra
will be stationed in order that
they will not obstruct the light
of the machine, which will be
operated from the rear of the
building. Every convenience to
be found in a modern play house
has been installed at the Unique.
May 20 has been selected as the
opening night. when all admis-
sions will be free. Six hundred

the cities throughout the land
and in the old settled districts
of the east in memory of our
dead heroes who fell in the
great civil war. While there
are no national cemeteries or
old soldiers graves to decorate
in this section of the country,
we can, nevertheless, observe
the day with appropriate exer-
cises.
