ELECTRICITY CAUSE
OF NUMEROUS
k'!!NE ACCIDENTS
Ihn,
a Y

In his am al report submitted 10
the secretary Of the interior, DIR. Jo-
seph A. Holmes reviews the invcsti-
to safeguard the miners from elec-
trical accidents. Director Holmes
makes the declaration that not only
have many men been killed or in
jured from what are believed to be
unnecessary electrical accidents, hut
indirectly electrical apparatus has
been responsible for mine explosions
and mine fires that have extensively
destroyed both life and property.
He further says that. through the
activity of the bureau in calling at
tcntion to dangers heretofore unap-
preCiated in the use of electrical ma
.chmery. manufacturers have devised
safer types of apparatus and states
have enacted stricter laws governing
electrical installations.
Much attention has been paid to
I the proper construction and use of
electric and other safety lamps. Tests
hayebecn made to ascertain the COM
parative merits of different types of
safety lamps, including their useful
ness in furnishing light to miners
their relative safety. and their value
in indicating the presence of eXpio-
sive gas. The well defined principles
that govern the mechanical construc-
ton of modern safety lamp have
! been largcl" exploited in this coun-
try by European manufacturers and
covered by patents in this country
I During he present year some of these
I patents make expired and in conSc-
Quence American lamp manufactur-
erS and lamp agencies have been in
spired to develop new models. AL
ready an improved safety lamp of
American manufacture has appeared
and samples of others have been re-
cciyed by the bureau of eXamina-
. tion and criticism. The bureau has
studied all types of safety lamps on
the market and as result has pre-
pared schedule OF official tests to
be used in establishing list Of
permissible safety lamps for use in
gaseous mines.
At the beginning of the year the
bureaus requirements for testing
explosion proof motors had been pre-.
pared and published. The work was
necessary because no successful en-
plosion-proof motors had been de-
veloped in the United States. During
the year only one motor was submit
ted for test, but this machine passed
the tests successfully. 1t is believed
that the bureaus approval will slim
ulate other manufacturers to renewed
activity in producing such motors

CHANNEL NOT HURT BY STORM

Gulfport, Miss, Oct. 11.-Captain
Thompson, of the steamer Dorothy,
has just completed soundings of the
channel leading from deep water to
the anchorage basin and finds that in
no way did the tremendous onrush Of
water during the hurricane fill or in
jure the channel. Twenty-four to
twenty-five feet of water was found in
the channel. The wind took from their
fastenings three of the big beacon
towers, wrestling them from their iron
columns. The storm of Wednesday
is the only one in the history of the
port where these beacons were dam
aged.
The big ship Dollhouse which was
reported in trouble at Chandelur Is
lands last week has been brought into
port and is now about ready to put to
sea. She lost a windlass that re-
pairs cost $4,000.

That Mrs. Gait can win the hearts
of the American people was indicated
time and time again during the trip.
Leaving New York the presidential
party was accorded a great farewell.
At Philadelphia they got great well
come, thousands of people jamming
the depot and thronging the streets to
cheer the happy couple.
Both Mrs. Gait and her President
proved good fans. When Cravath
raped out the double that started the
Philadelphia rally early in the game,
they Joined in applause. Later when
Cravath came up to bat again in the
seventh and the crowd rose to cheer
him, the President and his fiancee
stood up with the rest.
Great crowds gathered outside the
park and cheered the President and
his party when they left the field. AS
his machine pulled away the President
stood up in it waving his hat, bowing
and smiling.
Again at the railroad station the
corridors were jammed with people
who wished to see his companion, and
again cheers rang about them.
Before the Presidents train pulled
out of the station the President shook
hands with a number of friends who
had come down to see him off and
thanked the police officers who attend
ed him.
AS the special pulled away the Pres
ident and his future wife went out
upon the rear platform and waved a
CHEEKY farewell to the crowds. In one
hand he held the baseball which he
had thrown out upon the diamond to
start the game. This had been pre-
sented to him at the conclusion of the
game by Manager Moran OF the Phil
lies.
The President gave 1t to Mrs. Gait
as little souvenir of the auspicious
occasion.
The party, tired after the days fes-
tivities were served tea in the Presi-
dents private car by Mrs. Gait.

Jackson. Miss, Oct. 1.-THE mayor
Of Mississippi's capital city is dead
against" the program for national pre-
paredness. as advocated by the Ma
tionai Security League. He made this
plain in letter that he has sent to s,
Stanwood Menkin. of New York, pres
ident Of the league. in reply to tel
egram from Mr.. Menkin asking him
to follow the example of the mayor OF
New York and appoint committee to
urge preparedness upon congress.
The telegram from President Men.
kin reads as follows:
"Following the suggestion of the
National Security League, Mayor Nit
chel win appoint committee of cit.
liens to urge preparedness. VIII you
do likewise? Although the leagues
campaign indicates strong support
tor Preparedness measures, the entire
country must now unite for proper
defense. SO congress will realize pre-.
paredness Is its first and most impor.
tant duty"
In his reply to the above message
Mayor Taylor not only declines to ap
point N committee as suggested, but
states his belief that the preparedness
movement was launched "to plunder
the public treasury" His reply fol
lows:
'fYour telegram OF the seventh in

gressmen from Mississippi will vote

Climbing Rose.
I In the latitude of Philadelphia and
farther south climbing roses usually
need no protection during the winter
unless they are a particularly tender
variety. Farther north these roses
need protection similar to that given
to the tea and hybrid tea roses.
Where it is possible to do so, re-
move climbing roses from their sup
ports. and cover the branches with
a little dirt. A little fall trimming
might be desirable to lessen the
space occupied by the branches on the
ground Such side branches as are
not to be needed for next seasons
blooming may be cut off. Such cut
ting or and shortening of the ends
as would otherwise be done in the
spring, may be done in the fall before
covering, merely for convenience.
