Is being sent 20 practically all of the
mines in the United States. The
bureau of mines has aided in rescue

with much valuable time wasted be-
fore Il proper rescue organization
could be effected There has also been
II serious absence of the equipment
necessary for the recovery of the men
Cntomhed, Lack of such prepared
ness, the bureau says, no doubt has
often resulted in an Unnecessary loss
of life among the imprisoned men and
also among the rescue force.
Sine the bureau began its rescue
work II has euGeaVorcd to guide in
the formation OF competent rescue OF

been greatly hampcrCd because OF the

it's experience nj many mine disasters,
the bureau has now formulated code
which it is felt should be In the hanue
of every responsible official at a ullnC.
This code provides for an organization
AT each mine that would become auto
maucallv active the moment there is
a disaster. |, also gives a list of the

This manual is intended to define
the duties of the rescucrs and to brix;
about a better understanding bCtwe& n
the men engaged in rescue work as to

Crs of the bureau wearing heavy oxv-

lccn somc ht,c disappointment at the
refusal OF the rcscUcrs to take part in
this work. II has been my policy that
the roscuers should seek TO save live
men and give chem assistance and
should not ho called upon except in
special emergencies TO carry bodies

ATHOL, Kan, March 24.-Ths
high cost OF living has driven the
young men and old bachelors OF
this city to the extremity OF organ
king q club against scheming, mer-
cenary feminipity.
The bylaws strictly forbid any
member from keeping company
with . young lady or treating any
Of them to bonbons. pop. ginger ale.
near-beer. ice cream. or being seen
IN company with any Of them on jov
rides Or at dances.
Such drastic action was deemed
necessary by the elisibles when
they discovered their savings bank
account was overdrawn almost the
year around. and the demands OF
their .ssteadies" constantly growing
for more expensive and better en-
tertainment. For the violation Of
the bylaws. . member win be fined
$40. ana second oRense will
mean prompt expulsion.
The young ladies have already
shown strong resentment. ant
threaten to give q series Of lavish
entertainments at which only the
young men from adjoining towns
win b. their guests, and due care
win be taken to impress them with
the economical and thrifty virtues
