Mine inspectors and members of the
Industrial commissions of the various
states and territories in attendance on
the national safety first" exposition,
open each day this week at the New
National Museum, are today again dis
cussing steps toward obtaining uni
form system of mining laws for all
states.
These laws vary considerably, to the
detriment of both mine owners and
mine workers. points out Van H. Man
ming, director of the bureau of mines
of the Department of the Interior.
Mine workers are often migratory. and
include in their ranks surprising
number of nationalities. If the code
of mining laws learned by the miner
in the state in which he first goes to
work could be made to obtain in all
portions of the country in which he
hereinafter might find employment, it
would prove an advantage not only TO
himself but to the safety first" move
ment generally.
Things That May Cause Disaster.
Samples of defective parts which
el~HtE uiu cause VI easily AosS
caused railroad disasters of greater or
lesser degree are a feature of the ex-
hibit of the division of locomotive in
spection of the interstate commerce
commission. These include defective
high-pressure piping, defective crown
sheet bracing and defective boiler
plates. The exhibit also includes a
display of shields and guides devoted
to the minimizing of accidents, inter
esting to expert and layman alike The
sight of many an eye, point out those
so simple device as woven wire
casing for water-glass tube One of
these exploding in the limited space Of
a locomotive cab nearly always works
more or less injury to the enginemen.
Another striking instance of the value
of the work of this branch of the COM
mission is prominently brought out in a
series of charts showing the recent de-
crease in boiler accidents due to federal
supervision. By this means the number
of such accidents in 1915 was reduced
from the number in 1912 by sos per cent
the number of persons injured thereby
BY 3d. per cent, and the number of per-
sons killed by S5.T per cent. Further
more, with the decrease in accidents
there has been an accompanying I'M
provement in the boilers themselves, SO
that federal supervision works to two
good ends. In 1912, for instance. sc per
cent of all boilers inspected were found
defective; in 1915 only "A per cent. In
1912 per cent of those inspected were
ordered completely out of service; in
1912 but 2-15 per cent were ordered dis
carded.

The Value Of a Younester In the
Farm Home

One Of our neighbors, after vainly
trying to get competent help on his
farm, exclaimed in despair: We'll l
guess I'll have to try children's
home and get good, strong boy for
the farm. 1t seems to be the last
resort
The man in the little group to
whom he addressed his remarks
shook his head gloomily and allowed
that that plan would fail also. He
had seen it tried many times and 1t
mad always failed.
And then the minds of some of
the listeners ran quickly backward
to the people who had adopted good,
strong boys for the farm in days
gone by. We remembered some fail.
ures and some successes, but a GER
tain dissatisfaction, with the expert.
ment seemed almost universal.
l wonder why it is that the adopt
ed child always has to be and dc
something wonderful before people
are satisfied that he is a success.
Not long ago man who has plac
ed almost 500 dependent children In
homes said to me that when a farm
or goes to him seeking boy he al
ways questions the farmer pretty
sharply as to his motive. When the
man begins to talk about the scare
ity of farm labor and how much 6
good boy can do, dwelling particular
ly on the fact that he can save {

usually discourages the applicant
