 Experiments have shown, too, that the depth Of the coal pile has much to do with the danger. A 1O-foot pile is probably safe for most grades of bituminous coal.
 Wet coal also is more liable to spontaneous combustion than dry, unless totally submerged in water.
 In case of spontaneous combus- ton the best thing to do is to dig out he fire, and burn the smolder- ing coal, Or carry 1t to a safe place. Don't flood with water, as the coal over the fire may coke forming a shield that protects it against water.

NEWSPAPERS REQUESTED ID
 OPPOSE FEAR

Des Moines, la, Nov. Is. - A course in common sense and the basi ideas Of Christian Science ,and an editorial policy for newspapers di- rected against fear, was urged at meeting here recently of a com mittee of business and professional men which have virtually been in charge of the city during the so- called Spanish influenza epidemic. Dr. W. C. Witte, city sanitarian, IS chairman of the committee. The membership includes James R. Hanna, former Mayor; z. C. Thorn burg, superintendent of schools; c. IL. Herring of the Greater Des Moines Committee; Maj shall Miller President of the Trades and Labor Assembly; Ralph FaNon, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce; Chas. Saverude, druggist, and Drs. Gran vile Ryan, R. L. Parker, and Thoma F. Duhigg.
 The city has been under rigid quarantine for minimum period or two weeks, all schools, colleges churches, theaters and amusement places having been closed to prevent further spread of the alleged epi- demic.
 The fact that soldiers and of ficers at Camp Dodge who are Christian Scientists have not been affected by the epidemic, was called to the committees attention at the meeting by Dr. Miller.
 "There is no question: said Dr. Witte, "that by a right attitude of mind these people have kept them selves from illness. l have no doup that many persons have contracted the disease through fear.
 People can deceive themselves into thinking they have any disease on the calendar, and doubtless many of thCm have thought themselves into their graves"
 A recommendation that news papers prepared editorials citing the immunity which Christian Scientists enjoy from influenza, and urging the use of common sense and a ca m
 tituGe of mind in conquering fear of infection, was made by H. w. Byers, corporation counsel for the city. The recommendation was in dorsed by the committee as whole, and ncwspapers were asked to quote the committee to that effect
 Entirely too much publicity has been given to supposed symptoms of the so-caned Spanish influenza" was Mir. Byers' further comment" "and 1 would recommend that if anything be printed in regard to the disease it be confined to simple pre- lentive measures-SOmething con structvie rather than destructive"
 Fear is the firts thing to be overcome, the first step in conquer ing this epidemic" said pr. Witte. q am not a Christian Scientist, but believe an application of their princi. les will materially aid in pre- serving the health of this commun- ity. They did not originate with the Scientists, but are to be found by anyone who will take the trouble to read his Bible.
 "In my work in infected communi' ties, have always found. Scientists the first to respond to the slightest suggestion of unsanitary conditions, and the first to comply with funda- mental health measures.

offers many opportunities for early
promotion 10 those who are properly
equipped with knowledge, experience
and ability. 1t is believed that a
large number of registered men, sub
ject to the second and future calls
of the draft. Will be interested In
this branch of service because of the
very nature of the duties Of the signal
corps and The many opportunities for
promotion within TIE ranks.
What Course Includes.
1t is suggested that in many places
where registered men are employed
throughout the day, night classes be
organized so as not to interfere with
their regular jobs. The organization
of such classes should be easily &C
complished when the nature of the
work in the signal corps is under
stood and the opportunities for adj
yancement are made known.
The training acquired in the signal
corps embraces not only telegraphy,
but wireless, telephony, and electrical
engineering, thereby giving men in
this service thorough and practical
knowledge. In these preliminary
classes, it is requested that the In
ternational Morse code be taught. and
that particular stress be brought to
bear upon equip1ing the pupils with
knowledge and practice in the send
ing and receiving of commercial mat
tiers over the telegraph in this code.
Paralleling this work and as rest
creating period. it Is suggested that
the fundamentals OF telegraph and
magnetic telephone circuits be taught.
1t is very probable that the second
draft call will come very soon. 1t Is
therefore important that this work
be started Immediately and worked
conscientiously and consistently In
order that the greatest number po1-
sible may be qualified as telegraph
ers when called to cantonment campo.
