Two mules, drawing an army service

caliber which is jeopardizing the
lives of the American miner.
The intelligent American miner
has been making much progress in
safety, and if we had to deal with
him alone the death rates would
soon be down to a par with the
natural hazards Of the industry,
and it would not be pointed out
that this country has the highest
fatality rates of any civilized
country in the world. For the pro-
lection of the English-speaking
miners, WI should educate these
ignorant, illiterate men or keep
them out of the mines. They
should be given the opportunity of
keeping pace with American prog
ress and a chance to become good
American citizens, or they should
be kept away from places where
they endanger the lives Of men
who are good, intelligent citizens.
with the mining industry in
creasing in extent about 10 per
cent a year, the leaders believe
that we need all the men we can
get. If that is true, let us give
the miners from the English-speak-
ing races, who do understand the
difficulties and dangers, a little
more than a $3.50 chance for
their lives.
There are two points in this
appeal to me First, it is u duty
as citizens to make better citizens
out of these notwithstanding
foreigners and save them from the
dangers we know so well, and sec
ond, it is our greatest duty to fur
nish our own English-speaking
miners with the protection they
are entitled to against the ire
sponsible and ignorant type of
miner who does not understand
the dangers and apparently cares
so little about them. The mad dog
that is running amuck in the min
ing industry today is the foreign
born from non-English-speaking
races who does not know the Eng
lish language and who in a ma
jority of instances is so ignorant
that he doesn't know how to read
or write even his own language

Safety Nets.

The safety department of the indus
trial accident commission of the state
Of California, believing that a man
doing useful work at a height of sew
eral hundred feet needs as much pro-
lection as a trapeze performer In a
circus, has been responsible for the
Introduction of safety nets in building
construction in San Francisco. The
safety nets are similar in character
to those used by circus performers, as
well as by fire departments in the larg-
err cities in rescuing persons jumping
from high MISUNDERSTANDING Amer

WASHINGTON, D. c., March e.
Van H. Manning, director of the
bureau of mines. department of
the interior, has informed congress
that the education Of the non-Eng-
lish- speaking foreign-born among
the miners by the so-called Ameri-
canization bill should result in
the saving from death each year
of nearly 1000 of these men and
the saving from injury of about
10000. Teaching these men how
to read and write the English Ian
guage would permit them to read
the ordinary precautionary signs in
the most dangerous mines and en-
able the men to understand the
suggestions for safety given by the
bosses, according to Mr.. Manning
Mr. Manning blames the present
high death and injury rate in the
mines to the presence of these for
eigners from the non-English-
speaking races, a majority OF
whom are not even able to read or
write their own languages. He
finds that the death and injury
rates among these men are twice
as high as among the English
speaking miners and that their
rrocapoo IN tho p,ipoc 10 rpsnOUQi-
BILE for a higher accident rate than
would ordinarily exist among the
English-speaking miners, making
these men a to all of the
miners. The statistics show that
there are more than 100000 for
e%ign-born men employed in the
mines and that IS per cent Of
these, or 100000, are from the
notwithstanding races, nearly
all of them from countries where
there is no mining.
J These are the men the bureau
of mines is unable to reach with
it's ~life-saving recommendations,
for they can not understand. We
have tried to reach them in their
native tongues, but this seems to
be hopeless, too, for we find that
but few of them can read eve
their own languages. What I OBJ

HELEN'S PROMISE
BY MISS DOMINICA TRACY.

s~yndicate)
Helen Crawford, brown eyes spark
ling, yellow curls bobbing, tripped
along the little winding path which led
from the old farmhouse to the open
fields where she had been gathering
blueberries to bring home for break
fast.
Helen made a pretty picture as she
walked along the sun-flecked lane this
early summer morning in her crisp
Bingham frock with the basketful Of
luscious berries swinging carelessly on
her arm. Her mind dwelt pleasantly
on the festivities to take place that
afternoon at the largest house Of the
village.
The R~awsdons, but recent inhabit-
ants Of the little town Of Banfield.
were to give a lawn party in honor OF
their nephew, Philip, who was shortly
to leave for the front, and who, be
ing a stranger to the young people OF
the town, was therefore awaited with
keen interest by them.
Absorbed by her own thoughts
Helen did not hear the clatter Of an APP
preaching horse, until, rounding a
curve in the road, she found herself
directly in its path and had but scarce
time to step quickly to n side. but
alas and alack in her excitement Helen
dropped the precious basket and the
ripe berries rolled out directly beneath
the horses hoofs. Helen gave q little
cry of dismay, the rider drew rein,
and Helen glancing up was surprised
to meet the merry eyes of q handsome
young officer. Saluting her politely,
he said: II cannot tell you how sorry
! am for having caused you to upset
your basket. / did not expect to meet
anyone so early and so l was riding
carelessly in the middle of the road,
instead of keeping to one side." Helen
smiled brightly and pointed out that
fortunately some of the berries We're
still in the basket, and picking 1t up
she nodded smiling and walked on.
A sudden thought struck the young
officer and turning around he called
after her: Il hope we shall meet ut the
lawn fete my aunt is giving this after
noon, as / understand all the
young people of Banfield and their eld-
ers are to be present." Eyes, indeed, l
shall be there" she answered, "and l
shall doubtless see you, as l have been
chosen to help serve the refreshments
At three o'clock, Helen looking pref
tier than ever In her pink dress and
dropping leghOrn hat, was busy serv-
ing ice cream to some unusually spick-
and-span little boys. when her soldier
acquaintance Of the morning Joined
the group, and persuaded Helen to
help him eat some strawberry Ice
cream and cake, which a Jealous young
waitress had presseA him to accept,
and which ne declared was altogether
too much to be eaten by a single hui
man being.
Seated at a little table Philip told
her that he was to return to his home
in New York the next day, to spend
the last few days with his parents be-
fore sailing. He asked her permission
to write, and when Helen consented
he said "As soon as / am able l will
send you my address from Over
There but will you promise to writer"
Helen, suddenly grown shy, blushed,
as she answered: II PROMISE" n in
the bashful brown eyes Philip thought
he read more than the promise of a
letter.

SCHOOL GARDENS PAY WELL
Hnart From Value of Food Produced,
Young People Get Interested
in the Work.

Every city in the United States
should continue school-garden WORK
during the coming season, for the
need of food is as great as 1t was
in 1918, when the value of the proc
ucts grown by American school puplls
was nearly S1S,OOO,O00. The plan fol-
lowed in New York city has the al
vantage of a years trial under working
conditions. and generally speaking may
he taken as a model by school boards
wherever sufficient land is available
for gardens.
The New York board of education
allotted to each pupil space 70 by oo
feet, and placed 80 boys on each acre.
A record of the crops was kept, each
how was required to work at least once
week and to do whatever was neces-
sary on his plat; the board looked
after the blowing and fertilization ana
furnished the seeds, and teachers gave
instructions on gardening to the chill
dren while engaged in cultivating the
soil. The crops, of course, were turn
ed over to the young farmers.
The value of the increased food sup
NV thus obtained is great, but the eX-
perience gained by the pupils Is worth
more than the price of the vegetables
