use and caro- of mine rescue appara-
tus to nearly 600 miners In per
forming this service the Car has
travelled total Of nearly 10000
miles in the states Of Arizona, Colo
RADIO, New Mexico and Texas, and
has done work in over fifty mining
camps. In addition the Car has been
present at mine disasters at which
over 300 men were killed and at
these disasters the Car crew has
assisted in the rescue alive OF over
thirty men who had been thought
to be dead; and also assisted in the
recovery of a large portion of the
bodies. Besides assisting at these
disasters the crew has been present
at several serious mine fires in both
coal and metal mines, in which con-
siderable property loss was emil
nent and in each case the crew was
able to render considerable service
in assisting with sealing and controll-
ing of these fires. OF the practic-
ally $500 men trained by this Car
and it's crew during the two years
over 1000 were trained in the state
of Colorado and at least one-half
of the time was spent in the coal
and metal mining camps of this
state.
The state wide first-aid meet, to
be held at Trinidad, Colorado, on
August 30, is open to competing

and information relative to the meet
can be obtained by writing to Bureau
of Mines Car 2, Ration, New Mex

any mining or metallurgical plants,
the Bureau of Mines is prepared to
furnish an instructor, upon applica-
ton to either Ration, New Mexico, or

BANKERS AND
 TEXTILE MEN
By HOLLAND

New York, June 3.-(Special.) )-Probably the coincidence was accidental that an- ncuncement should have been made that two of the largest banking institutions of New York have united for the purpose of ir cooperating textile banking company, on the day when reports were received in this city of the meeting of the Amer ican Cotton Manufacturers association at Atlantic City. It may be that the cotton manufacturers, many of whom are from the south. will have no need to utilize the facilities which this new textile bank ing company expects to offer. Neverthe- less the probability is strong that a pow erful financial institution will in the course of time find much business com
 ing to it from the textile manufactur- CTS of the south.
 This is step further in the direction of the elimination of factors or commits sion houses For many years concerns of this kind have served chiefly as med iums for financing the fundamental re- quirements of mills and also in the distri- button to consumers of the products of the mills. In other times some of the commission houses made a great deal of money. Some of them were the exclusive agents for large textile industrial com panies, especially in New England and upper New York state. They served as bankers for the manufa cturers, frequently making large advances upon the goods sent to them for sale, receiving interest on the advances as well as excellent com mission upon the sales of the textiles.
 Fifteen or 20 years ago it was observed that some of-the factors and commis- sion houses were retiring from business ar,1 tunities had arisen which in the course of time would seriously cut into their business. Now the Guarantee Trust com pany, which is the largest institution of it's kind in the world, and the Liberty National bank have united in the or ganization of a banking company whose exclusive business will be the financing of the needs of the textile manufactur- CTS, the furnishing of aid in purchasing raw material, and this will be of much

There are two ways to make a telephone call and to carry on telephone conversation.
 The zVrOng way Is to humble the num- Der to the operator, to be inattentive to her repetition, and then, when you get the con- nection, to talk at your telephone without regard to its distance from your lips.
 The right way is to give the number to the operator clearly and distinctly, to lis ten for her repetition of the number and 1c- knOz0ledge it, and then to talk directly into the telephone. with your lips close to the transmitter, giving your whole attention to the telephone conversation.
 The rigtt way will help you to geteven quicker and more accurate connections and will make your telephone conversations more efficient.
