The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1919-07-03

Six years ago our mining industry
employed about 100000 men who
worked underground and more than
100000 who labored in connection
with the various metallurgical and
mineral industries above ground. This
force has been greatly increased in the
interval, which gives us an idea of the
human side of the bureaus problem,
In the matter of mineral waste the ma
tional loss half decade back was es-
timated to amount to not less than
81. 100000 daily. Again we realize the
field open to the bureau in devising
ways and methods to reduce this APP
palling squandering of natural wealth.
AS has been said in dealing with the
question of discovering various agen-
cies by which this dissipation could
be arrested in large measure, the bu-
reau arrived at point where IT'S
made us far better able to
meet the immediate demands of an
armed conflict 1t had determined the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The news columns state that In
come tax sleuths are going to find
out from a lot of automobile owners
why they are not paying an income
tax. That news stirs one OF my
readers to write me letter,
which / believe will interest many
automobile owners Of small income.
Here's the letter:
Hundreds of Government en-
ployes, married and owning autos,
have an income of less than $1,000,
but near it. They own Fords and
other small cars purchased with saw
ings. Many Of these cars are kept
in the rear of owners homes and
are seldom if ever used during the
week. On Sunday afternoon the en-
tire family enjoy long ride into the
open country, or thru our parks, and
perhaps an all-day or two-day tour
on holidays. To do this these fam
lilies cut out theater-going, lobster
suppers, booze, stylish clothes, ex-
pensive shoes, so-called society
clubs and lodges.
Are not 60 per cent Of the cars
popular price cars run by good citi-
zens OF moderate or limited means
and married, who prefer an tuto to
the frivolities above named?
This is just a suggestion for an
editorial. H. c. G."

THE VALUE OF APPLAUSE

"Lots of people do not believe it
until you take them up into the gal
lery of the Metropolitan Opera House
but nevertheless it's fact that some
of the big stars pay actual honest to-
goodness money for applause. They
have regular hired claque that is
always on hand (and with strong
hands tool at every performance; the
claque starts the applause, and when
ever there are signs of it's letting up,
they give it a fresh start. The GUS
tom is well known in Europe and has
been in vogue for years and years,
but in America we know practically
nothing of it, excepting AT the Opera
houses on the occasions when some
of the celebrated singers are appear

tributed to Reginald Werrenrath, the
American baritone who makes his first
operate plunge this season at the
Metropolitan in New York. The
young singer, he is still in his early
thirties, is coming to The Colonial
for concert this month, and he has
earned wide reputation as an az
fist of very superior ability. 1t is on
the strength of his really great gifts
that the Metropolitan Company en-
gagged him for five chief baritone
roles.
Continuing along the subject of ap-
plause and it's value, Mr.. Werrenrath
talks good plain facts; he says among
other things: every honest singer
must admit that applause is just about
the sweetest music on earth. Don't

Congregationalists Will Raise $5,O0O,.
900

Fully 100 persons, including mem
bers of the Brotherhood of the First
Church, Burlington, attended the sup
per in the parish house of that church
and listened to an address by the Rev.
F. w. Hodgdon of Boston represent
ing the Pilgrim Memorial Fund.
This fund, as explained by the
speaker, is the sum of $5,000,000,
which the national council of OFT
unanimously voted to secure by De-
cember 20, 1920, the precautionary
date of the Congregational denomina-
ton. The fund is to be used to pro-
vide old age annuities for ministers
over IS years of age and for their
widows, benefits available in case of
total and permanent disability and
benefits protecting the minister's de-
pendents, against his untimely death.
1t is the plan to raise the fund by
subscription, as many other denomi-
nations are now raising funds for
various purposes. The $5,000,000
when raised, will be held intact, the
income only to be expended, the prin-
cipal being placed in care of the cor
poration of the national council.
Vermont's share of this fund is
$4,000. A commission of which
Frank H. Brooks of St. Johnsbury is
chairman, and Mr.. Hodgdon is execu-
tive secretary, has been working
throughout the state during the last
10 weeks in raising this amount.
Every county, including 210 churches
has been visited and splendid results
have been attained. Many churches
already have gone over the top in
subscribing their quotas. The Con-
