New Safety Instruments
ADOPTED by Mine Bureau

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. 49,
The West Virginia Bureau of Mines
which is credited by experts with the
best equipment in the country for
rescuing entombed miners has just
added to its outfit for that work three
new pieces of apparatus-a geophone,
carbon monoXide detector and a
brass encased thermometer.
The geophone Is similar to a physic-
ian's stethoscope. AS the stethoscope
is used to detect irregularities in the
human body by sound, so the geophone
is used to detect earth sounds. IN
this way entombed miners can be
located noting the direction from
which the sound vibrations come.
The brass-encased thermometer re-
cords maximum and minimum temper
atures whereby it can be ascertained
when it is safe to enter mines sealed
to smother fires. Hitherto, it has been
a problem to know when to enter the
shafts, but with the thermometer
dropped through a hole in the barri
cade, this can be determined easily.
The carbon monoXide detector Is
considered the most importance piece
of apparatus from the point of protect
ing the lives of rescuers. The gas is
detected by color tube and a color
scale on the instrument. Formerly
canary birds were used, but their use
was not entirely satisfactory, as the
birds often succumbed to other gases
while a color detector instrument
shows no other gas than carbon mon

tuberculosis in Greece
Unchecked bv Government
(By Associated Press

ATHENS. Oct. 1S.-Tuberculosis is
more prevalent in Greece than in
anv other European country for which
reliable figures are available, with the
possible exception of Serbia. There is
no governmental or private program
for the control of the disease. The
number of physicians in proportion
to the population is one to every 1900
In the city of Athens the death-rate,
from tuberculosis of the lungs is 294
per 100000 of population, which is
about twice as high as the rate in the
United States. The other forms of
the disease also are present, making
the total tuberculosis deathrate 3G3
per 100000 of population. One death
in every six is due to tuberculosis.
Agencies Are Inadequate.
To deal with the disease, the eY-
listing agencies are very inadequate.
There is little or no hospital provision
for the care of the bulk of the polu-
lation of 100000. There are less
than a score of general hospitals in
the country.
There is also an alarming preva-
lence of typhoid fever, which at times
rises to the proportion of an epidemic
Even in the larger cities such as Atn-
ems, the typhoid death-rate is strik
ingly high In the last three-yeaT
period for which statistics are avail
able the death rate was 50 per 100000
of population, about five times as high
as the rate in the United States.
Poor Water Supply.
The prevalence OF this disease is
due largely to the absence of sewers
and of adequate and safe water supply.
No improvements in the water supply
or sewerage systems have been made
since 1908. The rudimentary sew
erage system, where any exists, af-
tords little or no protection against
surface or underground contamination
of water supply, and no safeguard
against conveyance of infection.
In Athens, plans have been drawn
by the national government to provide

to the Associated Press correspondent,

"In receiving my orders ! was told

Careful examinations of these

Medium OF Exchange as Paper
Crowns Lose Value.
Peasant Demands Something More
Valuable Than Paper Currency
for His Products.

Vienna.-Only Americans of a gen
GRAFTON ago who traded farm products
at the crossroads store for everything
from shoes to sugar can realize the
extent Of barter in Austria today.
With the country flooded with chear
money, the peasants stockings and
bank accounts fat with CURRENCY and
legislation impending for compul-
sorry levy on fortunes, the paper crown
virtually Is spurned by those who pro
duce the necessities Of life.
For eggs or butter, cheese or white
-four, fat geese and ducks, pork prod
ucts and all the things that the Aus
trian city dweller must do without,
the peasant wants something more
valuable than the paper constantly
turned out by the Austro- Hungarian
banks
Prodigious offers of crowns fail
where a linen shirt, silk stockings
(even much darned), rugs, musical In
struments, shoes and such things bring
results.
The story Of how the bourgeoisie and
poor nobility of Vienna have part
ed with their wardrobes and furniture,
their pianos and carpets, for food has
been often told. Now everyone is
getting back to first principles in
trade.
Visiting a retired officer in his lit
tie country place the correspondent
saw 1t work. The officer could not
pay 800 crowns a pair for gloves for
a wife and three daughters. But he
had three roebuck hides from the ami
mails he had shot this season. He
exchanged them for two dressed hides.
The village glover made them into
gloves, taking In payment cider, NUT
ton and some veal from the little
farm.
Then came the problem of stock

was usually necessary to intrust the
care Of its ships to established agen-
cies. Many of these steamship agents
had already for years been representa-
tives Of foreign and possibly compel
ing lines. The result has been that In
many cases American vessels have
been held back, while other ships were
given the preference causing the ex-
penses Of American ships to mount up
through port charges and lost time.
''In all River Plate ports losses from
this source have been very great, as
we'll as those through overcharges for
supplies repairs and so forth There
is one case on record where an Amer
lean ship was held up for months for
repairs and charges totaling 100000
were piled up against her. But we
are seeing to 1t now that shipping
board vessels get into port and get
away again without unnecessary de-
lay. The saving to the shipping board
from this attention undoubtedly will
be several hundred thousand dollars
