WHETHER COMMANDER ACTED
PART OF THE MAN
WAS QUESTION IN AWARDS
Daniels Denies That Policy
Followed in Awards of
Medals Had Hurt Navy.

Washington. Feb 3-Secretary
Daniels, appearing before the Senate
investigating committee today, took
direct and emphatic issue with Rear
Admiral Sims in the matter of naval
awards The Secretary went into de
tails. explaining the changes he had
made in conferinf decorations.
The two chief differences between
his views and those Of Sims were as
to the importance of service at sea as
..compared with service ashore and the
differences on the question as TO
whether the distinguished service
medal should be awarded under any
circumstances to Il commander of a
ship sunk or seriously damaged by
enemy submarines or mines.
He pointed out that during the last
25 years Admiral Sims has served
, about sixteen years on shore duty
In cases of awards to men who lost
their ships the question was whether
the commander played the part of a
man. with chivalry, and with the
though only of others and his country
Referring to Admiral Sims state
ment thtat he had not recommended
enlisted men for medals because. we
had nothing to give them Secretary
Daniels called the committees .Gtten-
tion to the act creating the awards
which he said made no distinction, as
between an admiral. captain ana as
enlisted man. With that in mind he
said he had ordered further study
of the navy records when he found n
" a hundred and nineteen enlisted
men out of five hundred thousand III
the Navy during the war had been
recommended for any high honor.
Emphatic denial was made by See
retarv Daniels of Admiral Sims state
ment that the policy followed in award
ing medals had "shot to pieces the
Navy's morale.
Secretary Daniels said he had no
criticism to make Of the Knight
Board Of Awards.

of conspiracy and fraud for which a
hundred and twenty three men are on
trial.
Murin explained the defenSe'S view

is the essence of the charges.
NIurfin pointed out that American
ism and patriotic excitement was al
its crest and that there were rumors
that Henry Ford would be candidate
that rightly or wrongly there was a
general feeling in the state that Ford
did not represent the type of Amerl-
can who should represent the state at
that time; that Newberry entered the
campaign with the utmost reluctance
and only after repeated urging.

About 100000 Tons Of
Anthracite Coal Are Mined
Every Year by Wet Process

The rivers of Pennsylvania yield
about 250,00O tons of coal every year.
About 100000 tons Of anthracite
coal are mined every year by the ''wet
process" in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Car
bon, Schuylllill and Northumberland
counties. The process requires the use
of vast quantities of water, which
when it is discharged carries in sus-
pension millions of tons Of culm or
coal dust fine enough to pass through
the smallest screen in a dry process
breaker Much of the culm finds its
way into the rivers of the anthracite
district, the Lackawanna, the Susque-
hanna, the Schuylkill and the Lehigh.
They carry culm waste for many
miles downstream, to drop it at last
in shadows and eddies behind dams
and on valley bottoms. Much Of the
coal thus scattered is recovered by
dredging with suction dredges or with
the more familiar bucket type Of
dredge. The machinery, which is usu-
ally mounted on a stern-wheel. flat
bottom boat, dumps the coal into scOws
that carry IL to IA tons. The recOv-
cred river coal brings from 70 to 80
cents at the wharf.

Hello" Purely American
Expression, but Originated
With French Wolf Hunters

You should try to learn the old wolf
hunters call, because you know the
wolf Is scout, and that should be the
scout call. writes Dan Beard In Boys
Life.
This call was used in France first
and afterwards in England. but there
are no wolves in England now and the
bugle call has been forgotten in both
countries, therefore we paint 1t green
and call it our own" Even though
william Tell and Robin Hood bugled
the same calls before America was dis
covered, we can make 1t American the
same as we have made the old French
wolf hunters cry American. French
was spoken in English court circles, so
the titled wolf hunters used the French
cry "hab lie loup" or "a lou loup. loup,"
being pronounced loo, the cry being
la loo; the English put on the II and
made 1t halloo, and we made 1t hello.
which is an American expression. as
all the telephone girls know.
So the old wolf hunters bugle calls
which came here with the Huguenots
will also be American when blown
through wooden fat-boatmen's trum-
pets.

Vast Quantities Of Coal
Remain in the Mines in
an UnminabIe Condition

Mining Is still conducted with seri-
GUS loss of life and a waste of material
amounting to $1.OOO,OOO day. A gov
ernment estimate shows that Of 6,O0O.-
100000 tons of coal mined in one year
(1914-1915). 100000 was left under
ground in unminable condition, says
Boys Life. 1t is believed that more
than one-half of this loss is preventa-
BILE; $50,000,OO0 worth Of petroleum is
wasted annually and $75.O0O,OOO In cox
Ing coal. In 1914, 2.454 persons were
killed In coal mines.
To study and remedy such conditions
the government established in 1910 a
bureau Of mines with headquarters at
Washington, an experiment station ut
Pittsburgh, and an office for the study
Of smelter problems at San Francisco.
This bureau investigates mine explo-
sions and safety conditions. studies
mining methods with view to pre-
venting waste and inefiiciency, and in
structs miners in first-aid and rescue
work.

Men Who Develop
Into Murderers
Five Feet, Seven Inches.
Average Height
Are you a murderer?

Are you murderer?
If you are about feet inches in
stature, little over thirty-five years
of age and have subnOrmal tempera-
ture, science may brand you MUIR
derer. At least, such are the ideal
specifications for murderer. based on
measurements of more than 1,5OO con-
victed slayers at the Waupun (Wis.)
state prison.
Other interesting data of the genus
are that frequent headaches, insom-
mia and periods of intense depression
are common. Teeth that have grown
bad through neglect are evident In
half of the cases.
A third of the murderers never at
tended school, while only 3 per cent
completed high school. More than
half were at work before they were
twelve years old and 80 per cent be-
fore they were fifteen. Almost half of
them were unable to retain the same
job or position full year. Half Of
them, records show, murdered while
under the influence Of liquor.

Cedar Apples, Mistaken for
