MANY LIVES LOST
In MINE ACCIDENTS
Reports Show That 1865 Men Were
Killed Around Coal Fields Dur
ina Month of October.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2--As the re-
suit of accidents in and about the coal
mines OF the country, 1877 men lost
their lives during October, according
to reports received by the United
States Bureau of Mines from the va
rious state mine inspectors. This rep
resents q decrease of q fatalities, or
about IA per cent, from the coal mine
fatality record for October, 1920, in
which month 1914 men were killed.
Based upon an estimated output Of
51,321, 900 short tons in October, 1921,
the fatality rate is 3.25 per million
tons produced. The corresponding rate
for October, 1920, was 1872 and the pro-
duction of coal was $4,000, 600 tons. The
production Of coal during October, 1921,
represents a decrease. of Is per cent.
The average number of lives lost
during October of each year from 1913
TO 1920 has been 246. The production
of coal has averaged So S6 tons, show
ing a fatality rate of 4.S8 per million
tons as representative of the month of
October for the past eight years.
OF the total number of Fatalities in
October Of the present year, 131 oc-
Cured at bftuminous mines through
out the country and SO at the anthra-
cite mines in Pennsylvania. Pennsyl-
vania bituminous mines had 80 fatal
accidents, an increase Of i over October
year ago; West Virginia 80. a reduc-
tion of 3; Illinois II, a reduction of
IL; Ohio IL. no change; Kentucky IL,
a decrease of 8; Indiana 5, a reduce
ton of z; and Alabama 3, a reduction
OF 2.
During the first ten months OF the
present year 1929 men have been killed
by accidents at all coal mines. against
1880 killed during the corresponding
months of 1890. a decrease of PSI ia
talities, or IS per cent. The output of
coal for the same months was 414 AGO.
600 short tons in 1921 and $4,000, 600
tons in 1920, a decrease during the
present year of II. 100000 tons. or 81
per cent. These figures represent a
fatality rate of s.93 per million tons
mined in 1921 and 357 per million
tons in 1920.
For the Pennsylvania anthracite
mines alone, fatalities during the pres
emit year have averaged 44.3 per month.
as compared with a monthly average
of 41.2 during the first ten months of
1920, and the monthly output of coal
has averaged 7,44O, 600 tons in 1921 as
against 100000 tons for the same per-
iod a year ago, The resulting fatality
rates have therefore been sos per mill
hon tons mined in 1921. and 5.63 per
million tons mines in 1920. The num-
Der OF fatal accidents in any one
month reached its lowest point in Sep
tenber, 1920. when only 20 men were
killed, but in that month most of the
mines We're closed for about twenty
days on account of a strike and the
production of coal fell to 4,sSs, 600 tnos.

ENTER hip
(BY MARIAN HALO

NEW YORK. Dec. Tit is remark
able in season when coats, capes as
well know accentuate the long line,
how many Of the suits defy woman's
efforts to be svelte.
Hip trimming of heavy fur, fantasies
OF pleats and ornamentation drive the
stout woman to desperation.
Fortunately some Of the designers
"have heart" and create suits for all
conditions Of weight.
The deep banding of Kolinsky on
the veldyne suit is not content with
mere furriDess. It is fulled-and then
some.
Indeed, the hips are accentuated by
fan-shaped pieces Of veldyne banded
in the fur.
An attractive and novel collar Of
Kolinslsy and veldyne gives the choker
effect. The skirt is straight lined.
A recent import saw from Vienna
is Of citronbroad cloth banded with
deep nutria bands over the hips and
the choker collar. Paris shows the
same line defiance so, of course, we
are all in for it.

WHERE THE RED CROSS ACTS.

Some months ago, when the Red
Cross was making drive for funds
to be used in home service work, one
heard this remark on every side:
"oh. what's the use? The wars
over" Yes. the war is over. but the
work of the Red Cross is ever with
us--not only in allaying suffering and
preventing disease. but in keeping in
readiness to supply aid to entire COM
munitics when acts OF God cause great
catastrophes.
The survivors OF the Pueblo food,
despoiled of all the comforts and many
Of the necessities OF life, today are
depending upon the Red Cross for
food. clothing and shelter. The money
which was given so grudgingly. per-
haps, is being used in the most prac-
tical manner possible. A dollar in the
hands OF the Red Cross at such a
time is worth more than 100 con-
tributed directly by an individual
because the Red Cross dollar is backed
up by an efficient organization which
knows how to expend il where it will
do the greatest good for the greatest
number.
