first sent TO the earth by the moon
god, who used a rabbit as his messen-
ger. The message given to the rab-
bit was this Like as / die and rise
TO life again, so shall you die and rise
TO life again.
The rabbit, however. thinking it
would be q good joke on the people
of the earth, reversed this gospel:
What he said to the people was: Like
as | die, and live no more, so shall We
all die and be no more alive" The
people took this gospel very sorrow
fully, which amused the rabbit, and
he went back to the moon god and
boosted of what he had done The
god was so Infatuated with his mes
senger that he threw a Ratchet at him
and split his lip wide open. and that,
if you would like to know, is why the
rabbits lip is slit.

Mine BUREAU REDUCES
TOTAL OF DISASTERS
Decrease in Deaths From All
to 1923 Per Thousand
Since Year 1911.

Substantial reduction of the death
and injury rate in coal and metal
mines of the country Is shown In
statement reviewing the safety work
performed by the bureau Of mines
since its establishment in 1910, made
by DR.. Ii. Foster Balm, acting direc-
tor. From rate in 1911 of All
deaths for each 1000 men employed.
there has been an almost unbrOken
decline to rate of 1913 per 1000 in
1919, the statement said.
1t was the occurrence of q series or
disastrous coal-mine explosions, at
tended by heavy losses of life, that
caused congress to create the bureau
of mines. In 1911 there occurred 10
major coal mine accidents, causing
Alb deaths, or 1915 per cent of the to-
tai number of men killed by all causes
at coal mines during the year. In lo2O,
eight similar accidents caused 81
deaths, or only 81 per cent of the to-
tai from all causes. For the interven-
ing years, the statement said that
general improvement was shown.
The bureau has at present ten espe-
cially equipped Pullman cars engaged
in transporting its training crews
from mine to mine. 1t has nine res
cue statiOns-at Pittsburgh, Pa;
Willesbarre, Pa; Vincennes, Ind;
Birmingham, Ala; Berkeley, Cal;
McAlester, Okla, and Seattle, Wash.
RpSidpS training tho miners i'm rescue
work the experts of the bureau train
the wives and children of the miners
in first-aid.
The increased output of mines, eS-
pecially of coal, in recent years has
been produced with little increase in
the number of miners, the statement
said, and adds that the personnel is
not nearly 50 skilled in mining as ten
years ago. This condition makes nee
essary added precautions against ac-
cident, the statement said.
The bureau has trained in the past
ten years 50,971 persons in mine res
cue work and first-aid methods. In
Pennsylvania, Oil persons were
trained, in Colorado, 1921; in Mon
tana, 2,740; in West Virginia, BIB;
in Michigan, 2,G20; in Kentucky, p
AL. in Arizona, 2,147; in Alabama,
2o97. The state of Washington, with
1854 persons trained in relation to an
average number of miners employed
amounting to 6,035, has the best rec

LEAGUE PREPARES FOR FIGHT
Europe Said to Be Angered at Idea of
Rival Association.

Geneva.-The League of Nations is
preparing for open warfare against
any rival association of powers such
as are suggested by President Hard
ing.
The league, after remaining on the
defensive, hoping the Harding scheme
would die from lack of support, now
has decided upon action measures to
combat the American viewpoint.
This action was decided upon fol-
lowing reports that Uruguay, Chile
and possibly other South and Central
American countries plan to withdraw
from the league with the ultimate
purpose of Joining society of powers
Of which the United States would be
the nucleus.

'GOVERN0R SENDS
SECOND MESSAGE
URGES LEGISLATORS TO EARLY
ACTION ON SOLDIERS
BONUS MEASURE.
ST SUBJECTS UP FOR ACTION
Senate Delays Vote on House Resolu.
ton Setting June AS Ad-
n journment Date.

Lansing.-In a second message to
the special session of the legislature,
Governor Groesbeck has presented 20
additional subjects for consideration,
this bringing the total of issues which
may be discussed to 81. 1t is doubt
ful whether adjournment will be taken
this week although the house has
passed a resolution setting June as
adjournment date. This will likely be
held up in the senate committee until
the important measures have been
acted upon.
Differences on the Dacey-Strom sol
diers' bonus bill have delayed pas
sage Of the measure, for which the
extra session was primarily called.
The house passed it in amended form
which provides that only one third of
the $30,000000 bond issue necessary
another third 20 years and the bal
ance only ten years. This would save
the state $15,OO0OOO in interest, it
was claimed in the house. 1t would
mean though the reprinting of the
bonds and a delay in payment of the
bonus.
The Governor in his second message
stated at is imperative the bonus
money be available July l, and any
thing which jeopardizes this plan
should be avoided He also took the
stand that the belief that the short
term bonds would save the state in
terest money was unfounded, and act
ing on these instructions, 1t is pos
sible that an early agreement between
the two houses will be reached.
Most of the additional subjects men
toned in the governors second mes
sage were submitted in bills and res
olutions:
The governor asks for
Additional appropriation for the
Michigan Soldiers home, creation OF
a Michigan-Wiscons boundary COM
mission, appropriations for the Ionia

MANY KILLED IN RACE RIOTS
Oklahoma City Placed Under Martial
Law by Governor.

Tulsa, Okla.-Race riots here last
week resulted in the death of about
100 persons, including nine whites
and in the destruction of 10 blocks of
homes in the Negro quarter. The city
was placed under martial law by the
governor but even then desultory fir
ing continued for some time.
The trouble is declared to have
started from the arrest of a Negro
charged with attacking an orphan
white girl, and subsequent attempts
of other Negroes to rescue the arrest
