THE BUREAU
OF MINES

During the eleven years of its exist
ence the bureau of mines has succeed
ed in establishing a good record for
efficiency in reducing the death and
injury rate in the coal and metal
mines of the United States. Called
into being by series of disastrous
coal mine explosions, accompanied by
heavy loss of life, the bureau found
that in its first year of operation the
| rate of deaths was All for each 1000
men employed. BY the application of
its methods 1t has cut the rate grad
ually but progressively until for 1919
1t stood at 1923 per 1000 In 1911
there were fifteen major coal mine ac-
cidents, resulting In 413 deaths. or
1876 per cent of the total number of
linen killed by all causes: in 1920
there were but eight similar acct
dents, attended by 81 deaths, or only
81 per cent of the total from all
causes. These figures speak for them
selves.
The particular function exercised b.
the experts of the bureau is to train
crews in mine rescue work and first
aid methods and to transport theso
from mine to mine in order to incul
cate the necessity of intelligence and
care, to teach rescue work to the EN-
ployes themselves and to impart te
the wives and children instructions
in first aid.
AS the figures above quoted prove
the results so far achieved are of first
class importance. To expect the total
avoidance of mine accidents is an
parently to expect the impossible.
On the other hand, to reduce their
number and. when they do occur, to
mitigate their effects by preventing
avo,dable loss of human life, is to
render a real service to the country.

GERMAN
PATENTS

An extraordinary state of facts is
revealed is the communication of Sec
rotary of War Weeks to the Senate
relating to patents on ordnance Sc
cured In this country by the Krupps.
1t is shown that since July 1, 1920, the
United States patent Office has issued
to German citizens 201 patents per-
tanning to the manufacture of guns
and that these patent rights have in
turn been transferred to Frederick
Krupp, of Essen, Germany.
No question is raised against the
legality of these patentS since it is
stated that they were issued under
the provisions Of the trading-with-
the-enemy act. but Secretary Weeks
does raise a very important question
Of public policy which Congress
should not ignore. He directs atten-
ton to the fact that some of these
patents pertain to railroad artil-
lery and embody many of the princi-
Piles of our own railroad artillery"
In other words, the rather anomalous
situation is presented of the United
States granting to Germany, with
which it is technically at war. patents
covering valuable war inventions.
Corrective legislation is suggested
by Secretary Weeks. He points out
that a provision requiring all foreign
patents to be put in operation within
a period of two or three years might
prove advantageous to this country.
He directs attention to the manner by
which Germans before the war con-
trolled the dye isdustry in this coun-
try through their patent activities.
Congress by all means should take
proper steps to correct this condition
and protect the interests of this
sonntxy.

LARGE CONCRETE BRIDGE
WAS BUILT UNDER TENT

tered In many years. but be-
cause the highway. of which
this bridge formed link, is a
very important one, the state
highway department saw the
need of completing the bridge
so that the road between Sher-
idan and Dietz might be opened
early in 1920 for the heavy
farm hauling prevailing in that
section. Construction work was
started In the fall of 1919. and
forms for the three spans erect
ed. Before any concrete was
placed, large tent was set up
over the entire structure site
and fires kept going In the en-
closure In stoves with smoke
outlets through the top of the
tent. Aggregates and mixing
water were heated. During the
progress of the work snow
storm followed by severe cold
lasting several days, tested the
effectiveness of the tent. The
housing proved equal to the
emergency. however, and there
was no particular difficulty In
keeping the enclosure sufficient
ly warm until the concrete had
hardened. The work on this
bridge suggests the application
of the same principles to longer
structures where 1t might be
practicable to house In only one
or Two spans at n time. The
same method could be applied
to the construction of long
walls and other relatively mar
row structures by housing In
successive sections"

A SHAME
AND DISGRACE

Dispatches stated few days age
that Philip Fournier. an American
citizen and q gassed and wounded
hero of the terrible battle of Meuse-
Argonne. died in Chicago of poverty
and hunger. That great city. as soon
as It heard Of 1t, was shocked and dis
tressed. and paid every honor to the
dead soldier. but that did not bring
him hack to life or lessen the fact
that his death from neglect Is shame
and disgrace to the nation and the
o1icials Of the various departments
and bureaus having the care of our
disabled soldiers In charge. Those
swivel-chair skunks responsible
should be booted neck and heels out
of,the soft snaps they are highly paid
toaconduct.
A case in point came to attention In
Winnemucca soon after the war was
ended. A soldier who had gone
through the whole list of battles in
France was In dire need of medical
attention and dental work. His teeth
had been completely neglected during
the many months he had been in the
army and were causing great trouble.
He had no money to speak of and was
in debt. After months of correspond
ence and days of preparing affidayits
on which notarial fees were paid In
the sum of $3.50. some official finally
wrote to the soldier, informed him the
affidavits had either been lost or had
not been sent, and that IL he would
duplicate the performance the official
thought relief might be Forthcoming.
The ex-soldier threw up his hands In
despair and had the offending teeth
pulled out. The object of the afr
davits and red tape is to protect the
government from fraud, but better
hundred times that the government be
defrauded than that one man such as
Philip Fournier should die as he did
