Charles Lambert, the eight year
old, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Camille
Lambert, of Fourteenth street,
may lose his left hand as a result
OF an ezpluSiua e pack d Of
dynamite with which he was play

The little Lambert boy was one
of a number Of children in that
vicinity between four and ten yenrs
Of age who had found a box full Of
dynamite packages which had been
used by yworkmen in blasting for
poles. The high powered dynamite
packages were distributed by the
children. so that each Of the chill
dren had enough Of the dynamite to
blow them to pieces.
Now aware OF the contents Of the
packages with which he was play
ing the little Lambert boy this
morning blew up toy balloon
which he had secured at the John
Robinson circus and put the dyna-
mite package into the end of the
balloon to keep the air from COM

boy lit a match to the fuse Of the
package, and q violent explosion
followed. He was Immediately

MORE GIRLS TO
BECOME NURSES
Answering Appeal of Cook
Hospital Along This
Line Ill

Those In eharss az Cook hospital
deiish shtsd al the interest mani
tested by young women recently IN
the profession of nursing. Miss
Margaret Leatham, superintendent
mailed SIX application blanks out
yesterday to be filled in by girls
who wish to take the training In
this institution. Five applicants
have already been accepted and
will enter as pupil nurses at in
teryals between now and Novem-
Der.
Cook hospital can take care Of
81 pupil nurses this fall With five
already accepted and granting that
the six girls who receive their ap-
plicatlon blanks this week can quail
ify. this leaves nine vacancies to
be filled. 1t is confidently expect
ed that the complete class will be
rounded out in the next few weeks
for girls are becoming more and
more inclined to enter professions
that have dignity and dependable
ity and that always command good
salaries.
There Is no better opportunity
offered In the present day than
that OF the professional nurse, and
Cook hospital, Fairmont's public
institution, offers most exceptional
training for this work. The pupil
nurses who enter are graduated at-
ter three years training fitted in
every way for the duties and re-
sponsibilitles which teyolye upon
the graduate nurse. With a full
quota OF pupil nurses and the usual
number of graduate nurses who
are retained on the staff; the COM

Of accomplishment for Cook hospi-
tai since It's beginning. The hand
leap Of not having enough nurses
has been, a most severe one, but It
looks Ike this difficulty was over.

ONLY "A MINES
ARE W0RNNG.IN
REGION TODAY
Operators Continue Talk
About Readjustment
of Wages

While asking for a readjust-
ment Of miners wages Il is never
theless reasonably certain that no
desire is entertained by the Fair
mont region operators to abrogate
the existing contract with the Unit
ed Mine Workers OF America. The
working conditions have been right
fair in the region as a whole and
both parties concerned are no doubt
anxious to retain the good rela-
tionship that exists.
There has been q tendency, how
ever, during the past few days
for several mines at least on the
outlying sections OF the region to
abrogate their contracts and the
miners accordingly went back to
work on a non-unlon basis and
with the 1917 scale in force. At
least two Of such instances hap
pened this week on the Charleston
division of the B G o; several
between Weston and Tygart's juno
ton, and several In Monongalia
county.
Generally speaking in the heart
Of the FaiInont region, 70. suetiy
radical mcve is anticipated by the
majority of the operators, it is
thought, but they do. believe that
owing to the kee ncompetition
with the non-union fields that have
a 1917 contract and in some cases
hampered by Objectionable differ.
entails, that they should have
some consideration Operators
contend that business men from
time to time are obliged to make
readjustmeuts to meet existing
conditions and they say that this
time has come right now in the
Fairmont region. Several times
during the past five years the op-
orators declare that they have met
the miners at the conference board
and granted increases Since bus
mess conditions are so ragged
they ask the miners to meet them
and have sent out an s. o S. call
Unquestionably the Fairmont re.
gton Is facing a situation that II
never has before. In tho ffst
place 1t was on a par with the non
union fields OF Fayette and Som
erset counties, Pa, on wages at
least, prior to the war 1t then,
too, had differential difficulties but
not as great perhaps as now. The
coal business was bad enough in
1919 after the signing OF the ar
mistice, but the surplus coal was
worked to the lakes and the apr
preaching foreign business which
began to show promise in April
and budded forth until the Curtis
Bay shipments in June ran as high
as 1000 to 1898 cars week
The situation today does jot
seem to have a great deal in sIgnt.
Operators returning from the east
talk about but no one has made a
move In laying in stocks of coal
and II they do this business Is nat
urally going to the Connellsville
and Somerset fields because of the
1917 wage scale being in effect
there and due to the fact that Som
rset's rate is 25 cents less on the
ton. The popular idea afloat In
the east is that the price of coal
will come down,
