LIQUID OXYGEN
 AS LIFE SAVER
Mines Bureau Experiments With Element as Component Part of Breath Protector for Work of Rescue Crews in Mines
Special to the Journal-Miner)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 13- A new application of liquid oxygen, the use of the material in mine res cue breathing apparatus, is attract ing the attention of the United States bureau of mines. This innovation has already been tried out in Europe, and Dr. F. G. Cottrell of the Ma tional Research council, formerly di- rector of the bureau of mines, is now investigating for the bureau the use of the apparatus in England and on the continent. The new apparatus weighs no more than one-half that of the present type, while 1t may be used by the wearer at one charging of the regenerator for double the time of the present standard type.
 The bureau of mines is conducting experiments at its Pittsburg, Pa, station with a view to making the use of liquid oxygen explosives prac- ticable in certain mining and quarry ing operations. The increasing cost of dynamite and permissible explos- ives at the time the United States entered the world war caused the bureau of mines to investigate all possible substitutes. It was found that the Germans used liquid oxygen explosives extensively in non-gaseous coal mines. in quarries, and in iron mines. as well as for destructive pur- poses in French steel plants. As eminent physicists are promising great Improvements in liquefying ap- paratus that can be used for the pro- duction of cheap oygen, it is possible that the explosive may become so cheap that it will displace dynamite and other explosives where conditions permit its use.

QUESTION AND
 ANSWER OVER
 VACANCY SUIT
CF'rom Thursdays Daily)

A question as to the legality Of the appointment of L. s. Colwell as a member of the board of supervisors was raised yesterday in discussion of the case, and there was a good deal of searching of law books Under paragraph 346 of the civil code, it was thought, the mandate writ could not issue until at least 10 days after the filing of the decision by Judge Bollinger, an outside judge, and the giving Of notice to the parties.
 Other sections of the law, more specifically relating to writs of man date, were claimed, however, to ob- viate the necessity of a 10-day period between the filing of the decision and the issuance of the writ. Man dates like injunctiOns are regarded as extraordinary remedies and their peremptory character is said to put them outside the provisions covering the general executions issuing as a result of judgments in civil causes.
 Notice was sent by the cicrl, of the court, as required by law, but the writ specified only two instead of the ten days required in paragraph 346. It was contended that the writ was similar to any other execution and was void if it issued before judg- ment was entered. On the other hand, the contention was made that there was no judgment to be entered, but merely an order putting into ef- feet the courts decision, which was to issue peremptory writ of mall date, commanding d certain thing to be done forthwith
 For this reason, the Bollinger de- cision was regarded as differing from that of Judge A. (. Lockwood in the recent Putnam-Dameron case, where in judgment was entered after the mo- tice had been sent and the 10-day period had elapsed.
 The statute under which the ques- ton was raised, reads as follows:
 346. Whenever the judge of d su- perior court shall have heard a civil suit or proceeding ill another county,

NEW SUPERVISOR . TAKES UP WORK

Efficiency and public service arc the standards of the Yavapai county board of supervisors, as explained yesterday by members of the board It was intimated that the supervisors would work in harmony to the best interests of the county. Efficiency goes beyond friendship" Chairman w. w. Midgley said.
 L. s. Colwell, the new member oi the board, reported immediately yes terday morning, following his ap- pointment at a midnight session oi the board Tuesday night, and with Supervisor Midgley set out to take care of the county business.
 'I expect to give the best service to the public 1 am capable of," were the words in which Supervisor Col well responded to a question as to his policy as a supervisor. He then turned his attention to examination Of the report of the county highway commission.
 With Chairman Midgley, Super visor Colwell yesterday went over sections of the Prescott-Ash Fork highway, work on which IS expected to be begun soon by the county. The supervisors went over the road all most to Del Rio, returning through the Prescott Farms section.
 The wash-out just this side of Copper, into which Charley Burton's car took dive recently, was ordered blocked up and detour made around it. The wash-out will not be repaired in view of the fact that the prospective line of the Prescott Ash Fork highway passes beyond it, and that the road will soon be begun.
 Tired of Jokes
 The aim of the board of super visors, as explained by Chairman Midgley, is toward increased ef- ficiency. In this statement, Super visor Colwell concurred. In the management of the county's business, which is nothing more or less than the management of a $1,000,000 cor poration, efficiency goes beyond friendship. MT. Midgley indicated that the board was tired of unwar- ranted attacks.
 For juvenile salary" he said, I've are giving our time and atten- ton to the management of the coun- ty business, equally as hard as the management of a big corporation, such as that managed by Tom Fay Tor" The working capital of the county, he explained, is $1,000,00O, one-half of the tax-income, which must be expended judiciously to get the most far-reaching results pos sible for the least money.
 Tt is a shame" MT. Midgley con- tinued, that the supervisors must put in their time on jokes"
