conditions that may cause accidents
IA the mines. It IS quite certain
that this precauti onary measure
leliminRtes the number OF accidents
md means a big saving to the COM
Dany IN the long run. Two thirdS
Of the accidents in the mine are
caused by fall Of slate and not by
/ men being burned By gas" declared
Mr.. Grlffiths as more prccaution Is
exercised In that direction than 10
bad roof conditions.
Swinging back to the original
question as to whether a non case
GUS mine must have regularly re.
ports from fire bosses and as to
whether men can proceed them in
the mine, Mr.. Griffiths said under
the mining law non.gaseous mine
IS not obliged to employ fire boss
SO that the mine law would not
compel a report from fire boss on
that type OF Thino and the man
might do as he pleases about 1t.
The name OF the Job might also be
shifted from fire boss to safety man
and the legal provision would not
apply.

under the Pennsylvania state min.
jng law after fire boss had found
a mine liberating quantities Of gas
sufficient to be detected by safe

mine foreman and II Is the duty OF
THAT official to see that the danger
GUS condition is removed. The
point was made that the West Wiz.
ginia mining Law was patterned aft
er the Pennsylvania and Illinois
| mining laws. After delving into
the matter IT. was found that In
section 10 OF the West Virginia
mining law that every mine liberat.
ing explosive gas is TO be kept free
OF standing gas IN all working
places and roadways. Under the
law It Is the duty OF the fire boss
to detect the gas and when he does
the ...sk of removing 1t is up to the
mine foreman. Section Il OF the
law also makes It imperative that

Some Weak Sisters
Some of the members believe
that one OF the weak points in the
West Virginia mining law is section
"a, which provides that in the even
Of the death or resignation Of Il
nino foreman. the superintendent
or manager shall appoint n certi'
fled man. If one be available and II
not any other competent man who
may serve with the approval OF the
chief OF the department Of mines
until the next examination. The
latter portion referring to q man
used in the emergency is believed
Ia be too lax. Another point he
lieved BY many to be weak Is the
fact that n clearer explanation Of

in the things of which he talks to his victims
but in the demonstration Of force he is

There Is the man who hates and whose

There has not been q proper agency to effect

"a year or two ago a young Nero
ran amuck in Washington, broke into several
buildings in the same evening and finally shot
and killed young woman. A study Of the
past of this man showed that he had given
evidence of q lack Of control, a tendency
to indulge in acts Of violence, all his life.
There had been a nut loose somewhere that
had caused the trouble. His steering gear
would not work. The repair had never

If he should go to a mental hygiene clinic,
the specialist would lead him to talk of him

He would get the mental attitude of this
man, the peculiar quirk in his thinking
processes that was troubling him. He would
follow the line back until he found where
that attitude Of mind had its origin. 1t
would very likely be in his childhood. A
study of the individual patient always dis
closes elements in the character make-up
that have made it hard for him to fit into
the circumstances of his life. Finally there
comes a time of stress, or the accumula-
tion Of difficulties grows greater, and the
mind gives way. But the origin of the
weak traits of character lay in some expert
ence of childhood. The crouch may have
had an abusive father. In his formative
years that father beat him down, physically
and mentally, until his mental favor became
habitually sour. The tendency was accen
