CLEAN UP MAN.
With AIWANIS
Louis Hines in Command
of the Squad Talks at
Luncheon Today

Two excellent talks we're heard
by the liwanians today at their
luncheon. Louis NJ, Kines, com
mander OF the clean UP squad who
is a very entertaining speaker
gave a clearer view Of the. work
Of the body with which he is con-
nected than most had before.
He dwelt particularly upon the
difference between the old FASH
ioned pension plan Of taking care
of wounded and disabled soldiers,
and the present compensation
plan. He closed with a plea that
the club so far as possible aid in
the work of helping restore the
soldiers who by the adversities Of
war have been in measure de-
prived Of their earning power, and
that they try to meet the criticism
against the government for deal
ing slowly with its Veterans, by
telling just how hard the govern
1nent Is trying to take care OF Its
unfortunate heroes.
AL LlO ClO66 OIL ulb huuI S55B &Au
jor Earl Smith introduced Prof.
Lively who had charge of the
meeting which partook Of an edu-
cational turn. Emphasizing the
importance of an education from
the standpoint of dollars and cents
he referred to the fact that the
average number of years IN school
for the citizens OF ono state Is
seven years for another 1t Is three
and three-tenths. In the former
the earning power Of the average
citizen was one hundred forty
four dollars more than al the lat-
ter. He introduced Prof. Colebank
who made a strong plea for agtta-
ton Of greater appropriations for
educational institutions that they
might be- able to broaden their
programs. He closed urging that
something be done to keep idle
boys and girls of the streets, aa
he claimed that delinquency
started With street loafing after
school hours. Prof. Buckley was
also to have addressed the club.
but the lateness Of the hour led
Prof. Lively to suggest that his
talk be carried over TO- q GubBe-

FIRST AID MINER
IN TIMELY TALK
Should Know More About
Human BOdy-Less In
terest in Cars

DAKOTA, Dec. 6. - Most men
know the parts OF a Ford machine
but comparatively few know the
parts OF the greatest machine-the
human body-declared Walter Lon
don, Welch, first aid miner, in an
address to the class in first aid TO.
day at mine rescue car No. 8, Uni.
ted States Bureau of Mines, now on
the B. & o. siding here.
The initial class in first aid re-
ceived its primary lesson on Mon
day night and this morning the
second class began training with
the original class getting its sec.
ond day Of training Tuesday night.
Handling Of cases OF anterior hem
orrhages, the various pressure
points were explained. The point
was developed that a goodly por-
tion OF the patients suffer from
shock mostly after all types OF ac'
cidents in the mines or elsewhere
Interest Is growing In the work
here aud the following new men
were signed MP Tuesday in the sec
ond class: First aid--JOhn Smith,
Bert Mcdonald, Andy Chochuck,
Jesse Russell, ]. McGary, c, E. Yost,
Nick Dykin, John Halko, Philip
StanksurIcz, Joe Lazier, John Jen-
ousosic, To date there are thirty
one miners enrolled there having
been eighteen signed up tho first
day and thirteen the second, the
miners showing no disposition to
worry OF the mysterious phase or
the number thirteen generaly. Tho
entire course In first aid work IL
three hours a night and extends
over five nights.
The class in mine rescue spent
Tuesday afternoon in training.
The ten men were given practice
with elf container oxygen breath
ing apparatus or helme: work as
the miners term 1t. Breathing is
from the machine entirely and no
air is taken from the outside.
Geared up in this fashion the mon
walked and paced to Bellvlew and
around the surrounding country for
a period Of two hours to famllIarize
themselves with the use Of the ap-
pratus. The class In mine rescue
work begins promptly at l o'clock
every afternoon and continues until
4 y. m. With snow on the ground
and a goodly proportion OF mud
about the training was very fatigE-
ing Tuesday afternon, but the men
held up we'll.
One OF the difficulties Of the
work here has been the fact that
all of the work has been done in
the mine rescue car. This Is due to
the fact that the Bethlehem Mines
Corporation has no available build
ings. Other than for this condi-
tion the number OF men that would
be trained would be much. larger.
At present almost one.third Of the
100 miners at work here are TAX
ing the courses, which is fair pro-
portion. The present classes tax
the space OF the car the limit so
that the work is going full'ttlt I'm.
der the present circumstances.

INVENTION

,NjAR develops the resourceful-
w ness Of nations. Same as rats,
whose cunning increases when more
cats are around. Necessity is the
mother of invention.
The American inventive instinct,
stimulated by the war, is being car
ried along by its own momentum.
In the fiscal year 1918. patents
were applied for by 73,307 inven-
tors The figure kept climbing
steadily. reaching lO7,o56 for
fiscal year 1921.
Patents actually granted haven t
gained much. This shows duplica-
ton Of ideas. Some one else already
had thought Of it. But brains are
stirred up, thinking and scheming on
a bigger scale. Active brain cells
foreshadow progress. though imme-
diate results may be small.
