100 Miners Deaths Caused by
Illiteracy. Lact of English
Blamed For Accidents to
Many BY Experts.

The Director Of Mines and Mining
recently showed that out Of a mil
lion men employed in the mines,
100000 were foreigners, and 4G0,-
900 could not speak English. He
attributed 1000 deaths and 10000
injuries in the mines annually to
illiteracy.
Tie first draft in the recent war
disclosed that startling fact that one
fourth of the boys called to the
colors were illiterates.
Between 25 and 80 per cent were
physically defective, and it is in
sisted that 90 per cent Of the defects
could have been removed by intelli-
gent training as to hygiene and
simple diseases during childhood.
OF the total draft, 100000 were
i1literates. With our boys called to
the coiors, the ages being from just
below 20 to just above 80, out Of
100000 there were 100000 litter
ates. These facts are startling and
should shock our national con-
science.

S6O,OOO GIFT FOR HOUSING OF
 STRAY CATS

 NEW YORK. Nov lG. The eat world Was agog recently over the gift of $60.0oo obtained at an auction sale of the Ewen homestead in Smyrcn Duy,il Thus the dream of Miss Caroline Ewen is about to be realized. and the conclusion is writ ten of as tangled and weird story as the records of the Surrogate's Court can show.
 Cynics scoffed at the consuming passion of this queer old wOmans life her desire to house stray cats and to provide them with every comfort During her life she and her sisters established sanitariums for cats. contributed to organizations that provide for stray cats thought of and lived for cats
 When she died her will provided that all but $500 be given to organ izations opposed to vivisection and to sanitariums. homes and societies for cats Her two sisters, who figured later in contests. were cut off. Louise Ewen because she had mar ried the bogus Baron Otto von Koen- itz. a German ex-convict.
 Despite this. Louise Ewen carried on the work of alIeviating the miser- ies of the stray cat. She. too. was known by the children of the neigh borhood in which she lived as one who would give all Of ten cents for each feline wanderer in the streets a source of profitable income.
 Later Louise died. and she left most of her money to her sister, Elizabeth with a provision for her pets. Both wills were contested by John Ewen. the nephew. Louise's will was upheld. and the contest over Caroline's was settled out of court.
 Various personalities figured in the contest over the will of Louise-a clergyman, who lcter as her nurse; 1 the bogus baron and others who paid court to her because of her wealth and eccentricities.
