IGNORES MASSACRE

Sheriff Says He Cannot Identify Any
Member of MOb-AnOther Attack at

HERRIN, H., June 27. ASSOCIATED
Press. Twelve wounded men, survivors
of the AZ non union workers and guards
captllred at the Lester mine by mob
last Thursday, are in danger of their
lives if they leave the Herrin hospital,
according to reliable reports reaching
state and federal investigators.
Dead men tell no tales and some OF
those wounded men know too much for
safety of members of +hn mob" one
Herrin business man commented.
Angered because their town has been
blamed for the atrocities, Herrin citi-
zens say other mining towns should
bear part of the responsibility. Sheriff.
Thaxton said he had been unable to get
any information leading to the identity
of any member of the mob.
The HerTin city council met last
night. but no mention of the mine riot
last Thursday was made. The alder
men passed an ordinance prohibiting
crap shooting, repealed an ordinance
taxing bootleggers and blind tigers pro-
prietors $500 a year, transacted some
other routine business and adjourned.

FATIGUE A MYSTERY
Never Clearly Defined and Its Relation
TO Infection Uncertain

Fatigue in man has never been clearly
defined and we feel far from explaining
its origin. There enter in so many diff
ferent factors. 1t has been attributed
to wear and tear in muscle and the ac-
cumulation of waste products. The
condition of the nerve end plate seems
concerned in the matter and a using up
of the material of motor nerve cells has
been found by good investigators.
The accumulation of waste products
in the blood is believed to take place
and a fatigue toxin was presumably dis
covered by one psychologist. But over
all. in the human subject. there is the
element of mental attitude A class of
girls in gymnastics viii show the most
evident signs of fatigue after a gym
nastic lesson and the teacher may fancy
he has Overdone the matter and imposed
crward, should a popular dance tune be
struck up by the pianist, the whole class
viii be dancing as if they had had no
previous muscular exercise. The pupils
were suffering only from ennui.
Even the tests for fatigue of a few
muscles. which were devised by the ex-
perimental psychologists, have of late
years been considered very unreliable.
the mental attitude element upsetting all
conclusions. With so simple a test we
do not know when the fatigue is phySi-
cal or mental. Ii it has been difficult
to define fatigue it has been as diff
cult to distinguish fatigue from exhaus-
ton. 1t is interesting to note that in
experiments on dogs the personal eq1a-
tion comes in very markedly. Many
dogs cannot be persuaded to run in a
treadmill, while others will run till they
drop.
After exercise the human being is more
likely to put himself in a situation to
become chilled or may conduct himself
in other ways which viii render him
susceptible to infection for which the
fatigue is not directly responsible. In
this connection it should be mentioned
that Vernon, in a study of the effect of
fatiguing work in tin mills and other
factories in England, could discover no
definite relationship between fatigue
and the incidence of sickness, what ex-
cess illness there was seeming to be due
to earelessness about exposure to chill
ing when wet with perspiration. The
subject deserves further study on other
animals. and if definition of fatigue
can also be worked out by the inyesti-
gators it viii be of much value.-New
York Medical Journal.

WANTS CREDITS FIRST
Soviet VIII Not Treat with Powers Tn
til Ii Has Money

TIE HAGUE, june 27-Bolsheviki
Russia wants credits before anything
else. This pronouncemcnt was made
last night by Maxim Litvinoff, head of
the Russian delegation. which arrived
here yesterday. in his first statement to
the press. and it has created consterna-
tion among the representatives of the
European countries here. because they
had virtually agreed to discuss credits
last of all after some tentative accord
had. been reached on the questions of
priyStc property and Russian debts.
Some of the delegates believe that per-
sistence of the B0lsheviki in this atti-
tude may imperil the conference; they
point out that there can be no serious
conversations about loaning money or
opening credits until some satisfaction is
first obtained concerning property and
debts. Belgium and France will be the
first to oppose the Soviet procedure.

"Are the fresh air children coming to

These are some of the questions being
asked by some of the women who enter
tained some of the little New Workers for
their 1921 vacation of two weeks. Some
of the housewives also have kept in touch
with their little charges since their de-

Don't you want to take a child away

asking as she goes about hunting up

As in the past two or three years the
work of securing vacation homes for the
children will be taken up by the Brattle-

be appointed in q day or two to have inn

The entertainment of the children for

The appeal comes to let them help for
