Cave-In Act Is Void

Washington, Dec 15.-The United States supreme court has set aside the Pennsylvania law which prohibited the mining of anthracite coal in a manner that would endanger the lives or injure the property of persons occupying houses situated on the sur face soil. Justice Brandeis dissented,
 The court held that the law de prived coa lowners of valuable prop erty rights without compensation. Under the decision, coal owners can mine coal without any regard for cave-ins that endanger lives and property, unless the coal that is neces- sary for props is paid for.
 In his dissenting opinion, Justice Brandeis said:
 If by mining anthracite coal the owner would necessarily unloose pois- onous gases, 1 suppose no one would doubt the power of the state to pre- vent the mining without buying his coal fields. And why may not the state, likewise, without paying com pensation, prohibit one from digging so deep or excavating so near the surface as to expose the community to like dangers? In the latter case, as in the former, carrying on the business would be a public nuisance"

p. 0. CLERKS ASK
 HELP OF PUBLIC

An appeal has been issued by the Connecticut Federation of Postoffice clerks for the public's cooperation in
 mailing early for Christmas.
 It was pointed out by the federa- tion that the biggest part of the public
 wait until the last moment to mail their parcels and letters. This means that clerks and carriers are required to work a big amount of overtime in the few days before Christmas. The public as we'll as the employees and
 the government would benefit by early mailing. In the rush just be-
 fore the holiday mails are slower in moving than at present when the Christmas mail has not arrived. It also means that if the mail is mailed just few days before Christ
 mas more clerks will be required to work on the holiday. In some offices some clerks have never had Christ mas off since thaeir entry in the ser vice At resent meeting of the Lords Day Alliance in New York at which representatives of the federa- ton were present the body went on record as favoring the closing of the postofice on Christmas in order that the postoffice employees would enjoy the spirit of the holiday, by being off duty.
 The federation points out that it >will take considerable time>to educate the public in early mailing but that in the end the public will be the gainer. In. this respect the Connecti cut Federation points out that the postofice department and the Fed eration of Postofice Clerks are both conducting campaigns for early mail ing With this amount of publicity the campaign is bound to have results.

is no subject which SO frees and en- lightenes the human spirit as the study of science.
 ''We still know very little about the laws of the human mind, and little about the art of social communica- ton. The school, through it's study of the psychology of children and of intelligence tests is only just begin ming piece of work which should be of the greatest social value to the na- ton. For such work research de- partments are needed in the public schools. Such departments exist in any modern business. They exist for the study of agriculture and of ami mals.

This means that two-thirds of the children of our na- ton are growing up with little or no practical Or theoretical knowledge of modern science.
