Findinu Buried Shells.

An old problem which is being en-
countered all through the territory in
which fighting occurred during the
war, is that of guarding against the
exploding Of shells which buried them
selves in the ground without having
exploded In the section of France
along the Marine, where the fighting
was particularly fierce, the peasant
farmers have found this danger to be
very real. A plowman may at any
moment strike a shell that will eX-
plode with sufficient force to kill him
and his team.
Various solutions have been suggest
ed, but the most promising is one
worked out by a French scientist and
considered by the Academy of Science.
The plan is to go all over the farms
with an electrical instrument that will
give warning when a mass of metal
is near. Such an instrument is an
old American invention frequently
used in laboratory work. Some mod
ifications OF it were adopted by the
and his apparatus requires the serv-
ices of two men.
In practical tests on the old battle
fields 1t has been found possible for
two men to explore an acre thorough
ly in about one hour, and to locate
every buried shell near enough to the
surface to do any harm.

BRIDE SET ON EXHIBITION
In Morocco, Girl About to Be Wed Is
Compelled to Pass Seven Long
Monotonous Days.

1t is curious thing that in land
so careful in the public appearance
of women as in Morocco, a girl should
be compelled to sit in private exhibit
ton for her women friends for seven
long days before she departs to the
home of the man who is to be her hus-
band, writes Temple Manning in the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
In one very important detail of the
Moroccan marriage customs, how
ever. is evidenced the complete sep
aration of the sexes which is so much
part of Moroccan life. Not even the
bridegroom is in the home of the
bride when the marriage party is given
there. Nor is the bride present at the
celebration given at the bridegroom's
home. Both bride and bridegroom en-
terrain their friends of their own sex
in their own homes.
For seven days the marriage rejoic-
ings go on, to the accompaniment of
the beating of drums and the blowing
of pipes and flutes. But while the
bridegroom joins his friends in cele-
brating the event, the bride must sit
motionless, with downcast eyes, on a
throne of cushions in the center of the
chief room in her own house. She is
not supposed even to see the various
persons about her. But she knows
they are all her own girlhood friends
or the women friends of her mother.
Each of the principal guests is cos
tuned and adorned much as is the
bride. Their faces are painted red,
their eyelids and the skin under their
eyes, their under-lips, the palms of
their hands and the fingers up to the
first joint are Stained brown. Thumb
rings and anklets, as well as many
bracelets, are prominent. The feet of
these guests are dyed the color of TO-
dine and gaudy with multi-colored
slippers.
1t is the seventh day that the bride
says farewell to her parents and the
home from which she may never be-
fore have stirred.

Dali Eifeann Accepts the Irish
Peace Treaty by a Vote of
81 to 81.
De VALERA WON'T SUBMIT
He and His Followers Determined to
Continue the Republic-Complete
Program Almost Ready for the
Armament Conference-Partial
Moratorium for Germany.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD

THE war in Ireland is ended-may-
l. be.
Dali Eireann, after hectic week of
debate, accepted the treaty of London
by which the Irish Free State is es-
tablished as part of the British en-
pire. But, although there was no
doubt that vast majority of the
people of Ireland favored this settle
ment of the immortal struggle, 81
members of the dali voted against the
pact. The vote for ratification was
"a. De Valera, assisted by other
irreconcilables, fought in vain against
the acceptance Of the treaty, and when
he saw. his cause was lost he holly
resigned as president of the Irish re-
public. Then he withdrew the reSig-
nation, at least temporarily, and after
the dali had acted he and his follow
ers declared they would not be bound
by the decision. Next day De Valera
asserted that the ratification was not
q legal act, and could not go into eff
feet until the Irish republic is dis
established by the will of ene Irish peo-
pie who created it. He said he would
continue the organization of the re-
public, and that he was still its chief.
At a secret meeting of the De Valera
faction 1t was declared that the repub-
lie should be maintained, but there
was a difference of opinion as to the
methods to he used, whether a mere
assertion of it's existence or active
steps to run a government in opposition
to the Free State. In many cases 1T
appears certain that the irreconcil-
ebles intend to prolong the struggle,
probably to actual hostilities.
The strength of the opposition to
the peace treaty in the Dali Eireann
when it reassembIed after the holidays
was unexpected. De Valera, Countess
Markiewicz and many others denounced
the pact bitterly and were not at all
abashed by the arguments of Its sup
porters. On Wednesday DE valera
issued a proclamation to the people
of Ireland" and also circulated copies
of the Document No. y shorn OF
several of it's clauses. This latter
was De Valera's proposed alternative
pact. and a fierce debate at once arose
over whether it should be considered
as an amendment to the treaty ana
voted on first, as De Valera wlsheo,,
or whether a vote should first be taken
on the treaty and, if it were unfavor-
able, then on the alternative. In the
course of the row De Valera shouted
that he was sgoing to move this amend
ment at my own time and in my own
way" and when reminded this was a
matter for the chair TO decide he
hotly retorted. Il am the president
here and I am going TO make my own
rules of procedure IN my own way
and at my own time"

MINE LOSS OF LIFE
 RESTS ON OWNERS

Washington, Dec 2o.-Practical
 mine workers deny the claim by H
 Foster Bain, director of the United States bureau of mines, that the 1et- l down of morale on the part of the l individual miner" is responsible for
 increased number of accidents caused l by falls of mine roofs and coal falf ing at the working face of the mine, l Roofs have tendency to cut
 when idle" said Edgar Wallace, mem Der of the United Mine Workers and legislative representative of the A. F. of L. "The morale of the workers has nothing to do with coal falling at the working face When work is started in a mine that has been idle 1 for several months the roof falls be- cause it has been broken. This would not be so apt to happen if the mine was being operated and a continuous advance was being made" Director Bain's statement has been given wide publicity in the public press (which did not overlook the in ference that the miners are respon- sible for many accidents. The most disastrous explosion in recent years miners strike had nothing to do with
 
 field cannot assert Themselves. This mine operated continuously during the five months strike. The deadly explosion at the Spangler mine, Pennsylvania, was caused by coal dust '>
 ,"The director of mines must know that no individual miner can provide known preventatives for coal dust ex- p1osions," said Mr. Wallace. "The dampening of coal dust or the neu- tralizing of coal dust by spreading sha1e dust is necessarily the business of the management Other preventa- tives that only the management can supply are: Keeping a mine clear of explosive gases by ventilation; con stant watchfulness on the part of highly trained men i'll the position of fire bosses, who should be supplied fn adequate numbers by the manage ment. No individual miner, except he be provided with necessary equip ment by the management, can con tribute to the neutralizing of danger ous accumulation of coal dust, or to proper ventilation, which will prevent dangerous accumulation of fire damp.
 >"Only that part of the directors report that charges impaired morale of the miners as a result of the strike has been given any publicity, by the press. The rest of the report which is. clear and true statement of risks for underground workers and the pos sibi1ity for reduction of these risks, is not mentioned by the press. It has no propaganda value"

HIGH LUMBER COSTS
 TRACED TO GREED

Seattle, Dec. 2o-The boasted Thigh cost of labor" as reason for high lumber costs has been discredited by officers of the International Union of Timber Workers.
 These trade unionists show that the labor cost IS 90 cents on 1000 shingles that were retailed in the east for S0 while 10 per cent went to labor, o3 per cent went to mill profit, the brokers and the railroads.
 Several months ago a sh1ngle pack CT placed a note in a bundle> ot shingles, asking the ultimate consum- CT to inform him how much the shingles cost him. The shingle pack CT received a letter from Westports Conn, which stated the writer paid So per 1000 for 8o,ooo shingles.
 "It might be of interest to know how much of this $o went to shingle mill labor, how much to the timber barons, and how much went for mill profit, the broker and the railroads, the uVonists say.
 Based on widely varying condi- tions, the average cost of the shingle mill labor is 90 cents per 1000 shingles The average timber cost is $2.35 per 1000, which in this case will leave $5.75 per 1000 that went to mill profit, the brokers and the railroads.
 "The total. cost to the consumer ip this case was $72o. Out of this $72o, to shingle mill labor went $72, or only 10 per cent, to the timber barors went $I88, or 26.I per cent; to mill profit, the brokers and railroads went $46o, or 6 per cent.
 'In other words, the mill owners, brokers and railroads received about 54 times as much as went to shingle mill labor; the timber barons received over 26 times as much as shingle. mill labor; the mill owners, timber barons, brokers and railroads got 9 times as much as shingle mill labor, or 90 per cent of the cost to the con Surner.
 Timber costs in this. case were figured on prices paid to the lumber barons by the mills that own no tim Der, but who must buy logs in the open market In cases where the mills own their timber the timber cost is much lower and the margin of profit much greater"
