LESS LOSS LIFE IN COAL MINE
 ACCIDENTS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28-Accidents at coal mines in the United States in 1921 resulted in a smaller loss ot life than in any year since 1903, accord ing to a report just compiled by the Federal Bureau of Mines. Information receivel from all state mine inspec. tors show a total of 1873 men killed as compared with 2,271 in the preced. ing year, a reduction of 298 fatalities or more than 13 per cent.
 Te decrease was due largely to the fact that the bituminous mines were idle much of the year on account of the depressed condition of industry in general and the resulting lack of de mand for coal. The output for the year is estimated by the U. s. geologi cal survey at 494,500,O0O net tons, of which 4O7,OOO.OOO tons was bitumin- ous coal and s7,500,0o0 tons was an- thracite, the total production repre- senting a decrease of more than 23 per cent below the tonnage mined in 1920. For every million tons of coal produced, the fatality rate for the past year was 3.99, while for 1920 it was 3.52. Paradoxical as it may seem, it is believed that the idleness of the mines during much of the year, while resulting in fewer lives being lost, nevertheless was partly responsible for the increased accident ratio on the basis of production. Underground operations tend to become more haz- ardous during periods of idleness, be- cause of increased likelihood of roof falls, gas accumulation, etc., as well as a lessening of the morale of the workmen, resulting in more frequent accidents when the men return to work
 Most of the fatalities were, as usual, due, to falls of roof and side, and haul age accidents. The year was remark ably free from large disasters, there being but five accidents killing five or more men each, resulting in a total of 34 deaths. These deaths con- stituted but 17 per cent of the years total of 1873 fatalities, lower record than for any year during the past decade.

ERECTING MONUMENT
 MEMORY JEFF DAVIS

FAIRVIEW, Ky, Feb. 2S.-Work on the Jefferson Davis monument at his birthplace here will be resumed when the weather conditions permit next spring, according to Major John H. Leathers, Louisville, treasurer of the Jefferson Davis Home Association. The shaft now stands 176 feet high and the association has every hope and ex- pectation that the monument will be completed to it's originally intended height of 351 feet, Major Leathers says.
 The custodian of the property has been directed to turn it over to the contractor, who has made prepara- tions to resume work, held up since early in the war, and who will push the construction as rapidly as pos sible
 The treasury now has $30,000 to spend on the monument. Major Leata- CTS says, and with the Daughters of the Confederacy actively engaged in raising the ,s2oooo estimated to be ne cessary to complete the work, plans for dedication of the completed monu- ment to the, first President of the Confederacy are being formulated slowly.
