Ohio School Head

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. "a
Much criticism Is being aimed at
colleges because so many students
are taking courses for which they
are not fitted" declared DR.. w.

1T Is the duty OF the secondary
schools to discover the line Of en-
deavor for which the student Is
best equipped.
The charge has been made that
colleges and universltyles are filled
with drones, idlers, shirkers and
social climbers. Persons OF this
nature are found In all walks OF
life. For this reason such charge
cannot be adequately made against

Defective Fuse I
Takes Two Lives
Tragedy at Old Dominion
AS Result of Accident
in Tunnel

Robert L. Skinner, aged 81, and
Gust Peterson, aged as, miners, were
instantly killed by premature blast
at the Old Dominion mine last Sat-
urday at p. m.
The crew in the lower tunnel was
engaged in setting the blast just
before the close of the shift. Super
intendent AL Lynch lighted the fuse,
which spurted instead of burning
slowly. He called to the men to
get out, but the explosion came be-
fore the three men could escape.
Skinner's head was crushed beyond
recognition and Peterson's skull was
fractured and the face terribly lacer-
ated. Lynch, who was closest to the
blast, in some miraculous manner es-
capped, and was discovered by others
who rushed to his assistance. Lynch
was crawling on hands and knees,
was partially unconscious, and was.
found to have broken rib. He in
sisted on getting into his car and
driving several miles to a telephone
where he notified Colville of the
accident.
Those who Immediately went to the
mine We're Harry Ogle, Theron
Lynch, Paul LaPlant, Justin LaPlant,
DR.. X. G. Mckay, Quinn w. Nc
Cord and Stanley Cory. The. bodies
of Skinner and Peterson We're taken
to the undertaking parlors and Mr..
Lynch was driven to his home, where
he suffered from shock all night. He
is getting along nicely.
A defective fuse is the only ex-
planation that can be found for the
accident. W. H. Linney, president
of the Old Dominion company, ar
rived Sunday to investigate, and
could find no other explanation.
There was no element of careless
ness or lack of precaution on the
part of the men. It is said that the
best quality of fuse was being used,
and Mr.. Lynch was personally light
ing the fuses. His escape from
greater injury is sunexplainable, as
he was closest to the explosion.
Skinner Veteran
Robert L. Skinner, who was very
we'll known in Colville, was a native
of Springfield, Illinois, where he
leaves brother William Skinner and
a sister Mrs. Harriet Gadert. He
has a brother Fred Skinner in Chi
cago, and was a cousin of John
O'Neill, rancher on Mill creek.

der Mrs. Ray Lowman, he gave evil
dence of such promise that instruc-

WHEN FATHER STARTS TO START

On Saturday, our mother says: an hurry up
make some doughnuts and some sandwiches and
maybe bake cake, and then wcll get up early
in the morning, and we'll go and have picnic in
the woods, out 20 miles or so.'
And father smiles. and says ooh, fine!
know dandy spot, where there's a shady little
stream. with fishing like as not The kids can go
in wading. Set the clock to ring at g. There's
several little things about the car want to fix"
And father, he rolls out of bed soon as
mother calls and grabs cup of coffee and his old
blue ovcralls, and disappears in the garage. He
says: 81 won't be long. There's just little some
thing in the steering gear that's wrong"
We children gulp our breakfast down, be-
cause we're in hurry, but mother says: "You
needn't rush. There's lots of time Don't worry,
for when your father starts to work on loosened
screw he'll find a million other things he thinks
he's got to do
But mother packs the baskets full and wash
es all our faces, while father tunes the motor up
and puts il through its PAGES. And every now and
then he yes: "Who took the smallest wrench? /
know left it here last week, right on this very
bench"
He finds bolt is loose beneath the axle in
the back, and then he has to fix the brakes and
tighten up the slack. He thins the carburetor down
until she starts to cough and then drains the crank
case, which, he says, he should have done before,
and fills her up with brand new oil. Us Kids are
getting sore but father says he's got to keep the
good old boat well oiled else she's sure to over
heat and something will be spoiled.
BY now it's nearly IL o'clock Us children are
in tears when father puts his tools away. There's
grease in both his ears but he is satisfied. he says
'SRe's now all tight and steady. ! guess I'll have
to go wash up. But, say, is breakfast ready?"
Then mother feeds him, though she looks as if
she'd like to hit him, and says that II he doesn't
stop his tinkerng she'll quit him. AT last we're OH
upon the road joyful, happy bunch, all watching
for shady place for it's time for lunch
But mother and us kids feel sure that father
finds more fun in working on his dear old car than
on country run. We only wish that he would give
his family some warning when he is going to take
il all to pieces Sunday morning!
