THE HOME RADIO
VII AERIALs AND HOW TO INSTALL THEM

One of the greatest advantages of
wireless telephone receivers Is that an
elaborate or expensive aerial is not
required. Although good sets with
vacuum bulb detectors may be- used
with an indoor aerial, or even with
a bedstead or wire springs as an
aerial, yet an outside aerial will al
ways give better results. AS I have
already mentioned, single wire will
do as well as several, the main thing

Mine MULE IS NOW
FAST DISAPPEARING
Modern Shaft With Electrical
Power Finds Little Use For
Faithful Friend.

WEST FRANKFURT, ILL.,, Sept. 16.
The mine mule, whEse history dates
back to the days OF early coal mining
in southern Illinois, gradually is dis
appearing just as is Old Dobbin, the
once familiar dray horse. With the
gradual disappearance of the faithful
hard tail" old miners are preserving
for posterity tales of pathos and sym
pathy for the once essential draft
animal of the mining industry.
Stories picturing the mule going
blind by constantly being kept under
ground and picturing the colt born
far below the surface are discounted
by the more truth-loving miners as
fairy tales and by the mine operators
as stories whose design is to lend a
touch of romance to the early history
Of coal mining.
The modern mine finds use for only
one mule, that for the distribution OF
powder after the miners have been
hoisted to the surface. This mule is
lowered to the bottom of the shaft,
but brought back up after completing
It's work and Is cared for In stable
above ground. Electrical power Is
used almost exclusively TOT hauhhs
coal carts under ground.
In the mines where the mule ia
still used extensively the animals are
brought to the surface frequently. In
rare instances, it is said, are the
mules kept in the pits for any length
of time. When work in the mines
is suspended, 1t Is a general custom
ia bring the animals to the surface
where they are kept in pastures until
the mines resume operation.
The only animals known to breed In
the shafts and pits are rats and
mice. These little rodents, however,
are often made pets OF the miners
for the reason that their presence In
dicates absence Of gas pockets. AS
long as the mouse or rat slips about
a certain place, the miner Is certain
to be free Of the gas danger.

Some Common Sense Talk On
The School Consolidation in Texas
By TN. Jones, Of Houston, Texas

The teachers and all the people
are entitled TO know facts, and the
facts are that practically every
special interest in the state had its
Representatives quartered in Austin
during the special session Of the
legislature to aid in defeating the
appropriations for the schools In
addition, they retained, at heavy
expense, special counsel TO plan and
manage the campaign, ostensihly
against increased taxation, but in
reality to prevent the further i'm
provement in the education system
The University was the institution
against which the main attack was
made for two reasons: The special
interests knew that II would be less
difficult to create prejudice against
that institution than some others,
and they also desired to prevent, if
possible, compliance with the con-
stitutional demand that university
of the first class be established.
We can make no substantial prog
ress in rural school conditions until
we know the enemies of public edu-
cation and understand their strength.
We must know that there are
special interests and large taxpay-
ers who are tired of paying taxes
to educate children of a lot of
