stantly widening field Of ederalfegislation has mull4-
tiplied cases Of sorts which under the old legislaS
ton the litigants could in effect compel the supreme
court to hear. even though the court could fnd-inS
them no new question Of law. Income taxes and
prohibition are merely two Of a number Of new
questions that give rise to numerous cases. Legis-
lation Of 1916 somewhat increased the courts con-
troll over the cases coming before it, but did not
bring them within manageable bounds. The result
is that the ordinary case cannot be heard for fifteen
months after it reaches the supreme court, and last
year the court was not able to keep even with its
docket, ending the year about 20 per cent farther
behind than in October, 1921.
The supreme court made three of its members
a committee to suggest means for reducing the
number Of cases that in the future reachithe courts
docket. This committee recommended that con-
gress should still further enlarge the courts power
to prevent cases coming before it which, in its opin-
ion, do NOT raise important questions of law that
have been undecided. Bills for this purpose are
pending in congress.

tempt to pacify a disappointed and doubling client
by declaring the case should be carried to the SUI
preme court is in a fair way, to become increasingly
obsolete.-The Nations Business.

COAL MINE EXPLOSIONS

: In, a statement issued by the director of the
|Bureau\of Mines there is a review of the series of
explosions which have occurred during the past
lew weeks, and a discussion of their. probable
causes. Attention is called to the fact that in the
three months following the five months strike i'll
the coal mines there have been six disastrous explo-
|sions, which have killed 1876 men and II INJURED more
than $50 others. 49,
Investigations are now under way to determine
the causes of these explosions, and what means, if
any, may be taken to prevent others. In the mean
time, it is suggested that aside from the usual sea-
sonal hazards, which are greater in the winter, much
'of the responsibility must be placed on conditions
arising-from the strike. Since the resumption of
work every effort has been put forth to- produce
the maximum quantity of coal. and when activity is
intensified many of the usual safeguards are likely
to be overlooked.
The strike has resulted in a lowered morale IN
Change in personnel and shifting of miners to mines
with which conditions they are not familiar is at
other factor listed. a
Lowered morale and consequent lessening of
care on the part of the individual is indicated by the
number of accidents caused by the falling of roofs,
or Of coal falling at the working face, things which,
are controlled entirely by the working miner. In
the matter of explosions it is held that there is a
collective responsibility which begins with the care
less workman and continues to the operator who
permits working conditions which the extension of
a local explosion to one which becomes general
throughout the mine. Chief among these latter
factors is the presence Of dust, which has been DEM
frustrated to be highly explosive.
AS an indication Of The ultra-conservatism o.
those who become habituated to an industry it is
stated that for years both miners and operators
iridicuied the idea that coal dust isexplosive, moth
withs.anding abundant demonstrations Of that fact.

ANOTHER TERM NEEDED

A young woman in Moscow, needing a pair of
shoelaces, was offered a pair for two million rubles.
She refused to buy, saying that two million rubles
was as much as she could earn in a whole day. A
news dispatch says that the common laborer in Mos
cow earns about 75,000,0 900 rubles a month, if he is
lucky enough to have a job for a full month. If
the impression still clings that the ruble is some
thing which has actual and appreciable value, as it
had when it was worth on the market about SO
cents, American, such figures convey the idea of in
wealth. Yet the monthly income of the
Moscow laborer would buy him about three dozen
pair of shoelaces.
The astronomers handle figures to much bet
ter purpose. The distances with which they have
to deal are so immense that. stated in the terms
of our amiliar measurements, the results would be
both clumsy and meaningless 1t takes too many
figures to write trillions and d~ecillons and when
they are written they have no meaning for us. Hence
a new Technology has been invented. Instead Of
stating the enormous distances in space in miles,
which would be like measuring the ocean by
thimblefuls, the astronomers use the term light
year" instead. A light year represents the distance
which can be traversed by a beam of light in one
of our years, going at its accustomed rate of about
8 5000 miles per second. Manifestly. by the use
of this form, distances otherwise understandable can
be stated by the use of a few figures, and the re-
suit is more satisfactory. 4 T. -
The Soviet government might do a good job
by devising a new currency, with the smallest unit
representing the approximate value now represented
by a million rubles. The people would have less
paper to carry around. 4

During October twenty thousand German
marks could BE purchased for an English pound.
Before the war twenty marks could be exchanged
for one pound. The German marks is therefore
worth about one-thousandth OF its pre-war value.
If there is anything in the theory that has found
expression i'll several of our political campaigns, and
to which a good many people still cling fondly, that
abundance of money means good times, the Ger
mans should now be fairly reveling in prosperity.
One basis on which the cheapening of our
money has been urged is that such a process would
benefit the man who is in debt. Obviously, it is
easier to pay a debt with cheap dollars than with
dear ones, and there is always a strong feeling that
the debtor is entitled to the sympathy and aid of all
other people.
1t is a fact that an abundance of cheap money
money, of course, which is made full legal tender
facilitates the payment of debts. Doubtless during
the pastJtlree or four years there has been in Ger
many an enormous payment of debts. To that ex-
tent we may say that the German debtor has been
benefited. But what does it amount to? The de-
fpreciation of the mark has created a condition in
Germany which strikes at the roots of all prosperity.
The incentive to save is gone. The thrift which
once characterized the nation has vanished. The
spiritual structure of the nation has disintegrated.
Instead of being prosperous the German people are
suffering untold disaster, and it is disaster which is
deepened and broadened by every new cheapening
Iof money. The conditions there give the lie to, the
theory that cheap money can be the basis of pros
perity.

RECOGNIZING HERo1sM.

Awards OF medals and money have recently
been made to telephone employees who have dis
'tinguished themselves by specially faithful and val
liable service under unusually trying circumstances.
The list OF awards makes but brief mention of the
special service performed by each '%ernploye, but,
brief as the description is, it presents in summary
a record Of herois1ls. of which the members of any
craft may well be proud.
There are few persons who deal so directly
with such a great number of people as do the op-
orators in the telephone exchanges, and while their
contact with the public is less direct, other en-
ployes Of the telephone companies are constantly
performing work on the promptness and e~xactness
OF which the orderly progress Of the affairs of thou
sands -f people depends. And there are few per-
sons whose service is taken SO much for granted,
and to whose existence as individual members of
Nsociety the public takes SO little thought.
Yet when the time Of stress and danger comes,
it is usually found that the work of warning, of
frescue and Of relief has been made timely and efec-
tive because of the self-sacrifce of some telephone
|%etnploye who has scorned comfort and risked life in
order that the lines of communication might be
kept open.
Money cannot buy this kind of service, and
medals cannot compensate for it. Yet it is refresh
ing to note, occasionally, that the same human
spirit that has impelled humble individuals to cast
aside thoughts Of personal safety in order that 9TH
ers might be served, also animates those who con-
ltrol great enterprises, and causes them to note and
TO appreciate these acts Of nobility, and to recognize
them in a sympathetic and appropriate way.
