CARTRIDGES USED
IN MINES MUST BE
LARGER, IS RULING
False Economy Leads To
Damage, Federal Bureau
Declares
WASHINGTON RV3EArt
THE AGE-HERALD ;
Washington. y. G., June 0

Alabama mine operators must III
the future use cartridges of larger
calibre in mining coal If they are to
meet the regulations of the govern
ment. The bureau Of mines. after
large experimentation. announces
what it terms great discovers,
namely that much Of the damage
done in mining in the past may be
traced to the explosion of cartridges
Of small calibre used from a false
idea OF economy.
The tests have resulted in one of
the greatest discoveries ever made
by the bureau. and will prove to be
a piece of the most valuable work
ever done by the organization. DR..
Monroe says. If mine operators and
other users of high explosives in
blasting and other similar work are
guided by the conclusions reached,
and now being made public by the
bureau in it's official, technical re-
ports. DR. Munroe believes that they
will effect greater economy as to ex-
pense. secure increased efficiency
and, above all, greatly improve the
safey of mining.
'sMisfiring'' Causes Damage.
"One of the most serious and dam
ge-ous things in the use of ex-
plosives," DR. Munroe said today, lis
the 'misfiring' or the failure TO fire.
of cartridges, which so often occur
in the use Of small diameter charges.
These must be eliminated.
THE bureau has found that the
size of the cartridge used is vital
in order to effect further economies.
additional efficiency, and increased
safety. The tests recently completed
proves that we cannot get efficient
work from an explosive when it is
confined in narrow diameter car
fridge. Heretofore, explosive users
have believed that they could save
money by doing a small amount of
work in digging small holes for small
cartridges. That has now been
proven to be false economy.

Eyeglasses worn by nine presidents
Of the United States are owned by
DR.. Frederick A. Stengel of Marion,
whose chief hobby is collecting curios.
The Oldest pair in the group is that
which surmounted Thomas Jefferson's
lose in 1901. when Jefferson was fifty
eight. Doctor Stengel purchased the
glasses from an aged Virginian who
lived near Monticello, JeffersOn's home.
This pair has a metal frame. OF con-
temporary interest is President Hard
lng's first pair, which Stengel himself
fitted, when that president was editor
of the Marion Star and never dreamed
Of some day becoming the chief execu-
tive. Harding selected a shell frame,
Oxford style, when it became neces-
sary to reinforce his vision. Glasses
used by Theodore Roosevelt, too, who
was nicknamed -Four Eyes when as
a beardless youth he sought to recover

not follow New York and shoulder the
responsibility of enforcing the prohibit
ton laws upon the federal govern
ment alone. Governor Nestos said in
opening a conference of states attor.
neys and other law enforcement Of
dcers.
"The enforcement of the prohibition
laws Is the joint responsibility of the
states and the nation" the governor
said. Neither the executive nor the
people of North Dakota have any SYM
pathy with the views expressed by the
officials of some Of the eastern states.
some OF whom have given votes to doc
trines and political theories that have
scarcely been raised in these United
States, during the past half century
and which I believe to have been
buried by the saRguinary conflict OF
six decades ago. North Dakota has no
disposition to shirk its responsibility
or to fail to go its share in the great
work OF maintaining the supremacy
Of the constitution and in enforcing
respect for an obedience to the laws
OF the land"

FIND NO TRACE OF
FRENCH C0LOlllSTS
Recent Discoveries in Florida
Indicate Massacre.

Bones of white men in an Indian
burial mound on Miami beach n a
Few scant traces of an apparent
French settlement near Lemon City,
Fla, have aroused the speculation of
citizens and scientists of Florida. The
mysterious origin and fate of the set.
Element have given renewed interest to
old legends that have survived on the
Florida coast through the centuries.
Edward F. Flannery, writing in the
Miami Herald, describes o steps
discovered some time ago In Garden
Isle Park, buried under debris. They
have been carved out of the natural
coral formation there. The steps lead
from a lower level Of ground which is
at present the same level as the shore
OF Little river, TO a higher Level OF
ground. There four steps are carved
In an artistic way entirely different
from anything likely to have been con
structed by Indians. Nearby in the
same rock is cut an opening which evil
IDENTIFY served as an oven.
Across Biscane bay from this APP
parent site of a colony is an Indian
burial mound, which contains skele-
tons of white men, scientists who have
made a study of them assert.
Ferney w. McVeigh, on whose estate
the stone steps were discovered, has
concluded that O. French settlement
was established there late in the Fiji

left st. Augustine. History shows that
st. Augustine had som internal
troubles at that time which resulted
in the migration of discontinued fac
tions to Southern Georgia, and il is
possible that some went to other parts
of Florida.
Mr.. McVeigh believes there existed
IN the vicinity of Little river a race
of Indians which subsequently disap-
peared. They are often characterized
as mound builders.
From the faint evidences remain
ing, some have reasoned that the In
dams were about To attack the set
Element, and that the women and chill
dren and older men were sent across
the bay. The Indians. victorious in
the battle, crossed the bay and mas
sacred those who had fled, burying
the bodies after their own customs.
Another assumption is that the
colony was exterminated by plrates.
Many years ago, it is said, a pirate Of
the Spanish Main retired to a little
home in Orlando. and told his oldest
son of how he and other pirates mas
sacred a French colony near what is
now Miami beach. Recent discoveries
have tended to give support to this
old legend.
None of the old coast legends have
explained how the colony came into
being. In addition to the theory that
1t was formed by people from st. Au-
gustine, there is support for the con-
lecture that ~colonists from Haiti may
have founded the settlement in the
troublous times of Toussaint l. Over.
