COAL MINERS AND
SCIENTISTS UNITE

PITTSBURGH. Apr. Slime coal
dust and. moist air quickly increase
the hazards OF spontaneous combus-
ton, according to scientists, of the
Carnegie Institute of Technology and
the Pittsburgh station of the United
States Bureau of Mines. who have
been carrying on Investigations here
with an advisory board of coal OPP
orators and mining engineers.
Another conclusion set forth is that
mixing freshly mined coal with old
coal does not develop any more heat
than that derived from coal piled sep
arately.
A third conclusion is that most of
tho alloys available for use in coal
mine equipment are corroded extern
sively by the acid waters in mines.
Brasses containing zinc corroded rap
idly. while bronzes containing tin cor
rode more slowly. Cupro-nickel and
nickel-silver alloys have about the
same resisting power to the acids as
the brasses.
These reports mark the first mile
stone in the serious efforts of the coal
mining industry to stabilize mining in
cooperation with an educational in
stitution.

MINIMUM WAGE LAW
A FOR D. c. HELD INVALID

WASHINGTON. d. c., Apr. 9.-The
minimum wage law. by which Con-
gress sought TO regulate the minimum
wages TO be paid women and minor
girls in the District of Columbia was
declared unconstitutional today by the
Supreme Court
While the validity of none of the
state minimum wage laws was
directly under attack i'm the case. the
decision was regarded as of vital inn
portance. counsel agreeing that if
Congress had no constitutional rights
to enact such law in the District of
Columbia the right of the state leg
islators was called into question.
The constitutionality of the District
of Columbia measure was attacked on
the grounds that it abridged the free
dom o. contracts for personal serv-
ices and therefore was beyond legis-
lative discretion. 1t was defended as
measure to protect public health
and to preserve the morals and well
fare of the people.

A FOOLISH DEBATE

Clarence barrow and a teacher
of philosophy named ]. w. Dur
ant had debate in Kansas City
the other evening on the old
question, us Life Worth Liv-
mgr" The fact that death is in
evitable was perhaps the chief
argument advanced by Mr.. Oar
row, who took the negative side.
This really seems like an argu-
ment for the affirmative. If life
were not worth living we should
all be glad that death is newt
able and should spend much time
looking hopefully forward to the
blessed certainty of relief, if in
deed we did not take steps to
hasten it, To say that life is not
worth living because we are OBJ
liged to leave it is like saving
that childhood has no appeal be-
cause It will grow into age.
However, MIR. Darrow had TO
say something. being cast for that
side of the debate. He probably
would be as scared as ANYBODY
else if he had the flu"

''lay a curse" even had there
been belief in its efficacy.
The whole story IS the veriest
rot, but the readiness with which
il has been received even in some
scientific circles would seem to
indicate that we are, after al
not so far removed from the pc
Rod OF early belief in such mys-
terry as SOME OF us would like to
think. Barnum was right. but he
might have gone beyond the peo-
pie OF America and included the
whole world. We still whistle
as. we pass grave-yards at night
and we liked TO be fooled. or to
fool ourselves.

SUPERSTITION DIES HARD

The widely credited notion
that Lord Carnarvon. the emf
nent Psychologist, who died of
blood poisoning. the result of the
bite of an insect, is a victim of
the ancient curse of an Egyptian
king, whose tomb he opened. IL
Illustrates that superstition dies
hard. Not only the ignorant and
unlettered give credence to the
idea but apparently many people
who should know better.
Scratch the skin OF a civilized
man and you find a barbarian. {"
somebody has said, and it would
seem indeed that we have not got
so far from the days and WAYS
OF old-time Egypt when we per-
INIT ourselves anything but a
smile over the efficacy Of a myth
ical curse handed down through
a long line of centuries.
10 begin with. Egyptologists
know nothing of the LAYING of
such curses by the men who
built the tombs that have been
opened in recent years in such
numbers. Secondly. when these
kings were laid away in pomp
and glory the civilization OF
Egypt seemed as permanent as
that we know today and the rul-
ers had every ground for conf
dence in the continuity OF their
government because it had been
built up and maintained for cen
turtles. There was no need TO

PROSPERITY AS An TssUE.

The fact that prosperity is a
phenomenon that comes into be-
ing and dies without any partic-
ular regard for political parties
has never halted the practice Of
using its presence or absence rs
a talking point when it suits a
purpose. Secretary Weeks an
nounces that Mr.. Harding will be
elected by prosperity.
Prosperity may be fairly in
fluential campaign argument
without being very relevant. 1t
is often the case that it is ac-
cepted most when the record Of
the party employing it has not
been so good. 1t might easily be
inferred from the Weeks an
nouncement that the administra-
ton sees no very rosy prospect
of re-electing its man on the
strength Of his party's achieve
ment alone.
Prosperity is no respector Of
occasions; It happens in admin
istrations Of utterly different
compilations. Tight business pc
RODS similarly depend not at all
on the stripe Of political leader
ship in vogue at the moment, any
more than the weather is amen
