FIGHT MINE FIRES WITH MUD
Experience Has Shown That Is as
Practical a Method as Any
Known.

Fighting fires In mines Is a slow.
tedious Job and since the dawnlng OF
mining has been considered almost a
hopeless undertaking. Rich mines in
many parts OF the world nave been
burning for generations. Underground
fires no longer are considered un-
quenchable. In the Butte district a
process OF fire fighting has been de-
yeloped by a mining company which Is
~salyaging an ore body of tremendous
extent. Fires that have been burning
for Is years IN three connecting mines
are being smothered under 100000
tons OF mud.
At the end of 1922 100000 tons OF
metalliferous ore. containing, accord

Sand, deeomposed rock and other
materials which came originally from
the Slopes and we're discarded as tall

ton, simply have been turned back

many cases has proved It's uselessness

regions. 100 to 300 feet under

the abandoned drifts, c~ross-cuts and
slopes and literally smothers the fire.

interesting to AreheoIoolsss.

A Roman-British grave has Just
been discovered on Ham bill, Somer-
set. England. On the east side Of the
Roman encampment was unearthed
the complete skeleton of a young
adult, probably a male. The grave
was about two feet In depth, lying due
north and south, the head and shout
ders being inclosed by slabs OF Ham
stone. On the right Of the head lay a
shallow dish of Roman-British black
pottery. This was broken In three
places, probably by the super-encum-
bent earth, but with the exception Of
a small portion of the rim 1t was pos,
sible to restore II. Near the head lay
a crude and barbarous copy of a Third
or Fourth century A. D.. Roman brass
coin. This had probably been placed
In the mouth to enable the dead man
TO pay his fare to Charon. the ferry
man, for taking him across the Styx.
Near the right hand of the skeleton
lay an oval hammer stone or FOUNDER.

MARRIAGE

DID 1t ever occur TO you that man

happiness in marriage as temperament.
and that many a separation laid to in
compatibility vas due more than TO
anything else TO plain bad manners on
the part Of the two persons most con
cerned?
And good. manners are made up Of
attention TO a lot Of seemingly little.
trifiing things. For instance, there Is
the matter of lnterruptIng. Every
one knows this is bad form. and most
persons guard against interrupting
mere acquaintance, associates In busi-
ness or society; but they are not so
careful about i~nterruptlng members OF
their own family. And a time comes.
after you have been Interrupted again
and again. when il begins 10 %lrrltate

there Is the habit Of contradicting. You
guard carefully against fatty contra

NEW YORK. Sept. Z. Omitted
Press)eJack Dempsey viii have sew
eral advantages over Luis Firpo
when they meet in New York on
September IA for the worlds heavy,
weight championship. His physical
advantages are several and they
may be overcome. but his mental
edge hardly car be removed as a
tremendous factor.
Tho champions physical advant-
ages consist of greater experience.
more knowledge of fighting as 1t is
followed in the orthodox way and
superior boxing skill. These are
known assets.
Dempsey may and may not be rs
strong as Firpo. Perhaps he is not
as strong in brute power. Dempsey
may be able to hit harder than F1rpo
but that is open to doubt.
The champion is better with his
left hand than the South American
and he is a faster puncher. but II he
hasn't the strength to topple over
FIrpo the one right hand of the
South American will be better than
his two.
When It comes to mental qualifi-
cations. as mentality is applied to
fighting the champion has all the
edge by a big margin. Champions.
as a rule. have hat mental edge be-
cause the opponent is bound to get
into the brain trap that he is fight
ing the champion.
Dempsey has no doubts. as far as
II is possible to discern, that he a
beat any fighter in the world. Firpo
cannot feel the same way, as he
must know, down deep within him
self, that he is carrying the big
handicap of a comparative novice
against n skilled artist.
Firpo has given unmistakable evil
dence that he feels he is o sure to
walk out OF the ring after he walks
in. Perhaps he had reasons for want
ing Tex Richard to postpone the
fight for another year. with twelve
more months in which to capitalize
his standing as tho next opponent
for Dempsey. he could have picked
up at least a quarter of n million
dollars. and the Angel sure does love
his money.
It might be that Firpo really be-
lieves that he can whip Dempsey
and that his desire for more time
waa inspired purely by mercenary
motives. Mentally alert as he is.
however. Firpo could not help but
be affected by the statements of his
trainer and his friends that he faced
