Quick Thinking Of

the quick action of Alton Haskell.
line man on the Androscoggin and
Kennebec railroad, Thursday after
noon about 2:30 as he was sinking
for the third time, in the Kennebec
river.
The boys, who had been playing
on the ice on the shore of the river
was noticed, fioundering in the water
back of the Cogan Hardware store
by Harold Casey. a iineman, who
was at that time working on top of
high pole back of the store. He
called to Haskell, tho foreman of
the line construction crew, who was
standing upon the ground about 200
feet from the scene Of the accident
and Haskell raced to the spot, reach
ing it in time to see the boy come
UP.
Haskell, with utter disregard for
his own safety. crawlcd out upon the
dead limb of a willow tree growing
upon the bank, and clinging by one
hand to the limb succeeded in catch
| ing the boy as he was going down
for the third time. He was hauled
ashore and after first aid to remove
some of the water which he had
swallowed. the hoy was sent to his
home. The action Of Haskell in
crawling out over the river on the
limb. was certainly a brave one as
he cannot swim.

ABOUT MINES AND MINERS

Miners trapped in underground ex
cavations during mine fires or afte
explosions may frequently save them
selves from the peril of deadly case
by the erection of barricades of cloth
board, coal or rock, states the De
partment of the Interior through tn,
Bureau of Mines, which has com
pleted a study Of the subject. TIL,
Bureau of Mines has a record of thu
saving of 275 lives in coal mines thru
the erection of barriCades. The bu.
reau is confident ,fthat hundreds OF
other lives might have been saved il
entombed miners had possessed a
thorough knowledge of barricade con-
struction.
After many mine explosions in Am
erica and in foreign countries ex-
animation has shown that many of
the men found dead had escaped the
violence and flame of the explosion
but had succumbed to the gases, call
ed afterdamp, left by the explosion.
The evidence collected shows that at
40 disasters lat persons, were kill
ed outright and 1891 were Overcome
by afterdamp. Sometimes miners
have travelled long distances from
their working places before meeting
deadly gases; and groups of men have
been found dead in remote section
to which they, had retreafed' to es-
cape the afterdamp. Again, men
have been found dead near a pile of
brattice material which they did not
use because they did not know that
a barricade would be of value After
the Reilly mine explosion in Pennsyl-
vania in 1922 several of the men res
cued said that they knew nothing
about the erection of barricades, and
there must be many miners unaware
of this method of escaping death.
The following practical recommen-
dations for the guidance of miners
entrapped at mine disasters are made |
by the Bureau of Mines:
When entrapped by gases from
fires or explosions, and forced back
into workings in which there is COM
paratively good air, keep uppermost
the thought of building a bulkhead or
stopping, a nd collect tools, timber,
canvas, water, dinner buckets, hay
from the stable, and anything else
that might be useful
If possible, barricade should be
near valve in the compressed-air
pipe line, if air is used. The valve
should be opened to furnish addi-
tional air. If there is no compressed
air. the next best thing for miners
behind barricade to do is either to
lie down or sit on the floor in the
hope that the rescue crew will find
them before they are overcome. In
this relaxed position they will breathe
much less air than if they exert them
selves.
AS soon as place is chosen for a
its erection should begin,
for the gases often travel quickly. !
The ventilation should be cut off as
soon as possible by the opening of
doors and the hanging of brattice

cloth or by the moving of a door Il
a new place acgoss an entry. TIL
permanent bapritade should be start
ed so to rs feet from the brattic'
cloth. Always barricade off as mucl
of an entry, room, drift, or cross-cu
as possible, so as to provide a maxi
mum quantity of air Before con
structings.a bulkhead make sure that
there is no many-way or other conf
nection with other workings through
which gaseS could come. At some
place outside of the first stopping, II
more than one stopping is built, place
a sign of some kind to show that
men are behind it.
: If barricade he made of Jumps of
coal, slate, or other rock, or ore,
build two walls two to three feet
apart and fill the space between with
finRt material or mud. The stopping
must kke alright. Board storpings
ape NOT as easily made gas-tig6ta as
those built of dirt or rock and dirt.
All chinks and holes in the barricaue
should be stopped with clay, rags,
clothes, and similar material
Coal miners should remember that
they should not barricade themselves
in any working or other place that
givessoff gas (methane), for fire damp
maE' accumulate and be ignited in
some way, causing the death Of the
whole party.
MI Of min ic lob
should be placed through the stopping !
and plugged at the inner end, in order |
that tests of the air outside the bar
ricade can be made by removing the |
plug.
After the barricade has been built,
in order to conserve the oxygen OF |
the air, the men should keep as quiet |
as possible. However, occasionally |
should walk around so as
10 mix the air. All the men should
not congregate in one place.
When the bulkhead is erected test
It for leaks by means of a candle or
carbide lamp. The~way in which the
lame of a lamp or candle burns will i
show the condition of the confined air
md how the oxygen is being used up.
All flame lamps should be extin-
,uished, in order not to consume any
more oxygen than necessary; also it
s desirable not to use oil, carbide and
electric batteries needlessly.
Men barricaded in a metal mine
nine should signal frequently by
bounding on the air pipe and on the
Jack of the rock drift; or, in coal
nine, by pounding on the rib or the
oof If, during their retreat from
,ases, miners find any chalk they
hould carry a piece with them. Dr.
ections for a relief party may be
written on doors, or an arrow may be
rawn to indicate the course the {
miners took in retreating. The flame +
f carbide lamp makes good letters !

$50,000 To Be Spent On Roy Bridge Route, Mont

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD AEnuAn.nu..n.... Ala nnA %

The state highway commission at a meeting today voted to spend $50, ,000 for a road from Montgomery to Mar bury along the line of what has been for some years the route of the Bir- mingham- Montgomery highway.
 When the highway commission sometime SEQ decided that the cross ing of the Alabama river on the Montgomery Birmingham highway should be at Reeses ferry, the result was to materially change the loca- tion of the southern part of the high way and to leave a number of towns, such ss Elmora, Deatsville and Speigner, off the highway. The Montgomery county board of revenue has been planning to take over the Roy bridge, private toll bridge over the Alabama on the route now used by trs velers between Montgomery and Birmingham and to abolish the tolls and local interests have made every effort to secure the mainte- nance of the old Birmingham Mont gomery highway from the Roy bridge to Marbury, it being near the latter point that the new highway will di- vert to go through eastern Autauga county to Reese's Ferry.
 This effort was successful today, when the commission voted to expend $5O,000 on the section of the high way from Marbury to Roy bridge and Montgomery, which would other wise have been abandoned upon com pletion of the Reese's Ferry route. As a result of this action when both projects are finished travellers from Birmingham to Montgomery will have the option of two routes below Marbury, on the present road in El- more county along the Louisville and Nashville railroad, crossing the Ala bama river at Roy bridge; the other ,fxr crossing at Reese's Ferry.

J. A. Christie. local salesman, is in jail with bail refused awaiting the grand jury action following his ar rest charged with the murder of Miss Lottie Kendrick, clerk at the state health department, who died from in- juries received when struck by Chris ties car last Thursday. There is a tendency locally to tighten up on reckless autoists, several deaths having occurred here recently where pedestrians were unable to get out of the way of automobiles. In Chris ties case witnesses declared his car was travelling at a rate of 35 to 40 miles an hour, drove into the safety zona in the downtown section and struok Miss Kendrick. Christie was unable to give a coherent account of the accident when arrested. The au- thorities regarded the tragedy as so inexcusable that 8 charge of mur- der was docketed against Christie in place of the usual charge of man sIaushter. Recorder Edward T. Gra- ham sustained this charge after the preliminary hearing today, ordering the defendant to be held to await grand Jury action without bail.
