There is one nuisance that comes
with the winter months that tie
forefathcrs Of this country did not
have to endure and that is loose
automobile skid chains. In the city
of Watcrville there Is hardly an hour
goes by but what several of these
cars go clalling up and down the
main thorouGhfare. This may be en-
Cusable but most people believe that
the driver is little lazy an does
not want TO get out and tighten up
tho offensive part Of his automobile.
Poems have been written about the
tingling Slcighbell but 1t does not
seem as though any poet could get
inspiration from loose auto chain.
One chief Of police in n New England
city has become . provoked over
this custom that he has ordered hts
force to stop every car with loose
chains and accompany the driver to
the nearest garage.

Miners TAUGHT Rescue Work

Courses in mine rescue and first
aid methods are being conducted by
the bureau of mines in 80 states and
Alaska. Director II. Foster Balm
said in his annual report. More than
100, 900 miners have completed the
courses in instruction since 1910.
although the bureau can say posi-
lively that widespread explosions OF
coal dust no longer should occur"
Director Balm declared. "the fact re-
mains they do continue, accounting
for 3li. or nearly IS per cent. of the
total deaths in the mining industry
in 1922.
Two effective methods for pre-
venting the spreading through a
coal mine Of a minor initial ex-
plosion have been demonstrated by
the bureau. The first is to wet the
dust SO thoroughly that no dry
dust remains in the mine. The sec
ond Is to dilute the coal dust, or
other non -infamable dust so that
flame Will not pass from point to
point"
