AGE-OLD FLIGHT OF ARROWS
STILL IN THIS MANS
IDEA

SHERIDAN, Wyo., Jan 25. E.
w. (Bill) Ceilings, famed as Wyo-
ming's Cowboy artist, plans to
shoot big game this year with bow
and arrow, as did the Indians who
are the subjects of some Of his pic
lures.
The artist became interested in
archery year ago and has become
so skilful that he can pull and shoot
a 55-pound bow, thus making things
interesting for a rabbit or grouse
within reasonable distance. With
his tipped arrows he is confident he
will be successful in his hunt for big
game.
An arrow, shot unerringly and UNI
der favorable conditions. will pass en-
tirely through the body of a large
animal, while in many cases bullet
from a rifle will flatten out before
completely penetrating. Mr.. Ceilings
makes his bows of imported lemon
wood and flax strings. The ends are
tipped with COW horn. The arrows
he fashions from hardwood and tur-
key wings, tipping them with army
rifle cartridges from which the con-
tents have been removed.

the mine. The body of the son was
one of the first recovered. Through
out the night anxious relatives clung

SHANKToWN, Pa, Jan. 26 -
Hope for the lives of some 40 msners
entombed late today by an explosion
in the Lancashire mine of the Barnes
and Tucker Company here, was prac-
tically given up tonight when rescue
workers reported that the wrecked
mine was dense with "black damp"
and that water was rising rapidly in

The fan house of the mine was
wrecked by the terrific blast and the
fan was put out of commission. The
poison gas, the water, the lack Of
fresh air and heavy fall Of rock inn
peded the progress Of the volunteer
rescue workers who dug valiantly in
an effort to reach the entombed mn.

NEWSPAPERS TO BE DISPA TCH-
ED WITH FIRST CLASS NAIL

WASHINGTON, d. G. Jan. 29.-As
a result of several months Of invest
igation and study by experts of the
Post Office Department, Postmaster
General New today issued the first
definite, concise and complete pro-
gram that has ever been put out by
the Department for the mailing,
transmission and delivery OF news
papers
This order is most important. 1t
is far reaching. 1t gives the same
expedition to newspapers as is ac-
corded to fist class mail
The order is, the result of painstak-
ing effort on the part Of the Post Of
flee inspectors, under the direction Of
First Assistant Postmaster General
Bartlett. Carefully worded and min
ute instructions have been issued to
all employees engaged in handling
the mails, so that ther will be no res
sibility of misunderstanding the inn
portance Of getting newspapers to
the reader with a minimum delay.
The essence Of the order is that
newspapers shall not be mixed with
parcels post at any point in their
dispatch from the publishers Offices
until THAR delivery to the addresses.
Papers shall be handled by themsel-
yes, and kept in constant transit, not
being sent to railway terminals to be
reworked. In other words, they are
to be handled in the same manner as
first class mail
AM important feature Of the or
der is that no publication shall be
given any less efficient or less exped-
itious treatment than at present.
That means that publications other
than newspapers win not suffer one
iota from this progressive innova-
ton, made by the Post Office Depart
ment.
Another striking features of the
or is the elimination of sacks of mail
which are. known to the business
world as linked mail" Sacks of
mixed mail sometimes contain let
tiers, papers, and parcels post, and
often times the entire contents were
treated as parcels post. This order
will prevent recurrence of that con-
dition.
Another important feature of the
order is that posmasters are requir-
ed to notify publishers in each in
stance when they do not hit the dis
patch which they advertise to hit;
also to notify publishers Yhen they
are sending 10 wrong ADDRESSES and
to the addresses to deceased persons.
Publishers will also be notified when
they are putting up their mail in an
Incorrect manner.
Under the new stysem, newspapers
will be made up in seperate sacks
plainly Labeled with the word
NEWSPAPERS" If there are on
" "a few copies of newspapers at the
point Of dispatch, they will be placed
IL pouches with first class mail or
in seperate sacks, even though the
sacks are only partially filled.
This order means much to the A.
merican public 1t is one of the most
important and far reaching steps in
pose office history. 1t is for the bene-
fit of those who desire to have their
newspapers placed before them at
as early moment as possible. This
should keep both the city and rural
population in closer and quicker
touch with their several fields Of ac-
tivities.
