PLANS FOR PARLEY
ON MINE SAFETY
Coolidge to Call Conference
of Experts in Capital
Early Next Year.
Ry the Associated Press

Ry the Associated Press
Means of reducing the loss of life
in the coal mining industry will be
considered at a national conference
to be called early in the new year by
President Coolidge
Steps already have been taken by
the Department of the Interior and
its Bureau of Mines to arrange a pro-
gram for the conference and the in
vitations to the gathering will be
sent out soon after governors elect
in the coal states have taken office.
All of the states in which coal is
mined viii be asked to send repre-
sentatives, these states including
Pennsylvania. West Virginia. Nir-
ginia, Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Ken
lucky, Tennessee. Alabama. Utah,
South Dakota and Wyoming.
The frequency of coal mine explo-
sions with great losses of life. to-
gether with the ordinary hazards of
the industry, have led to a conclusion
on the part of the President and In
terror Department officials that the
Federal Government might properly
seek the cooperation of the states in
promoting greater safety to coal
mine workers.
The governors of all of the princi-
pal coal-producing states are TO be
asked to send representatives.. and. as
Federal and State authorities and
representatives of the management I
and of the workers in the industry.

Gray Hairs

I'm old and gray said James J.
Jay, and SO ! have no place; youth
must be served, and age, unnerved,
must in the discard chase. Men
Wanted signs my eye devines, as |
tramp fro and to; but when | ask
for some cheap task, they tell me
am through. Young husky lads, not
ancient dads. say merchants, we re-
quire; it's yours to wear an easy
chair and slippers by the fire. You're
done, old scout, you're petered out,
employers all explain; you're bent
and weak, it's time to seek the bone
yard in the lane From store to
store, on fetlocks sore, l toll, to
seek job; at every coop they hand
me soup-excuse me while ] sob. y
Yet, now and then | see old men
still busy i'll the mart; they draw
good pay; though old and gray,
they're young enough at heart. They
don't insist that every twist of mod
ern days is wrong; they don't de-
plore the days of yore, and so they
still belong. Old men are prone to
sigh and groan DER all things new
they see; they gaze with tears
through vanished years to show
how things should be. They're fired
from stores because they're bores
with their: bewhiskered tales, they're
fired from shops because their
yawps don't fit where pep prevails.
Just keep in step with modern pep -
! cry to James J. Jay, "and you will
get a good job yet, and draw down

At that time Justice Marshall. fail

quire about it. Nothing was known
of it there. Court clerks who were
questioned knew nothing OF the stay.
If the official papers were not forth
coming the execution, according to
law. would have to be held, Warden
Thomas said.
Failing to find trace of the lost
document, Justice Marshall immediate
ly busted himself to find another way
out. He got into touch with Gov.
Donahey on a telephone, advised him
of the situation and the chief execu-
tive Immediately granted a reprieve
until January s. The word was. passed
on to Warden Thomas and Kane, as a
result, Will live at least until the

Patrick's day is far off. and Fred
erick Petrello Is not Irish, but he
so keenly resented slurring re-
marks made about his new green
shirt yesterday that he stabbed
Louis Pasquarello, IA, his friend

slight and Pasquarello is resting
easily in his Home in Brooklyn.
Playful banter greeted young
Petrello's colorful shirt yesterday.
The interchange of remarks be-
came more serious just at the
moment when Petrello was sharp
ening his pencil with a penknife.
In return for a particularly eff
fective gibe, which led the girls in
the class to laugh, Pasquarello re-
Ceived an imprecation, and the
knife in his abdomen. Thirty
pupils in the room Joined in the
victims howl.
Petrello was sent to the prin-
cipal by the teacher, Miss Elsie
Heyman, and Pasquarellos after
receiving attention at the office Of
DR. Goldbush, was sent home.
Petrello was later arrested and is
being held on a charge of juvenile

FEDERAL CHECKS FORGED
Moran Says Secret Service Must
Be Increased.

Forgery of Government checks is
an important industry and the Secret

meet the situation, w b. Moran
chief of the Secret Service Division,
told the House appropriations COM
mittee which drafted the Treasury
appropriation bill, submitted yester-

The Secret Service in asking for an
appropriation under the bill is going
on the assumption that crime ac-

this.
Forgery of Government checks,
Government registered bonds and war
savings stamps. Mr.. Moran declared,
has added materially to the work of
the Secret Service, and its duties also
have been augmented by prohibition

printing establishments furnishing
counterfeit strip stamps and labels.

 Lewis s. Stone is co-featured in the role of Stewart Cuyler, a rich man whc makes a play" for the vampire, but is finally ensnared in the meshes of true love for her younger sister, Fay, thereby giving rise to a situation which the au. thor has solved in striking manner.

LABOR MORE EFFICIENT NOW Rail Employes And Other Have Re-
 covered From Wartime Slump

One sound reason for growth in pros perity in this country today is the greater efficiency of the laboring man. The United States Steel Corporation re- ports that last year, the men in its manufacturing departments produced eighty-two tons of finished steel per man as against seventy eight tons in 1922 and fifty mine tons in 1921. That was an improvement of nearly 40 per cent in two years. The best years of the corporation were 1915 and 1916, when production was eighty-four and eighty three tons pei. man. That followed the severe depression in business incident to the outbreak of the war.
 The Bell Telephone company, employ ing different type of labor, finds that its efficiency in New York is now up 10 about s per cent of what it was in 1915-the high water mark for that company also. This is an advance from about 50 per cent effiency within the past few years, or as much as in the case of the steel corporation. Almost all employers of labor have noted this same tendency, although few have such accurate statistics as those of thes two NOhipuAACo to oAOW tAc S4tclkt Ol II.
 The most remarkable result of this, coupled with efficiency in operation in other quarters, has been the showing made by the railroads since they were turned back to private control of opera tions. Unable for years to secure much new capital for enlargement of their facilities, they faced last year the larg- est business that had ever been offered to them and they handled this record business with less delay and difficulty than they had eyer handled their traffic before Shippers, who during and after the war spent good part of their time tracing shipments, no longer give any thought to that matter. Manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers, who used to keep their plants and shelves stocked with raw products and finished goods, get deliveries over the railroads with out delay. The story of this accom- plishment of the railroads is one of the romances of American business, yet it would not have ben possible except for the greater efficiency of the workmen on the railroads.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-11-30

The production is beautifully mount ed and contains innumerable dramatic thrills. It is based on magazine story by Adela Rogers St. Johns, former newspaper woman. -.
 Alfred E. Green, director of 'In Hollywood With Potash and Perlmut- ter" also directed this Hollywood story, and Arthur Edeson, famous for his photography of "The Lost World, was at the camera. J. G. Hawks wrote the screen continuity.
 What to go to "wild party" in Hollywood
 You can, at least, be an .onlooker at one by going to. the Trianon theater where "Inez From Hollywood is show ing. It is midnight swimming party at the home of Inez Hollwood's most mo- torious vampire" which is raided by the police. The story brings out the diff ference between the real selves of the personages on the screen and their per sonalities as imagined by the public and depicted in the sensation-seeking press
