company to the scene. It was hoped that these men, wise in their calling, would be able to combat gas and water and fight their way through the fall of rock to the No. heading, where the entombed miners were at work when the blast came.
 The first inkling of an explosion to those on the surface was slight shock. A moment later cloud of black smoke drifted from the main en- try and the L.g fan ceased humming. Superintendent Hamilton. in charge of the mine, Knew what had happened and he flashed the word to Starford, town nearby. Miners off duty soon reached the scene and the work of organizing volunteer rescue crews was begun. The first rescue team had penetrated the wrecked passages, only few feet when they came upon six miners staggering along the heading. These men, suffer- ing from gas, were brought to the sur face and sent to the Dixonville hospital.
 The fan house of the mine was wrecked in 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, i'm peded the progress of volunteer res- cue workers, who dug valiantlyi in an effort to reach the entombed men.
 Dust Explosion
 Fighting their way through rising water, the rescuers made their way to- ward the sixth heading, but at head ing No. A.. they found a fall of rock, which, it was believed, extended back to the sixth. Halted by the fall, the miners used hammer to signal on an air pipe to their entombed fellow work CTS. But the signals were unanswered, and hope gave way to despair.
 On the surface there was the usual gathering of men, women and chil- dren. Stricken dumb by the disaster, they were unmindful of the intense cold, a heavy snow and a high wind The mercury stood at two degrees be- low zero
 After a careful check of the miners on the Lancashire pay roll. Superinten- dent Hamilton estimated that 45 miners had been trapped. While the cause of the explosion was not known. miners familiar with the workings expressed the belief that it was a dust explosion, as the Lancashire was known to be free from gas.
 shortly after noon word came from
 
 through the fall of rock had located the body of miner. The victim, it was said, had been caught under the caye-in and his life crushed out.
 The body was located just off the sixth heading and shortly after it was taken out the toiling miners broke through theNrock fall. Their hopes that the remainder of the workings was clear, was soon blasted when they came upon another .cave-in just inside the heading. Here they were delayed until timber. and canvas was brought in to. make brattices.
 The rescue ear .'Holmes' of the United States bureau of mines, manned by trained crew, left Pittsburg for Shanktown. scene Of the Lancashire mine explosion. at S:1S p. m. Penn sylvania railroad officials said all trains between Pittsburg and Cresson would be sidetracked for the special and that the run would be made in about three and half hours '

DENVER, Col, Jan. Character izing William J. Bryan as an unsafe guide in religious matters because he stopped thinking 25 years ago" and asserting that the fundamentalist is a fogeyist" and the modernist mud dler," the Right Rev. Fred Ingley, bishop coadjutor of Colorado, startled students at the opening session of the nid-winter conference of Episcopal stu dents here today.
 ".The fundamentalists is fogeyist," said the bishop, because he denies the fact of evolution and the human element of the Bible.''
 The modernist is a muddler and he has mot yet been able to decide what is superficial in religion.'

Young Men, Lay Up TIME as
You Would Lay Up MONEY
# You Want Leisure and Pleasure Later Work Hard Now

We all talk and think about saving money for use in the
future.
Money is important. TIME is more important
You cannot enjoy your money anything else unless you
have THE TIME TO ENJOY 1T.
Remember that hour saved by making one hour do
the work Of two Is better than dollar saved by making
one dollar do the work Of two
You know that You have five dollars in your pocket and
spend two and half letting your needs you have
two and half left to spend latet!
Do you realize that you do now in two hours and half
the work that you would do ordinarily azy and in eurey
fashion in FIVE hours you will have two and half hours
spend in leisure later7
Benjamin Franklin said: Employ thy time well thou
meanest to gain leisure"
The hours that you let drift by waiting for the time to
pass Watching the clock hours that you win bitterly
regret later.
you stood by stream Of money you wouldn't wait for it
ITO pass'-yOu would dip it up and keep it.
We standing by stream Of time and many Of us are
waiting for it Ito pass instead Of dipping up using it
eagerly.
Store that quotation from Franklin in your memory
good one.
That you may leisure pleasure LATER you must use
your time well now.
Every day that you really two days work in one means
pine day to spend please later And when you get older
days Of leisure viii be very valuable.
As matter Of fact day saved may only one
day but month year leisure later on For it is the
hard work that makes the GOOD WORKER and the good
worker goes ahead The man who says to himself IT will
make this day double day or triple day. the who
VIII go ahead outspping those around him that watch
time pass.
Work when working ought to be your pleasure; play
later when age win make leisure agreeable and necessary
thousand young men will read this saying Of Ben Franklin
Ninety will say, THAT is good; shall remember it,
About ten will really remember it and ACT upon it.
And later the ten viii be enved by the hundred and
