Science

Scientific mining. including better
protection for miners, is one Of the
big problems of the day.
There have been many mine disas-
ters in the United States in recent
years. Certain lessons have been
learned in each instance, yet little
has been done to take advantage Of
these costly experiences, because Of
public and official apathy.
II England, the Government IS
making great scientific efforts to i'm
prove the conditions under which
coal miners work, as well as to con-
serve the supply. In support Of this
policy there is a complete coal mine
in operation at the British Empire
Exhibition, Wembley Park, London.
Electric machinery can take down
into this mine 1000 visitors an hour
These people see the miners at work
and inspect the equipment for their
safety and comfort, which is the
same as in actual mines. The his
tory of coal mining is told to visit
ors through a complete assemblage
of models Of mines and the machines
used in working them.

(TT1 HERE really is pleasure in
watching mere youth out f1irr-
- in with fresh, open air. You
can't help but know, when it comes
down to truth, that they're trappin'
good health in its lair.
The youth Of today are the old,
after awhile, and the strength that
they build, seems to me, means
much, years to come, to the rank
and the file and to what this great
cOuntry's to be.
Let's turn to the sandlots, no
matter just where, and what Will we
generally find? Real youth in its
glory is bound to be there, filled with
pep Of the genuine kind.
There's exercise plenty and laugh
ter galore; real contests of strength,
now and then. And youth plays
around till its muscles are sore as
it's building to women and men.
No wonder there's pleasure in
watching mere youth No wonder
the grownups will smile. Whatever
the world is today, it's the truth
that with health, twill improve, aft

to housekeepers, but is to be found
about hearths and fireplaces, and es-

heat-loving propensity, it is some
times called "fre-brat." These

Lighter Craft Necessary

A more mobile type Of vessel had
TO be evolved. Hence the cruiser.
The cruiser developed. too. Some
thing still handler was required. The
destroyer was the answer to this
need
Today the situations like this:
The battleship is a navy's real
strength. Cruisers run its errands
and destroyers run the cruisers
errands.
Suppose the feet asembled-not
scattered over the seas, each ship or
small fotilla on some separate mis-
sion. but in a compact body-ready
to fight
The tattleships will bear the en-
gagement's brunt.
The destroyers are scouts. The
cruisers support them.
AS scouts. the first duty of both
cruisers and destrOyers is to obtain
information for the battleships.

We're Far Behind

The American critic adds;
1--WE Are Nineteen 10.o00-Ton
Cruisers short OF our s. In the SOB
Ratio"
America has no battle cruisers,
but most big fleets have.
The battle cruiser is a battleship
in offensive strength, but has lighter
armor for the sake Of greater speed.
Its task is to "crash through
hostile line at such moments as
sometimes arise in an enga cement
when a battleship is too slow and a
light cruiser too weak to achieve de
sired results.
The submarine - meaning the
cruising pattern and not the strictly
coast defense type-is guerilla
fighter when detached from its fleet;
it becomes a sharpshooter in a
general engagement.
The submarine fotilla, running at
the surface. should be able to keep
up with all but the swiftest vessels
Of it's fleet on a cruise. But these
craft are frail. AS soon as fighting
begins they must submerge, to
escape destruction by the enemy s
guns.
Under water they're bound to be
left behind, but their commanders
must try to guess al the right places
to disappear, so that the engage
ment. as it progresses, will sweep
hostile ships in their direction. Even
# they fire not torpedo, if they
succeed in hampering the foes
movements, through fear of them,
they've done their work.

Aircraft are a fleet commanders

position and movements to him be
yond the range of his strongest
telescope. They spot enemy sub.
marines. They do their best to
damage enemy vessels by dropping
explosives where they'll do the most
good. And Of course they fight
among themselves.
They're even newer than the sub
marines. UnquestiOnably they're
very important, but the exact ex'
tent Of this importance hasn't been
fully estimated yet.
A few enthusiasts rate them
almost ahead of capital ships. More
