Park. AS many times as they like
they can ride for "a penny a whack"
or everything that moves at the
park.
Managers Coulter and Goodman
have made preparations for 35 900,
a crowd heretofore unsurpassed.
They had a lot Of fun last year on
the same offer, every ride a penny"
but this year the added attractions
at the park and the improvements
generally will attract as never be-
fore they feel.
Too much rain @would postpone
the Penny Day until Friday. said
Coulter. And one new ruling goes
into effect this year. that is that
after YOU ride you must get off and
take your place in the line instead
Of just riding and riding, till you
can't ride any more. That's fair

subject just made by the bureau.
Three disasters of the past six
months are cited, one in West Vir-
Cinia, one in Pennsylvania, and one
in Utah, all supposed to have been
caused by electrical apparatus. "All
three disasters would seem to have
been avoidable e proper equipment
had been used" the report says.
Approved Machinery Okehed
The Bureau Of Mines tests all ma
chimes and apparatus for use in
mines to determine whether or not
1t is safe for use in explosive mine
atmospheres. No disasters have
been caused from any of the equip
ment so approved, the bureau
claims. However, there is no means
by which mine owners can De forced
to use only approved apparatus, ex-
cept by State laws.
Bituminous mines are more dan
gerous than anthracite. OF the
1902 killed this year, 1,049 lost their
lives in bituminous mines.
Accidents due to falling of roof
and coal, haulage, and explosives are
decreasing in number.
Apparently Alaska mines are safer
than those Of this district There
have been no fatal accidents there
in 1924. although four men were in
jured. During this period. 40,971
tons of coal have been mined.
