Ruth Jumped In Time

Ruth Roland is known the
world over for her daring feats
in her thrilling Patheserials. but
many people do not realize the
way she often plays with death
or serious injury in the filming
of them. For example, during
the filming of Ruth of the
Range many exciting and dan
gerous incidents took place.
Once it happened that the
script called for scenes on run
away truck. The wildrunning
TRUCK was supposed to go over
the side of cliff and Miss Roll
and was to Jump off just before
the descent. But instead of 60
ing over nicely and neatly, as
was anticipated, the truck struck
a rock in the road and kept on
down the regular trail of the
mountainside. Miss Roland just
managed to leap clear before it
smashed into and completely de-
molished two empty automobiles
standing at a distance.
Ruth of the Range" Miss
Roland's latest Patheserial, will

Visitors Hear Glowing
Praise For Invention
Of Capitalist

The paper by Milton III. Flies. vice
president DeBardeleben Coal company,
read Monday before the American Min.
ing and Metalurgical engineers, devoted
considerable discussion to the Ramsay
coal sampler which was installed at the
Woodward operations some time ago.
The paper of Mr.. Flies gives TO the in
vention of Mr.. Ramsay unstinted praise
and II is stated that a large delegation
Of the visitors will visit the Woodward
tipples to see the sampler in operation
Mr.. Ramsay permitted the Woodward
company to install the samplers with
out cost so far as he was concerned
even though he Is the owner OF the pat
ents. He was actuated In doing this
to assist in the elimination Of many
ills that develop by crude hand picking
which is even yet in vogue at many
mines. The success Of the sampler al
Woodward il expected to be followed By
the installation of samplers at many
| other mines and final revolution IN
tipple practices.
On account of the vide interest which
will be created in the sampler by rea
son Of the paper of Mr.. Flies many in
vestigations have already been made Of
the ingenious patent.
Elimination of impurities from Goa

has been for many years., one of tbs

conditions certain amount. Of foreigI

ing increase of impurities when condi
tions are less favorable. Coal mining
operation requires the miner to remove
the refuse, less certain allowable
amount, before loading the coal In thu
mine car.
The miner can be penalised for excess
