CELTIC CONGRESS-
 EXPRESSES FEARS
Afraid That Irish Language Is
 Dying Out

Dublin, Aug. IS (P-There rasre gently concluded in Dublin an Inter osting congress representing all sec- tions of the Celtic race, delegates attending from Gaelic Scotland from Wales, and from Brittany. The discussions were largely concerned with the preservation of the Irish language. Ramon De Valera said that districts of Ireland was the greatest difficulty to be contended with. He was satisfied he declared, that those at the head of affairs, could, if they wished, get the money to establish industries to keep the Gael at home.
 | Other speakers said the language was dying because the native speak CTS set no value on 1t. Professor Gruffydd from Wales said that any amount of teaching of the language l in the schools was of no more use in saving 1t than q tinkling cymbal' unless there were put into it some thing that gave dignity to the per son who spoke it.
 It was urged that emigration from the Irish speaking districts should he stopped A resolution was adopt cd unanimously declaring that Irish should be essential in the final ex- animation for degrees in every col
 lore for doctors lawyers and engine.

EVERY JOB HAS
 ITS OWN HAZARD
Survey ol Eye Injuries DiSClOSeS
 Dangers

New York, Aug, 15 Pl-There Is no such thing as non hazardous industry in the opinion of the Ma tional Committee for the Prevcn- ton of Blindness expressed in the report of an extensive study of eye hazards In industrial occupations, made public today by Lewis H. Car ris, managing director of the com mittee.
 "Of the 1o0,o00 blind persons in the United States approximately 15,- GOO are the industrial blind per, sons who have lost their sight in the pursuit of industrial oCcupa- tions," says the report, "and there is In addition 10 the totally blind a much larger number of men, women and children whose vision has been so impaired by the eye hazards Of industry that they are handica voed throughout life. Both of these classes, the industrial blind and the workers whose vision has been seriously impaired by the haz- ards of other industrial environ ment, grow larger each year" There Is hardly an industrial oc- equation In America, according to the National committee, which does not add each year 10 the steadily increasing number of the blind and the near blind. Referring 10 the eT- perience of just one insurance com pany which in three and a half years settled claims involving 1,04a cases of permanent disability re- sulting from eve injuries, the report says: "The loss of S2 eyes in the presumably safe occupations of merchandising, farming. and textile manufacture Is further proof of II c statement that serious eye acct dents are likely to occur wherever men, women and children are em ployed. There is no such thing as a really hazardous occupation. "
 The committee found that al-
 
 view the metal manufacturing in dustries are the source of the great est number of serious eye injuries, in Pennsylvania the coal mining tn- dustry ranks first as cause of in | dustrial blindness. In Wisconsin it was found that hand tools consti- l. tute by far the greatest single cause of eye injuries being responsible for A per cent. As an example of the important part that eye iniur- ies play in the whole problem Of industrial accidents the report cites the experience of a large shipbuild- ing company In whose dispensary 3S per cent Of all injuries treated were eye injuries, More than 4300 eye cases were treated in the dis rensery of thls one company in one year,

The mystery of the loco weed of
the Western cattle ranges is ap-
preaching solution after years of
study in the Department of Agri-
culture laboratories here, in the
course of which a poison has been
extracted which would have. gladdened
the hearts of the Medicis, DIR. James
+. Couch of the Bureau of Animal
Industry told the Chemical Society of
Washington last night.
Experiments with the poison ex-
traCted from the loco week on cats
at the local laboratories, it was re-
vealed, show that it is one of the
most remarkable agencies of death in
nature. 1t could probably be used on
the highly sensitive nervous organi-
cation of the human being in guam
titles insufficient to cause death, but
which would produce insanity lasting
over long period, DIR. Couch said.
1t long has been known for its
tendency to drive cattle crazy. Large
quantities of the weed are necessary
to produce death, but if used on

BRITISH USE PARACHUTE
PERFECTED BY AMERICAN
Fact Develops Discussion as to the
History of Life Savers
in Air.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
LONDON. April 15.-The Royal Air
Force today is using d parachute
perfected by an American. which fact
has brought out comment and dis
cussion as to the history of the use
of parachuteS in aeronautfcS.
The assertion is made that the first
lifs-saver of this kind was conceived
1872 years ago by Jacques Garnerin, Il
Frenchman. He worked out the idea
while a prisoner of the Germans in
the Ehrenbreitstein fortress. at Cob
ienZ. on the Rhine, and with a
parasol-like contrivanCe dropped
safely from the fortress walls to lib
erty.
Thus convinced that this theory was
sound, Garnerin, once back in France
perfected his mechanism and. using a
parachute built virtually along the
lines followed today in 1899 made a
successful drop from a balloon from
a height of 5000 feet.

representative in Congress to carry on his fight to success. Judge Wickersham has done more for the town of Juneau than any other in- dividual in Alaska, and yet there is no man more thoroughly hated by the lackey class and loved by the rank and file of Juneau residents than the Judge.
 This class we will have at any point where the capital may be To- cated. If a change were made, the Juneau class that sits in it's lair and licks it's wounds would surely fol- low the appointed powers, and al- though it might be relief for the independent residents of Juneau and Gastineau Channel, why should the good people of some other Alaskan locality be inflicted with them? Nothing can be gained by scattering this class. The same theory of so~ cial economy that they apply to the vicious classes in Juneau or Ketchi- kan should be applied to them. Keep them in their restricted district and watch them.
