Procop's Old Cafe
In Paris Desecrated

one of the oldest cafes in Paris is
Procop's, near the Coincide Franchise
1t began as a bar in the reign of
Louis XIII, and attained fame during
the days of Moliere, when it fur
nished its patrons with the new drink
called coffee. The name cafe orig
mated in those days when Parisians,
instead of saying, Lets go to Pro
cops and drink cafe" said Let's go
to the cafe"
During the revolution Procop's was
a meeting place for Robespierre, Marat.
Danton and the young Lieut.. Ma
poleon Bonaparte. Marat, Danton
and other leaders used to make
speeches there against the aristoc-
racy. Until the present one, the sue
cessive owners of Procop'S preserved
the original furniture.
They showed with pride ma
poleon's corner" or Robespierre's
chair, and especially Danton's broken
table. Since the war. however. peo-
Recently old patrons on returning
found a new owner from the south
of France. Where are Napoleon's s
settee and Robespierre's chair?" they
asked. The owner shrugged his shoul-
ders. And Danton's table?" "Oh.
that table. l threw it out: it was
dirty and broken. I sold all the old
junk for next to nothing and replaced

chairs"

Recent Coal Mine Blasts Preventable.
U. S. Expert OH Safety Devices Asserts

Safety methods adopted by the
United States Government authorities
and the American Engineering Stand
ards Committee would have prevented
The recent coal mine disasters in Okla
homa and West Virginia. in the opin-
ion of DR.. Tt..o,.as T. Reed, safety
t>trica ..le,v,or of the United States
E:reau of Mines.
The actual cause of the two blasts
has not yet been determined" DR..
Reed said, but they could not have
happened if safety rules had been
strictly followed. Gas and coal dust
need not be allowed to accumulate and
sparks and flame to set them off can
be kept out of coal mines. A new
method of preventing coaldust eXplo-
lions by means of spraying uninfiam-
mable rock dust wherever the inflam-
aable coal dust collects would have
topped the explosion from travelling
through the mine air.
"A mine explosion is somewhat like
u gun firing" DIR. Reed added. "A
lame or spark sets off the collected
.as, which as4c like the hammer in a
