 Out Of Ministry.

Sioux City. Iowa, Sept. 30 O9 - Official election of the Rev. John E. Hill. former Merrill; Iowa. pas- tor. who is charged with bigamy, was ordered yesterday In a motion passed by a committee of Is min isters. from the Northwest Iowa Methodist Episcopal conference.

 How are you?" Hawes asked Trewartha.
 We are all o. K. Forty-three men all right" Trewartha replied.
 It was not long until all the i'm prisoned men were awake and re- joicing. All took turns puffing lone cigar Hewes had in his pocket.
 Soup. coffee, tobacco and other articles to make the men as com fortable as possible pending their removal to the surface were im- mediately dispatched. Meanwhile workers started making the rescue passage safer with heavy timberings.
 Father of s Appears
 Shortly after o'clock last night Samuel r. Synkelma7. father of eight children, emerged. lie was the first of the men to come to the sur face. Ten thousand persons were fammed about the shaft mouth.
 Synkelmar, covered with the red iron ore dust, was taken to the mine rescue car for examination. Later after a few words with several of his family he went to the hospital.
 All of the men were given pre- uminary examination by physician who visited them in their subter- ranoan abode. They declared they were all right but officials thought 1t best that all go to the hospital. Families Of each were permitted 10 spend little while with them.
 Kept Track of Time
 None of the entombed men gave up hope. They took care to keep their watches running and knew that they had been imprisoned five days. Each 24 hours q mark was placed on a piece of timbering, in dicating that another day had pass ed.
 Larry Uren. the Salvation Army miner" often led his fellow prisoners in gospel meetings, singing and praying.
 That efforts were being made to rescue them was known to the men. They heard blasting operations from time to time they said.

Michigan Men Lived on Birch-Bark Tea; Heard Rescuers Working to Free Them and Never Gave Up Hope-None Is in Serious Condition.

Ironwood, Mich. Sept. 30 LP - Safe after 121 hours of nerve-rack- ing imprisonment in the damp depths of the Pabst Iron Mine, 45 bewhiskered men saw daylight from hospital beds today for the first time in almost a week.
 Rest for them and the 400 men who labored untirirgly for their rescue was the order Of the day.
 Entombed 500 feet under ground last Friday by a shaft cave in, which killed three mine electricians. the last of the 43 miners were brought to the surface shortly before mid night, ending one of the greatest rescue efforts in mining annals.
 Given Light Food Today
 Today the men were recuporatinG from their narrowing experience They were given light foods. replac- ing their diet of birch bark tea brewed over impovised stoves made fom lunch pails. Birch bark was stripped from mine endorsements and seepage water was plentiful
 Most Of the men, attending physi- clans said, will be able to go to their homes by tonight.
 Rescue was effected through hun dreds of feet of underground shafts and laterals, some hurriedly con- strUcted and others weakened and made unsafe by the cave-in.
 Reaches Entombed Men
 First to reach the imprisoned men was George Hawes of Chicago, safe ty expert of the Pullman company and former employe, of the mine He was greeted by Tom Trewartha

Bay of Thanksgiving

Preparations for the reunion that is to come was being made in 43 homes today. It was a day of Thanksgiving. All Ironwood is happy and even those who are not related 10 the men who "came back" are joining in the festivities.
 Honors are being paid the rescue workers who came from throughout the Gogebic range, virtually disrupt ing mining activities.
 Of the three efforts undertaken to provide way to bring the impris- oned men to the surface the most hazardous was successful, this was upward from the bottom of the shaft, blocked in several places by the cave-in. Access to the bottom of the shaft was gained through a. lateral tunnel connecting with the shaft of another mine.
 Hazardous Work
 Working upward the rescuers found the tunnel blocked at the twcnty-third level. They dug around this block section and on the twenty first level found the shaft open. From there they worked their way upward through debris to the eighth level the subterranean abode of the men.
 From the eighth level the miners were forced 10 descend by ladders to the twenty-sixth level and then through a lateral to the other mine and then up through that shaft to the surface.
 Smallest Telephone
 Designed to afford communication with the 49 entombed miners who were brought to safety here last night, the Oliver Mining company today possesses what is believed to ! be the smallest telephone in the world.
 It is smaller than a watch, but ] somewhat thicker than the drill pipe which it was to have been lowered into while rescue crews were drill ing through the 400 feet of solid rock to release the imprisoned men.
 The phone. completed late We'd nesday by Thomas H. Hampton, superintendent Of electrical inspec- ton of the Oliver Mining company is one and three quarters inches long, three-eighths of an inch wide and one and one quarters inch thick.

LUNCH FOR fl CENTS
Paris Working Girls Can Get Food More Cheaply Than Can Those of Q. S. A.

.. s. A.
 Paris, Sept. 30 t49 - The eleven cent lunch, even the five cent lunch, still Is available to Paris working girls. The American cafeteria makes 1t possible. The ordinary Partisan, however, pays his twenty-five cents to a dollar for the noon day meal.
 The cheap lunch for girls rose from an idea of the "Palaise de la Femme" the Salvation Army's work ing girls hotel. Food of good qual- ify Is bought at the markets for as cheap a price as possible by the hotel. which obtains q discount for large purchases. The girls serve themselves at the counter, thus do- ing away with waitresses and incl dentally tips.
 Here Is what a girl can get for eleven cents: Soup, hors d'oeuvore, meat, two vegetables, dessert, bread and near beer, lemonade or mineral water. Coffee or tea may be sub stituted for the soft drink. For five cents the diner may have soup, two vegetables, bread and coffee or a soft drink.

Counsel Heard by Officials.

arguments before the full commission

capture of excess earnings.
The point raised in the case was

were operated as a single system or
As two separate lines. Due. however
to an important principle laid down
in r tentative recommendation of a
commission examiner regarding an
estimated value for recapture pur-
poses. all railroads interviewed md the
issues were broadened to take in the
entire policy of valuation.
The examiner held that the two
roads were not operated as a single
system and that the O'Fallon, operat
ing independently. earned in excess of
per cent during the lawful recap
ture years after 1920, half of which
excess, under the law. is recaptur

held that valuation based on the re

reception over loud speaker recep-
ton is the fact that the acoustical
difficulties and consequent distortion
due to imperfect design Of the loud
speaker horn are not present in the
phones since the vibrations of the
dia phragm are communicated dl-
rectIy to the eardrums through a
constrained air column.
Where a pair of phones is plugged
into the detector stage the distor-
ton due to amplifica ton is elimi
mated. thus giving much better re-
production.
The use of head phones has been
on the wane for some time and most
of the sets now being sold do not
have a set of head phones included
in the equipment. Those who have
not used ear phones have missed
many of the fine points of radio re-
production. not to mention the thrill
of hearing distant stations which
are too weak to come through on
the speaker.

New York Decision Is Open
ing Announcement of Next
Winters Events.

The radio world has begun to map
out its schedule for next Winter.
First among the dates announced for
the leading radio events are those
for the radio world fair and for the
third annual radio industries banquet
After arriving at an agreement
among themselves, officials of the
Radio Exhibition Corporation and the
radio worlds fair committee have
announced that New York is to have
only one Fall radio show. instead of
two, as has been the practice for the
last three years. The fair is to he
held in the new Madison Square Gar
den. September 13 to IS.
simultaneously with the announce
ment of the dates for the exhibit. Paul
Il. klugh, chairman Of the committee
for the annual radio banquet. stated
today that the dinner would he held
in New York September IS. Having
drawn an attendance or almost 500
prominent figures in the radio world
last year. the banquet proposed for
this Fall is expected to attract a
crowd of 1000. Eight radio trade
bodies are sponsoring the event and
special program of entertainment
which will be representative of the
country's broadcasting activities is
being arranged by the committee
The program will be hroadca st direct
from the dining room through a chain
OF stations that will cover the entire
United States.
The worlds fair and the banquet
will officially open a new radio sea
son. The decision to hold only one
radio show in New York will mea n
that the entire radio industry will
exhibit at Madison Square Garden and
every radio trade body in the coun.
try will sponsor the show. Hereto
fore the holding of two simultaneous
exhibits is believed to have hurt both
of the shows. The suggestion that
the rivalry he stopped was first made
by the Radio Manufacturers Assoc
citation at its recent convention in At
