Boy Miner. of 10 Years Ago No70 Heads
Worlds Biggest Coal Nine Group

FORTY years ago an eleVen-year-
old boy Irving in Grape Creek,
Ill, had to quit school and go to
work to help support his family. He
got a job as rock picker in a coal
mine, and little later became a
mule driver, earning $125 a day.
Today that same boy, now grown
into business man of 81, is head
of the largest coal concern in the
world, He has just been made presi-
dent of all the coal mines owned
and operated by the United States
Steel Corporation.
His name is Thomas Moses, and
his story is the sort of tale that has
become known as 'typically Ameri-
can"
Longcd to Study
When he had to leave school and
take up a mans duties he was
rather disappointed. Early in life
he had imbibed the thought that
success II lfe depends on mental
alertness; and he wanted to train
his mind to the greatest extent pos
sible.
So he did not forget school. After.
couple of years work. when he
became full fledged miner and
drew SO day, he resolved to re-
sumo his studies at any cost. I'm
able to go to school he began to
study every night after work was
done.
So determined was he that in
few months he laid aside enough
from his small wages to hire high

more alert, better trained than the
average miner. BY the time he was
of age he was going up the ladder.
A few years ago came the first
step upward when he was made
superintendent of the Bunsen Prop
critics, at that time a large sub
sidiary of the United States Steel
Corporation.
Finally, short time ago, came
the last and biggest promotion of
all The head of the corporations
coal companies was removed by
death, and% Moses was elected to 4
succeed him. He went to Pittsburgh
in connection with the election, and
Immediately afterward returned to
his home in Danville, Ill.
There he was met by big crowd
of friends, many Of them old-time
miners with whom lie had rubbed
elbows in the mines he now was to
control. To them he was still
Tom, and his Hello, boys" was
the same as it used to be when he
was picking coal alongside of them
years ago.
Has Mems Confidence
That familiarity, his associate
officials say, was one of the secrets
of his success. He was made presi-
dent OF the coal companies, it is
said, not only because he was a
capable executive, but because he
knew the miners, had their conf
dence and knew how to get along
with them.
Moses philosophy? It's brief and
to the point. Here it is.
Just do the best you can"

GIGANTIC AIRSHIPS

Prof. Moore, Developer of Helium,
Makes Forecast at Lafayette.
By United Press
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Sept. 12.-Gi-
gantic dirigibles, three times as
large as the Los Angeles, were pre-
dicted today as the ocean air liners
of the future by Professor r. B..
Moore, developer Of the use of
helium gas for lighter than-air
craft.
While trans-oceanic flights have
demonstrated the usefulness of
heavier than-air planes, lighter
than-air ships have airworthiness
which can not be overlooked, Pro-
lessor Moore said.
Professor Moore deplored the
further sacrifice of life" on long
distance flights.
Small towns and individuals that
are trying to get publicity at the
expense of the great risk to human
life should certainly not be encour-
aged in continuance of such an
encouragement of aviation" he
said. "Lindbergh's flight gave some
definite instructive information,
but most of those which have fol-
lowed have merely been for pub
licity purposes"

visited the Konjola Man at Hooks
drug store, Pennsylvania and Mar
ket Sts., and made her remarkable
statement about the surprising work
of this new Konjola medicine in her
case. Like the multitude of others,
she was glad to indorse Konjola, and
her own words describe the benefits
she received from the use of this
compound. n
II know from experience" said
Mrs. Henson, shat Konjola is an
honest medicine which is doing
everything the people of Indian
apolis are claiming for it.
II have been suffering for years
with bad case of stomach trouble.
Whenever I ate a meal was sub
ject to awful pains and terrible at
tacks of indigestion. My food would
lodge in my stomach like heavy
weight. This brought on gas pains
and I would belch up hot, sour,
bitter liquid. Besides this, I found
out that I had liver trouble, which
was causing severe headaches, con-
s1pation and bilious spells. was
extremely nervous, and sometimes I
didn't know what to do with myself.
l certainly was miserable person.
my case was made worse by the
fact that / had been trying so many
things without ever getting any
help. I got to the place where I
had no confidence in any medicine
at all. In fact, I had doubts if
Konjola would help me, and I only
bought my first bottle because some
friends of mine just kept insisting,
But this first bottle convinced me
that Konjola was a real, honest
medicine, and by the time my Sec
ond bottle was gone there was a
wonderful change in my whole sys-
tenn, and I made up my mind to
give credit to such a medicine by in
dorsing it. I got wonderful relief
from the awful headaches I used to
htave, and my stomach n causes
such awful suffering like be-
fore.
One thing l notice more thai
thing else is that my nerves
eased up. and 1 sleep better ano
seem to feel better in general
1T certainly is pleasure to know
that there is such wonderful medi-
cine as Konjola on the market. and
am glad to give it my praise"
