Hazleton, Pa, June 5.-(UP)-
The mine mule, underground laborer
in the anthracite collieries of Penn

be one with the Dodo bird and other

To the mechanically minded a

Coal operators, however. look to the

Electrically powered coal car en-
eines are rapidly replacing their

Most Of the mules are blind, due
to their long stay underground, for
it is seldom if ever that mule
enters a mine and is brought to the
surface before he dies.
But blindness does not end the
mules usefulness TO the miners. So
we'll do many of the blind mules

switch, where a closed one should
have been found, the mule stops

guide have no avail unless the switch
is properly set.

THEATERS

Meyer Davis music carries both

according to the great Fox theat-
ricaI interests who have just com
pleted arrangements for Davis or
chestras to be installed in their
two new giant theaters shortly to
be opened in Detroit and st.
Louis.
The Detroit Fox Theater will
open about September Is with a
75-piece orchestra, while It is ex-
pected that the orchestra for the
st. Louis Theater will be as large
or even larger, since the last
named theater has a somewhat
larger capacity than the Detroit
house.
The two new Fox houses will be
OF huge seating capacity, the st.
Louis house planned for 5000 and
the Detroit theater for 5000. In
luxury and colorful artistry Of
architecture and interior decora-
ton they will be the last word in
modernism.
In assembling the mammoth or
chestras needed for these new
houses, Meyer Davis plans to pro-
duce units that. will be adapted to
present the finest symphonic num-
bers. But versatility will also be
required and full understanding
of the special requirements of the
