said he, how the Cleveland clinic dis
aster focused the attention of physi-
clans and scientists throughout Europe
on the problem of isolating collections
Of X-ray films so that they would be
safe from fire. In Edinburgh, he said,
an investigation of the subject was be-
gun within "a hours after the Cleve-
land fire and similar steps were taken
In Paris, London, Vienna and else
where. This was, he observed, per-
haps the only good springing from the
disaster.
DR.. Waugh said that the amount
of sickness which he observed In the
Balkan States. and especially in
people, he said. are suffering widely
from nalnutrition. Foodstuffs ordina-
rily supplied by Hungary are lacking.
The women and children of Austria
are emaciated, he said, being on the
point q starvation, and conditions In
Hungary, Jugoslavia and adjacent
countries are hardly better. DR.. Waugh
observed that tuberculosis of the throat
was prevalent In all the European
countries he visited.
Sees Soviet Trend.
II relief is not afforded in some
way, he asserted. the malnutrition in
Austria will progress to a stage where
It will affect the mental condition Of
the people, as undertaking always
does. The mental depression resulting
from starvation and suffering will make
the Austrians easy converts, DR.. Waugh
asserted, to the communistic doctrines
Of Russia and political upheavals are
sure to result. Already, he said. the
mental confusion Of the people Of sew
eral countries is observable in the erec-
ton Of trade barriers between each

noted that June, although productive
month for the canal trade, was the

Humidity in Mines

GIT isn't the heat. it's the humidity" So
goes the old bromide, but deep down in
the metal mines, the statement is no bromide.
It is an expression of ar ever-present menace
which stands ready to snuff out the lives of
the miners.
Recently, in the deep gold mines of the
South African Rand, a number Of miners died
OF heat stroke, although the temperature was
only between IS and 81 degrees. The air
was saturated.
The prevalence Of heat collapse in these
mines has led to a system Of cooling the faces
of the mines with ice, and experiments along
other lines Of refrigeration are being under
taken.
The United States Bureau of Mines points
out that this condition is by no means peculiar
to the gold mines Of South Africa, but is found
in many Of the metal mines in this country.
Because Of an erroneous belief that metal mines
are free from the IRE and explosion danger
Of the coal mines, proper precautionary meas
ures are generally lacking. Improper electrical
installations. open lamps, smoking, n careless
handling Of explosives all combine to create
IN ever-present danger.
The ordinary wear and tear on the miners,
Wkrough the inhalation Of dust causing physical
breakdowns, is sufficiently serious In these
mines, but the danger Of poisonous gases in
the air IS greater. A small fire deep down In
the mines can quickly wipe out a crew Of men
and still be Insignificant as a fire.
The bureau cites a case In Mexico in which
more than 20 men met death from a fire that
hardly more than charred an amount Of wood
which would not have exceeded three cords.
In Canada, last year, 80 men died Of poisonous
gases generated through the burning of a little
sawdust and a few discarded explosive boxes.
Adequate ventilation by mechanical means
is he best answer to the question of how to
alleviate these conditions, for natural ventila-
ton is poor at best and usually falls down
completely in case Of disaster.

their meetings. Now they are discussing some
thing that he is bound to know more about
than any Of them, for he has had access to
knowledge that never reaches them. He could
explain to them why 1t might be advisable to
take a certain course and give them reasons
that before that might never occur to them.
He would have no vote so he couldent pos
sibly be a balance Of power. Not only Foreign
Relations but various Of our very important
Committees, Agriculture, Federal Reserve even
If he should be Of the opposite Political faith
Of his successor (Which don't happen often).
His duties should not conflict in any way with
the Presidents policys. He simply expresses an
opinion, an opinion backed by knowledge.
Then he would feel like he was a real benefit
to his Country. It would keep him active, and
would bring us back a thousand fold what we
paid him. Make his salary at least fifty thou
sand a year. That's about what you can get
for managing a little chain of rug Stores, or
a small Oil Company. Then it would also give
him q chance while in Office to give more and
better service to us, for his thoughts would not
be continually on what he was going to do for
a living when he had to get out. He would
know what he was going to do.
Now you have often heard about pensioning
them, but that's no good course it beats what
We got now, but this scheme of mine is to
keep him working for us.
I will take it up with Congress and If any
thing comes of it, I will expect my commission
from Mr.. Coolidge and also Mr.. Taft, for the
Bill will be made retroactive. Its such a good
Bill 1t will go through along with Farm Relief.

World Farming Census

A II. O00-mile trip to Is countries of Central
and South America. just completed by
L. M. Estabrook, director Of the census for
the International Institute Of Agriculture, has
brought about an assured success for the world
census of agriculture, which is to be taken
next year.
The visits of the present trip have brought
into cooperation the last section of a total area
representing 81 per cent of the land surface
Of the world. SO per cent Of the agricultural
land and 80 per cent Of the population.
This census, the first ever to be undertaken
In which the whole field is to be scanned at
once, was first authorized in 1925. 1t is be-
lieved that the results viii bring about an ex-
cellent system of crop estimating and will pro-
vide an accurate check on prospective market
conditions all over the world. 1t will be of
great value in bring about agricultural stabiliza-
ton and will open new and profitable fields to
farmers.
= The only countries not visited in laying out
the plans for the census are Afghanistan,
Persia, Bolivia and some of the West African
colonies.

~ get what Mr.. Coolidge says, you
got to get 1t in the Magazines.
When he was just President you could read
what he said in the newspapers for three
cents. But since he is the Late Ex-President why
its IS cents. Not only Mr.. Coolidge but all of
our big men are breaking out in small thick
periodicals.
I just last night read two very nice human
stories, one in the American Magazine and the
other in the Cosmopolitan, both of which Mr..
Coolidge had written. One was on his life up
around Plymouth notch Vermont. He told of
his early school days, he SeiG when he was
three years old he knew his letters, and started
to school at five and at twelve he knew as much
rs the Teacher, in fact he said he knew as
much as any teacher up there. The way he
kinder explained it he just was on the verge
gvf being a Child Prodigy.
At twelve they sent him away to school at
Ludlow. I was up through there and visited
Plymouth and Ludlow and all those historic
places, and Ludlow is Just about two hills and
. valley away. but in those days it constituted
going some place. He paid a mighty fine tribute
to the upbringing Of the Country Boy, said
If he had to be brought up again that he would
just go ahead and be brought up in the same
place. Course he knows how its done now and
the next time wouldent be so hard.
I never was President, I never was even a
Senator, But so would I choose to be brought
up where I was brought. But I bet you there
is a lot of things 1 did that you bet I would
know better than to do them again. II I was
going to be brought up again, the first thing
I would specialize in would be boxing, then the

The lusty and spirited plebe squad.
with only one or two changes during
the whole period Of nearly an hour and
q half, worked against two complete
varsity teams. which were fortified
with a number of substitutes as the
practice progressed.
The first varsity backfield was made
up OF Kohlhas, quarter; Castree and
10th. halves, and Antrim, fullback.
Later, Spring took Kohlhas' place.
The running of 10th featured the
the only touchdown of the afternoon,
following an end run of IS yards.
Later. the work of this team was not
so satisfactory and they were sent by
Ingram for more formation toll. under
Johnny Wilson. and new eleven, with
the Bauer brothers, Cannon and Ant
rim, in the backfleld. was substituted.
Cannon did the best running OF this
combination.
The offense of both varsity combina-
tions was, however, irregular and no
success was achieved with the forward
pass.
The defense OF the linemen, changed
frequently as the practice progressed,
was generally good.
The punting Of Denny was a big as
set for the plebes and he tossed for
ward pass to Erck. which was the only
successful play OF the kind during the
afternoon.
