Contrast with their simple Won

spirit Of those who rebuked the
mothers who brought their little
children to Jesus that He should
bless them. Here was the spirit
that, unfortunately, has been more
representative to the world. Even
its educators and its professed
Christian leaders have in practice,
If not in theory, too often disre-
garded the child. Their whole
ministry has been conceived Of for
adults, and it Is only in relatively
recent times that the church has
ever begun adequately to see and
to perform its responsibilities to-
ward the young.
Possibly Christian people have
formerly left much OF the dealing
with the young to the individual
home, and there is sense in which
the home and the parents will al
ways be the most important fac
tors in dealing with the young. But
1t would seem as fitting to leave

SEEK CONTROL
OF power SITE
Engineer Fights Company
in FIathead Area.

BIZ ScriDDs-Hbiodrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The
same method that public utilities
developed to bring pressure on fed
eral officials in the Boulder Dam
and Muscle Shoals fight, now is be-
ing used in the controversy over
Flathead power sites, it became
known here today.
TIL Flathead site, said to be the
third largest power potentiality in
the United States, will be disposed
Of soon after the holidays by the
federal power commission. Appli-
cants for permission to develop it
are the Rocky Mountain Power
Company, which is related to the
Electric Bond and Share Company
group, and Walter R. Wheeler,
Minneapolis engineer, who operates
independently.
Wheeler says he intends to sell
power cheaply for manufacture Of
fertilizer in the Flathead district.
The Rocky Mountain Power Com
pany is fighting him. although it
does not intend to use more than a
small portion Of the power capacity
of the site.
According to information sent to
Washington by high Montana state
officials. the power company now
is at work organizing a barrage of
public opinion" to be directed at
the federal power commission
They are working the Chamber of
Commerce and many private citi-

MINE DISASTER
DEATHS CHEAP
PRICE FOR COAL
Three and Half Lives Lost
Per Million Tons is
Fatality ToII.s
BIZ Science serrice

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-Some
giXty lives lost in a coal mine ex-
plosion at McAlester,. Okla. are
part of the price the country pays
TO have fossil carbon to burn Tor in
dustries and homes.
Every million tons of coal ex-
tracted from the ground in this
country costs about three and half
human lives. a cheap price when
viewed from the national and indus
trial standpoint and compared with
other countries, but nevertheless
dear to the victims and their fam
lies.
Making mines safe for the miners
has been the subject Of one Of the
countrys most vigorous Of safety
campaigns waged by the specialists
Of the United States bureau OF mines.
Eleven mine rescue railroad cars To-
Gated at strategic points await the
recurrent calls to mine disasters,
just as hospital ambulances serve
communities.
Trained in Rescue
One or two out of every hun
dred miners Of the country are
trained in mine rescue and recovery
work. A much larger number. some
365,000, are trained in first aid. Auto
trucks equipped with mine rescue
apparatus are ready to serve in
mining districts, and at the first
word Of a disaster, the United States
bureau of mines experts hurry to
the scene Of the explosion to organ
ize rescue crews and direct the
work.
A United States bureau Of mines
rescue station is located at Nc
Alester so that experts were on the
scene a few minutes after the
disaster.
Prevention, rather than rescue, &C.
cupies most of the energy OF the
mine safety engineers. Lights that
will not ignite the gases and coal
dust produced in mining operations.
explosives that do not set of the
dust and gases, mining machinery
and motors that do not spark, are
among the equipment recommended
by the government engineers for
preventing explosions.
busting Recommended
busting the mine with rock dust
to dilute the explosive coal dust is
another recommended practice.
Although the cause of the NC
Alester disaster is not known
definitely. it probably was due to
Ignition of gas. The mine probably
plosives, but it is believed that it
was not rock busted and that the
mining machinery was not of the
permissible type. The electric mo-
tors may have provided the sparks
Of the disaster.
The greatest aid to mine safety is
proper supervision, the experts de-
clare, that will see that there is
enough ventilation, that the work
ingS are timbered properly and that
the safety devices are not neglected.
The McAlester disaster is the
seventh major mine explosion in
this country this year, compared
with a total of thirteen for last
year. Only 8 to IL per cent of the
coal mine fatalities are due to ex-
ploSions, while over half of the
$500 lives lost on the average each
year are due to rock and coal falls
in the mines.

Weekly Sunday School Lesson

fed its place and mission, but even
with the large development Of re-
ngious education the Christian
world lags fer behind In the fulfill
ment Of its responsibilities and the
acceptance of its privileges.
The problem Of moral and re-
ligious education has, Of course, It's
very difficult aspects, due TO the
religious sectionalism which ehaF-
acterizes the community and TO the
convictions or prejudices which
make wide and general cooperation
almost impossible. Perhaps with the
progress of the world toward en-
phasis upon the cardinal virtues we
shall attain stage where 1t will be
possible to make the general work
Of education more definitely con-
tribute to the upbuilding of moral
and spiritual character. Certainly
it would seem that no education Of
youth can be either satisfactory or
sufficient which fails in the great
purpose.
That any one should doubt where
Christians should stand upon this
matter is strange. The New Tesla
ment stands nobly and profoundly
for the recognition of the moral
and spiritual possibilities Of the
child. The profound stress at every
point is on love as the rule of life
in family relationships and in So
ciety. 1t is the perception of that
and in the insistence upon 1t today
that we may hope best to serve the
young and fulfill our Responsible
ties toward every child.

Here are two paragraphs that will come
in for much debate:
ANY sterilization corporation receiv-
ing such advances shall exert every
reasonable effort to avoid losses and to
secure profits, but 1t shall not withhold
any commodity from the domestic
market II the prices thereof have be-
come unduly enhanced, resulting IN dis
tress to domestic consumers"
The foregoing paragraph implies that
If the cost of living goes up, due to
corporations. the Federal Farm Board
shall step in, just as the Federal Re-
serve Board has endeavored to intervene
when the price of money for CONNER
cial uses recently became excessive.
There is no way Of telling exactly
what machinery will be available to
prove that prices to the consumer have
been "unduly enhanced" or is there
any provision to penalize the stabiliza-
ton corporations except by Withholding
further advances, though when the
prices to the consumer are high 1t Is
contended that the sterilization cor
porations will not need funds from the
Federal Farm Board.
Another Unusual Trend.
Another significant paragraph Is the
following:
THE board shall require any stabiliza-
ton corporation to establish and MAIN
tain adequate reserves before 1t shall
pay dividends out of its profits. II by
reason of unforeseen conditions q loss
is sustained by any such corporation.
which exceeds its capital and reserves,
previously accumulated, such loss shall
be repaid out of the profits subsequently
earned, but shall not be assessed against
the stockholders of the corporation"
This last principle is so far different
from anything the Federal Govern
ment has ever undertaken with re-
spect to banking or private institutions
which it has aided that it may bring
a revival Of the planks once advocated
by Western Democrats for the guaran-
tee of bank deposits by governmental
institutions. The joint stock land banks
have just had big assessments made
against their stockholders in the case
OF two institutions which had suffered
heavy losses. the Federal Government
refusing to assume responsibility.
The point that will arise will not
be SO much an objection to paying the
losses of sterilization corporations. but
the possibility Of precedent Tor all
institutions which are indirectly or de-
rectly related to the agricultural credit
structure.
with these new and vital points in
the House bill, the expectation Is that
the Senate will have hard time re-
writing the measure unless there Is
at the outset showdown on funda-
mental principles and willingness Of
the majority to put the Federal Gov
eminent into the business Of price con-
troll, which the McNary-Haugen group
has insisted was inevitable.
Many of the Democrats who voted
with the Western Republicans In the
past did so in the midst OF political
circumstances which may not be press
ing again. What the roll-call win look
like the next tin3e is something else
again.
