the face of similar disaster few
weeks ago.
Gas Masks Obsolete
II was rumorcd there we're only
four gas masks, of obsolete type,
the use of which none or the lSj
men at Camp Mitchell knew any
thing about, and that the lives of
rescue workers were endangered by
the gas as they struggled to reach
the bodies.
The exact cause of the disaster
was still in doubt, One theory was
that shaft lift had collapsed, kill
ing the operator, john Doland, and
scattered quantity of explosives
at the bottom after drop OF 500
feet. Some contended the powder
became ignited and others blamed
the blast to natural gases being set
eff.
a group of II miners working in
the west portal OF the tunnel were
knocked off their feet by the
force of the blast but were able
to escape without serious injury.
Handicapped by lack of knowl-
edge of how to use the gas masks
enc miner tore il off and braved
the fumes to bring out the body of
his pal.
The rcscucr was VI. J. Dawson,
machinist and his "buddy" was
John McNicholls. one of the vic
Tins.

Although he claims he was only

credited with having saved the

Kelly was working on the west
end of the tunnel when the blast
hurled him ;ad the II others off
their feet. Unable to walk Kelly
erawled several hundred feet and
sounded the alarm and gave sig.
nal for the lift. The men were
raised TO the surface just in time
to avoid the onrushing fumes of

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, May 10 OP.-An early
decline in cotton, promoted by relatively
easy Liverpool cables, was followed by
rallies today on covering for the week
end, which may have been promoted
by the early steadiness Of grains and
stocks and apprehensionS that the Cen
trail belt was getting too much rain.
Rallies were not fully maintained, how
ever, and after selling up from 1880
to 1914 May closed at 1875, while the
new October, which had advanced from
1853 to 14.72. closed at 14.64. The gen.
eral market closed steady, net points
higher to points lower.
The opening was steady, at decline
Of S to 10 points under liquidation and
scattered selling, inspired by the easy
showing of Liverpool, while there may
have also been some selling on reports
of showers in the Eastern belt. Offer
ings were light and quite readily abb
sorbed around the initial figures by
week end covering, and the market de-
veloped q decidedly steadier tone dur
ing the middle of the morning, when
there appeared to be a feeling that the
Central belt was getting a little more
rain than was wanted for the present.
July sold up from 1851 to 1850 and the
new December contract from 1853 to
1890, with the general list showing net
gains of about TO 9 points at the high
point of the morning. There seemed to
be q lot more cotton for sale at 1850
lions showed reactions of to points
from the best. At the close May was 10
points under the price Of July and
showed a premium Of I'll points over
the new October.

Living Costs Cut
To Lowest Point
Within Ten Years
Value of Dollar Has Risen
Rapidly With Decline
in Commodities.
BY ]. C. ROYLE.

The American people can buy more
advantageously today than at any time
in 10 years, according to scientists who
have just completed study of figures
showing the cost of living from 1914
20 date.
A dollar goes farther today than since
the Great War closed, and even in the
last week there has been further drop
in the commodity markets. Moreover,
citizens now are buying more carefully
and taking full advantage Of bargains
and seasonable trends. The old days
Of 1920, when price was minor item
and desire was the sole ruling factor In
buying, have gone out of the picture.
Economists in the Government service
here declare that this has done more
to prevent the present business depres-
sion from becoming more extensive than
almost any other factor. Those who
give thought to living expenses are con-
tent to eat pork chops and oranges In
these months when they are most
plentiful and cheapest, instead of dur
ing the period when fruits and vege-
tables and other products become
rarities or semi-luxuries.
The low point ot the year is now
approaching, so far as general food
prices are concerned. The low usually
been of such q character as 10 delay
production of certain foodstuffs in some
areas. Roast chicken costs more after
June 80 than before and so does q rib
roast of beef. Butter prices are not
expected to advance much If any until
next September. Eggs, however, are
likely to be higher In the Summer than
In the Autumn and Winter.
Beef prices normally follow the vol
ume Of livestock marketings, which is
heavier in the Spring and Fall. At
prices normally can be expected to
drop.
The season from now until June Is
the cheapest time of the year so far
as heat, light and rent are concerned.
OF course, rentals are higher in the
resort areas but normally they are
lower in the cities and industrial CEN
tiers. Furnaces are not needed, fuel
for cooking Is not consumed so heavily,
because of Summer menus calling for
cold foods, and daylight hours are
longer and less lighting current Is re-
quired.
The level Of clothing prices Is still
high as compared with other COM
modities. Cigarette prices are low, and
those for cigars have shown a re-
markable decrease, for equal quality.
through employment Of automatic
wrapping machinery. Prices Of papers,
books and magazines have declined in
recent years and volume has mounted
in corresponding measure.
More money Is being spent for games
and recreation than last year at this
time, but the expense per capita Is
less In most sections. Cost Of sporting
equipment is high. but prices for some
products in the luxury class, such as
radios motor boats and monographs,
are on q relatively low level. Prices
for golf, tennis and swimming equip
ment show little change compared with
last Spring and only moderate re-
cession In volume of sales. Candy
prices are higher, but ice cream and
soda water and soft drinks show little
II any change.

GRAIN MARKET
Wheat Prices Advance Sharply on
Bullish Crop Advices.

Bullish Crop Advices.
CHICAGO, May 10 R,.-unfayor-
able crop advices from the Southwest
during the late trading today gave de-
cided emphasis to bullish aspects of the
Government crop report, lifting prices
Sharply. The majority of the South
western advices indicated that wheat
has not improved since recent rains.
and some messages intimated that there
has been deteriation instead Predic-
tons of big decrease of the United
states visible supply total on Monday
also acted as an incentive to buyers.
Wheat closed firm, 1ssa2 a bushel

Effects of surprise over curtailed Of

mesLic wheat harvest were a good deal
Offset by assertions that the Govern
ment must have figured on a lower par
yield than usual for May. One leading
private expert here suggested that the
forecast ought to be $40, 900 900 bushels.
instead of the 525,000000. Use of a sea.
sonal and vacillating par was alleged
to be largely responsible for the differ

Counting further as drag on wheat
price upturns today was the circum-
stance that overnight export business
in North American wheat lacked VOL
ume. According to dispatches at hand,
one reason was that France is offer
ing wheat freely and has sold quanti-
ties of garlicky grade to Great Britain
as low as SO cents bushel. A late ad-
ditional bearish factor was an explana-
ton that the Washington May official
crop report relates to the condition of
wheat remaining for harvest and is
not strictly comparable with the April
report. which related to the entire

1853 cooperative peoples banks, which
serve wage-earners only, and which are
doing an immense amount of good for
them.
In the year 1900 Alphonso Desjardins,
former newspaper man and later gov
eminent official, established the first
bank at Lewis, Quebec, with a capital
of $26.40. Within a year the 'assets
had grown to $4,936. At the end of
1928 this bank had total assets OF
$l,54l 900.
Seven years after the Lewis bank was
founded, q second one was opened,
which proved to be as popular as the
first After this followed a growing
number, until at the end of 1928 there
were 1863 banks, which had total assets
OF over Sill 100000, of which $9,592, 900
had been loaned out In small amounts
to thousands of people, and $1,315, 900
was cash on hand.
These banks are purely cooperative.
They sell shares to their members at

accept deposits only from shareholders,
