eight persons to death in an accident
near Bazaar, Kans., March 81, struck
a grain elevator shortly after the take

The Kansas City Star quoted Robert
L. Boatrght, foreman of a switch en-
gins crew, as saying he believed he saw
the right wing of the rri-motored ship
strike the elevator about two hours be-
fore the crash in which Knute Rockne,
Notre Dame foot ball coach, was killed.
Other members of the crew said the
ship flew close to the structure but were
not positive that the wing struck the
elevator.
The plane was so low we thought 1t
was falling" Boatright said. 1T was
fcggy and the visibility was poor"

ORE CHUTE GATES ARE ILLUSTRATED
 IN NEW BULLETIN

An information circular on un- derground chute gates in metal
 mines has been published by the
 U. s. Bureau of Mines, as one of a
 series dealing with special mining problems.
 Underground transportation is an important part of mine opera tion and absorbs an appreciable part of the total underground cost at most ore mines. In mining ore bodies of considerable vertical height, the ore is usually loaded into cars thru the medium of chutes provided with gates or doors.
 These chutes form an important link in the transportation and handling of broken ore and waste and it is important that they be
 designed and constructed to suit the conditions at each mine. The important influencing conditions are physcal nature of ore and rock, dip of deposit, tonnage han dled, size of car, cost of construc- tion, and cost of operation.
 The authors classify gates into 1s types and several sub-types and describe and illustrate each type with the air of line drawings of which there are 40. Of particular interest is new type of gate which the authors term the "flex- ible" or curtain" type, consisting of number of heavy chains with iron balls attached to the lower end which are suspended from the head cap of the chute. The field of application of each type and it's advantages and disadvan- tages are discussed. Finally ex- amples of costs of installing gates and chutes of various types are given.
 The subject is given detailed at- tention in Information Circular 6495 Underground Chute Gates in Metal Mines, by Charles F. Jack son and J. B. Knatbel. This paper may be obtained free of charge from the U. s. Bureau of Mines, Department of Commerce, Wash ngton, D. c.

BILL JONES NEEDS MORE INCOME

children'S school expense will be
 higher this year than last. Bill 1 looks forward to less income in
 the regular way Many industries
 have shifted to the "zigzag" plan
 for their employees in an effort | to help everyone thru the winter.
 This means that each employee
 will have about half as much in-
 come. Prices of clothing and food have come down some, but not in keeping with the "zigzag" income. There will be just as much coal to
 buy and rent to pay. Bill must
 buy and rent to pay. Bill must have more money than he can expect from his usual sources. He has some money in the Sav- lings bank drawing per cent in- Iterest. While it is true that money
 was put there for rainy day" it isn't bringing him any income
 worth mentioning; and $2O or $40 or even $100 of that wouldn't go very far on a rainy day" He needs more money coming in.
 Bill Jones is the average Amer ican. He knows that many man in exactly his financial condition has invested part of his money and has made enough return to give him the added income he needed But Bill knows there is some speculation with every in vestment, no matter what it is or how good it sounds.
 He doesn't know whether he should take any chances on either his savings account or his present income. Of course his savings ac- count is not absolutely safe; he realizes more money has been lost by depositors thru bank failures during the last 10 years than thru any single line of investment l other than the stock market crash :! in 1929. Being a true American and realizing that nothing risked, gained" he likes to take 3 chance. Bill is a cautious fel- l low and wants to speculate, but ] he doesn't want to lose his money. l
 So he losses aside all the wild eyed" promises and impractical guarantees that flood the mails and seeks out a chance to specu- ate with the safety of a flowing pill well to fall back on if the we'll he bets on turns out to be try. If the new well comes in pig, Bill should make profit ,f 10 times his investment. If le doesn't he still has his money where it should pay him dividends, 'ver period of years, twenty imeS larger than the savings ,ank interest. And he has the peculative chance of making cal fortune if the new we'll comes n good. He wants to speculate 7ith his fingers crossed, as it were, and that is exactly what le does when he accepts our spe- ial Pool offer, and shares in one usher while we drill for another. !!
 Write us for full information ut better still-mail us $2O, $1OO, i r even $200, and share in our !! ext dividend. If you are like , ill Jones, we might help you. : ,. M. ThOmassOn & Co.,. Inc. :
