during the three great catastrophes
experienced by the Ohio fund, said the
records would disclose that a great
many of the men who lost their lives
at the Willow Grove disaster were
married men with families and that
the fund would be great boom to the
survivors. In the Millfield disaster
many of the men killed were younger
men and were unmarried. In case the
victims had no dependents the State
was only obliged to pay their, funeral
expenses.
"This experience" said Mr.. Evans,
demonstrates the wisdom and far
sighted vision of the men who were
responsible for the setting up of the
Ohio Workmen's Compensation Fund.
Under the old order of things such an
explosion would have wrecked any
company. The property loss alone is
very great, and added to this the IL
ability for loss of life would have
washed up most any company finan-
cially.
"In the old days a miner assumed
the risk of losing his life when he
went under the ground and when he
was killed his family had to depend
upon charity of friends or resort to
litigation in the courts, which was
usually long and expensive process
The Willow Grove disaster occurred
March 16 and within week the State
Industrial Commission had set up a
| branch office in the Court House at
st. Clairsville and begun settlement
of claims for death awards and hos
pital and medical bills. The whole
matter would have been cleaned up
within ten days time, but it was not
until eleven days after the explosion
that the last of the II bodies was re-
covered from the mine.
| Official inquiry as to the cause of
the disaster was begun on March 29
with the Federal and State Mining
Authorities acting jointly. Last week
the State began a separate inquiry at
Columbus as to the cause.
Jerome Watson, former Chief In
spector of the Ohio Mining Depart
ment, now general mine Inspector for
the Hanna Coal Company, testifying
before the State Board of Inquiry
gave it as his opinion that the ex-
plosion which caused the Willow
Grove disaster originated in the
powder box. He said the mine was
using long flame black powder fol
blasting, rather than short flame per,
missible powder recommended by the
U. S. Bureau of Mines. This he sale
was because short flame blasting
would break the coal into smaller
Jumps and lower the quality. The Ohio
law does not prohibit use Of the long
flame black powder.
4 The Willow Grove mine was regard
ed by miners as a "model mine" from
the standpoint of having all the latest
methods and machinery. 1t was visit
ed recently by the first lady of the
land, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, ano

Senate Votes To

finally adopted without amendment.
They feel that the policy will give
them a campaign issue on which they
are glad to accept battle. Senator
McNary, Republican leader, predicted
that the trade-agreements program
will be the overshadowing campaign
issue in many States of the West and
Middle West.
The greatest excitement of the day
was afforded by last minute effort
by Senator Walsh to limit the exten-
sion of the negotiating power to one
year instead of three. Reports had
spread apparently inspired by ma
jority whips, that Vice President Gar
ner had devised this strategy as a
means of hamstringing the program.
The defeat of the Walsh amendment
by 46 to "a was interpreted, however,
as indication that Mr.. Garner had not
bestirred himself to any great extent
on behalf of it. Fourteen Democrats
voted for it, including Senators Van
Nuys and Gillette, who changed over
from their previous general position
in support of the Administration. Sem
ators Bone and Bulow changed in the
other direction.
The opposition strength had rested
fairly steadily at 81 on major amend
ments during the Senate consideration
after it had mustered it's maximum OF
Al votes on the Pittman amendment
to require Senate ratification of all fu.
ture trade agreements on the grounC
they are really treaties.
President Roosevelt, however, say
ing that he had seen in a morning
newspaper a report of an aggressive
move for the one-year limitation
commented on it at length at his press
conference today, held just as the
Senate was assembling. The news
paper story reported that Mr.. Garner
was advocating the limitation, but the
President did not refer to Mr.. Garner
directly.
The President said that the nationa
welfare, which he called novel view
point for an election year, would bt
injured by the proposed limitation. He
added that tariff problems had beer
the headaches of all administrations
in American history and that it was {
bad thing for the country to have Con
gress rewrite the tariff policy in whole
or in part every year.
The same line of reasoning was ad
vanced on the floor by Senators Bark
ley, Brown, Norris and other Admin
istration hackers. They pointed ou
that it took at least year to negoti
ate trade agreement of any import
ance and asserted that the proposed
limitation would mean, in effect, tina
no more agreements could be negoti
ated.
Mr.. Walsh, taking the floor twice
before that Congress should not del
egate any sweeping powers for tariff
making to a President as yet un
known. This line of argument led t.
claims and counter-claims from bot
sides Of the aisle as to the politica
complexion of the next occupant of tn
White House, but the prophets care
fully avoided naming names.
Mr.. Garner, adhering to a custom
declined to discuss the reports tha
he had encouraged the one-year limi
tation plan. The newspaper report t.
which Mr.. Roosevelt referred had i
that the Vice President had told tn
hackers of the plan that he was pre-
pared to cast his vote for it in cas-
thew produced a tie.

Frightening Up Your Walls

Top of the list on any Spring clean
ing schedule is cleaning up the walls.
Walls-papered or painted--should
be busted regularly and completely if
dirt is not to become imbedded in the
finish almost beyond hope Of removal.
A soft duster is best. 1t doesn't
scratch and it gathers up the dust
quicker than broom or stiff -bristle
brush. A long handled soft hair brush
will do the job. Just as good is an
outing flannel bag on broom. Wool
brushes are expensive and they re-
quire great deal Of care to keep
clean. If you used soft cloth or cot
ton, rotate the wiping surface; then
you won't be rubbing on more dirt
than you take off.
Take particular care with wall
paper. Hard rubbing can easily mar
or injurc it. A very even stroke with
little pressure won't blur the pattern
or spot the paper.
For cleaning papered walls, use
water and a mild soap only if the
paper is guaranteed washable And
viz 100 "iISI Nou use, lItc DelltI.
Commercial pastes and powders on the
market are also fairly successful in
cleaning wall paper if directions are
followed to the letter.
Washable paints should be cleaned
with mild soap solution, rinsed, and
dried. Coarse securing powder or a
strong laundry soap have no place in
cleaning most painted walls. They
may make white paints yellow, and
can ruin colored paints.
Write the Bureau of Home Econ
omics, Washington, d. c., if you want
more information on cleaning walls.

ny WA A. AAASAs
Something like a million years
ago. great numbers of wild turkeys
roamed over the Western part OF
America, now known as California,
and more especially Hollywood,
where they slipped into and became
entombed in the asphalt beds. They
were not alone. Many animals Of
large size, birds of many species as
well AS reptiles, were caught and
held in the tar Today these asphalt
beds are worked and their contents
have revealed much to the men OF
research. Of all the many turkey
fore-bears which f1ourished in the
dim past, we have but six species.
These are found from California to
Pennsylvania and Florida.
Wild turkeys are becoming more
scarce each year. domesticated ones
are increasing, for the demand Is
growing greater annually. In New
York alone over million of turkeys
will be killed for Christmas. Null
tiply this by all the larger cities
and we find the number rather
staggering. Today we have stream
line birds to fit the small apart
ment stove Our native bird is
being modelled into more trim and
compact figure.
AS far as we know, the first writ
ten description of the turkey was
that made by Gonzalo Ferdinando
de Oviedo, a Spanish historian who,
seeing the turkey. wrote concerning
1t in 1926 when he made the jour-
ney to the West Indies and to
Mexico.
Many have been misled into
thinking the turkey was co-called
because 1t came from Turkey. The
bird announces its own name and
always has. The favorite and al
most inceSsant utterance of the
creature is Turk! Turk! Turk!"
From the earliest days of Amer
lea, stories of the abundance OF
turkeys have been recorded. 1t
seems that the one special date is
that of 1921 in the month of De-
cember, when Gov. Bradford Of
Massachusetts, proclaimed three
days of Thanksgiving for the first
abundant harvest after the arrival
of the Mayfower at Plymouth. At
this time, it is said, four Pilgrim
hunters went into the forest and

Mortgaged Homes in
New York State Will
be Safe Another Year

Albany. y. Y. Nov. % Up
New York States thousands Of
mortgaged homes are safe from
foreclosure for another year.
Gov Herbert H. Lehman has
signed a bill extending the seven
year-old mortgage moratorium"
until July 1, 1871, declaring the
emergency which prompted its
original enactment still exists.
The moratorium, adopted as an
emergency measure In 1893, when
the depression and bank failures
started a wave of foreclosures, has
been continued from year to year
by the legislature.
Lehman, in a memorandum ac-
companying his approval of the
bill, sharply criticized the Repub-
lican-controlled Legislature for its
failure to provide constructive
steps toward taPeFiHg off the
moratorium.
Since the emergency has not
yet passed, it would of course work
a great hardship suddenly to lift
the entire protection afforded to
mortgagors by law" Lehman
wrote.

interest and taxes are paid. The
