The Army and Navy football game is the main item on the Saturday grid program The Cadets are fig ured to need dry field to win and even then the Middies, with a strong line and powerful ends, are probably too much for the Army's swift light backs.
 Notre Dame is favored to win from the Great Lakes eleven, though after experience with the Iowa Seahawks, the Irish know the sailors are mighty tough.
 Southern California is out to de- fend the Rose Bowl selection over the UCLA Bruins.

 Who travels how they travel ... and when they travel are things which are rather definitely pre- scribed for us by wartime authori- ties. This is no doubt as it should be- for,J in times like these, there must be some form of control in order that the more vital things get the first attention. And with the Japanese threat to our lives and property constantly lowering over us all, none will deny there are plenty of vital things requiring pre- ferred attention these days.
 So, if you are one of those whom we have been forced to disappoint or been unable to serve with our normal speed and consideration, we hope you will understand. We know it isn't pleasant for you :. but it isn't pleasant for us either! It is just one of the many incon- veniences which result from being embroiled in a worldwide war.

Every few days an Alaskan |. probably an old friend and regular customer of ours =. comes to us for accommodations. At the time we are unable to tell them whether we can take care of them or not. More than likely we cannot even tell them exactly when the next ship is sailing. And so they have to wait around or call back .. for some word. Sometimes they have to drop back ... or call us time after time before we are able to give them definite in formation. The same is likewise frequently true in the matter of freight space.
 This isn't pleasant for them ... neither is it pleasant for us. It's the last way in the world we want to do business. But we are power less to do otherwise. And probably will remain so for the diration.

Yesterday I said q few words
about mine gases, in connection with
the use of canaries as a safety
measure. A canary may be pois-
oned to point where it falls from
Its perch, but oxygen can be used
to bring 1t back to health.
In the same way, it is possible,
In many cases. to save the lives of
miners after they have been over
come by gas. When the rescue is
quick, the injured man is likely to
be saved.
Coal mines hold the most danger
Tor miners. Several kinds of gas
may be found in them.
One coal mine gas is known as
"fredamp." Another is white
damp and third is known as
"chokedamp."
Firedamp is the most widespread
of the gases. If present in the right
amount, it can cause an explosion.
When very small amount of
flredamp is found in a mine, it is a
Evening star., 1943-05-13

warning, but does not cause an ex-
ploslon. According to studies which
have been made, the methane gas
in the firedamp must be mixed
with air to the extent of at least
six parts to "a parts Of air before
there will be an explosion.
That partly explains why min
ers dare to carry safety lamb into
mines. The fame of such lamp
is shielded, but in addition, there
is this fact: Over the fame of the
lamp, voilet blue cap" is to be
seen when there is as little as a one
half part Of methane to SO and one
half parts of air. The cap" pro-
vides an excellent warning.
When the methane gas in fire.
damp is moved with air to the ex-
tent of more than % parts, it no
longer is explosive. This is
strange fact, but has been learned
by tests. The most explosive mix
lures of methane are those in which
there are eight to IA parts of it in
each 100 parts.
Chokedamp, also known as "black-
damp" brings different kind Of
danger. 1t fills chambers in mines
after the air has been robbed Of
oxygen.
What robs the air of its oxygen?
Sometimes the oxygen is taken
out-or "absorbed''-by the coal.
In other cases the oxygen is "eaten
up" during blasting in the mine.
A man cannot live in air which
has lost its oxygen and the choke
damp will suffocate a man who
stays in it for time. His only hope
for life is through being revived, and
this may be done with the help Of
an oxygen mask
