Kempton Coal Mine
Inspected Recently

Additional safeguards to supple
ment several recent improvements
effected at The Davis Coal and Coke
Company's No. AZ miEe, at Kempton,
are proposed by Federal coal mine
inspector following a re-eXamination
of the property, according to a re-
port released today by the Bureau Of
Mines. The operation employs 1870
men and produces LOO tons of coal
daily
The ventilation, the inspector noted,
had been improved by the removal of
all blower fans, more extensive use
of line brattice, and the installation
of new fan equipped with essential
safety features. To better conditions
further, he recommended an increase
of air in several working places and
through the last open crosscut in the
B section, a second source of power
for the No fan, construction of
substantial incombustible entry stop
pings, and the erection of doors in
pairs to form air locks.
Commencing the replacement of
broken timber along the main f haul
ageway, the inspector suggested also
replacing them in working places, re-
moving all loose unsupported roof
adopting a plan of systematic face
timbering, testing exposed roof in
every active working face at frequent
intervals, and spragging all under
cut coal with blocks or leaning posts
Suggestions to improve haulage
include adequate clearance additional
shelter holes, safeguards to minimize
stumbling hazards, rcsurfacing and
realizing the main f haulage road
suitable rerailcrs and jacks for all
locomotives, and discontinuance of
nipping.
Other recommendations called for
safer blasting practices; additional
electrical safeguards; more effective
underground workers and snug-fit-
ting clothing by haulage-men; and
monthly joint safety meetings of Of
ficials and men.
improvements made since the last
inspection in April, 1915, also included
splice bars for all rail joints and in
sulating hangers for trolley wire;
provision Of supply Of rock dust on
the intake air side Of all wooden
doors; removal of all broken and bat
tered axes; and lining the G shaft
with concrete and installing a new
ladder

II BILLION DOLLARS
WORTH OF INITIATION

Although government officials are
constantly proclaiming the dangers
of initiation, the President is urging
Congress to appropriate At billion
dollars for Federal expenditure next
year against probable tax collection
of 35 billion dollars.
In effect this adds II billion dol
lars to our debt of 297 billion dollars
an amount equal to more than
twice the interest we now pay on
the existing debt. This additional
deficit spending will bring the annual
interest we must pay on our national
debt up to approximately the same
amount as the total Federal tax col
lected in 1888. This will also be re-

 APRIL FOOL JOKE
 BUT JWCSAD NOT

MT. and Mrs. Eugene Hulk of Douglas are today blessing, not the gacred number T, but one that proved more remunerative for them, 1916, which brought home the bacon in the form of the dove gray "60o'' 1946 Nash sedan. deliv- cred to their door at about 10:39 o'clock last night.
 "Oh, yeah?' was the dlsbelleving response of Mfr. Hulk when he was called by phone last night from the Capitol Theatre and told he was the owner of the spanking new car
 However the conviction that an April Fool joke was being played on him faded when committee members appeared at the door with the car, and was replaced by bad case of jitters over finding the matching half of the ticket.
 Mrs. Hulk, it developed, had the stub in her possession and was away at a neighbours. But, assured MT. Hulk again and again We have it alright"
 When finally produced the car was formally turned over to the new owners by committee members for the. Library Fund, Mrs. D. W.
