Ignorance of English 1$
Cause of Many Accidents
in the Mining Districts
That the inability to read and on
dei stand English placed the foreign
born In dunger of hlsdlfe In the strik
ing fact brought out In a recent state
ment of mine fatalltleu by the bureau
of mines, department of Interior. The
fucts offer a strong argument for
Americanization. ' !
The rate of accidents among the
non-Kngllsh speaking miners Is not
only greater in all the great mining
dlHtricts of the country but the in
creased ratio Is uniform In all dis
tricts. The bureau of mines consid
ers that this demonstrates clearly that
the Inability to reud warning signs, to
comprehend fully the company's in
structions and to understand their
foreman, places an unnecessary haz
ard upon the foreign-born.
The figures given show the differ
ence In (he rate of serious awidents In
the mines among the American-speak
Inn and those from the countries of
continental Europe, almost entirely
non-Kngllsh speaking. '
In Pennsylvania anthracite mines
43 per cent of the employees are English-speaking
and this number is
charged with only 28.8 per cent of the
fatalities, whereas the other 50 per
cent sustained 71 per cent of the fa
talities. This is a comparative ratio
of C09 to 1,288 against the non-English
speaking.
In Pennsylvania bituminous mines
the ratio is 771 to 1,123 and in West
Virginia district, 790 to 1,424. In In
diana the ratio is not so great.
Director Manning of the bureau of
mines concludes his report with this
Impressive statement:
Had the fatality and injury rate
for the English-speaking American
been maintained throughout the three
groups, there would have been a sav
ing of 716 fatalities and 900 very se
rious injuries, a strong argument for
Americanization and education of the
miner."
While at the present time there I
a school In one mine only, It is expect
ed that within the next month or tw
schools will be organized at each of the
other four or five big properties In the
Coeur d'Aleno district.
"Like every other novel enterprise
the school tins had to overcome a good
deal of skepticism and passive opposl
tlnn on the pnrt of some of those who
should he most concerned In its es
tnhllsliment, but this Is gradually fad
lug out as the practicability of the
scheme Is being demonstrated," Den
K A. Thomson of the University
School of Mines said.
Applications for enrollment far ex
coed the .present capacity ' of the
school.

BRITISH WOMEN SCORE A.GAIN
Gain Admission to Institution of Naval
Architects by Vote of 491
to 220.
London. British women have scored
a new triumph by obtaining admission
to the Institution of Naval Architects
as members. The vote taken by the
institute on the question was 491 to
2J0.
When the result was announced, Sir
Wllllani Smith moved that women be
admitted as members on equal terms
with men. Sir Alfred Ynrrow, in sec
onding the motion, mentioned the case
of women Joiners who were employed
n short time ngo In building a destroy
or. He said they made a "magnificent
Job of It," and the boat was accepted
by the admiralty without a demur. He
mentioned another boat which recent
ly attained a speed of 38.0 knots.
"That," said Sir Alfred, "Is the best
speed yet obtained. The lines of that
shin were determined partly by a
young Indy named Keary."

Animals Display Great
Intelligence When ill or
Hurt-Treat Themselves
Few people realize, notes a writer In
the Christian lierald, how many ani
mals are constantly getting hurt and
sick. Th wild animals seldom get
sick from what they eat, but the do
mestic animals frequently do. Wild
animals get Injured from fighting wltli
other animals of their kind or In fights
with animal enemies. In all cases,
animals have a way of doctoring them
selves that is remarkable. . .
Animals suffering from fever eat
nothing, keep quiet, seek darkness
and airy places, drink much water
and sometimes plunge Into the water
from time to time. When a dog has
lost Its appetite it eats that species of
grass known as "dog's grass." Cats
also eat grass, catnip, etc., when sick.
Sheep and cows in the same circum
stances seek out certain wild plants.
If an ant's foot is cut, other ants
will cover the wounded part with a
transparent fluid from their mouths.
If a chimpanzee Is wounded It stops
the flow of blood by placing Its hand
on the wound or dressing it with
leaves and grass.
A terrier had an Injured eye. It re
mained lying under a counter, avoid
ing heat and light, although It had
been Its habit to keep close to the fire.
It adopted the general treatment
rest and abstinence from food. The
local treatment consisted In licking
the upper surface-of Its paw, which it
then applied to the wounded eye,
again llcklnl the paw when it became
dry. Cats, when hurt, also treat
themselves by this simple method.
The methods adopted by most of the
Wild animals for doctoring them
selves are unknown to man, but there
Is no doubt that every animal has the
ability to skilfully doctor itself.

One often hears of "the glacial
period" or "the ice age" of the earth,
but, strictly speaking, this expression
Is not correct, avers a writer. It is
now established beyond all reasonable
doubt that this planet has experienced
not one but a great many glacial
periods. Evidence has been found
which proves that the latest or Pleis
tocene glacial epoch has several im
portant subdivisions and that all of
the present continents have experi
enced glacial epochs at 'different ages.
Creat Ice sheets were formed at dif
ferent periods back to the Proterozoic
age; that Is the age of the oldest
known sedimentary rocks, a great
many million years ago.
One of the most recent discover
ies of the old glacial deposits was
made by Professor W. W. Atwood of
the United States geological survey,
near Ridgway, in southwestern Colo
rado. These deposits were found be
neath tertiary lavas of the San Juan
mountains, and resting upon upper
Cretaceous beds. They have, it Is be
lieved, been formed in early Eocene
times.
Tlght-Flttino, Severely Tailored Out
fit Not 8o Much 8hown as Mora
Youthful Looking Model.
Whether to buy a tailored suit, or a
dress and separate coat, that is the
problem which confronts the woman
who goes forth at this time to spend,
her dress allowance, and this spring
thejjuestlon Is a puzzling one. Some
years are what the garment makers
call "suit years," when the problem is
settled, before we even begin to shop,
by the manufacturers; other years the
shops show nothing, comparatively -speaking,
but one-piece dresses and
coats. Bflt this year both suits and
dresses are shown in amazing variety,
and wise Indeed is the woman who has
looked over her wardrobe and reached
a decision as to what she needs, before
she goes to the stores.
The new. suits are distinctive In sev
eral ways. Coats are Just flnger-tlp
length, as a rule, and many of them
have the loose outside pocket effect
achieved by turning up the bottom of
the coat at the sides and In front. The
skirts are narrow, as rumor predicted
that they would be. The more ex
treme models have made allowance for
the wearer's need, either by slitting
the skirt at the back seam for a few
inches up the hem, or, as In Vine case,
by making the skirt with tle front and
back widths absolutely separate as far
up as the hips; these two sections
were then caught together at intervals
down the sides by short threads, heav
ily buttonholed, which held the two
sections together except when the
wearer was walking. When such skirts
as these are worn, there is worn also
a heavy satin slip, matching the skirt
in color.
The tight-fitting, severely tailored
suit Is not so much shown as are the
looser-coated, more youthful-looking
models. Narrow belts are on nearly
all of these Jackets, fastening at the
side ; the skirts of- the coats are rather .
full, and are quite apt to be lncon
splcuously trimmed. Embroidered silk
arrow heads make one such coat inter
esting; another is bound with narrory, '

Suit of Gray English Tissue.
flat, black . silk braid ; still another
harks back to the woven" ribbon work
In which our grandmothers delighted,
the skirt of the coat being made of
black ribbon, woven in a squared pat
tern with the blue trlcotine of which
the suit was made. Tucks, running
crosswise, relieve these short Jackets
of plainness, and sometimes, on suits
meant for formal wear, an embroider
ed band around the bottom edge of the
coat gives it distinction. One delight
fully simple suit of dark blue serge
had rather wide, rolled seams, which
made a decidedly Interesting 'finish.
The wide, scarf collar, one . end of
which Is thrown over the wearer's
shoulder, Is nearly always becoming,
but is, of course, Impractical on a suit
which must be worn on all occasions
and In all weathers, since its effect is
more becoming than trim.
