LURE HOPE OF
E
TRINIDAD, Colo., April 28. With
men working in relays, bracing the
workings as they go, every effort
was being made early today to reach
the 113 men still entombed in tho
Hastings mine No. 2 of the Victor-
American Fuel company, near here,
whore nn explosion occurred yestor-
day mornings, Just what caused tho
disaster Is as much a mystery now
as It was then. Itescue crews, a mlno
official said, had found "five or six'
bodies at 2 o'clock this morning, but
had removed none. One hundred and
nineteen men were entombed.
Tho same official, asked if there
was hope any of the other wore alive,
said: "Wo always have hope."
The rescuo crews are unable to
make their way down the main mine
slope, but by working along the air
way have gono a considerable dis
tance into it," according to a mine
company offlcor.
Ml llo llopo of Itescue.
There havo been some falls," this
officer said, "but nothing more seri
ous in the airway so far."
Tho working In which the men are
entoinbod is a running tunnel, open
ing from the main mine entrance.
Above, this bIbo opening from the
main entrance, lc an almost level tun
nel, abandoned some time ago. For
several years this hag been on fire.
Since it was abandoned, however, and
the fire was only smouldering, It was
'sealed" off from tho rest of the mine
with an air tight wall and work con
tinued much as usual in tho othor
sections.
Air ducts run into tho slope whero
tho men wero trapped. Air In un
usually Inrgo amounts has been
pumpod Into these ever since the fire
was discovered, In the hope that it
was reaching tho men and might keep
some of thorn from suffocating.

FOR FRANCE
EY DERTON BRALEY
They said that her strength was departed
Her men wero decadent, effete
Her women were vain and cold-hearted
When suddenly came the loud beat
Of drums In a militant measure
And lo, through the nation's expanse
Her people gave Ilfehlood and treaauie
For Franco.
With banners that scornfully flaunted
Her foes swarmed upon her to find
A grim visaged people, undaunted
Who fought with one boiiI and one mind;
Who turned from their laughter and singing,
Against the steel hail to advance,
With ever this battle cry ringing
"For France!"
Oh land that Is wondrous in story ,
With chronicles tragic and gay,
Tho Past has no record of glory
More noble than yours of Today. ,
Our strength and our wealth we are plighting
To aid you, we thrill at the chance
To fight besido thoso who are fighting
"For France!"

Wearing false hair is a harmless

Fiiilty. These women aro all objects

I Early neglect in tho care of the

hair that their personal appearance
is sadly marred. To correct this de
fect they resort to artificial hair
hoping by so doing to hide the re
sults of their earlier inattention to
the details of their toilet. These un
