MINING INDUSTRY BOOMS IN INDIANA Outlook In Knox County Best In Years; Many Men Put To Work Vincennes, Ind.. !>«•<*. 8. — (United Pksm ) The outlook for the mining industry to Knox county is brighter today than it hus been in several Aniet ne N■>. lof the Knox onsoliua t'oal company opened up its norm workings, giving employ-] nient on a full time basis to all of its men. i From several months previous to today, the mine had been open only] on the south workings and the mln-j eis were employed nine days on and nine days off. j Reopening ,of the north workings gives fn I tone employment to approximately one thousand miners, in other mines in Knox county large forces of men ate at work. ■ American mine No. 2 is working -,00 men while the Indian Creek mine lias 650 men on its payroll. The number of men employed by other large mines in the county are: Parkwail. 250; Martin, 200; Knox, 3tH); and Westphalia. 225. Coal mined in Knox county is in good demand at fair prices, according to mine officials. The anthracite strike has contributed indirectly to the renewed prosperity of the local mines, which were hard hit the past two dr three years by the competition of coal mined in the non-union fields of West Virginia. The amount of anthracite coal used in Indiana is not sufficiently large for the calling of a hard coal strike to result in a scramble for substitutes in this state. Exhaustion of substitutes in the antiiracite consuming states of the east, however, has created a broader market for the Indiana bituminous coal. | With the opening up of the American No. 1 mine, a daily hoist of nearly 7,000 tons is expected. With only the south side working. a, daily hoist of 4.100 tons has been made during the last few weeks. This mine holds a record of a 7.300 ton hoist in one day, a record exceeded in the United States only by a mine at Zigler, 111., which made a hoist of 7.700 tons for one day. The record of 7,300 tons, for the American mine meant an average of four dumps a minute over a period of eight hours from a doisting distance of approximately 375 feet.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8,1925.

Indiana Co-eds Are Not Heavy Smokers Indianapolis, Dec. 8. (United Pressj—ln spite of the moaning ofj reformers that the girls of Indiana * are headed straight fur ruin because of indulgence in cigarettes and booze, there is very little smoking or drinking among the co-eds ut Indiana's largest universities. This wns revealed in statements Issued today by Carolyn Shoemaker, dean of Women at Purdue University and Agnes Wells, dean of women at Indiana University, Although there is no ironclad rule against the use of cigarettes by the co-eds at. Indiana less than 100 of the 1.464 students enrolled there use tobacco, it was said. Those who do occassionally take a I "drag" on a cigarette never light up on the campus or in the sorority houses. There is a national rule against smoking in sorority houses and not once in the history of Indiana has a girl been accused of smoking in a chapter house or in any building on i the campus. "The wish of President Bryan that girls do not smoke at Indiana is almost universally respected." Denn Wells said. At Purdue, likewise, there is no hard or fast rule against the use of nicotine by the co-eds but such rules are not necessary because there is little or no smoking among the girls, according to Dean Shoemaker. “It is not commonly known,” the dean continued, “that Purdue's campus is one of the few of the country where tradition rules there shall be no smoking within the confines of the University grounds by anyone "I feel that this tradition, which ’is lived up to religiously by all, has its effect on my girls. “Sororities at Purdue pride themselves that there has never been a necessity for a rule prohibiting smoking by co-eds and I feel that there is less indulgence in the praci tice here than in any siilar institu-

tion In the country.” I The statements of these deans of women sum up almost, exit !y the sentiments voiced by the deans of women at other Indiana colleges. All admitted there may be some few who oecasslonully puff u cigarette. but these fuw do it on the sly. It also is Ute belief of the deans that the girls who do smoke do not do it for any real enjoyment but merely to “be pood fellows and appear smart.” ——- ■ ■■—o —— SHRAPNEL FRAGMENT TRAVERSES MAN'6 BODY Grant City, Mo., Doc. 8. — (United Press)—Lieut. .1.
