MAY RESORT TO MARTIAL LAWTO OPERATE MINES Illinois Executive Likely to Be Driven to Extremes by Peculiar State Law. By United Pre SPRINGFIELD, 111., July 19.—8 y reason of its peculiar law, Illinois may have to resort to martial law, if the Governor is to comply with President Harding's call upon the State executives to give miliary protection for the resumption of coal mining. The statute requires all miners to pass a safety test before a board of three men, miners themselves to qualify for work in underground work, ings. It is certain that this board would refuse to pass strikebreakers for such employment. Attorney General Brundage holds, however, that the law can be nullified by a declaration of martial law. Troops Are Ready A dispatch from Battle Creek, Mich., says that Governor Small has sent orders to the Illinois troops at Camp Custer to prepare for a general review, and it is reported at the camp that this is preparatory to transfer to the coal fields. Acting Governor Fred E. Sterling, who is here, refuses to comment on President Harding’s call further than to say that “the situation in Illinois Is different from any other coal-pro-ducing State.” President Frank Farrington of the Illinois United Mine Workers of the World is on his way to Springfield, and Sterling says he may confer with him concerning the situation. Will Reopen Mines By United Press PITTSBURGH. July 19.—Western Pennsylvania coal operators today accepted President Harding’s invitation to reopen mines under protection of State police and National Guards. The wages will be those in effect in November, 1917. The following statement was issued- “ The operators generally feel that the statement'made by the President of the United States, together with assurances of proper protection, have greatly clarified the situation and will result in an Increase in the pro- j duction of coal. This will be par- | ticularly true in the non-union fields of the State, inasmuch as the many > promises made to the unfortunate men j who ceased work at the request of j the union have failed to materialize." j Issues an Appeal DES MOINES, lowa, July 19.—De- j daring the general welfare Os ‘ the public transcends in importance the j issues in the coal dispute. Governor I Kendall today urged the lowa operators and miners, as a “patriotic duty,” to at once resume mining operations. The Governor declared the full protection of the State and national Government was back of the move for resumption of mining. GOING TO CUBA Ocean-Going Vessels With Oar Equipment Permitted to Pass. DETROIT, Mich. —Sea-gt ing vessels with only oar equipment are now traversing the Detroit River. A small punt, less than seven feet in length, loaded with whisky, was spied by a United States patrol boat in the river. Officers of the patrol boat and Government agents hurried to the punt with the expectation of seizing the liquor, but it was not to be. “What have you there?” they asked the small man who was sculling the boat. "Whisky,” he replied. “Where is it bound for?" he was asked. “To Cuba,” he responded, and to prove his statement he produced clearance papers from Canada. He was allowed to proceed. SMOKY CITY GROWING Unparalleled Building Program Uses Available Labor.

Hospital Rules Often Displease Patients

' By XORA KAY Hospital life has its humorous phases, even though often it is hard to decide whether a case is amusing or Just plain aggravating, according to Dr. Richard A. Poole, superintendent of the city hospital. “For instance, there are the cases of foreigners. They can't understand what we are doing, and they always suspect the worst,” said Dr. Poole. Thought Son Dead “One woman who couldn't understand English, brought her son to the hospital. We found he had scarlet fever and put him In the contagious ward. "The next day, his mother came and was refused admission to the room. She concluded he was dead and set up such a wail that we finally had to move the patient’s bed so that It could be seen from the door. If we hadn't done that I bet she’d have been wailing yet. Anti-Bath Patients. “Then there are the anti-bath patients. Once in a while we pick one up who looks as if he didn't know what the purposes of water and soap are. Os course, that may strike some people as funhy, but it didn’t seem that way to the unlucky orderly who had to give one of our recent patients his first bath. Allowed to Soak “He put him to soak for an hour or so, perfumed the water with our strongest disinfectant and re-enforced it with the most dirt-dissolving soap he could find. Then he took a big chew of tobacco to counteract the mingled odors and announced, ‘I can go through it now!' “Drug cases make’ trouble for us, too. We get them here who don’t want to be cured, and their families try in every possible way to slip drugs in to them. They even try to conceal dope in innocent looking food. Doughnuts Not Palatable “And. speaking of food, it seems to he the idea among a lot of people that if a patient wants greasy doughnuts and the hospital won’t feed them to him, it’s because the hospital is opposed to making patients happy. Give them just what they want, seems to be the motto of the visiting relatives, and they think we are selfish because we insist on censoring the food they bring In. Booze Conditions Better “Things are much better now than they used to be iiwsome lines of our work,” Dr. Poole concluded optimistically. “It has been months since we have had a real case of D. T. in the ward that used to be full of such cases. Os course we get men in once

MAIL SERVICE BY AIR SHOWS MARKED GAINS One Year of Continuous Operation Without Single Death Is Record. By United Xetcs WASHINGTON The Government Air Mail Service has completed a year’s daily service without a single fatal accident. During this time planes flying on the New York to-San Francisco route covered 7,750.000 miles. More than 49,000,000 letters, totaling 1,224,500 pounds, were transported by air. Through every kind of weather, summer and winter, over mountains, deserts and forest, the postal planes flew, setting up anew record in the percentage of trips actually com. pleted. While routes totaling 820 miles were discontinued during the last fiscal year and only the transcontinental route of 2,680 miles maintained, the air mail service nevertheless carried the same amount of mail as it did last year, or 23 -per cent more in each airplane load. Officials of the air mail service attributed the record of no fatal accident in a year to the fact that all their pilots now are experienced and tried and know the route. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, seventeen persons died in accidents in the air mail service. Many of the fatalities occurred with the metal monoplanes which were abandoned. During the last fiscal year one pilot was killed, on July 16, 1921. No man has met death in the , Govempient air mail service since then. In the last year on flyer has been in the hospital more than five days. Great speed, possible by the use of the air mail, is shown by the fact that mail sent from New York has been delivered to San Francisco three days later.

AWAIT A SUNNY DAY WHEN LODGE IS RE-ELECTED Bay State Farmers, Republicans, Dislike Travel to POII3 in the Rain. By ROBERT J. BEXDER. United Senes Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON While Massa chusetts political leaders believe there is little likelihood of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge falling from his pinnacle in the November elections, they declare they’d be more certain if they knew what the weather would b<f Paradoxical as it might seem, a big rainfall in Massachusetts at the right time might defeat Lodge. Massachusetts, and in fact all New lUngland, originated that political saying that “rainy weather is Democratic weather.” The reason for this is that a hundred Bay State political battles have demonstrated that the cities generally go Democratic, rain or shine, while the Republican majorities are piled up in the farm districts only in fair weather. Massachusetts is actually a doubtful State —always is. It has now one Democratic and one Republican Senator. Lodge, in his last election, won by only a narrow margin over John J. Fitzgerald, his Democratic oppo-

out, give them a few days rest and they are back to normal again, ready to take another chance. And that’s just what most of them do, too.”

nent. In the last twelve years the annual election to the Governorship has been about equally divided between the parties, although Republicans have usually controlled other State offices and the Legislature. Massachusetts cities, with few ex ceptions, are usually overwhelmingly Democratic. The rural regions, on the other hand, Invariably are counted on for Republican majorities. The reason Is this: Fifty years ago there was scarcely a Democrat in Massachusetts or in all Ne<w England. In the seventies the immigrants began to pour Into the In dusfrial cities and, because of the hard time they had, they naturally flocked to the opposition party. Furthermore, their families have averaged more than double the number of those of native New Englanders. Hence, the Republican party In Massachusetts has a larger proportion of old men In Its ranks than the Dean ocratlc opposition. In addition, the Democrats are preponderously town dwellers and, consequently, are much nearer their Individual voting precincts. So. on a rainy day, this makes a big difference. It is generally believed now that Lodge will not have serious competi tlon In the primaries for his nomlna tlcn. He unquestionably will be the Republican standard bearer at the November election. His name and political record stand in Massachusetts like a proud page In a State’s history Many who don’t like him personally esteem his reputation to the point that they will vote for him.

The change was made.

FIRE DRILL AND SMOKE OF MANY CIGARSENJOYED Visitors at State Meeting of Firemen Are Thrilled by Exhibitions. By XORA KAY All the thrills of a regular fire except the flames were put on for the benefit of the Indiana State Firemen’s Association at the demonstration today in the drill yard at fire headquarters. There was considerable smoke, but only from the cigars of the visiting delegates. The fire alarm was there, and the shiny red trucks and the 65-foot ladder and little nozzles and big nozzles and a lot of real water to go through them. One Interested spectator from Chicago became so absorbed that he didn’t notice the water being turned on until his new Palm Beach was generously sprinkled. Battalion Chief H. H. Fulmer clanged into the drill yard in true business style and an interesting program was executed, ending with demonstrations of how to go up the sixty-five-foot ladder and down again in much less time than it takes a flapper to powder her nose.
