DIG COAL STRIKE IS AJTOBILITY Question Will Be Settled at ' Miners' Meeting at Indianapolis. (National Nawa Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 15. Whether there will be a strike among the anthracite coal miners this spring will depend largely on the action taken at the annual convention of the United Mine Worker of America, which will convene here tomorrow and will continue in session for about two weeks. The contracts between the anthracite miners and the operators regulating the scale of wages, will expire this spring and one of the chief topics of discussion at the convention will be the wage scale. The committee In the eastern district had made arrangements to meet the operators and make their demands two weeks ago, but owing to a difference of opinion within their ranks, it was decided to postpone the negotla tions until after the convention. Precaution Is Taken. When asked his opinion of the probable results of the convention's consideration of the wage scale question. Secretary Udwln Perry stated thut no hlrt of the changes to be recommended by President White would be given until the opening of the big meeting. This precaution is taken to prevent foes of the present administration attending the convention fully prepared to defeat any legislative measure introduced by the executive officers. An advance publication of the President's report has been the means of frustrating the well laid plena of the executive officers on more than one occasion In the past. For several months .President White has been touring the country, addressing local unions and conferring with the various leaders of the miners' organizations. It Is supposed that the wage scale question was the chief sub(Jeot of these conferences and speech jet, but this cannot bo learned definitely, as President White refuses to be Interviewed. All of the twenty-tight districts com prising the American organization will be represented by delegates and the presidents of the districts and if the usual custom Is carried out these presidents will constitute a committee to consider questions on the wake scale, 'which promises to be the warmest proposition the delegates have handled In 7ears. Resolutions on the subject from miners from all parts of the country will be read and submitted to the committee of district presidents to report back to the convention for final actlon. The suggestions to be made by President White which have aroused the curiosity of the entire organization are expected to go a long way In Influencing the recommendations of the committee. i Ceenemy Campaign. 8everal constitutional amendments and the launching of a campaign for administrative economy are other Important matters to be discussed by the delegates. The amendments to be proposed are "purely techlncal and will cause no ma

terial change in the meaning of the rules now governing conventions. One recommendation that Is almost , certain to receive the backing of a majority of the delegates provides for the Insertion of a provision in the constitution for the establishment of a court in every district of the union 'for the purpose of trying members who are charged with, violating any policies of the organisation. The leaders In favor of this recommendation declare that the need of such 'courts will be made evident if the committee Investigating the theft of vots in the National election of 1911 files charges against any one for being responsible for the disappearance of 10,000 ballots, that are supposed to have been Eken from the union vault in the State tfe Building here. The missing Srotes were cast by the miners of several Illinois districts known to be (Strong supporters or President White. jThos. L. Lewis, the opposing candijdate who was president at the time 'baa repeatedly declared that he knows absolutely nothing about the theft. The committee conducting the investigation of the disappearance of the ballots will make a report to the convention, but It Is not known whether anyf one will be accused of the theft of the ' Urotes. Poor Constitution. Recommendations will also be made 'Tor the purpose of securing a more pecWcally worded constitution. The present loose wording of the constitution, according to Secretary Perry, has placed the organisation in embarrassing situations in several previous conventions: When the convention is called to order It is expected that 1600 delegates will be in their seats. The anti-administration men are determined to defeat the objects of President White ad bis backers and the sessions will undoubtedly be extremely bitter. John Mitchell, former president of the United Miners, is expected to atTOMMCE fiesta in cold we&ther. PcitkuUrly tdssted to old witn sssau cellar

a great : lawyer said

"If I had my way" a famous lawyer once ' said "I would make good health as contagious as measles." Just think of it suppose you could catch good health as easily as you catch cold this . would be a poor world for doctors and druggists. Mrs. T. A. Trapp who lives in Arlington, N. J., has found the next best thing to catching good health. She says A few weeks ago I contracted a cough which annoyed me a great deal as I was badly run down at the time. It kept me awake at night and distressed me greatly. After two weeks of this I began to take Vinol and one bottle not only caused my cough to disappear, but I feel much better in every way and can sleep well again." If you can't literally "catch" good health, you can at least recover it and build yourself up by, taking our delicious cod liver and iron remedy, Vinol. It makes weak folks strong, and we guarantee it to give perfect satisfaction. Ycur money back if it does not. Leo H. Fihe, Druggist, Richmond, Indiana. THE CARE OF THE HAIR.

Try it just once. tend the convention for the purpose of supporting President White and his staff of officers in the event of an attempt on the part of Ex-President Lewis and his adherents to wage a fight on the policies indorsed by the prcbent administration. The committees on constitutional amendments, resolutions and grievances held meetings here for the last three days and have now completed the reports that will be made when called for by the convention. The regular legislative sessions of the convention will not begin until Wednesday morning as tomorrow will be spent in hearing addresses by Gov. Marshall, of Indiana; Mayor Shank, ol Indianapolis; and C. lladley, president of the Commercial club. SIZE OF WHALES. Length of the Biggest Ones and the Height They Can 8pout. A government official who has made n special study of whales states that the average length of u full grown sulphur bottom whale Is just under eighty feet. This estimate disregards the exaggerated reports sometimes spread by sailors and Is based on actual measurements of mnny Individual specimens. There seem to be creuihle accounts of whales reaching a length of from elghty-flve to nlnetyflve feet, but the authority quoted has never seen any of that size. Whales appear to grow with great rapidity, the length of yearlings being estimated at from thirty to thlrty-flre feet. How high can whales spout? Photographs taken by the scientist referred to give a means of measuring with some accuracy the height to which the water Is thrown. This appears to be much less than It has often been supposed to be. It is claimed that even the great sulphur bottom whale on the average spouts to a height of only fourteen feet, although occasionally the height may be as much as twenty feet. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. A Just Beast. In the days when the late archbishop of Canterbury. Dr. Frederick Temple, was master of Rugby he sentenced to expulsion a boy who was innocent of the offense charged against him. but wbo could not clear himself without exposing the real offender. The lad made up his mind to bear the punishment and wrote, to his father saying that be was sure bis family would rather have him expelled than know him to be a sneak. The father promptly sent the letter to Dr. Temple, calling attention to a postscript In which the boy said he wished the doctor to understand the matter and added. "Temple is a beast, but be Is a Just beast." It Is on record that Temple did understand, and fhe boy was not expelled. Dr. Temple, grim old man that he was. was always proud of the title "a just beast" Snake Skin. The finest and most expensive leather goods are produced nt Chanchanfoo, in China.

THE FARCE OF THE

If You Want to Be Sent to Five Cents from the Minors in i BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "The enforcement of law is a curi- ' ous thing," said the observer, i "The 'enforcement' did you say?" asked the doctor. "When I used the word 'enforcement, " said the observer, "I did so in lieu of the poverty of our language. There is no word that would adequ- . ately and accurately describe the ex- : traordinary acrobatics performed in , the name of the law." "I agree with you," said the doctor. , "Now if I had my way " I "If you had your way," interrupted , the observer, "we'd have to take to , cover, for anarchy would reign." I "Not at all," said the doctor blandly. I "Just because I have unusually sane j but what many people regard as revoI lutionary views on the social system ! I am relegated by the assinine aver- ; age, which can't see anything that hasn't been platted out by their an- ' cestors or chartered by their contem poraries, to the crank dump. "But what called forth your original remark?" he interpolated. "Oh nothing and yet something, too," said the observer. "I was just thinking of Jack's boy," he murmured regarding the end of his cigar contemplatively. "I thought perhaps you were going to give the murder trial a whack," said the doctor. "So I was and yet, oddly enough, it was mixed up with Jack's boy, although the two seem rather remote." "Now what I"d like to know is," went on the observer, "on what does a jury actually base its decisions cutting out the judge's instructions, the lawyers arguments and their own attention to the testimony which are the things the public believes alone influence their arrival at a conclusion. "In instance here was a man who openly admitted he had killed another man and if he hadn't a lot of people saw him do it. But he didn't seek to sidestep the proposition himself. And yet he was acquitted." "Well, so far as that is concerned," said the doctor, "you know my views I'd acquit everybody. The whole subject of the treatment of criminals is radically wrong. It presupposes the existence of criminals. I don't, as you know, believe there is any such class. Or, rather, I shouldn't put anybody into such a classification." "You must admit, however " "I certainly do admit that, under the present regime there is nothing in human experience to justify the absurdities of the meting out of alleged justice. "And," said the observer, "they presented bim his pistol and knife on a Bilver salver after the trial. I'm not sure they didn't apologize for bothering him." "I heard a funny thing about that case," said the doctor. "Of course I don't say its true but it sounds as probable as anything else. One of the jurors said he and another man hung out for a sentence. That he thought the man was guilty of a crime against the law. That the other man came to him and said now look here, we might as well give in. I think he's guilty, too. but you know how these people are if they find out you and I wanted to sentence him we may be stabbed in the back some dark night when we're passing an alley. Besides I've got to go home and look after the farm. If we hang out we'll stay here for days and as there isn't any money in it anyway what's the use? So we joined the others." "Yes," said the observer, "that's about as near as they get to it." "The whole thing's a farce," said the doctor. "Then they turn round and send some boy to the penitentiary for fourteen years for stealing thirty cents out of a corner grocery till. A boy, too, without any criminal instincts, who might have been a decent citizen if be had had the proper parental training yet branded for life as a criminal and convict for a boyish escapade.

High school boys and girls have no business belonging to secret societies. That's where Jack's boy comes in." "Well" said the doctor, "why don't they bar 'em out. The schools are against them. The parents are against them. The public is against 'em. Then why don't they cut 'em out?" "Why! sure enough!" said the observer. "Because somebody at the head of things hasn't got enough backbone to tear the whole thing out by the roots and throw It on the brush-heap." "If, however," said the observer, "the boys behaved themselves it wouldn't be so bad. But they don't. The little idiots think its smart to get drunk and carouse around and because nobody cd4ns down on them like a thousand f brick they think they can do as they please." "Here's Jack's boy. He says the boys know where they get the stuff to drink that the police know that everybody concerned knows. And yet when the thing is brought to a head before the Jegal tribunal the latter says there isn't enough evidence. "Its against the law to sell liquor to minors. And yet the minors get it and get drunk on it. Everybody knows this. Why don't they clean it up?" "That's just where I come in," said the doctor. "Its our condemned social system. It has too many ramifications. Because you belong to this or that, and Jack's father belongs to this or that, and because somebody else is related to somebody else that owes somebody else and has a note in the bank, and because I myself like to slip up and down Sailor street, and because somebody else is going to run for office and doesn't want to offend the other person who belongs to a union which may blacklist him at election time and all that you know." "Oh, yes,"' said the observer. "You can't do anything. In the meantime Jack's boy and a lot of other irresponsible youngsters, who think its cute to be bad are going to the devil generally. Everybody deplores it and yet nobody's got the courage to do anything." "So far as that goes," said the doctor, "there are perfectly respectable saloon-keepers who are anxious to observe the law. They'd be glad to enforce the law with regard to minors if they had any assistance from the officers. A saloon-keeper is a human being and is apt to think that his business, properly conducted, is just as legitimate as running a dry-goods store or a bake-shop. "He'd be very glad to .loin in with the local official machinery to run to cover those of his confreres who bring reproach on him by ignoring the law." "The whole thing," said the doctor, "is a ridiculous mess. Its a sardonic reflection on our civilization, however, when a handful of little boys considerably under age can openly, defiantly and impertinently defy state, municipal and social law just because they are under age and they know that they NEVER JUT INDIGESTION, 9R A SOUR, UPSET, A little Diapepsin will make you feel fine in five minutes.

The appointments for some of the weddings which have been celebrated in Indianapolis recently have had a decided tendency toward elaborate simplicity. Though they were the most costly witnessed by local society during the season outwardly they were as plain and simple as possible, and in perfect keeping with the youth and beauty of the brides. One of the most recent weddings of note was characterized by the absence of any striking colors or any combination of colors. The entire house was exquisitely trimmed with a profusion of lovely white flowers. The ceremony rooms were arranged with a white trellis entwined with clusters of white sweet peas and lilies of the valley and the top was capped with French baskets of Bermuda lilies, narcissuses, sweet peas and lilies of the valley. The whole effect was wonderfully charming. The embellishments for the small guest tables were like those of the bridal table and were adorned with a mound of narcissuses, sweet peas, lilies of the valley and orchids, with flat runners, which extended to the ends of the table. At this and several recent weddings, the bride and bridegroom stood at the end of the room farthest from the door to receive their friends, the bride's mother standing at the first door and receiving the guests. This young bride also departed from the time-worn "going away" custom, which demands that a bride shall go immediately to her carriage when she has changed her wedding gown for her tailored suit, but in this case and her example has been followed by several other fashionable brides she returned to the reception room and said good-bye to her relatives and in timate friends, whom she had previously asked to remain to "see her off." When she entered her carriage the quaint old custom of throwing an old white satin slipper after the departing bride and bridegroom 'was observed. The throwing of rice has been displaced by the shower of rose petals. These are handed around in dainty litBRAZILIAN BALM "The Old Reliable" is magic for coughs, grip, croup, asthma, catarrh and quick consumption to the last i stage. KILLS THE GERMS!

Good ShootHt. The story below of certain TkMa mountaineers whose patriotism was only equaled by their marksmanship, is one told by C K. Bolton in the American Historical Review. In 1773 500 . recruits were needed, bnt many more came forward, and the commanding officer decided on a shooting match to determine their proficiency. A board one foot square, bearing a chalk outline of a nose, was nailed to a tree at a distance of ISO yards. Those who came nearest the mark with a single bullet were to bo enlisted. The first forty or fifty men who shot cut tho nose entirely out of the board.
