One of the fundamental weaknesses of the

mining industry is - a surplus ot miners, it is ; estimated - that our , normal consumption of 500,000,000 tons could be produced by between

zoU.UOO and 300,000 less miners,

:day in the year, than are employed in the industry now. ' - , At first glance one would believe that this t excess labor power would seek employment in t other industries, or if it were employed contin- ; uously, would mine so much coal that there would be a big surplus of fuel, which in turn would . bring down the price. . But neither of these things takes place. The miners stay at their posts and the production is

Joa Miller was an English com?,dian who lived from 1684 until 1738. So illiterate that he was unable to , read, he married that he might have - someone to read his parts to him. ' About this time it became tbe-voguc .-to publish books of joke3, attributing 4 them to some one person. A year r .after Miller's aeath John Mottley com- . piled a book of 72 pages containing "247 jests and called it Joe Miller's Jest3. Only three were in any way " connected with the actor. Many editions have been printed. In 1745 tha number of jokes included had risn . to 587 and by the middle of the nina..teenth century to 1546. Q. Is grapefruit more akin to oranges or to lemons? F. H. A. All three belong to the citrus family, but the grape fruit more near-

ly approaches the orange in amount

of sugar and citric acid it contains than the lemon. Q. What part of the railroads re- ;. ceipts are paid out for labor? J. E. H. A. In 1920 the total operating rev- . enues of railways of Class I amounted . to $6,178,438,459. Of this, $3,424,075,109 was paid in salaries and wages, exclusive of that portion of the pay- ; roll chargeable to Capital Account. In 1921 ths corresponding fleures were r $6,516,556,462 and $2,585,329,497. In 1920, 55.4 cents in each dollar went to labor, and in 1921, 46.9 cents. Q. What was the origin of the name

' of Bridget? E. A. E. A. There is much romance identified - with the name Bridget which was first used by the ancient Celts. The or- - iginal form of the name was Brighid, 1 indicating strength. One legend is to the effect that the first girl to bear! the name was a daughter of Erse, god-1 (less of wisdom and poetry, and the : god of fire. The Scotch version of , the name was "Bride." Another bit of Irish folklore has it after St. Pat- ' rick got through with his job of rid- ; ding Ireland of snakes he took up the t problem of supplying the people with a fit substitute for their heathen goddess. With this in mind he selected a pretty Irish lass just freed from a king's bondage and re-baptized her Brighid. She became famous as St. Bridget and was mother superior of T a convent with 500 nuns. The name , Bridget became popular throughout ; the British Isles and modified versions ; of It are found in all European countries.

kept down to the point of consumption. This! condition prompts the Chicago Tribune to deduce that the miners and operators have upset the law of supply and demand. "That is, indeed, an achievement," it says. "They have altered the normal economic processes until the more the miners the higher their wage, and the more the potential production of coal the higher the price." But whatever the economic phases of the coal mining, industry may present, the public knows that it must pay the price for an apparent inconsistency of the economic law. Coal now i3 much higher than it was last spring. In the In

about a coal

diana field, Gov. McCray in his speech here said, the price of labor was the same as that which

prevailed in March. He feared that the operators would try to take advantage of the situation

to boost prices

He is trying to prevent this by moral suasion and an aroused public opinion, both of which may not be very effective weapons. Barring legal

working every

machinery, they are the only weapons which the governor can use. If the operators are guided by wisdom, they will realize that the quickest

way to bring about a legal regulation of their industry is an outrageous price for coal in the present emergency. Neither miners nor operators favor state or federal control of the industry

and the public regulate industry,

mercifully by the operators this winter supervision of the coal industry will follow.

TODAY1S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It." "Up" BREATHING, SLEEPING AND EATING. The most marvelous machine in this world is yours your own body! And yet the chances are that you appreciate it the least and know less about it than anything you own. So long as nothing serious goes wrong, the body seems to be left to itself to shift its way the best it can. It is given only half enough real air, ,its food is carelessly selected and as carelessly eaten and it is given rest only as a last resont. No wonder so many useful men and women fall before the battle is half over! J. Arthur Thomson, in his wonderful "Outline of Science," says that the ordinary desk worker uses only about one-tenth of his lung power, and wonders how you could expect anything but an anaemic body from such treatment. Red blood comes from oxygen. In a deep breath, says this same authority, you breathe a whole gallon of air, whereas the ordinary person takes but two quarts. Get plenty of fresh air, both day and night then watch the "roses' com eback to your cheeks, elasticity to your steps and the tingling of health to your entire body. And when you take your brisk walk, remember that every step brings into play 54 separate muscles and that 300 muscles are given a hearty shaking up as you walk merrily along. Now as to sleeping. Professor Thomson says that the first hour is the "beauty sleep" that during that time the brain life is entirely suspended and the blood is busy feeding the tired muscles of the body. After that comes a subconscious existence and later the dreams, until tha body is aroused from its adventure and told that another day has arrived. It is in eating, however, that we are either made or unmade. It wa3 Horace Fletcher who was given up to die in middle life, because of a broken and wasted body. But this man was of such a caliber that he proposed not to die. So he reasoned things out and began eating anything he wanted to but chewing it until it disappeared as liquid. His health returned and so great was his strength that in tests he defeated the strongest young men at Yale University. And he lived for nearly a quarter of a century longer! - - Nature is very great. It has its own "policemen," self-appointed as guards for the safety of us all. When we swallow a mouthful of food, it goes through a passage 28 feet in length before all the useful qualities are extracted and sent through the blood to givo us health and strength. Can't you imagine how great the returns would be if you used care in the selection and eating of everything that went into this great canal? These same "policemen" could 6leep a little on duty if you did more of your duty. Here is some good advice: Breathe deeply, sleep much mostly early in the night and eat slowly and thoroughly! And I miss my guess if you are not "healthy, wealthy, and wise!"

Day's News

LORD CURZON Great Britain's confidence in Lord Curzon is indicated again by the action of Premier Lloyd George in sending the British foreign minister to Paris after a lengthy cabinet session to deal directly with the French government regarding the Turkish crisis. Curzon's instructions were to point out to the French leaders that "bigger issues than Turkey are at stake." Lord Curzon who accepted the portfolio o f foreign minister on the re tirement of Sir Ar thur James Balfour, is the son of a clergy peer. He was born in 1859, went to Eton and Balliol college, Oxford and became assistant private secretary to Lord Salisbury when the latter was premier. ; That was in 1S85. The same year he attempted to get into the house of j commons and failed. He was more successful the following year, when he i was returned as conservative member for the Southport division of Lancashire. He resigned to go to India, where he acted as viceroy from 1899 to 1905. On his return from the far east and after the death of his first wife he dropped out of prominent public life and traveled in central Asia, Afghanistan, the Pamirs, Siam, Indo-China, and Korea, and turned out a number of books. But with the war, the grave of so many men's reputations and the cradle of still more others, he became lord president of the council, leader of the house of lords, and president of the newly formed air board. Already, in 1911, he had been created Earl Curzon of Kedleston. He was raised to the marquisate very recently. His elevation to the Mgr. Marquisate i3 quite recent. ' And when Arthur James Balfour re tired from the foreign office Curzon took over the reins. THIEF ESCAPES ON COW TOLEDO, Ohio, Sept 22 A male thief, masquerading as a woman, stole a cow from the barn of Harry Jenkinc, Holland, Ohio, farmer. When pursued by Jenkins, the thief straddled the animal's bark and rode through a field, when he dismounted and escaped on foot. Jenkins told Toledo police he could see the fugitive's trousers underneath a skirt.

Nose Prints of Animals Breeders Experiment With Method to Identify Particular Animals and Prevent Theft.

By FREDERICK J. HASKIN WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 22. Nose prints of animals as a means ot identifying them are now a subject of experiment. Since the finger print of a human being has been proved a distinctive mark of identification, speculation has arisen as to whether a nose print of a cow or dog would not be equally reliable. Nose prints of several hundred cows have been made at the University ot Minnesota, with encouraging results Fred Sandberg, a detective of police headquarters in this city, made some prints of cows at the Soldiers' Home the other day and is planning similar tests with dogs. Mr. Sandberg, who is a finger print expert, explains that he made his experiment largely through curiousity. He was interested in seeing how the nose prints would look and whether rany standard patterns would recur in different animals. There Is a fine herd of Holstein cows at the Soldiers' Home in this city, and he went there carrying a tube of finger, print ink, a plate of glass, some paper, and a piece of cloth. The ink first was spread over the glass. The cow's wet muzzle was dried with a cloth, and the inked slass was quickly rubbed over the muzzle. Then the glass was handed to an assistant and a eheet of paper pressed dexterously against the inky muzzle. Nose printing a cow proved to be an operation requiring at once patience and speed, especially speed. The first time that Sandberg tried the process the cow rolled out her long tongue and licked off the ink before the paper could be applied. After that the detective worked fast and obtained a number of clear prints. The prints are about three by two inches, and look somewhat like little pictures of animal skins. They havt the shape of a flattened skin, curving in at both sides wnere the nostrils join the muzzle. The resemblance is farther carried' out by the markings which in these particular cows are mottled and spotty like a leopard skin. Some of the prints have a clear space down the middle, while in others there is no symmetry in the pattern. Family Noses Are Similar. It was found at the University ol Minnesota that a slight similarity exists between the prints of cows belonging to the same family. Certain lines seem to be hereditary, a fact which might be of importance in a controversy over the breed of a cow.

liminary stage, experiments have indicated that each print has Individuality. The cows and calves at the University were made the subjects of a series of tests to determine whether the pattern of muzzle changes with time or with the process of growth, apparently it does not change. The pattern becomes larger but retains ita peculiar formation. The nose print method of identifying an animal may have practical value.. in the opinion of a local breeder. It is barely possible that nose printing may supplement branding for identi fying range cattle. Frequently these animals stray away or are stolen, and the brands are not difficult to change. If a ranch owner kept a set of nose prints of his stock, he might more cartainly prove ownership in case of a dispute. The nose print idea, however, is suggested chiefly for valuable pedi greed animals. Suppose you go to a farm to select a pure bred cow forj purchase. Out of a herd of fine black j Galloways you choose a desirable ani-1 mal. A few weeks later the cow is I eMnnAil 1T1n 9 n .v I" . . . 1 3 .. . ! that the cow you receive is, or is not, the one that you pointed out to th? owner? Probably not in the case of this breed, for each cow is black. The owner might have no intention to ship the wrong cow, but In a large herd a mistake could easily occur. This could happen in the case of a number of breeds of cattle especially such breeds as the Red Poll, the Jersey, and Aberdeen-Angus, which arc solid or marked with comparative uniformity. The Holstein-Friesian, with its mottled coat, and Hereford, wit a peculiar markings of white on face and shoulders, present fewer difficulties. When a pure bred cow is registered, the individual markings are drawn on the record sheet on a printed outline of a cow. But even when an animal has peculiar marks supplementalmeans of identification do not come amiss. Various attempts are made by owners to insure identification. In a herd of pure bred cows each is always kept in a special stall and in a certain pasture. Some Cows Marked by Chains. Jersey cows are often marked by a chain fastened around one horn with a number on the padlock. This method ot identification is said fo be an old custom in the Island of Jersev. anA it has been adopted for this particular breed in this country as well. Other breeds are sometimes marked by a metal tag fastened in one ear. These marns of ownership, however, can be removed. Lately pigs have been marked by a novel metnod of tatooing. Fhonograph needles are set on end in metal so that the points form a nnmhor' This stencil is then dipped in a harm less Kina or paint, and thn hn? marked by quickly imprinting the tat ioo laoei in ms thick skin as he run past me man with the stencil.

IStt. ty PubHc Ledger Company The animals he selects are tested and found free from tuberuclosis. If he should make and keep nose prints of the cattle, that is,' assuming that the idea proves practical, he could satis fy myself that he receive the test ed cows. The main objection to the nose print system is that it would involve expense if it were used as a part of registry procedure. Registering cattle is already an expense to the far mer. Only about one-fifth of the cure bred dairy cattle in the country are registered, mainly because of the cost, although having cattle registered is an advantage when it comes to selling them. A buyer of unregistered cattle takes, a chance on his judgement and on the honesty of the owner. He has no official knowledge of animal's pedigree or record. If nose prints were'added to the registry system, the books of records which are filed at the breeders' association headquarters would have to be printed differently. A place for the nose print to be pasted on would have to be arranged and the record keeping would be somewhat changed. The result would probably to an increase in the cost of registering cattle. The cost of making prints to be kept at home for his own reference would not be very expensive for a cattle owner, however. It is claimed by some students that every creature has some point or points of individuality. Zebras, for instance, are popularly supposed to be marked with regular, candy cane stripes.
