John Hertz—His Sigh. By Arthur Brisbane ICH Americans sena their dol- lars off to Europe with their daughters, little knowing how those dollars or daughters will come back. Sometimes dollars-stay and daugh- ters come back with a divorce and experience, Sometimes daughters and dollars stay, and the next gen- eration returns to surprise the man that made the dollars, Old Levi Leiter of Chicago, whose money established the fortune of Lord Curzon in England, would be surprised to meet his granddaughter, lady Cynthia Mosiey. Behold, she comes to the United States for a visit, speaking .n English of which old Leiter would understand not one word, and she is a Socialist. spend- ing the Leiter money to get into liament on the labor ticket. ‘an't you imagine Levi Leiter turning in his grave like an electric fan?

Saved almost miraculously from | the “black-damp" which chokes out men’s lives, the miners revealed upon release from their horrible en- tombment that two more of their number could have beem saved had they followed Fetty's advice. As It was, the men perished either from the mine explosiom or the aftermath of damp. In the simple language of mine folks, Fetty told the United Press today how ho had despaired and started to scribble out his will when something—hope, he termed it— seized him and his companions and put them to work fighting off the damp in their mine mule stable, two miles away from the mine mouth. “I had even pulled out a scratch pad and started to write my will,” sald Fetty, who has spent 37 years in the mines, “But with this done, somehow, we all got hopeful again. “So I tore the thing up. “But, to start at the beginning, John MeNell (60-year-old compression engineer) and I were together when pertaining to highway building. the explosion occurred Thursday night.
