The 1923 crop of coal will have more than its usual sprinkling of human blood. The explosion at Kem- merer, Wyoming, took almost 100 lives. The explosion at Dawson, New Mexico, took 125 lives. There have been many smaller disasters. And yet— “Investigations carried on by the bureau of mines for more than 10 years have demonstrated beyond question of doubt that such spreading of coal dust explosions can be prevented. Responsibility for this rests with the mine managements.” H. Foster Bain, director of the United States bureau of mines, makes that statement. Deaths, per ton of coal mined, continue to be from twice to three times as numerous in America as in Euro- pean countries. Melancholy days have come, Saddest of the year, All of us are sad because of heavy underwear. Chicago detectives find a man was lying or sitting when shot. He may have been doing both, “The world is so full of a number of things,” wrote Stevenson. now it is goose pimples. Right Christmas is getting so near it is almost time for little boys to want to go to Sunday school. Scientific Correction “Drawing a footh is the extreme of human pain. The rupture of a branching dental nerve causes such agony as no human being could stand for more than two seconds at a time.” Thus says an Eastern scientist, and it is not well that Such a statement be permitted to go circling ’round with- out refutation. There is, wh this very town of Seattle, a citizen, a poised, peace-loving, law-abiding citizen, who, at 10:15 a.m. of Wednesday of last week, had a tooth to be drawn. There were five draws. Two seconds? Thunder! Two years! The operator’s forceps slipped five separate times, all with dental nerve ruptures, and still that citi- zen could stand it. Stand it? He got up and licked the dentist. _ No. The extreme of human pain is to get up from your innocent bed and, in seeking the anti-colic for baby, run your great toe, either of them, against the sharp edge ofadoor. The rupture is not in a nerve, dental or other- wise. It is rupture spontaneously unanimous, mental, moral, spiritual, physical, but you don’t care. You know that, speaking from a scientific standpoint, you've got the acme of human agony. We are accustomed to see men deride what they do not understand, and snarl at the good and beautiful because it lies beyond their sympa- thies—Goethe. Baby Peggy, a film star, wants to be a stenographer, and all the Stenographers want to be film stars. A head of cabbage raised near Seattle weighs 32 pounds and Is large enough to run for office. News What Is News Great news for little Bobbie—better than Santa Claus, vacation, two pieces of mince pie, movies or anything. But, maybe, Seattle parents had better break it to him gradually and gently. Down at the Pensacola air station, they have been try- ing out the “learn-while-you-sleep” system of radio in- struction and now announce that al! the pupils with low ratings who go to sleep with receivers over their ears have been pulled up to high markings thru the agency of the subconscious mind, which had absorbed those things missed in the classroom. Thrice three chee We vision no more prodding or hauling of boy to his confounded “home study.” Every boy has at least one subconscious mind, if nothing else. Simply, you get him to bed, bind the receivers over his ears, the subconscious goes to absorbing and he wakes up learned. What a Godsend! While a French aviatrix looped the loop 98 straight times, we'll bet she couldn't thread a needle once. What makes us laugh out loud is seeing a girl with bobbed hair one day and long hair the next. A woman in New York tried to shoot herself, perhaps because she was a woman in New York. The way those scientists from “outside” are whittling down the standing of California’s Homo Barbarensis is ashame. They are now declaring that Homo Barbaren- sis is a mere infant compared to those old Homo anderthal and Homo Heidelberg fellows; that Mr. Bar- barensis is not the missing link between Great G t, etc., Grandpapa Monkey and man but just an ordinary link between the American Indian and Asiatics who visited Ar a some few thousands of yea They are willing to admit that Homo Bar! 18 a skull astonishingly thick, but, having witnessed several college football games the past week, they declare that such thickness is no proof atever of age.
