LOCAL AND I'EltSONAL
The four horsemen arc stalking in the coal fields of the United
States, despite the seeming unconcern of the nation for an early settle
ment of the strike. Conquest, War, Famine and Death those are the
silent riders which mine families are facing hourly in the struggle be
tween operators and miners. Even, while President Lewis of the Unitefl
Mine Workers was in Washington, conferring with Secretary of Labor
Pavis (below), and later with President Harding, riot was ruling at
Hcrrin, 111., where forty were killed and many wounded before order
was restored. Above is shown all that was left of the power house at
a strip mine in Herrin, 111., after dynamite and the torch had been
applied. President Lewis refused to agree to plans proposed by Presi
dent Harding and Secretary Davis to end the strike.

GOT IDEA FOR CASH REGISTER
birches go on. The great trees of the
lowor reaches of tho bowlder path are
these, their pnper-white bark showing
through all dnrk woods of tho north.
Then climb valiantly. It is ns if the
trees were thrilled with that eager
desire to reiuli tin tnimmlt which
possesses nil mountaineers.
Original Maker of Machines Copied
Device From Automatic Indicator ,
Used on Ocean Vessels.
Tho Invention of the cash register
was duo to one of those happy no-
pldents of which only tho alert mind
takes advantage. A business man
of. Dayton, Ohio, named Jacob Itltty,
had a storo In a good location In that
city, and It attracted many custom
crsAyet somehow It was not prollt
nblc Ho worried so much about
his ick of success that a vacation
becamo necessary, and ho decided to
talfo a trip to Kurope. While on the
voyage, Air. Itltty one day visited tho
slilp's engine room. Ills attention wan
caught by tho automatic Indicator
which recorded tho revolutions of tho
propeller shaft-. Tho Idea occurred
to hltn: Why not devise a machine
to record the miles In n store? Hcnco
tho cash register.
At the time of this invention John
II. Patterson owned a, retail shop In
a small mining town.icar Dayton. Ho
tried two of tho .muchlnes then of n
rather crude .ti'iio nnd was so nlcascd
vwlth tho results that ho realized tho
