WA8T1INOTON, Dee. 11-A national
loss of not lee than 11.000,009 a day la a
reasonable estimate of the present waste.
In large measure unnecessary, of th min
eral resources of the United States, Di
rector John A. Holmes of th bureau of
mine declare In hi annual report mad
publlo today.
"At the present Increasing rate at which
we are using and wasting It, our on sup
ply of a number of these resources will
be either exhausted or largely depleted
while the nation la yet In Its youth," says
Mr. Holmes.
"Of the several lines of mineral Industry
In which this waste calls for Investigation,
only two of the most especial urgency
and Importance are Included In the ur
gent needs of the bureau of mines,
namely, the waste and losses In coal
mining and In petroleum operations. But
the enactment of pending legislation In
congress providing for the establishment,
mainly In melal-mlning atatea, of a num
ber of mining experiment atatlona, will
render possible similar researches look
ing to the lessening or preventing of
waste."
I'rohably the most notable accomplish
ment of the bureau of mines ha been the
developing of the movement for greater
safety and better health conditions In the
mining, metallurgical and other mineral
Industries of the country and the gaining
of th co-operation of all poeslbl agenoie
In behalf of th movement
Adopt Co-operative Flaa.
In conducting Its campaign for greater
safety and efficiency In the mining Indus
tries there haa been adopted th follow
ing general plan of co-operation between
the national government and other large
agencies: (1) That the national govern
ment conduct the necessary general In-
qulrlea and InvestlKatlons and dissemin
ate In such a manner as may prove most
effective the Information obtained and the
conclusions reached; (2) that each state
enact needed legislation and make ample
provisions for the proper Inspection of
mining operations within Its borders; (3)
that the mine owner Introduce Improve
ments with a view to Increasing safety
and reducing waste of resource as rap
idly a the practicability of such Improve
ments Is demonstrated, and (4) that the
miner and mine manager eo-operate
both In making and In enforcing safety
rule and regulations as rapidly aa theae
ar shown to be practicable. The state,
the miner and mine owners, and other
agencies, such aa the mining and engin
eering societies, are now showing a will
ingness to co-operate with th national
government In this work.
During th year bureau of mine' res
cue crew wer responsible for saving the
Uvea of seven miners; sixty-three rescues
were made by miners and others'not con
nected with the bureau. The training of
these rescuers, for th most part, waa
started by the bureau and continued by
th operators, or, in some case by the
miners themselves,
Although there was a alight Increase In
the number of fatalltle In coal mine
during th year owing to two large dis
asters, thosaat Dawson, N. M., where
163 men were killed, and at Ecclea, W.
Vo.. where 1S1 wer killed, there was a
reduction In th number of disasters. In
both metal mines and quarries, substan
tial reduction In th number of fatalities
were shown.
Kdaeate Many Mlaers.
In th short time th bureau's mine
rescue car and station crew wer able
to conduct actlv training, 40.6M miners
a-talted th car and station. M.fcS) at
tended lecture and safety demonstra
tions, J,S3t war given mtne-reeoue and
1,780 flrst-ald ' Instruction and training,
and 1,773 certificate were Issued to those
who had completed regular course of
-training aa prescribed by th bureau.
The bureau' Investigation relating to
mineral wast have thus far been con
fined to certain general inquiries and to
specific investigation dealing with such
topics as th wast from smelter and
other metallurgical planta, the waste In
the treatment of rare minerals and
metal and the waste In th mining and
utilisation of eoal.
A preliminary Inquiry a to the coking
of eoal In beehive evens ha shown that
the total value of the by-product an
nually lost In this country through the
us of such oven amount to 175.000.000.
Th annual wast of metals la brass
furnace practlc amount to more than
14.600.000. Th bureau' work looking to
th prevention of wast of natural gas,
by an expenditure of leu than lii.OuO dur
ing th laat eighteen month, haa brought
about a saving of natural ga worth not
less than 115,000.000, a sum many times
greater than th total coat of all th work
don by th bureau during th four year
of Its existence.
Chemist and engineer f th bureau
have demonstrated that a process they
have devised for the extraction ef radium
from It ore oaa be successfully used on
a large scale and will peeve snore effi
cient than that used by foreign producer
of radium. Through this process It I
possible that th cost of radium to th
user will be reduced to one-third or th
present price, Th process te to be
patented and dedicated to the publlo.
A careful preliminary Inquiry ahowa
that In mining 00.000.000 tona of coal
Vearly SOO.OnO.ono tons are wasted or left
underground In unmlnable condition. Of
thla waate K0.000.0n0 tona Is believed to
be preventable.
Director Holmes statea that the facili
ties for meeting the demands made .on
the bureau, both by the government and
the general public, have from the begin
ning been entirely Inadequate. Increased
appropriations for the work of . the
bureau are urged.

A novel feature of th exhibit Is th
system of lighting in use. It I said to
b an entirely new scheme, never before
used for art display tn th United States,
so far as known. . Th entire gallery la
lighted by two photographer's electrto
bulbs, each of 1,000 cgndlepower, made of
deep blu glass and with opalescent
shades a additional screens.
The combination of powerful light and
peculiar shades gives an effect mpre
nearly Ilk real daylight than Is usually
obtained for displays of paintings. It
enhancea the fine color effects la. the
pictures to a marked degree, and makes
them especially worth going to see., An
admission fee of 10 cents Is charged in
order to help defray the expense.

"Titer ar thousands of man and
women In Omaha and Bouth Omaha
willing to give something for th relief
of the poor." said E. W. Dixon, president
of the Aoesoclated Charities, "but they
must be assured that their money Is
properly administered, and that it Is
used only for the relief of deserving per
sons. "An Important part of our work is the
co-ordination of the various agencies
of the two cities. By means of system,
we are enabled to obviate duplication of
relief work and to prevent Imposture.
The result Is a conservation of money
prevention of waste. This calls for time
and patience tn ln'esttgatlng alt casus,
but it pay in every way. Within .he
last two year we have Induced moat
of the charity workers to see the im
portance of letting the Associated Chari
ties Investigate thoroughly and report
upon the merits of Individual canes, with
recommendation as to what ia needful
to be done. All emergency cases are
taken care of at once, yet these cases,
as well as the rest, are Investigated, and
If Imposture Is disclosed, are Immediately
exposed, thus protecting donors from
fraud,
"The officers and directors of the Asso
ciated Charities want the people to know
that their donations are applied to meet
ing the expense of painstaking service,
the buying of food and clothing, and the
providing of shelter and comfort to the
deserving poor."
The working forces of the Aseoclatel
Charities have been reorganised and!
strengthened.

Famous Track and
Basket Ball Coacli
Nebraska Product
Here' an oddity about th Washington
and Le's two famous coaches Walter
Elcock, foot ball mentor, Dartmouth
graduat and All-American player, and
Forest Fletcher, track and backet ball
tutor, product of Notre Dam and Olym
pic, athlete. Both wer born in tha same
year 1888 Fletcher In Lincoln. Neb., on
April V. and Elcock In Dorchester, Mass.,
on December 1
When Elcock first went to Dartmouth
and reported for foot bail practlc h was
a string bean of a chap, weighing about
160. , The first chap he talked to waa a
100-pounder. with an arm on him that
measuer fifteen inches around at the
elbow.
What position are you trying for?"
asked Ktoock of th giant, the coach of
unbeaten Generals then being tut for
tacle.
"Quarterback." replied Goliath.
Quarterback! yelled Elcock. "Good
night! I'm going home." Elcock did not
go home, but remained at Hanover and
eventually won All-Amertran honor. Th
Goliath, whose name waa "Babe" Stew
art, never made the team. Incidentally,
Stewart went ta school at Englawood
a Ugh school in Chicago with Fletcher.
Praise be for SKITCH! If a per
fect wonder. Throw your wash-board
away, women! Don't break your back
rubbing clothes, or don't let your wash
woman break her poor back rubbing, for
SKITCH cleans clothe better than rub
bing can do It, and make your clothes
last longer and look nicer.
SKITCH Is a marvel! Try U right
away and see ' what BKITCH doea.
Three teaspoon of SKITCH" to a boller
ful of clothe and th dirt I Just
skltched right out of th dirtiest gar
ment wlille you alt and rest or do up
your houswork.
; Tou never heard of anything so fin
as that Ther is nothing else like
SKITCH nothing like It was ever
thought of before. SKITCH can't hurt
the finest fabric you could even eat It
and it wouldn't hurt you.
Get a lOo package of SKITCH of your
grocer today and see the Joyful, happy
wonder of It -Enough for seven wash
ings In' a 10-cent package of SKITCH
coat JuBt a little' over a cent to aave a
day back-breaking, rubbing and a day
ntsery of keeping your hands in hot suds,
less than the soap used In rubbing
would cost-
If your gi-ocer doesn't have SKITCH
he can get it for you from his Jobber.
If he won't, write to me send me his
ame and I'll send you a big free sam
