A hundred rescue and fire aid teams, rep- states and Canresenting twenty-fiv- e ada and Mexico, will compete for honors at the annual International First Aid and Mine Beseue meet here Sep-- , tember 1st, 2d and 3d, under the auspices of the United States bureau of mineain with mine operators associations, miners organizations, the National Safety Council and the Red Cross. Under conditions, approximately aa closely aa possible to those found in mines during disastrous fires and explosions, teams will rescue supposedly entombed miners from a specially constructed gallery and other teams will administer first aid to supposedly injured miners. John L. Lewis, the president of the United Mine Workers of America, United States Senator Miles Poind of Washington, D. C., chairman of the senate committee on mines, and approximately a thousand mining men from all part of the country an expected to attend the meeting. Fo-tBlain, director of the United St .I s bureau of mipes at Washington. D. C., said the purpose of the meeting was to promote greater safety in the mining industry. Explaining the meeting, he said: As an industry which in this country alone employ more than a million men in hazardous work, the movement for greater safety and efficiency in mining haa been gaining in impetus each year until today these contests are looked upon by the miners as one of the greatest events in the industry. With more than fifty thousand miners having voluntarily taken the bureau's prescribed training course in first aid and rescue wjrk and with these men organized into teams at the various mines throughout the country for the promotion of the welfare of their fellow workmen, their participation in the contests promises to make th? event a humanitarian effort of great mo- RESIDENCE DELIVERY IS MADE REGULARLY Bay a coupon book and sava money Price Ice and Cold z-t- er Storage Co. . 0.

From the master mind of Hudson Maxim, who invented a hundred things from canned food to smokeless powder comes another questionnaire similar to that of the wizard of Orange, X. J., Thomas A.
