PARKER J. COOK SPEAK 8TKONG GOGGLES NECESSARY PROTECTION FOR WORKMEN Demonstration of the use of the Polariscope In testing goggles tor ihowing flaw in glass was made at the monthly Utah Copper safety meeting by Jack Coombes, president of the Utah-Nevad- a safety organizat-ion and saleman of E. D. Bullard company. Safety work la a business proposition, and not just a humani-tarian measure, and nothing In safety work is more important than attention to eyes, said Mr. Coombes. Glass that appears free from flaws often has invisible weaknesses that cause eyestrain for the wearer and the glass to shatter under pressure. The Polariscope shows up such weaknesses. Mr. Coombes was one of the 9857 safety men to attend the National Safety Council meeting in Atlantic City, N.J. last month. Mr. Joe Hadley head of the Utah Cop-per company safety department at Magna also was present at this con-vention. D. J. Parker, District Bureau of Mines head complimented the Utah Copper Company safety men on the excellence of their record, claiming they have made history in accident prevention. Track department records from June 6 until this month show that there has not been a single loss time accident. This record is most satisf-actory due to the fact that practl-- i cally all the new men employed by the Copper Co. are placed In this department. James Van Evera was introduced as a recent addition to the Copper afety department. Dr. Richards Returns From Eastern Trip Dr. Paul S.

The promoters have lined up what looks like a good card. The main event in the fights will be between K. O. Pierce and Kid Cannon. This boy is a comer. He hails from Sprlngvllle, Utah, and Is managed by Jones, the old wrest-ler. He la probably one of the hardest hitters to come up In Utah In a long time. He looks like he might be a set-up- , bat when he hits 'em It is generally curtains. He Is touch and plenty willing. At that be wUl have to be In top form Saturday night to get over Cannon, for the Kid Is recognised as the best middle weight in these parts. He Is an Idaho boy stationed at present In Fort Douglas. This same boy has foufht Jackie Burke of Ogden four times, won twice, drew once and Burke was favored with the nod the other time. The Kid is fast and shifty, hits well with either hand, and has been in the game and around long enough to know most of the answers. So Saturday night should be a red letter day for .the Gemmell Club boxing fans, for besides this match there will be four other bouts. Ira Dern, the old Utah mastef himself is arranging the wrestling end of the card, and has himself in the top spot, against the best man available. Nuf said.
