Patterson, chief of the State divi sion of industrial hygiene, on the ground that it is an "unwarranted interference" with State authority and that it would cost Pennsylvania manufacturers and farmers "great annoyance and tremendous expense." Dr. Patterson, who presented the situation to Governor William C. Sproul, has arranged a statement which he says will show that the proposed law would not only set aside all State regulations, but re sult in interference with industries and businesses using what might be termed " in rodients" of explosives. Objection is also made to the plan for keeping of records as a hardship, while it is contended that the provi sion for inspection of plants would Interfere with State authorities in carrying out factory inspection. "In my judgment," says Dr. Pat terson, "this act would make the possession of explosives so valuable to the farmer, the miner, the con tractor and other legitimate enter prises extremely difficult to obtain and it would be a mistake to set aside the laws of various states on the subject." Big Survey Miule—The most ex tensive survey of the dams on the streams of Pennsylvania, including the large water supply and electric generating plants, has just been com pleted by the engineers of the State Water Supply Commission, more than forty counties having been covered in the inspection.

It was found as a rule that instructions in former years had been well carried out. Prompt Action Requests for prompt certification to the State De partment's Bureau of Elections of the results of the primary election on all judicial contests and for such nominations in which the Common wealth is interested through the bal lot has been made to the commis sioners of every county in the State.

Woman Who Worked in Coal Mines Is Dead At Eighty Years Wigan. England, Sept. 15. —Mrs. Bridget McHugh, the oldest "pit brow" woman in the Pemberton coal field, has just died here at the age of 80 years. For more than half a century she had worked at the mines. "Old Bridget", as Mrs. McHugh was familiarly called, was a hale and hearty, stbongly built woman who could use a shovel in filling mine cars as well as any man and was always looked upon as an ex pert pit-brow worker, few being her equal. The shorter working day was un known to her and Summer and Winter, rain or shine, she was ac customed to leave home at five o'clock every morning, and was In her place at the coal bank before the whistle sounded at six.

SPROUL SERVES NOTICE ON VARE Governor Says He Wants Judges Elected For the Full Term Philadelphia and the State at large are watching with the great est interest the outcome of differ ences between Governor Sproul and Senator Edwin H. Vare in regard to judicial elections. Various news papers say it may mean a break and the Evening Ledger sums it up this way: "Harmonious relations be tween Governor Sproul and the Vares, will depend largely on whether or ' not Vare-controlled wards are turned in against Judge McCullen and Henderson as candi dates for re-election to the Common Pleas and Orphans' Court respec tively. Both of these jurists are candidates whom the Governor has endorsed and both, it is known, are not in good favor with the Vares. "This situation is regarded as so serious that there is talk of a break between the Vares and the Gover nor, an event which would have marked effect on State politics and the campaign next year, to say nothing of the effect on the disposal of State patronage." Speaking to newspapermen in Philadelphia, Governor Sproul made it plain that he did not intend to sit idle while the men whom he appointed to the bench and whom he has indorsed for election are "knifed" by the Vares. When ask ed how he regarded the reports that the Vares would oppose Judge Jos eph P. McCullen and George Hen derson, the Governor smiled and said: "One can't expect to slap the administration in the face and then receive any favors. "I don't feel any apprehension over the election of the sitting judges," he continued, "I am posi tive Judge McCullen will go through but there may be some difficulty regarding Judge Henderson. The administration is making every ef fort to offset moves that may be made against the men. I doubt very much that the opposition, if there is any, will bo strong, for I have had assurances that support will be thrown to the men now on the bench. Harry Mackey has said he will support Judges Henderson and McCullen, and so has Senator Martin and Dave Lane." The Public Ledger says: "Gover nor Sproul refused to verify state ments put forth by Senator Edwin H. Vare to the effect that the Gov ernor was the first man to indorse Judge John M. Patterson as a may oralty candidate. Senator Vare said he discussed candidates with the Governor and that Mr. Sproul urged him to get the active party workers to support Judge Patterson for Mayor. When the Governor was asked, if Senator Vare's statements were j true, he said: "Senator Vare did i speak to me at Harrisburg about candidates for the mayoralty of Philadelphia. I compliment Judge Patterson, as I did a number of others mentioned. But lam not a citizen of Philadelphia, and I do not intend to meddle in the situa tion. Patterson is a good candi date. 'Hampy' Moore is a good candidate, too." Governor Sproul insistently has declared "I am on the fence" when questioned about the mayoralty fight. British Farmer Is Meeting Big Obstacles as Living Costs Rise London, Sept. 15. The farmer's task of making two blades grow where one had grown before is be coming increasingly difficult in Eng land, according to statistics pub lished here to-day. Some of his dif ficulties arc set out as follows: Farm laborers before t he war re ceived $4 a week; now they get $lO. Every horse must have a weekly half holiday. If 20 horses are em ployed in a farm this represents an annual loss of $750 at 75 cents per half day per week. Before the war steam ploughing cost $1.75 per acre. It now costs $4.50. Coal before the war cost $5 a ton; it now costs $12.50. Nitrate of soda has advanced from $45 a ton to $125; binder twine from $175 a ton $650, and black smith's, carpenter's and saddler's work is from 150 to 200 per cent higher.

Birthrate in France Showing an Increase Paris, Sept. 15.—France's declining birthrate has lately been a source of much concern but distinct improve ment has been noticed during the present month. Evidence of a great decline in births in 1918 was shown in official figures for the district of the Seine, which includes the city of Paris, which showed that there are only 43,480 births registered in that dis trict in 1918 as compared to the 73,- 509 In 1911. The infantile death rate given by statisticians Is 40 per cent, as com pared to 10 per cent, before the war. This has been attributed to the scar city of wet nurses and poor quality and shortage of milk for bottle-fed babies. This shortage is said to be due to the tremendous Increase in cheese making, especially in Nor mandy. / Newspapermen to Meet in Australia Sydney, Australia, Sept. 15.—The largest international assemblage of newspaper men ever gathered in any city In the world is expected at the Press Congress of the World, to be held here October 15, 1920.
