Welch Miners Hard Hit
By Taxes and Competition
MERTHYR, Wales, May 11— (/P)
—The coal mining industry in this
1 locality is in a very serious plight
owing, it is asserted, to high taxa
tion, German competition, and the
national wages agreement which the
mine owners declare has forced up the
cost of production.
Of the 80,000 inhabitants of the
district, not more than 20,000 are
male wage-earners, and nearly half
of their number are on the dole.
Exceptionally high cast of produc
tion, it is said, caused five pits at
Dowlais, within the Merthyr admin
istration boundary, to be abandoned
put 6,000 men out of work,, lost
$100,000 a week in wages to the dis
trict and reduced the country’s out
put of coal by about 15,000 tons a
week.
During the last eight months the
output of coal has fallen by 5,000,000
tons, according to Finlay Gibson,
secretary of the Monmouthshire and
South Wales Coal Owners’ Associa
tion. He said that the present slump
; in South Wales was worse than ever
I before.

ARMY SEEKS TO FIND
USEFUL WORK IN WAR
FOR NATION’S WOMEN
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 1.—(/p) ;
—In the army’s forthcoming study of
the use of women in time of national
emergency, Miss Anita Evans Phipps, !
who holds the unique post of director I
of women’s relations, has been assign- '
ed a major role. Born in the service
herself, the laughter of an army offi
cer, and having served in the Red
Cross ranks during the World War,
she is regarded as peculiarly fitted
for the task.
Miss Phipps is engaged at present
in delving into historical records and
books to ascertain just what women’s
part in past wars of the United States
has been. Questionnaires have been
addressed to army corps area com
manders to sound out their opinions
regarding the use of women in possi
ble future wars and to glean informa
tion concerning their utilization in the
World War.
Rather than take a man out of an
important job in civilian life, and lat
er place him as an army cook, Miss
Phipps is of the opinion that a woman
could more efficiently and economic
ally do the cooking for a service unit,
leaving the skilled man on his origi
nal job. This is only one instance in
which she believes women can be
drawn for active service.
Miss Phipps was born at Augusta
Arsenal, Maine, and lived in the ser
vice until the retirement of her father,
Brigadier General Frank Huntington
Phipps, in 1917. At the outbreak of
the World War she enlisted as a pri
vate in the motor corps of the Red
Cross, having also been with the home
service section, and later was appoint
ed director of the motor corps service
of the Pennsylvania-Delawere division
of the Red Cross. Next she became
supervisor of women’s relations at
Governor’s Island, New York, and
when Mrs. John Casserly, of San
Francisco, resigned in 1921 as direc
tor of women’s relations in the War
Department, Miss Phipps was appoint
ed to succeed her.
Explorer Finds Books
of Unknown Language
HARBIN, May 11.-—(/P)—The site
of the ancient city of Harahoto, once
capital of the kingdom of Tangut, is
reported to have been discovered by
P. K. Kosloff, a Russian explorer. He
recently has returned from a two
years’ stay in the heart of Mongolia,
bringing with him, it is said, quanti
ties of treasures of interest to scien
tists.
A library of 2,500 volumes in seven
languages and some 350 pictures are
said to have been recovered from the
ruins of the long lost city, covered for
centuries by the sands of the Gobi
desert.
Some of the books reported to have
been found are in a language hitherto
unknown to philogists, but the ex
plorer had the good fortune to find a
dictionary of the language which
should greatly facilitate the transla
tion of the books.
In addition many objects of art in
gold and bronze and some artistic
tapestries were said to have been
found. The collection has been sent
to the Lemingrad Academy of Fine
Arts.
Opponents of Booze
In Mexico Adopt
American Propaganda
MEXICO CITY, May 11.—(^—Join
ing forces with the Mexican Confed
eration of Labor in its campaign
against alcoholism, the federal depart
ment of health will aid the confedera
tion’s dry missionaries with a flood
of literature depicting the evil conse
quences of associating with John Bar
leycorn, known in Mexico as Juan
Pulque.
Propaganda successfully used in the
United States and other foreign coun
tries has been adapted by the depart
ment to Mexico’s special requirements.
The legal bureau of the department
also is engaged in drafting projects
for anti-liquor legislation, mainly of a
restrictive, not prohibitive character.

Only Post Office Afloat
Claimed for Detroit River
DETROIT, May 11.—The only float
ing postoffice in the world, the
steamer C. F. Bielman, jr., again is
in service on the Detroit river. Un
til the last freighter of the season
passes through the river here, the
small government craft will be in
continuous operation, delivering “mail
on the fly’’ 24 hours a day.
Operating as an auxiliary to the
Detroit postoffice, the “mail boat”
as the Bielman is known, has been
in service since 1895. Prior to that
time, the crews of lake freighters
were obliged to wait until their ves
sels docked at destinations before
receiving mail from home. Some
times letters were delayed three or
four months.
Now letters are addressed aboard
a certain steamer, and the Bielman
delivers it. A small powerboat is
part of the equipment of the mail
boat. As the freighter comes up
or down the river, this little craft
darts out from its berth astern of the
Bielman and draws up alongside the
passing vessel. A line is tossed to
the powerboat, which holds fast un
