Coal Mine Fires
Rase Unchecked
Underground Blazes Cause
immense Waste of
Fuel Supply
WASHINGTON—Millions of tons
of coal are being burned up in the
United States in vast, uncontrolled
underground fires.
Daniel Harrington, chief of the
health and safety branch of the bu
reau of mines, estimates that under
the-earth fires now are burning in
probably several hundred of the
7,000 coal mines in the country.
Some have been ravaging coal
beds for years. Two of the biggest
started more than 50 years ago—at
New Straitsville, Ohio, near Colum
bus, and at South Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
The Ohio fire, burning since 1884,
has destroyed more than fifty mil
lion dollars worth of coal, accord
ing to several estimates.
Burns for 50 Years
S. H. Ash, chief of the safety di
vision, says that the Pennsylvania
anthracite fire has been burning un
checked for 50 years or more and
has "cost millions "
Scores of other blazes, resulting:
from such widely varied causes as
explosions, lightning or forest fires
that have ignited a surface vein,
have begun since the turn of the
century and stili are burning merrily
away, unnoticed in many instances
on the surface. Some, Harrington
says, resulted from spontaneous
combustion.
Certain of the fires go back sev
eral hundred years. Harrington
notes one at Somerset, Colo., which
belches steam and smoke in winter
through a hill named Fire mountain
by the Indians a long time ago.
This one may be good for another
thousand years or so, he estimated.
Attempts to extinguish such fires
are extremely difficult.
Hard To Extinguish
Although no estimates are avail
able concerning the amount of coal
consumed by these great fires, Har
rington hazards a rough guess of
one million tons annually.
Harrington notes, however, that
this compares to an estimated pro
duction in 1947 of 615,000,000 tons
and adds that "there is enough coal
in the United States to keep this
country going for a thousand years."
Well-Stocked Stores Lure
British to Mining Towns
DONCASTER, ENGLAND—Al
though the British government now
can send idlers to work where they
are needed, it has succeeded to some
extent in making at least the min
ing industry more palatable—and
mining is one of the crucial points
in Britain's economy.
A policy of channeling more con
sumer goods into mining areas
works like a charm here in Don
caster. Local markets and chain
stores in this center of 12 collieries
have a wide selection of rationed
and non-rationed goods.
Low priced utility tea sets and
export-reject china — which mean
standing in queues in London—are
displaying here for any housewife
who needs them. Clothing, though
rationed, may be had in wide vari
ety. Boys' suits, generally gray
flannel or navy blue elsewhere,
come in interesting tweeds in Don
caster,
Children's toys have been coming
in, too, and the first tiny wind-up
cars since the war are waiting to be
bought. In Britain's capital people
waited for two hours in restless lines
to buy them.
Ex-Captive Traps Escaped
German Prisoner of War
ST. LOUIS—Rudolph von Hye
burg, escaped German prisoner
of war, is in custody of the FBI
after two years of freedom.
He was the victim of the photo
graphic memory of a St. Louis ex
G.I. who had himself been a pris
oner of the Germans.
Gerald Norris. FBI agent, iden
tified the former P.O.W. who
brought about Hyeburg's capture
only as "a very alert citizen." He
said the informant had a sand
wich and a cup of coffee in the
restaurant where Hyeburg
worked, drove to the federal build
ing to post a package, and recog
nized his face in a "wanted"
poster.

Cancer Kills Doctor Who
Devised Test for Disease
OMAHA, NEB.—Dr. Albert M.
Harris, 35, who developed a simple
and inexpensive test for discovering
cancer, died of the disease without
knowing his own body had given a
positive reaction to the test.
When the test was announced in
the South Dakota Journal of Medi
cine and Pharmacy, Harris was
suffering from a malignant brain
tumor.
A month before his death, Harris
used the test on himself. The result
was negative. However, when he be
came ill and was admitted to Sioux
Valley hospital at Sioux Falls, where
he practiced, the test was made
again. This time it was positive,
indicating the possibility of cancer.
Associates said Harris never in
quired about outcome of the test
and died without knowing it had
proved successful in his own body.

TRYING IT ON FOR SIZE . . . America's girl scouts are broad
minded. They believe that even a baby can do something to help
the destitute people of the world. Currently, the girl scouts are
engaged in assembling clothing kits to go to children in Europe
and Asia. This Toledo, Ohio troop borrowed its leader's baby to
model the baby garments they made as their contribution to the
effort to make a million garments during 1948.
