Dangerous work. Charlie McBride. Said twelve years old. This twelve year old boy has a steady job with the Miller and Vidor Lumber Company. He takes slabs out of the chute, which has a moving endless chain to carry the wood up the chute. He passes the slabs on to the other boy who saws them off on an unguarded circular saw. Charlie runs the saw himself whenever he gets the chance. He is exposed not only to the above dangers, but to the weather. No roof even. Has been here for some months. "Get four bits a day." (Fifty cents.) Works ten hours. This was the only mill that I found around Beaumont that employed boys. Likely because they are located some distance out of town. Location: Beaumont, Texas.

Dangerous spot. Washington, D.C., Dec. 18. Dr. L.H. Adams, Director of the Geological Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution, is standing in what might be a dangerous position should the little steel drum in the cabinet [next to] him explode. In this apparatus the scientists study the behavior and properties of artificial rock under tremendous pressure, a pressure greater than that generated in the breech of the cannon. From these studies is learned something of the behavior of rocks at great depths, 12/18/37
