Man Kll-iblc (From The Omaha Bee ( I Close observers are not astounded by the statement made at a "safety meetinc that 1" per cent only of in- j cHistria! accidents are due to machine i failures, the remaining 90 per cent ! beinE wholly chargeable to "man- failure." Students, however, will not j be sat'sticd with the simple state : mint, but will want to know some ! thing more, especially as to conditions I that contribute to tins jippallinglv I large percentage charged directly to man's share in the fault. It will not do to say that in each instance wanton carelesspess is blamablo. Psychologists are no longer content with that ex planation, but are going deeper into the causation of accidents, seekine to react in different ways to the impres i sion given. Emergencies lnvanaoiy i arise in the operations of modern In dustry similar to those in the trans portation service, and. while the safety device may work with mechanical ac curacy, the human factor cannot be depended upon. 9 .

He had remarked that most educated people pronounce "always" as if it were written "orlwiz " One stately old dame was horrified at th idea, and repudiated the mere thought. She 1 slimmed up the wh'de discussion by declaring with an air of finality. "Personally I orlwiz sav 'always'"" The only test of what is correct in pronunciation is to find out what is the general practice of educated peo ple. And do most educated people say "a unique example" or "an unique example'.'" In deference t- the rule, they probably write "an " but if you notice their pronunciation when they are talking naturally and not thinking of how they pronounce they will almost invariably say "a." And this is quite natural, for "unique" begins with a consonant it is pro nounced "yuneek." Similarly most people say both "a history" and a historical fact " unless th-y drop the consonantal "h" and say "an 'istorj cal fact " .DIl. KAY'S II.IAKSS. Gastonia.
