FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1917 Kickers are desirable only la foot ball season. Of the making of football cripple* tii ere is no end. Evidently Cupid never heard of thi eight-hour working day. Buying something for nothing a) ways has been poor business. Anyway, why does a woman need tf carry a gun with the hatpin handy? i# Incumbent on of Europe In more way* j Speaking of the "last war," the only | person who can do bo authoritatively will be the last man. After the war there may be a de mand for those gas-proof masks from hen-pecked husbands. News from the seat of war become# more and more like a detailed descrip tion of a surgical clinic. One writer prophesies that the voice of Egypt will soon be heard. Will it be "Baksheesh?" Of course a burglar would make a good assessor; see how expert "he is In finding personal property. After tills war there are likely to be several bar -ain sales in statues of heroes that couldn't hang on. Pounding sand into a rathole seems an easy task compared with keeping the Culebra cut free of slides. If that French armor proves to be practicable the guides in the nortk woods should be equipped "with it ' Censors ot all nationalities admit thai there is terrific fighting going on, but disagree as to details. - Why should we have nut trees along our highways? Won't other trees stop automobiles just as well? Sometimes a pouter pigeon looks al most as important as the chairman of a state legislative committee. Usually, when the bill comes, you are compelled to realize that the green grocer isn't green at all. ' It sometimes happens that a man frith a bad reputation is envied by other men because of the way he got ?r " I ~m Those gas masks from the French front might find a sale here among people who cannot stand cigarette moke. . ! A Cleveland lawyer took 37 minutes ask a witness, a question, and then My insisted on a "yes or no" . v I Some women have too much" sense to yearn for model husbands. An av erage sort of animal la good enough for them. \ But the avenge man doesnt dislike to ask another to loan 1dm. money as mw$ as the other dislikes to have bjm do it i- There afca laws for the protection of gaan, but isn't It about time someone .was proposing One for the protection of hunters? ONLY 10 PER GENT OE ALL ACCIDENTS CARELESSNESS, THOUGHTLESS NESS, UNDUE HASTTE, AND IG NORANCE CAUSE MOST ACCIDENTS. Statistics co&piled tiy one of the leading life insurance companies of America show that in the United States during the year 1916 there were approximately 34,000 fatal accidents; 600,000 serious injuries, and 4,000,000 other injuries. These figures alone are appalling, but when it , is known that approximately ninety per cent of these accidents were preventable the realiza- 1 tion begins to dawn on one that an awful toll of life and limb is belngl Of this enormous number r of acci dents over one-half have been classi fied as "industrial" accidents" or acci dents occurring to employes of the manufacturing industries and public service corporations throughout the country. fV Of the great number of industrial accidents possibly 50%. could have been avoided if workmen had not been careless. Another 25 %. could readily be attributed to "thoughtlessness" while an additional 15% was caused by "undue haste" and - "ignorance," thus leaving only about 10% due to unavoidable and unpreventable acci dents. ? Investigation of accidents reported during the ?past five months , has re vealed the fact that the greater part of these accidents could have been pre vented. Disobedience of orders, wil ful neglect, carelessness ,and bad prac tices are factors in a large majority of cases, anB inasmuch as untold suf fering and a great economic loss are occasioned by these factors, It might be worth while to cite a tew accidents which have occurred in order to show to what extent care and thoughtful neas are needed to reduce this awful toll which is being exacted as the price of carelessness and ignorance. .. The following are a few typical cases In which the ^bove mentioned factors caused the accidents and rep resent the classes of aocidents which could easily be prevented if every person concerned would be careful: Reckless Driving. Three persons lost their lives whan a wild driver after racing with a- pas senger train attempted to cross in front of the engine because he had a little distance on the locomotive. Four persons were killed when an automobile stopped on one line of a double-track railroad while a train passed on the other. As soon aa the train had passed another train cini* ing from the opposite direction struck the car with fatal results. Disobedience of Orders. At a rock quarry an employe, In di rect disregard of orders, rode on a truck loaded with stone. This truck was allowed to run down an incllce by gravity, and instead of walking be hind as he bad been told to do, the employe climbed on a truck and in jumping got off under the wheels. His left ankle was broken and in addition he was badly bruised, so that he was compelled to remain away from work for many weeks and/ to lose consider able in wages, besides enduring a great amount of suffering. Taking a Chance. An employe of a certain plant had occasion to examine a motor. Instead of making the examination from He was immediately whirled to death. Had it been absolutely nec essary for this man to go inside the guard rail, his first act should have been to stop the motor, thereby re moving all possibility of an accident. The chance taker eventually gets ; caught. Neglected Wounds. The following accidents demonstrate the necessity of the prompt reporting of all injuries, no matter how trivial, for attention and treatment. Serious -cases of tlood poisoning often occur ! from neglect, and not only result in the loss of dollars and cents but also cause great suffering, with perhaps the loss of a finger, hand, leg or even life. An employe in a mill while changing rolls caught his finger on a sharp edge of a bolt and failed to have it I attended to. As a result the wound . became infected, necessitating the ab |>sence of the injured man from his work ' for three weeks. Improper Use of Freight Elevator. An employe in a warehouse was or ; dered to get some material from the ; third floor, it was necessary for him to use the elevator. Lifting up tne ' safety gate he started the elevator and .when it reached the floor on which he! was standing he attempted to jump on (while the elevator was in motion. His I foot slipped and his body was caught [^between the safety gate and the floor ' of the elevator. He was Instantly (killed. No person should attempt to step on or off a moving elevator. Re- 1 peatedly accidents with serious and fatal results have occurred in thli ] manner. Start the day with a cup of ; good, old Luzianne.
