Sksll BriMlin, 707 High Sir? t, Jeditu, Mhslnippl Open Windows Cause Injuries It pays to keep a wary eye on those open windows during warm weather months. A study of summertime home accidents made by the Institute for Safer Living of the American Mutual Liability Insurance Com pany shows that open windows account for a major share of home falls from May until Octo ber. Falls from windows total more than 15 per cent of accidents among small children during these months, and rank high on the list of home injuries to teen agers and grown-ups. In analyzing a large number of window falls, the Institute finds that the major cause among children is climbing on furniture or other household objects placed before open windows while left unattended by parents. Children's beds placed too near windows are shown to be especially hazar dous: the youngster bounces right through the window open ing. ' In the teen age and adult-age brackets, window tumbles stem from a wide variety of causes. The majority, however, occur to persons cleaning or repairing windows. Other leading causes of falling through open windows include slippery floors, sleepwalking, in toxication, inattention while sit ting on sills, and leaning from windows to converse with some one outside. In the adult group, more than 70 per cent of all window acci dent victims reported to the In stitute were male. This Is attri buted to the fact that women are generally more cautious, and that men do the more hazardous window cleaning and repair work. The following suggestions may help to prevent a window tragedy in your family: Protect, slippery floors in front of windows. Also move furniture well awaiy from windows that are lef{ open. .See that small children do not play near open windows. Remove or secure any light furniture or boxes, etc., that a child may climb upon after pushing it to a win dow. Have securely fastened, sub stantially made screens on all open windows. Protect windows having low sills with one or more horizontal bar guards placed at the proper height to block falls. Never allow members of the family to make a habit of sitting on window sills. Take every pre caution when cleaning or repair ing windows. Make window clean ing safer by keeping both upper and lower sash in easily opened condition. Windows that stick are hard to clean safely.

Transit Animals Need Proper Care Improper handling of livestock during loading for market and in transit causes losses running in to millions of dollars annually, according to Howard Clapp, Cleveland County farm agent for the State College Extension Ser vice. Reports from slaughtering establishments indicate that trimmings made necessary by bruises alone represent a loss of several million dollars each year. Millions more are lost through weight shrinkage and illnesses that result from undue exposure or lack of feed, water, and rest Since these losses are reflected in lower market prices for ani mals, producers have a stake in reducing such losses to a mini mum, declares Mr. Clapp. Mor^ efficient methods of handling livestock during transportation would bring increased returns to the seller, he says, . A newly revised leaflet issued by the U. S. Department of Agri culture describes basic me'Jiods and equipment necessary to main tain the health of animals in ship ment. A single copy can be ob tained free by requesting Leaflet No. 38, Maintaining the Health of Livestock in Transit, from the Office of Information, U. S. De partment of Agriculture, Wash ington 25, D. C. Following are some suggestions offered for cutting transit inju ries: 1. In driving and loading, ani mals should not be hurried, par ticularly when they are passing through gates or narrow pass ages. Squeezing against posts and walls causes severe and deep bruising. 2. A canvas slapper or electric prod should be used to encourage stubborn animals; sharp sticks, whips, and clubs cause injuries that reduce the value of the car cass. 3. The shipper should, if pqssi ble, select a carrier that has ade quate facilities and a reputation for handling livestock with a mi nimum of rough treatment and losses. 4. Vehicles used for transporta tion should be reasonably clean and dry, with inside walls free from rough projections that might cause injury. Protection from drafts should be provided in cold weather. 5. Animals should be provided with wholesome feed and clean water and an opportunity to rest at regular intervals in transit. 8. Animals should be protected from temperatures markedly dif ferent from that at the place from which they were shipped. do not lean too far out. These precautions may seem simple, but remember that they are overlooked to the tune of hundreds of deaths and injuries each year. Don't let the next open window victim meet tragedy in your home. Cotton farmers can get a two for-one return on power and la bor by the addition of a simple tractor attachment which allows them to apply Insecticides as they cultivate.
