Compensation Y For Homeworkers "Are you safe when you are at home?" the Women's Bu reau asks in a recent bulletin on domestic accidents. That the question isn't a foolish one is proved by the Bureau's statement that about 24,000 persons lost their lives in home accidents during the past year. The figures are derived from statistics compiled by a nation ally known insurance company. M-.re than one-third of these home accidents are caused by falls, and more than one-half the falls are suffered by elderly persons. Little children most frequently meet injury or death from burns and scalds Gas and electricity, twin wiz ards of modern housekeeping, must be handled carefully. It Jfs important to buy gas fixtures of approved design, to have them installed by competent companies, and to watch un ceasingly for leaks and clogged tubes or burners. There is also a word of warning in regard to turning off electric currents and guarding against broken or worn cords and attachments. Officials of the Women's Bu- reau feel that workmen's com pensation laws should be to ap ply to the domestic worker as well as the industrial employee. New Jersey is the only state in the Union which provides for such compensation at present. This situation is partly due to the fact that industrial acci dents are more spectacular and therefore attract more atten tion than home accidents.

Some Light On The Philippines Current literature presents a wealth of opinions, but very little concrete information, on the subject of our Philippine wards. For this reason, an article written from first-hand observation is particularly wel come. Sherwood Eddy, Y. M. C. A. Secretary for Asia, who | has just returned from the Is i | lands, delivers his impressions j "right (iff the griddle," in the i October issue of World's Work. A few excerpts from Mr- Ed ■ dy's article make timely read ! : j "As I visited the excellent schools of Manila, I felt that the children were getting a bet ter education than I receive 1 as a boy in America."

"Wages and conditions of labor are better than in any similar country in the Orient." , "Magnificent work has been done in public health, and the death rate has been reduced to 17 per thousand." "A stable government has been established." "The character of the people furnishes a good foundation for lasting independence. They are peaceful, law-abiding, loyal, obedient, home-loving, temper ate, Iv.spitable, generous, cour teous, artistic, and refined in their habits. They are quick to learn, with a restless desire 1 for progress."
