DECREASING ACCIDENTS. That it is possible greatly to re rliiAo. tha number of industrial acci dents; Is, proved foy a rocent'report of ; conditions In the steel Industry. In 1907, 246 men were killed or injurea nt f Avnrv 10(10. an ajiroallng record of slaughter and crippling. In 1917, ns the result of tho Safety First movement, the rate had been reducedl to 81 per 1000. One oil the greatest causes of poverty Is the number of industrial accidents. While the ma jority of the accidents reported above were trirnng, a great many ieavu u man partly Incapacitated for work The victim becomes discouraged, K pendent on relatives, nrt i, dr-u on the progress and efficiency of the community. The Improvement not." is being accomplished by the cam- palgn of education commonly caumi ' the "Safety First Movemont . It has adhleved great results, hut accidents are still far too common. Many em ployers will not remove dangerous conditions until forced to ao so. . They act against their own interest. Every time a worker Is hurt in poorly " protected machinery, it helps deplete ' the supply of able 'bodied skilled la bor. It undermines tne loyaiiy oi a shop - force. Mechanics . diislike to work in a shop wlhere Indifference Is '. shown to the safety of employees. The majority of accidents are no doubt dlue to the negligence and lapse oi, attention of employees, 'more is no human Intelligence In cogwheels and rollers and bolts. If you get in their way, they will grind your flesh into sausage. Some people have a certain natural bravado. Thoy de light In doing risky things and show ing how little fear they entertain. No person Is fit to handle modern madhlnory until he thoroughly un derstands its dangers, and is willing to form habits of prudent caution. EAttLKM OH DODOES? i The naval appropriation bill, now under consideration In the House Committee, Is furnishing an oppor tunity for tho Republicans to Initiate their announced program of retrench ment in war expenditures. The pro ceeding bofore the committee have brought out mrrady some startling facts.. For Instance it appears that of the 112 ougle boats to be built by Henry Fordl only one Is In commis sion, and 12 more are about ready to be turned over to the Italian Gov ernment. The entire' contract 1b to coBt about 150,000,000, yet tho navy department recommends that It be proceeded with until completed. It Is suggosted that vmle t'hey are no longer useful for war purposes, the eagles'can be used in the Philippines and along our coasts. Such argu ments are not appealing to the Re publicans of the committee, and It Is probable that they will InBlst that the Ford' contract be cancolled. The appropriations for the navy last year amounted to 1, 800, 1x0,000 but this year the estimates call for $2,400, 000,000. It 1b certain that when the bill emergos from committee the re publicans will have succeeded! in lopping from It some huge slices. Re presentative Thomas S. Butlor of Pennsylvania, ranking republican .member of the committee, has signi fied hlB Intention to Insist on the elimination from tho bill of all war items that can now be dispensed with. Wlllett & Gray, of Now York, estimate the world cane sugar crop for 1918-19 wlh bo less by l;t3,5;i! tons than that crop for 1917-18, whllo tllie beet sugar production Bhows an estimated fulling olt for the coming yanr, compared with Spare Your Clothing Wear Combination Overalls! One Piece Suit Garage Man this Combination Save All Suit will appeal to you. Easy to get into, and no suspenders. Comes in one color Kahki. Closing out a few numbers In mens high and regular top shoes, Bliea 7 1-2 to 11 1917-18 of 161,212 tons, or a total yield for 1918-19 of. 16,819,635 tons as against .17,114,886 tons last year a decrease of 294,751 tons. In summing np the food situation, Just before he left for the European Food Conference, Herbert Hoover said, with regard to sugar, that there will he a sufficient supply this coming year for our normal consumption if other nations retain their present short rations, but a uiortage for us If they Increase their rations That statement was made before the Wll lett & Gray estimate was published. So juBt keep a 'clamp on that Bweet tooth for a year or so longer. If you insist on cloying yourself with sweets, some one will have to go without Bugnr, not because of lack of money to buy but boc.au e of lack oi supply. Most people go through life con fusing causes, effects and unrelated circumstances and drawing wrong conclusions from the Jumble. Because Shakespeare was a poacher does not mean that you can become a Becond Shakespeare by hunting rabbits on a farmer's land without permlSBidh, ' ' r However, non-material you may he don't ever let any wild-eyed dreamer convince you thut the possession of money Is undesirable, lie merely means he. can't get it, With George Creel as cable censor during the pence conference, America will probably get its full quota of camouflage. Supposing you don't own an uito- mobile neither did Julus Ceasar nor George Washington nor Abraham Lincoln. Don't expect too much of your friends. Not many of them are an deeply Interested In your welfare as you imagine Many a Christinas will be made happy for many a family by the re turn of a doughboy from the western front. Not a bit too early to do that Xmas shopping because It's simply got to be done this year, above all others. WAR HAS HUMOROUS SIDE.
