DECEMBER 29. 1935. kmM W mmm V ' ' C j-a. MYTOKS Announcement was mads Saturday ff Ml WASHINGTON (U) i spallation v up-to-date dust control by Ameri can industry would .vt approxi mately $300,000,000 annually, J. J. ayoomfleld. O. 8. public health sanl tarr engineer, estimated today. He said that 1S.000.000 workers In manufacturing, mechanical and min eral industries would have better health, fewer accidents and longer life If current knowledge In con trolllnc dust were utilised, tjnder his proposal, particles would not fill workshops where men were doing those hazardous activities which are necessary for our present civilization. "It has been estimated that the minimum expectancy In ;vlngs to employers and employes from an In dicated reduction of the accident rat and of the time lost on account of Illness (or an equivalent reduc tion In mortality), demonstrated as attainable. Is 20 per yeai per em plove." Bloomfleld said. "This estimate Is for plants whose accident rate la considerably below the average, and In which there are no occupational harards. It Is quite apparent from these figures that the savings In plants where haz ards are known to exist shculd ne far In excess of this conservative estimate. "When one realties that In this country there are approximately 1.1.000.000 workers enfragort In manu facturing, mechanical and mineral Industries, then It 1 evident that the magnitude of the problem has not been overemphasized." Bloomfleld said that there are four methods of dust control In operation at present: 1. Substitution of non-dust-pro-duclng or harmless substances: A non-slllca compound has been used successfully for foundry molds, with resulting saving on the lungs of workers, who otherwise would have breathed the harmful silica. Dm of steel Instead of sand in blast rooms Is another example. 3. Isolation of the dusty opera tion: In the up-to-date abrasive cleaning room, only the person work ing is exposed to this hazardous process and ho Is equipped with a protective helmet. In some f the old-fashioned plants, this work la done In the open and all laborers are exposed to the bad effects. 3. Wetting the dust at Its source: Appllcatlcn of this principle cut ex posure risks more than 00 per cent, according to tests made In anthra cite coal mine operations. Under this process, msny less particles of dust had an opportunity to float In the air and thus, permit some of them to get Into the miners' un& . 4. Local exhaust ventilation: This Is one of the most effective and widely applied of dust control methods. "In some dusty occupations the methods of controlling dust have not been developed." Bloomfleld said. "Industrial operations, such as removing cores from very large foundry castings, sand-blasting, handling of used storage battery plates, paint chipping and cad mium oxide manufacture, appear to offer no practical means of ade quately controlling dust generated. "In such cases. It is necessary to furnish the worker with personal respiratory protection devices to prevent his exposure to the harmful effects of the dusts present. These devices consist of various types of respirators, masks and helmets." A Lange Motor Co. Has New Starter Device A new attachment for automo biles, promising to "bring relief from nerve-wracking locking starters." Is being Installed by the wrvlcs de partment of the Lange Motor Co., local Chrv;!pr and Plymouth dealer The new device holds the starter shaft In a fully extended position, thus Insuring full gear mesh, and bringing Into full use the back parts of both gears, even thouga the teeth of the fly-wheaj gear ar cut back, or badly worn. It also supports the starter drive spring to such a degree that spring break age Is reduced to a minimum. - 4 Kenosha, Wis., which reoelved Its city charter In 1850. was called South port for the first 18 years of Its ex istence.

This 15 you Step' where should' your 'ji ACCIDENTS ARE MENTAL " If we had no brakes at all on our cars, we'd drive along at a crawl (and probably injure nobody). When our horn won't work, we al ways drive a lot more carefully. Actual statistics show that fewer people are killed (in proportion) in accidents on slippery, icy streets than on dry, safe streets. The moment an ordinary road is changed into a fine, safe, four-lane highway, the accidents become more numerous .and more serious. All these things prove that accidents are mental. We have them when we are surest that we .can't. In other words, we have them when we want to. They're within our control. They're mental. The answer is, LET'S NEVE THIXK WE CAN'T. We crash and kill whenand when things seem safest. The lesson is, when everything seem! rosy for a little reckless driving, let's not start feeling our oats.'Sg I i Let's not, for instance, be fooled into a false sense of security by a fine wide road. It is apparent safety that is the most dangerous. Most of the 36,000 people killed in automobile accidents last year, and most of the 954,000 injured, according; to statistics of The Traveler! Insurance Company, probably thought they were in some unusually safe spot at the tirrm BY NEAPOLITANS FOR KIND ACTS NAPLES. (UP) Prof. Giuseppe Moscatl, charitable physician who died here eight years ago, haa been sainted by the Neapolitan populace. McW-att enjoyed n wide fame throughout the Naples area during his lifetime for nls goodness and the purity of his life. The revered phy sician carried on his profession pure ly for philanthropic purposes, al though he was a poor man. His sole purpose In life was the alleviation of suffering and Illness among hu manity. Moscatl was one of the four emi nent physicians who gave up hope for Enrico Caruso at the Hotel Ve sure of this city on August 2. 1921. at the solemn consultation which was held by the four specialist over Uic great tenor's Illness Their Judgment was borne out, for next day Caruso died. The spiritual, devoutly Catholic Neapolitans today consider the pro feasor a saint, rfls body; by special permission from the archbishopric c! Naples some time ago. was exhumed and placed In a crypt In the Church of Jeaus In this city. Moscatl'a body is worshipped by th clty'a populace as though the holy physician had al ready attained sainthood. Before the profeaaor'a tomb In the church large numbers of faithful, mostly in ailing health, kneel and pray to him. They place lighted can dies before the tomb and tn return ask miracles and cures of the phy stclan as they would ask miracles of a fully canonized saint. The church was compelled to bow before this popular sentiment of ne cessity tolerating this veneration of a layman. Proceedings Tor beatification of Professor Moscatl were begun some time ago by the church authorities The body was permitted to be pla-:d In the church crypt because It is expected that his beatification will one day be realized. Keokuk. Icwa, was named after a chief of the Sauk and Poxes who remained peaceful during the Black Hawk war and died In 1848. OTTAWA, Ont. (UP) Canada's unemployment relief camps, where from 20.000 to 40.000 young single me have been earning their keep an 2t cents a day by building roads mi aarycrta for the last four years, t fee gradually abolished by the Damlnlon government. The camps were established throughout Canada In 1032 in an ef fort to slve the unemployment prob leei among single youtha living in lara urban centers. The Idea proved popular. In the last two years the camps have been a "happy hunting ground" to communists for foment- 'ng trouble and the scene of many riotous disturbances. The government's first move In the scheme to abolish the campa will be Ut transfer them from the super vision of the department of national defense to the labor department. The Dominion hopes that improvement In trade and employment which la ex pected to follow In the wake of the new trade agreements with the United States, Japan and other countries gradually will provide outlets for the camp dwellers, and enable the gov ernment to close the projects. Millions of dollars have been ex pended In the maintenance of the relief campa during the last two years. The 20 cents a day allowed the youtha for luxuries alone cost taxpayers 91, 500 .000 a year, and mil 1 ions were spent on food, clothing, bedding, fuel and other necessities. Since the camps were Inaugurated about 70.000 single, homeless unem ployed men have obtained relief. About 40.000 have been dropped for various reasons. Many stayed for a few months only. Hundreds have drifted frome one camp to another. The chief complaint against the camps haa been that tena of thou sands of young Canadian were herd ed together, prevented from living a normal life, and deprived of amol-tlon. The y-uths themselves grew more and more discontented with their monotonous existence in the camps and were willing vlctlma of commun istic agitation. The discontent blos somed into a series of riota In Sas katchewan and British Columbia, scene of the largest camps, end the abortive "hunger march" to Ottawa last summer. Lending a willing ear to agitators. 12.000 youths living liv campa from coast to coast fell in with an or ganized plan to march to Ottawa and demand work loat summer. Federal authorities stopped the march and forced the strikers to return to the campa. After an Investigation, R. B. Ben nett, then prime minister, of Canada, charged that the march was organized by Soviet agents for the purpose of kidnaping him and establishing a "Red" regime. Liberal leader always have opposed the projeotfl and have branded them as "slave camps." The policy of the newly-elected liberal government will be to eliminate rather than perpetu ate the campa. Revolutionary in detign, a boautiful, raoderniatic streamlined gasolino earner, budt by tho Gil mo re Oil Company, made its debut last week. Tho carrier weighs ten tons, has m fuolino capacity of 2200 gallons of Red Lion, and It featured by scientific stream-lining from the tip of its rounded nose to sleek lines that run acb to the rear of the bodr. In tho above oicture, Earl B. GUmore is shown inspecting tho new vehicle. BY LONDON UP) Even tn the stone age. some 4000 years ago, Britons suffered from rheumatism. Tills waa shown by the skeleton of a stone age man dug up in re cent excavations at Notgrove long barrow, in the Cotswold hills, in the west of England. This atone age veteran showed extensive signs of osteoarthritis. Indicating that when alive he waa crippled with rheuma tism. Experts take this as a sign that the climate of these Isles was at least as chlllaome in winter as it is today. Those present-day Cock neys who have been apprised of this discovery were glad to know that they are not the only auffer era from rheumatism, or "the screws." aa they call it. Portland Officer Cited.

Abbey, Inc., also de livered a new 1936 Willys Sedan to A. B. Coover and a new 1936 International truck to E. Telcamp during the past week. 4- S LONDON (UP) Colors from pot try nuda by mn who died 3000 year us will adorn the hat of fash ionable Mlsa 1039. For the past few months, H.
