Women Rate High in Home Accidents According to Life Institute Study New York ;U.R; It's women first in home accidents. Accidents in the home top all others as killers. Last year 27, 500 lives were lost. And a new study, reported by the Institute of Life Insurance, shows the most frequent victims are wom en. This fact came out in a safety project, conducted by the Par-ent-T e a c h e r association and Richland County, O., health de partment. The project involved 114 fam ilies, or nearly 500 men, women and children.

NeedleCraft 211 East Main St. Stamped Goods Children's Wear Phone 3-1011 At the start of the project, it was found that accidents occur red at the rate of more than six injuries per year for every person. In 16 weeks, the rate had dropped, so that the average would be about one a year. Notes Are Needed All that was needed to cut the accident toll apparently was a notebook. The Institute said that by members of families making a note of every injury that oc curred whether it was a burnt finger or sprained ankle they found themselves on guard againt new accidents. The project showed that wom en are twice as vulnerable as men to home accidents. The kitchen proved to be one of the most dangerous places, because of its hot surfaces, sharp knives and other kitchen tools. Injuries to women took place most frequently between 10 and 12 in the morning, and from four to eight p.m., the hours when most household chores are done. The study showed that the time of greatest danger to chil dren under 10 is in the after noon and evening, although the Institute said it does not know why these particular hours are the most hazardous.

People have been moving out of the city to such an extent that fringe areas are now becoming heavily pop ulated and a series sewage prob lem has developed, the speaker said.
