ways, asserts O, 0. Pugh, writing in
Safety Engineering (New York), The

erected. Ile goes on;
Safety education rests primaril
upon the. .uctllottton of a new poi
of view 0-i accidents and the value of
human life, It seeks to teach the
individual that accidents do not "hap-

a It tolls us
that prevention cannot be accomplish-
ed solely by thous in executive author-
ity, that taoit approval of the safety
movement gets no results, but that we
mus take an active part, individually
and 0o -operatively. Safety education
must break clown Ibo nkl concepts,
mental • altiucles, and . habits of
thought and action that are of racial
origin and persistolice, If accident
prevention were a mere matter of
physical changes in the working en'
vironment, we would 'have been justi-
fled in expecting marked statistical
indications of national progress years
ago. But accident prevention is not
that. It is essentially an educational
movement requiring the establishment
of a new point of view to be applied
not only to our industrial activities
but to every aspect of our lives.
Industry Is rapidly becoming me-
chanical, and with mechanical produc-
tion and mass production the hazards
become more severe. We note the
most striking no -accident records of a
few of our big industrial plants. The
Clark Thread Company with 4,800 to
5,000 employees operated 268 consecu-
tive days without an accidental in-
jury. This record is the equivalent of
somewhat mora than 1,300,000 man
days. If thread -malting seems to you
rather safe work, let us ;mention the
Edgar Thompson Works of the Car-
negie Steel Company with 414,000 man
days, or the Consolidated Works of
the Illinois Steel Oompany with 444,-
000
44;
000 man days, without accident. In
the explosives industry we have the
Fuze works of the du Pont Company,
with 381,300 man days, and also the
record of seven years with only one
lost -time e..ccideut, costing $18.
These no -accident records are not
"luck," but were achieved only after
mouths, and sometimes years, of pa-
tient, plodding effort. Accidents can
be eliminated, not only those we
always knew how to avoid, but even
those we have been pleased to term
"unavoidable."

Spring is late in Italy. Probably

In the process of evolution, the
survival of .the fittest has been . the
survival of, the safe. The safety move-
ment has been a religion to those who
are giving their lives to it. Safety
consists quite as much in knowing
Safety in industry has turned
out to be immediately correlated with
efficiency.
Safety has turned out to be immedi-
ately correlated with alertness and
Intelligence. Accidents are stupid. It
is the untrained, unalert child that
gets hurt.
Safety must get into the subcon-
sciousness of all of us. So says Frank
El. Morris, safety engineer, Mr. Mor -
t18 'tells us that out of an average
group of 25,000 people we can predict
that twenty-one will be accidentally
killed during the next twelve months,
We cango even further, he says,
and foretell the ways in which they
will probably meet death.
Four will be killed by automobiles,
three by falls, two by burns, one by
firearms,- one by machinery, and the
rest by other causes, One of the four
Killed by automobiles will probably be
a child under nine years old, and one
of the three killed by falls is likely to
be a person over seventy-five years
old. The number of innocent children
sacrificed on the altar of fire every
year is so great thatwe can predict
with almost absolute certainty that
one of the two to die of burns will
• be•a child under live years old.
Mon do not get hurt voluntarily, yet
each one of the 118,000 men who in-
curred injuries did something to quake
the accident possible, There .are cer-
tain risks that can hardly be entirely
eliminated. A mysterious explosion, a
hidden -flaw in stool casing, or the
breaking of a chain, may cause acci-
'dents that perhaps could not have
been foreseen.
We can be very liberal with excuses
for these hundrd men wlio have been
injured, but there will still be eighty-
five of them who are at least partly
to blame for their injuries.

Baby has little upsets at times. All
your care cannot prevent them. But
you can be prepared. Then you can
do what any experienced nurse would
do—what most physicians would tell
you to do—give a few drops of plain
Castoria. No sooner done than Baby
is soothed; relief Is just a matter of
moments. Yet you have eased your
child without use of a single doubtful
drug; Castoria is vegetable, • So it's
safe to use as often as an Infant has
any little pain you cannot pat away.
And it's always ready for the cnueler
pangs of colic, or constipation, or diar-

Tlhe Germahis are now in the lead.
Their Zeppelin is expected to be 111 tlhe
air before the
nikldle of August,
whereas it will be toward the end of
September before the British are
ready to test the R-1.00, Constructional
difileulties, the failure of materials to
arrive and other factors may alte
this prospect.
For many months in the giant shed
at Howden and Friedrichshafen Man
deeds of workmen Have been climbing
like spiders over the largest meta
sausages in the world. Bach of the
new dirigibles is bulkier than au ocean
Iiner. The metal skeleton is covered
with cotton fabric, which has been
treated with aluminum paint. Each
has cost millions of toilers to con
struct. When completed the two air-
ships, each on its own route, will in-
augurate a 'line of commercial air
travel across the Atlantic. The R-100
expects to make a direct crossing from
Cardington, England,`"'to New York,
and the Graf Zeppelin from Friedrichs-
haten to the Azores and then to New
York.
The dimensions and carrying capa-
cities of the two airships are equally
astounding. The R-100 is 709 feet
long, practically a seventh of a mile,
the Zeppelin is 770 feet long and 116
feet High. Both ships are about half
again as large as the American dirig-.
ible, the Los Angeles.
These bare figures, however, tell
only the outline of the story. 'Imagine
an airship comprising three decks, the
two upper dacha for the passengers
and the lower for the crew, Imagine
a dining room capable of holding flfty
persons, floor on which the entire pas-
senger list can dance, promenade
decks, comfol'table cabins, all in an
airship.
Bach airship is capable of carrying
a passenger list of 100 and a crew of
forty, but the Germans plan to carry
only twenty passengers and concen-
trate on mail and valuable cargo.
Meanwhile in the background looms
up the tremendous shape of what will
be the greatest airship in the world,
the R-101, which is building at Card-
ington, England. It will not be ready
until next year, and will then be
placed in use on a route to India.

husband and wife the first tiling that
occurs 00 them is to give the children
to the soeioty," said J'..1. Kelso, super-
1litencient at the Children's Aid De-
partment, recently, Many pcopte
seem to have t110 idea that the society
is delighted to get possession of child-
, „ no matter what the E. tatnl5tances,
In one week thele wore three cases In
1a•11ie11 parents asked- to have the
children taken over because they were
not happy together and decided to
separate. With a very complacent
and condescending
niauuer, a father
and mother 1 m el valhed into myofilce with
a little buy and girl. "Me and the
wife," said the man, "have decided
we can't get along together and are
going to separate and we thought we
would just hand the two children over
to you." It was rattier a surprise to
them to find that I was not at all
eager to accept the responstbilitY, and
when they were further assured that
they would be brought before the mag-
istrate if they attempted any such
thing as to give the children away to
strangers they were still further
•
In theother cases where parents
were so ready and willing to part
with their children they were urged
to settle their differences and to re-
member that giving away their child-
ren was parting with the
precious possession any parents could
have, The result is that the childt'eu
are still in their own homes and ap-
parently the parents have become
more or less reconciled, In the heat
of passiou we are nil apt to do and
say things for which we will repent at
eisure, and my advice to all' Child-
Saving organizations is to bo very
slow about assuming responsibility for
children when parents are at logger-
heads, Too many cases of this kind
have occurred in the past with dis-
astrous results to both the Children
and their parents."

Corsicans Permit Capture
Of Bandit Lacking "Style"
Ajaccio;` Corsica,—Banditry is a lost
art in Corsica. Perfettini, the latest
of the robber chieftains, has been shot
own bygendarmes and theywere
o\ g
ble to get hint only because the Corsi -
alas didn't like •^erfottini's style of
anditry.
They considered his methods too
low -brow. He and his band robbed
and killed in the ordinary manner.
His acts were regarded as "crime,"
while the Corsican bandit, Romanett,
also killed by gendarmes two years
ago, occasionally held for big ransom
ome unpopular person or killed in
endettas.
But he did things in a grand and
icturesque manner that made him
omething of a popular hero.
urs oY Police also is in wireless touch
with both the airplanes and the cars,
so that the thousands of police • and
mounted Garde Republicaine, hidden
in courtyards and blind streets, can be
concentrated in a few minutes when-
ever there is trouble,
The two airplanes work in relays.
The observers are specialists iu riot
work and they seem to sense the gath-
ering of a crowd. This is more diffl-
cult'than it se - ins, say police officials,
because the Communists, the main of-
fenders, know they are watched and
sometimes organize concentrations
quiteas cleverly as the police prevent
them from becoming dangerous.

Word "Boycott"
Was Man's Name
The term "boycott" has crept into
use generally only during the last few
years. Few people realize that this
word originally• was the name of a
man.
Captain Charles Cunningham Boy-
cott was the agent of an estate in
Ireland. His harsh methods of col
letting the rents from the tenants
caused him to be unpopular, In 1880
the tenants, feeling that they were
overburdened with high rents, banded
together and fixed the rent at prices
they could pay. Boycott refused to ac-
cept the new rates. As a result his
life was threatened, his food supply
interfered with, his fences torn down,
his letters intercepted and his servants
compelled to leave him.
All those who were found helping
Boycott in any way were ostracized
by the tenants. As a result when
harvest time came there was no one
to gather Boycott's crops. He was
forced to apply to England for help
and his harvest was gathered by a
crew of "emergency men" sent to hint.
This campaign of persuasion was
later adopted by the Irish Nationalists.
The term "boycott" soon came Into
common English use.
