Whose Fault is It?
A LOCAL OCCURRENCE THAT WILL INTER-
EST MANY READERS IN BELL WS FALLS

If, when fog horn warns the mariner to
sheer off the coast, he still hugs the shore and
wrecks upon it, whose fault is it If the red
switch light is up and the engine driver delib-
erately pulls ahead and pitches into another
train, blame the driver. If careless work
man will, in spite of warning, try to lind out
how many teeth a buzz saw has, and the saw
tries to find out how many fingers the work
man has, blame the workman, not the saw.
If a sick man knows that a certain medicine is
doing him good, and he carelessly neglects to
use it, blame the man, not the medicine. Ii
