The other day a child fell out Of the
window Of a moving car on the New
York elevated railway. That will
cause mothers to shudder. The moth
ers who travel have been positive that
no greater danger could menace their
offspring than open car windows. They
have mentally calculated that it is only
a matter Of time when some precious
cherub will so hurting down under
the merciless car wheels, and the I'M
dertaker will do the rest. Women,
and men, too, worry much about
things that may happen, but seldom
do. AS far as is known, but two chill
dren out Of the millions Of little tray
elers ever fell out of car windows,
previous to the New York episode. In
this case q hand, man, with presence
of mind happened along in time to-
catch the child which feat he neatly
performed, although the human meteor
weighed thirty pounds, and gave
jolt. The child was uninjured. A
story that has been passed down from
early generations deals with a boy who
had an intense love for chicken and
his mother always saved the heart Of
the fowl for her loved one. One day
the heart slipped down his throat be-
fore his teeth could perform their du
ty, and the boy choked to death. Ever
since mothers have been carefully
carving chicken hearts or warning chill
dren to 'chew it fine" and worrying
most needlessly. There are men and
women by the score who will not visit
Europe because Of the perils Of the sea
voyage. They wd1ld not hesitate to
go round the world on a railway train.
Statistics show that ocean travel is
safer than railway travel. The moral
Of it all is that if we humans must
worry, why not endure mental distress
about things that are at least within
shooting distance, if possible.
