$4,000 PERSONS ARE
KILLED EVERY YEAR
Victims of Accidents in the
United States
PEDESTRIANS HURT MOST
Street Accidents Are Quite Numerous,
But ViIified Motor Car Seems
Comparatively Harmless.
Banana Peel

New York, April - special)-RecentlS
compiled statistics show that in the
United States 10000 persons, or enough
TO populate a good sized city, die every
year as the result of accidents. When
one considers that this means that hui
man life is ended by fatal accident eY-
cry nine minutes in every day of the
year, one begins to realize what mur-
derous thing is our boosted civilization.
A further study of the figures reveals
that 10000 non-fatal accidents occur every
day from such common place causes as
stepping the wrong way from moving
street car encouraging an unwilling fire
with kerosene, being struck by falling
bricks. and slipping on Icy pavements or
on the despised but murderous banana
peel.
The disabling accidents resulting from
these ordinary everyday causes mount
up TO an enormous total In twelve
months The records of one OF the
largest accident insurance companies give
some interesting figures. During a ten
year period from 1895, this company paid
out about 5000 accident claims. of which
some of the classifications follow: Nall in
foot. $685. falling down steps, $40; thrown
or falling off bicycle, 1853; thrown from
carriage, 1923; slipped on ice in street.
1867 falls in street, 1899; passengers hurt
In railroad collisions or wrecks, 964. Ac-
eording to these figures it Is little wonder
that the accident insurance companies
rate commercial travellers among their
best risks.

Danger in the Factories.

The new and complicated machinery
constantly being introduced into our fac
tories and workshops sacrifices thousands
of lives a year-more in fact. than were
lost in any battle of the civil war. During
1904 the Industries OF the state of New
York alone were responsible for 700
deaths-more than twice the number of
Americans killed in the Spanish war
while more than 5000 persons were more
or less seriously injured In the factories
and shops of the Empire State alone in
that single year. Workers in metal and
makers of machinery and apparatus were
the chief sufferers, contributing seventy
fatalities to the list; the manufacture of
artificial ice cost five lives; every indus
try, in fact, was represented by It's grue-
some quota. Even such seemingly harm
less occupations as those of the tailor,
milliner and laundry worker had charged
up to their account five lives, while the
making of chemicals, oils and explosives
was responsible for seventeen deaths.
