Some interesting figures in regard to
accidents in cotton mills are given By a
writer in the Textile Manufacturers
journal. The plants whose records he
took were twelve in number, and with
the exception of one in New Hampshire
were south Of Mason and Dixon's line.

42.3 per cent were the result OF machin-

Wednesday, and with the exception Of
Saturday the percentage for the other
days OF the week is generally uniform.
Saturday shows low percentage, due
Ia two reasons--frst, less working hours

in operation, thus reducing the chance

the lassitude and languor induced by the
high temperature Of the season.
