National Manufacturers Association
Considers Safety Appliances.
New York, May 49, The beginning
OF a new era in the safeguarding Of tn
country's vast industrial army will b
witnessed at the 18th annual conven
ton of the National Association o.
Manufacturers, now in session.
The absolutely vital necessity Of pre-.
venting accidents in industrial estab-
| Iishments has forcibly been brought
home to the 3, 900 manufacturers form
ing the association by the fact that
500, 900 persons suffer from accidents
each year In the United States. Two
hundred and fifty million dollars Is the
estimated economic loss annually, In
| this country, due to accidents. At
| least half the accidents are considered
preventable.
A comprehensive report of COM
mittee appointed some time ago by
John Kirby, Jr., president Of the ma
tional association, will be made, and
the convention will be addressed by
Professor Frederick Remsen Hutton,
Of the American Museum Of Safety;
Miles M. Dawson, who has studied ac-
cident prevention abroad for the Rus
sell Sage Foundation, and by other
eminent speakers.
President Kirby said on the subject:
"The question of appliances for pre-
venting accidents to workmen, and acct
dent indemnity, are at present receiv-
ing more attention than any other is-
sues which attract public interest in
the field of industry. They are live
questions of vital Importance to mem
bers from an economic as well as hui
manitarian standpoint.
In preparing its report, the COM
mittse has communicated with 1000
employers in all parts Of the United
States, as well as $50 national, state
and local organizations Of employers.
Every state legislator of every state in
the Union was also written to. Spe-
cial correspondence was carried on
with American and European experts.
"a little more than 10, 900 replies to
The various communications have been
received. There were only three pro-
,esting, even in a mild manner,
against taking up the questions of en-
,loyers' liability and workmen's in
lemnity. 1t was disclosed that 80 per-
ent of the membership of the associa-
ion favors constructive, progressive
'olicy of dealing with this difficult
uestion."

comets TAIL PAST
Nothing Unusual Rewards Millions
VINO Watched Tor Phenomena
No III Effects Nor Electrical Distur-
Dances Apparent-Many Sun
Spots In Evidence.

Portland, May 19.--The comet came
the comet went, and this old earth Il
no worse and no better, and thus fal
very little wiser.
| There was no collision, ~ the super
stjtious and the ignorant feared, ant
now that the comet Ia headed away
from us, there will be no recurrence Of
the manifestations Of terror that were
recorded from all parts OF the world.
The earth did pass through the tail
of the comet, but nobody suffered from
the deadly cyanogen gas. To the naked
eye, the tail of the comet was indeed
the "veriest approach to nothing set in
the midst Of naught."
I'm fact, the phenomena of the day
light hours Of yesterday were far the
more interesting. During the after
noon sunspots were observed In vary
ing numbers from FIVE Western observ-
atories at the same hour, but the as
tronomers who recorded them we're al
most unanimous in the belief that these
disturbances had nothing to do with the
approach of the comet. Two were
seen from San Jose, with Is smaller
spots; three considerably accentuat-
ed" spots from Chicago; three connect
ed spots from Vallejo, CAL, and two
from Portland, Oregon.
None OF the Eastern observatories
had anything of note to report, either
turing the day or the night. Near
Chicago, at Williams Bay, Wis, where
3 the great Yerkes telescope, the con-
1ltions for observations seemed the
pest and the astronomers there were
confident that the negative as we'll as
ne positive results of their examina-
Ion would be of lasting scientific
1alue.
Inc whole performance took little
more than five hours. Observers diff
red as to the exact time at which
he earth began to pass through the
omet's tail, but the opinion averages
moment between 10 and IL o'clock at
light, Eastern time.
The combined speed of the tail and
ne earth was estimated at slightly
nore than 46 miles second, and the
readth OF the tail at about 1000, 900
allies. {
friday the comet will become visible
gain, headed away from us, with the )
all sticking straight up out of the
'estern sky little above the spot 8
here the sun sinks. There will then
no light from the rising sun to dim T
le glory of the spectacle and it is t
Kelly to be far more majestic than in il
'e stages of the approach. AT the
ID OF this month, goodbye for another C
years. a
