PRU STATISTICIAN
ON NEEDLESS ILLS.
Says s7so,ooo, 900 a Year Is
Cost of Preventable Indus
trial Sicknesses.

1T is estimated that in the United
States 25,000 lives are lost annually
as resultsof industrial accidents. of
which at least one-half are prevent.
able by effective methods Of safe
guarding machinery"
The foregoing statement was made
by Frederick L. Hoffman, statistician
of the Prudential Insurance Com
pany, during an interchurch confer
ence under the auspices of the Men
and Religion Forward Movement in
the First Presbyterian Church. held
yesterday afternoon and evening.
Mr. Hoffman was one of the
speakers who pointed out the neces-
sity of fire drills and more general
regard for the lives of employees
than is evident in many industrial
plants. The Prudential representa-
tive chose for his topic community
Responsibility for Industrial Acct
dents and Industrial Diseases"
The cost of preventable illness
among American wage carriers" he
continued, has been zconseryatlvely
estimated by a committee of experts,
in a memorial presented to the Presi-
dent of. the United States, at nearly
s7sa, 100000 per annum..''
The speaker declared that the en-
tire subject should be considered a
matter of community as well as en-
ployers' responsibility. He urged
that employers who fail to provide
the necessary protection be made
subject to more severe penalties than
is at preesnt the case. He declared
that accident and disease prevention
should be considered of primary i'm
portance to employees. rather than
employers liability aor workmen's 5
compensation for injuries or acct
dental death.
In discussing women in Industrial
fields, Mr. Hoffman stated that many
occupations now followed by women
are untitled for them, and he sought
to impress the Importance to the
State of conservation of womanhood
for motherhood.
General Lewis T. Bryant. State
commissioner of labor, also addressed
the conference. After telling what
improvements had been made
throughout the State for safeguard
ing employees. the commissioner
struck local sore spot in referring
to the High street factory fire of two
years ago. Twenty-six lives were
lost in that disaster
IF properly conducted fire drills
had been held in that factory the loss
Of life would have been much
smaller" he said. and many of his
hearers thoughtsit it shouao have been
twenty six smaller The speaker ex-
hibited pictures to Illustrate the
quick and orderly manner in which
employees left a large industrial
plant as result of frequent fire
drills.
The evening meeting was presided
over by Richard G. Jenldnson. In
the afternoon Willard l.. Small, editor

SOHO NEEDS $4,000 FOR
JUVENILE C0NSUMPTIvES
Action on Accommodations Ac-
cordingly Put Off.

Within the near future aceommo-
dations will be made at the Soho
Isolation Hospital for juvenile tuber-
culosis patients.
This waa discussed By the Board
Of Freeholders yesterday.
A letter from the ti=Tuberculosis
League of Orange refreshed the
memory of the board. but they dis
covered that 5000 would be neces-
sary to erect suitable building, and
it was deferred for a time.
The board of managers of the in
stitution have found it necessary to
bar juvenile cases. but against their
inclinations.
The point was brought out m the
letter to the board by Scott MacNutt,
recording secretary of the orgafiza-
ton in Orange. He illustrated how a
physician and nurse made application
for child who was suffering and
was told it was prohibited.

to a grand health-g giving condition.
When it is agreed that all that is
given above is what affects an audi
ence that sees and hears the effulgent
and invigorating comedy, Baby
Mine" it is clear why Manager Will
liam A. Brady has scored such a glo-
rious victory with his new big play.
We all live upon the hope of pleas
ing somebody and the pleasure Of
pleasing is a source of qualification to
all human kind.
And this is what Miss Margaret
Mayo has effected with her comedy
Baby Mine" and which has been so
healthily produced under the direc-
tion of Manager William A. Brady.
1t is a comedy play Of a generation
and there is more piercing, irresisti-
BILE, and health-giving fun and
pleasure in"Baby Mine" than any
comedy of our times.
AS the play is given in many coun-
tries, it will leave lasting and sweet
remembrances of genuine fun and
merrment, which will spread all over

A Word to Parents
About School
Books

AS most of you probablM know, the
margin of profit on School Books is
barely sufficient to pay the bookseller
for handling them. There is doubt
less a paying profit somewhere along
the line, but the retail merchant does
not get any of it.
For this reason, all retail dealers
find it necessary to sell school books
for cash, as they are obliged to pay
cash when buying their stocks from
the wholesale book depots.
Our shipment of school books has
arrived and will be ready for the lit
tie folk when school opens a week
from next Monday.
In buying our school supplies this
year, we have endeavored to antici-
pate every need of the children, and
the result is found in the best stock
of Books, Tablets Pencils, Inks, and
other school stationery ever brought
to Dallas.
Your patronage will be gratefully
appreciated
