TWO DOLLARS A FOOT.
Auto Owners Could Have Saved That
Much by a Blow.

Two dollars a blow may be said
TO be the value placed upon the toot
of the auto horn by Mayor Bell. AT
least, the mayor thinks the absence
of the signal on crossing streets
should cost the responsible automo-
bile owner this sum.
Fines in this amount were assessed
Wednesday against Rev. c. A. jack
son and Mr.. T. X. Cobb.
The fact that the omission was an
unconscious oversight did not relieve
the gentlemen from liability under

To Prevent Car Accidents.

In an effort to lessen the street car
accidents OF which many children are
the victims. the Chicago school board
is displaying warning pictures In all
its schools. Mrs. Ella Flagg Young.
superintendent of schools, has in
structed principals and teachers every
where to begin a course of instruc-
ton to teach the safe way of getting
on and off cars. The children are to be
taught the habit of facing forward In
getting of cars; of not passing be-
hind one car to cross the street with
out first looking to see If another car
is approaching; Of not jumping on and
off cars In play. and OF not playing
near car tracks.
The idea is that by presenting these
dangers when the children are young
an impression may be made on them
and habit formed that will do away
with many accidents in later years.
The street railway companies have
been displaying cards and picture
warnings In their cars from time to
time, and the car officials are author
ity for the statement that these warn
ings have had a noticeable effect in
decreasing accidents. especially among
women passengers.

To Insure Employers

treated before the advance of more
humane and just legislation. and the
equipment of factories and railways
with safety devices has become rec
ognized necessity.
Here again we have the human1ties
and good business equally responsible
for a notable Improvement in labor
conditions. 1t is humane to prevent
as far as possible the stupendous cas-
ualties incident to labor, and 1t is
good business to lessen in number and
Importance those accidents which
form a penalizing influence upon the
employer.
In accordance with the conception
of responsibility toward the workers,
the United States Steel corporation
has spent more than $4,000 in a
single twelve months for the installa-
ton of safety devices in one OF its
plants. The total expenditures OF this
corporation for that purpose are in
excess of 100000 annually. and 1t
has been estimated that. as a result
of this investment. serious injuries to
workmen in this group OF mills have
decreased fully 20 per cent. in two
years
