Many people have always had a
great dread Of crossing the ocean,
but according to the following facts
found in an exchange, one is safer
when crossing the Atlantic than at
amy other time According to fig
ures carefully collected by a German
statistician, the most dangerous oc-
cupation in the world is that of a
farmer, IN contrast to this a trans
Atlantic steamer is about the safest
place one can find: These investi-
cations show that 45 pre- cent of all
industrial accidents happen to farm
ers. Last year more than a million
passengers were carried across the
Atlantic without a single catastrophe.
Even among those employed in the
building trades, the danger of the
accident is only about one-quarter
that of the farmer, while in mining,
which is commonly supposed to be
very dangerous the chance of mis-
hap is even less. More people are
killed by falling from open windows
than in crossing the Atlantic, so that
the deck of a modern line, is actu-
ally safer than ones own home.
