transform all the vacant lots OF Syracuse
into fourishing gardens. The idea Is to
have the owners Of unusued land in the

families. Not only for the sake OF econ

NOTES AND COMMENT

new exhibit has been added recently TO
the collection of interesting material at the
American Museum of Safety. A rack of
chisels, centre punches calking tools, drift
pins and other cutting tools of a similar
nature has been received from the Carnegie
Steel Company. Some of these tools are
buried" or nattened and ragged, at the
head. Since the rough head is dangerous to
the man handling the tool, the company
requires the employe to turn in each tool
as soon as it becomes blurred and receive
in exchange others whose heads have been
drawn out or ground off. Exhibited with
