that particular little town, but will re-
turn to worship at the feet Of the god

FL PasO has no official town pump,
nor gallon cup dangling therefrom by
a rusty chain. Being modern even unto
the practical application Of the germ
theory of drinking cups, the city has
established, instead of the town pump
of fame and story, a sanitary drinking
fountain in San JacintO plaza, where

Moons Under a bow of an olive tree
growing in the alligator pool of the

bling fountains are mounted On a con-
crete pedestal with a trinity Of steps
approaching from each side to permit
the three stages of humanity to drink
at the bubbling fountains.

Most Fatalities Among Foreign Born.

Most Fatalities Among Foreign Born.
That it is the foreign-born workman
who is providing the grist for the
death mills of Michigan industry is In
dicated by record of Fl fatalities re-
ported to the industrial accident board
during the last month and made pub
lie by the department in report is
sued. The report shows that OF the
total number of fatal accidents during
the month, only two of the number
were American laborers, other races
being represented as follows: Irish,
8: German, 2; French, 1; Polish, 4;
Syrian, /; Scandinavian, 2; Italian, l;
English, L. nationality unknown, 4.
1t Is also a noticeable fact that the
average age of employees who met
death during the month was under
forty. One victim was fifty and an
other forty-eight. Of the 10 others the
oldest was forty and the youngest
twenty, the average being thirty-two.
The causes Of fatalities among
Michigan's industrial army are as d.
verse as are the accidents themselves.
Public utility companies reported four
deaths, three of which sresulted from
contact with live wires. Iron mining
accounted for three fatalities, two of
which were caused by fall Of rock,
while the third was from a fall down
a shaft. Copper mining is credited
with an equal number of fatal acct
dents, two being caused by fall OF
rock.
Wages of those whose lives were
lost range from 5000 to $24.10 a
week, the average weekly wage being
$1422.
The total cost of these FL fatalities
to Michigan industry, If the compen-
sation Is distributed over a period OF
800 weeks, will be $44,793. equal to q
lump sum of '$39, $3.50, with interest
at the rate Of five per cent. for six
years deducted.
If the same percentages held good,
the 1927 fatal accidents which have
been reported in the ten months dur
ing which act 10, public acts 1912, has
been in effect, have cost Michigan
industry $697, 491. This obligation in
most cases extends over period OF
almost six years.
The monthly report shows a total
of 1853 non-fatal accidents during
June and 1,036 agreements signed up.
This means that 1888 employees in the
state, operating under the workman's
COMPENSATION law, settled for injuries
with their employers without bringing
the matter to arbitration before the
state board Five hundred and forty
one employers signified their willing
ness to come under the new law dur
ing the month.

the amendment. The reason for the
states taking up the subject of utili-
