The general idea of the newspaper

erroneous ideas that many people
have concerning a paper is that 1t

nothing. Just as well say man bet

telling force in such direct admoni-

compilation for use in a factory:
"Thou shalt take no unnecessary
risks. nor try to show off. nor play
practical jokes, for by thy careless
ness thou mayest do injury which
will have effect unto the third and
fourth generations to follow.
Remember thou are not the only
one on the job, and that other lives
are Just as important as thine own.
Thou shalt not throw matches or

clumsy worker is menace to his
fellow workers."
