The first meeting of the General
Safety Committee Of the Grand

months of 1912, before the move
ment started, there were sixteen
fewer employees killed, a decrease
of fifty percent, and one hundred
and twenty fewer employees injured,

percent.
This most,gratifying record is not
due to a decrease in traffic, because

WINTER BY NO
MEANS OVEN.

Did you know that Arctomys
Monax was here Monday? Yes; and
he saw his shadow and returned to
his burrow for another long sleep.
All this is very interesting because
it means that the wood and coal
supply must be replenished and
nature will settle down for another
spell of winter. In other words it is
Candlemas or Grounding day, and
Arctomys Monax is no less than the
grounding.

Valuable Land In Enxnt.

The presence in this country Of Sir
William Willcocks,' Of Assouan dam
fame, and now engaged on the flood
control of the ris-Euphrates river,
is an event of more than ordinary sig
nificance, because of its bearing upon
the question of the control OF flood
water, says the Wall Street Journal.
The Nile valley irrigation works, &C.
cording to Sir William, has enabled
100000 people to live on 100000
acres. Land, he says, in the vicinity
Of the Assouan dam Is worth from
$3.50 to $1,000 an acre, and they raise
FIVE hundredweight of cotton on 1t,
which is worth 800. His view Of our
methods Of controlling the Mississippi
is Of much value because of his ex-
perience in Asia and Africa. No for
eigner has more studiously read the
reports of our river and harbor engi-
neers. His main suggestions are that
the levees be made wider and that
relief channels be provided to mitigate
the strain when waters at their maxi
mum might be carried off as a means
Of safety.

THOUGHT HER A FOREIGNER
Mrs. Petrowsky Was Unused to
Words Employed by Volunteer
Social Worker.

The trained social worker was
breaking In" a volunteer, and 80 she
escorted her on her first round Of
visits.
ASK questions about their husbands
and children" she prompted. outside
Of Mrs. Petrowskys door. They can
understand those, and they like to an
swer, and we get the information we
need at the same time"
So, as soon as the preliminaries
were over, the volunteer turned to the
lady of the house with her best So
ciety smile.
Has your husband regular employ
ment at present, Mrs. Petrowsky?"
she inquired.
Mrs. Petrowsky looked blank. The
volunteer raised her voice and spoke
more slowly:
HAS your-husband-
ployment-at present. she reiterated.
"Huh?" asked Mrs. Petrowsky, stu
pidly.
"Has-your-husband-" began the
volunteer for the third time, still more
loudly.
The social worker interrupted with
friendly smile. "The lady wants to
know" she explained, quietly, has
your old man got steady job?"
Mrs. Petowsky beamed with de-
light. "Oh, va! Oh, ya!" she assent
ed with many mods of relief. STEADY

Mistaken in the Portrait.

Mcneil, the German artist, was a
regular patron of certain Berlin
wine shop. One day a man and wife
came in and sat down at his table;
and presently Mcneil noticed that the
woman was making fun Of him.
Calmly he drew out his sketching
book, gazed at the woman awhile, as
II to study her face for portrait, and
then commenced to draw. Her hus.
band Immediately took notice: Il for
bid you to draw picture Of my wife,
Stop it," he exclaimed angrily.
Mcneil made few finishing touches
and then passing the sketching book
over to the man, he inquired, with a
laugh us that your wife?" He had
drawn a goose.-Youth's Companion.

BUSINESS AND THE TARIFF
Secretary MeAdoo Tells Little Story
to illustrate What He Thinks
Effect Will Be.

Since both the tariff and the cur

the treasury department, 1t is natural
that newspaper men should go there
to query the chiefs with questions
about their probable effect on bust
ness.
Boys" said Secretary McAdoo re-
Gently, there's nothing to 1t. The
country has been subjected to revi-
sions before, and always has survived
them successfully. Generally speak
ing, the attitude of business Is of re-
ceptive Indifference toward the
changes that have been made, because
business men have made up their
minds not to let such things interfere
with their business. 1t is just like
Freddy. Do you know about him?
"One day Freddy's mother said:
Freddy, If you are not good boy to-
night you'll go to bed without your
dinner
Ma, shouted businesslike Freddy.

LAW MAKES DRuNKARDs.

Following Is an excerpt from q ser
mon on THE Man Slayer In Our
Midst" by Rev. DR.. Manley Benson Of
Canada. The words apply equally
well in the United States as in the
Dominion.
Some tell us that the revenue will
suffer II we stop the sale of strong
drink There LIS no revenue from the
sale Of strong drink. For every dollar
received as a so-called revenue you
taxpayers pay $40 to get that dollarl
Smart q? business, that, for our
young and growing Dominion! Some
say, You cannot make folk sober by
act Of parliament but we are making
drunkards by act Of parliament. True,
you cannot make men sober by law,
but law can remove the temptation.
You cannot cure smallpox by law, but
you can keep the pest ridden off our
streets by law! You cannot make a
man honest By law. but you can pun
ish and make 1t hot for the thief! The
law can be made to dry up the sources
Of this abominable traffic. We use
precautionary measures against fire
and food; why not against business
that Is burning up the brain and
muscles Of this Dominion"
