Accidents to Human Beings

Nevada was one of the first states to recognize the waste of life in
industrial and other work and the organization of the Nevada Indus
trial Safety Association has received universal commentator. The
visit of the bureau of mines rescue car to Goldheld and other
camps of the state served to arouse anew interest i'll safety first work.
1t is generally admitted that a great waste of human energy is
caused by accidents connected with industrial activities. There are no
official statistics from which the losses due to the industrial accidents
of the United States can be calculated, but the admittedly incomplete
data that is available shows very clearly that there is room for vast i'm
provement in promoting the safety and welfare of the workers. "A
conservative authority has estimated that the number Of fatal voca-
tional accidents to adult male workmen in this country, each year, is
between 10000 and $4,000. In addition to this enormous death rate
we probably have 100000 non-fatal but more or less serious acct
dents, which cause a tremendous amount of suffering, and no doubt
effect a considerable reduction in the average length of life amongst
the masses who IRE exposed to these accidents.
The figures given above, enormous as they seem, apply only to the
adult males that ar employed in industrial plants, moi do they include
the working women of whom there are some six millions in the Cnlted
States. They also exclude the thousands of workers who are minors,
and the mu1itudes of children who Are employed in American factories
and so-caled sweat shops. If all these various classes were included,
we should find that the number of deaths from industrial accidents in
the United States reaches the enormous figure OF $4,000 per annum.

Company's Policy Commended

Denver Mining Record: 1t is a good sign when a large corpora
ton like the Gohdheld Consolidated Mines company makes use OF
some of its surplus to invest in other mines. 1t demonstrates the fath
of its managers in the mining industry in general and III IN stat OF
Nevada in particular. George Wingfeld is one OF the best access'ons
the mining industry has received iii many years. He shows that he
likes the game and is willing to devote his energies and fortunes to 1t.
When Mr.. Wingfeld was appointed United States senator from Ne
vada to succeed the late George S. Nixon. he very modesuy refused
md stated that his business va mining, not law-making. That show
ed the man: he turned down for his chosen business an honor that
would have tempted the greatest we have. 1t has also been credited to
Mr. Winq6elds genius that. when his New York associates desired to
make a huge stock gamble out OF the Goldheld Consolidated, and to
unload the shares at unheard-of prices upon the gunabe public, the
Nevada man declined to participate in the program. He has been able
to make all the money he needs out OF the ground, without pdferins
from the people.
Thus we understand why it is that Goldheld Consolidated has re-
Gently bought the Aurora Consolidated and has marked out a policy
OF getting new mines. Mr.. Wingheld is at the bottom of the program.

MOTOR DELIVERY VANS
HAVE WIRELESS OUTFITS

LONDON, Aug. 8. = Motor deliv-
cry vans of one Of London's largest
tobacco firms have been equipped
with wireless apparatus in order that
help may be rushed to needy smok-
ers on the receipt of the signal 8. o.
S.-meaning "Seno on Smokes"
This firm claims to be the only
one in the world using the wireless
in it's delivery system. The firm
communicates through a station on
the roo of the building. Aerials are
placed on the vans, manipulated by
an operator inside.
AS a time saver, the wireless is
said by the firm to more than save
it's cost. Very few messages are
missed because of atmospheric dis
turbances.
In instance of its usefulness. one
of the wealthy west end clubs ran
out of tobacco supplies at $40
o'clock in the afternoon, within
twenty minutes of closing time for
the firm. The S. o. s. signal flashed
from the roof on receipt of the order.
At one minute to six the motor van,
after a mac race up the street, threw
on it's brakes in front Of the club.
The wireless, therefore, not only saw
ed a large order, but relieved the
clubmen from distress.

PHRASE, "A LITTLE BIT"
TWISTER FOR ALIENS

LONDON. Aug. S.-While the
phrase "a little Bit is so easy for
native English speaking persons to
pronounce that it would seem to
make a weak test for sobriety, it has
been picked out from all other
tongue twisters by Prof. Walter
Rippman of the University of Lon
don for foreigners to practice on.
Any one who can say "a little bit"
correctly has nothing else to fear in
pronouncing English, Prof. Rippman
has told the students from some
eighteen foreign countries who are
here to take the special summer
course of lectures arranged for their
benefit.
The beginner in English usually
gets no closer to "a little bit" than
a leel beet" or "a leet bid" But
when he does master it, the classic
"prunes, prisms and persimmons"
and picked a peck of picked pep
pers' comes comparatively easy.

MAINTAINS LOBSTERS
ARE DIFFICULT TO KILL

LONDON, Aug. 8.-Boiling yer
a slow fire is the happiest death a
lobster can meet, so it has been de-
termined at the Jersey marine bio
logical station. The experiments
were carried out by Joseph Sinel, a
well-known biologist, for the Jersey
Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Animals, whose members asso-
ciated the prevalent method Of kill
ing Holsters with medieval torture.
Lobsters, says Mr.. Sinel, are x
tremely difficult to kill. Piercing the
brain does not to cause the lob
ster more than temporary annoyance,
since his brain is a mere nerve gang
lion the size of a hempseed. He has
to be killed all yer To throw him
into boiling water fails to do the
work either mercifully or quickly.
since he struggles violently to es-
cape for about two minutes.
The pleasantest way to end a lob
ster's troubles, Mr.. Sinsel finds, is
the old-fashioned way of placing him
in cold water and bringing him to a
boil. BY the time the water reaches
the comparatively mild temperature
of 20 degrees, Fahrenheit, he be-
comes comatose. At 80 degrees he
is dead. To use a human illustration,
the biologist says it is like a person
succumbing to a heat wave, with loss
of consciousness and a painless end.
