PROVISION FOR
SAFETY PRINCIPLES.

Every public school in the State
will be required to devote an hour
once a month in the instruction of
pupils in the best method for pre-
venting accidents and providing for
the safety first" principles. The bill
has been considered by the Leglsia-
tive Committee on Public Institutions
and Education and it received unani-
nous support of that body. 1t was
reported to the Senate with the rec
ommendation that it become a law,
and takes its place on the calendar
This movement will appeal to
people in every section of the State
in this day when so many Suggestions
are being made by those interested
in public education Participation IN
dangerous pastimes and the careless
handling by young people of firearms
and explosives have at times brought
sorrow to many households. Many
years ago, it will be remembered,
boy was accidentally shot and killed
in a boarding school in Alexandria,
and about the same time youth OF
this city who was attending board
Ing school in neighboring town was
brought home blinded for life by
similar accident while gun was be-
ing carelessly handled by fellow
student.
We read much concerning the edu-
cation and development of the Spar
tan youths, laws enacted by Lycur-
Gus but were the ancient lawgiver
to witness modern game Of foot
ball among the young of our day or
the careless handling of explosives
on Christmas Or Fourth of July nc
would doubtless finch.
This matter was considered by the
.itv fathers long before the bulk
of the present generation were born
which is evidenced by the fact that
our city code contains an ordinance
rorbidding indulgence in any past
lime which is dangerous to the par

following were his closing words:
1t is sweet on summers morning
when the air is aquiver with the love
songs of the birGs and fragrant with
the odor of roses blown, to hear the
music of the churchgoing bells, al
invitation to the worAd-wearied to en-

Ford and Edison to War on Cigarettes

Henry Ford, automobile manufacturer
OF Detroit, has joined the anti-cigarette
army and will help to curb the habit,
especially among young boys.
When Mr.. Ford was in Fort Myer,
Fla, recently on his Southern trip with
Thomas A. Edison, discussion arose be-
tween the two concerning the evils OF
cigarette smoking.
When the inventor returned TO his
labratory in Orange, n. j., he wrote a
letter on the matter to Mr.. Ford. Copies
Of 1t will be framed at Mr.. Ford's ex-
pense, aud il School Superintendent
Chadsey agrees they will be hung in all
Detroit public schools.
The letter follows:
Friend Ford The injurious agent in
cigarettes comes principally from the
burning paper wrapper. The substance
thereby formed Is called 'acrOlein.' II
has violent action on the nerve centres,
producing degeneration Of the cells Of the
brain, which is quite rapid among boys.
Unlike most narcotics, this degeneration
is permanent and uncomfortable. en-
ploy no person who smokes cigarettes. "
Mr.. Ford's theory is that no statute
that can be passed can prevent boy
from smoking if he wants to smoke, and
most boys become addicted TO the tobacco
habit through smoking cigarettes.

To Compensate Federal Employees
for OccupstlonaI Diseases

The Kern McGillicuddy bill to provide
compensation for employees of the United
States suffering accidents or occupational
diseases in the course OF their employ
ment was favorably reported by the
House Judiciary Committee on April 81.
The bill is being urged by the American
Association for Labor Legislation and is
endorsed by numerous medical, labor
and civic bodies. The Federal govern
ment now employs more than one.third
OF million men and women, many of
them in hazardous undertakings such as
river and harbor work, navy yards and
arsenals, the reclamation and forestry
services, and in the Canal Zone Official
reports show that m2ny of these en-
plovees are not properly protected against
accidents and occupational diseases, and
that the injured are compensated made.
quately or not at all. One case of acute
lead poisoning causing loss of thirty
seven days by a navy yard employee was
refused compensation under the existing
law because the inhalation of lead dust
in his case was "a necessary incident"
of his occupation, and therefore there
was nothing accidental in the injury
resulting therefrom." A girl employed
to fold heavy paper in the Government
Printing Office contracted from continu-
Gus strain on her fingers and wrista cystic
growth which she was obliged to have
surgically removed, but compensation
was refused her on the ground that her
incapacity was mot due to injury" but
to excessive use." Many similar cases.
including compressed air illness, could
be cited.
In the matter of accidents, fractures
OF an arm or leg" reports the Bureau Of
Labor, "have led to payments in amounts
less than $25, the loss of an eye in
amounts varying between $25 and $50,
and in the case of the loss of right arm
the injured workman was entitled to a
payment of less than $50"
The -McGilIicuddy bill was drawn
by workmen's compensation experts after
careful study. Its enactment would es-
tablish for United States employees
scientific standards Of indemnity in &C.
cord with those of the more progressive
American states and European countries.
