Woman.

The smallest money order ever made
out by the agent for the local express

printed in the Ardmoreite. The wom-

owed the firm two cents. Indignant
and unable to realize the spirit that
would prompt anyone to mail a bill
for two cents, the woman decided that
a post Office stamp would not suffice

Records in Deep-sea Diving.

That deep diving is a practical pro
cedure not accompanied by great dan
ger when the proper precautions are
taken seems to have been demon
strated by tests carried out by the
navy department during the fall of
1914 off the coast of New England.
In these tests only such apparatus as
is supplied with the diving outfits OF
all naval vessels was used. About one
hundred dives were made, and al
though great depths were reached, no
mishaps or difficulties were expert
enced. One diver went to depth Of
274 feet, and it is believed by the Off
GERS in charge that a depth OF 300 feet
or more can be reached without seri-
Gus danger.

How Much Accidents Cost.

The actual number of workmen
killed and injured annually in the Unit
ed States Is not known definitely. The
best authorities. however. have esti-
mated fatalities TO the number of 40,-
900 to $4,000 annually, and non-fatal
accidents producing an annual loss OF
2OO,OO0.OOO working days. Estimating
the value to society of each man killed
at $4,000, and 81 as an average daily
wage OF the non-fatally injured. the
economic annual lo-s sustained by the
nation amounts to approximately $780,.
100000. This is the amount which. in
some way or other, must be charged

industries where the accidents &C.
