MoTHBALLs A WAR LUXURY
Price of Pungent Marbles Has sesn
ouadrupled Since HostlIities
Began.

The war has affected various
household and commercial necessi-
ties IN the past nine months, but who
for an instant thought that the COM
mon mothball would become a -lax-
urys Such is the case, however, and
the housewife is just beginning to
realize that there is not only dearth
in the supply, but that they have in
creased almost four times in price
And right in the middle of house
cleaning period and packing away of
the winter furs and garments she
is learning it to her dismay To the
pawnbroker and storage house pro-
prietor this is also unwelcome news.
Before the war mothballs were as
cheap as clothespins. Then it was
that Mrs. Homebody could run
around to the corner drug store
about this time of the yearuand buy
six pounds for quarter. Now that
amount will buy her but little
more than a pound of the pungent
crystallized balls.
All this, wholesale dealers in
pharmacists supplies say, is due to
the war, and they explain it in this
manner: Before the war England
sent to this country most of the
naphthalene, of which mothballs are
made. Since last August not ship
ment has been made.

In the case of bigger leak-when

be fixed into position by means of
ropes. But the fixing is not a very
easy matter, as one rope has to be
got right under the keel, to the other
side of the ship, in order to drag
the mat down TO the hole. Two or
three other ropes are also required at
different angles to guide the mat to
its right position.

BENEFITS OF SAFETY WORK
When the Motives Are Purely Human
itarian tho Best Results Have
Been Attained.

In an article in Safety Engineer
ing it is suggested by George 4.
Cowes, manager of the bureau of
safety of the Utica Mutual Compen-
-sation corporation, that fhe fnnda-
mental motive in establishing safety
work in an industrial plant should be
humanitarianism. He writes:
=, Manufacturing corporations in
all parts of the United States have
testified that efficient safety organi-
cations, as conducted in their facto-
rles, have, on an average, reduced the
number of accidents in their plants
at least so per cent. In some plants
accident records have been reduced
as much as 60 per cent. The indus
trial accident board Of Massachusetts
has found that, through the organi-
zation of efficient safety committees
the employees of Massachusetts, may
eventually save on each injury an
average OF S4O. STATISTICS snow that
ssuch organizations have saved at
least so per cent of the losses in
wages sustained by employees on ac-
count of preventable accidents. En-
ployers may expect, therefore, ulti-
mately to save the entire cost Of
insurance on the preventable cases.
At least 60 to 20 per cent of all aoci-
dents are prevcntable. No employer
should, if he desires to make it a
success, organize a safety committee
solely for pecuniary gain. Humani-
tarianism should be the primary mo-
tive to inspire employers to perfect
such an organization"
