TOO MANY HORSES GOING ABROAD

The number of horses and mules being shipped
from ports in this country for in the already
is reckoned in the hundreds of thousands. The
shipments are aiding the Allies since their dest
nations are ultimately England and France, and at
the same time they are deprivmg this country of
very valuable domestic animals. The United States,
in its foreign horse trade, also is doing harm to
itself in dsposing of great numbers of mares at a
time when a shortage of brood mares already
exists
We are not yet ready in-the United States en-
tirely to replace horses with automobiles. The
latter are, of course, serving many purposes from
which the former are being gradually retired. Yet
horses still are indispensable on the FARMS and it
will be the American farmers, largely, who will
suffer if the war leaves this country in want of
sufficient supplies of the animals
Most of the big American breeding farms went
out of business when the racing tracks in various
states were closed. The stock of these farms, in
cluding large numbers of the best thoroughbreds,
were disposed of abroad, where even in these crit
cal times racing is favored by the people. At the
time of the latest official count however, there still
were % 100000 horses in this country not incon-
siderable number 1t is this number which ship
ments abroad are depicting.
Canada has found it the part of wisdom to pro-
tect its horse breeding industry. Our government
is, perhaps, making unfortunate mistake in per-
mitting the expectation of horses in such great
numbers. The animals can for the present be used
to much better purpose in America than in Europe
and surely, as humane persons wisely point out,
they would be much more comfortable here.

Senator "Jim" McNichol, of Phil

learning the contracting business from
the ground up-in fact already have
learned it, and when he has par
ticularly difficult piece of work to do
he places one of his sons in charge
with directions what. to do and in
structions how to carry on the work.
After that he gives himself no con-
cern, for he knows that his instructions
will be carried out to the letter. That
is one of the reasons why the Senator
takes things so easy when attending
the sessions of the Senate. He knows
that his business is in good hands.

State Health Commissioner, the Leba,

whenever pumping is necessary, water
for domestic purposes should be boiled

How Sones Catches Trout

Senator Sones, of Lycoming, is one
of the biggest lumber operators in the
State, and has big lumber camp some
miles from Williamsport on one of the
finest trout streams in the State, but,
strange to say, he never has tished for
trout in his life, and he never caught
a fish. He likes to have his friends
visit him, however, and then he sends
a skilled trout catcher out for ga
mess" and has the trout prepared in
true camp style. That is "some style"
as regards cooking.

The Heavyweight of the Senate

Senator William Wallace Smith, of
Philadelphia, is a son of former Mayor
Smith, and is typical Philadelphian.
He has been identified with the city s
interests for many years and knows
the village like book. Senator Smith
enjoys the distinction of being "the"
heavyweight in the Senate. There are
other Senators who lay claim to good
deal of avoirdupois, notably Senators
Schantz, of Lehigh; Sproul, of Della

Connell, of Northumberland, but they
are not in the same class with the big
Philadelphian. Like all fat men, he is
good natured and jolly.

ing both sexes, may be c~onseryatively
estimated at $4,000 and the number of
injuries involving a disability of more
than four weeks, using the ratio of
Austrian experience. at approximately
700,0 600.
These numbers, impressive as they
are, fail to indicate fully the number
OF industrial accidents, for such studies
as have already been made show that
of the accidents involving disabilities
of one day and over at least three
fourths terminate during the first four
weeks.
The injuries which contribute the
greatest number OF fatal accidents,
according to Science for Aug. 80. 1915.
are railroad employments and agricul-
tural pursuits. each group being re-
sponsible for approximately 4,20Osfatal-
tiles each year.. Coal mining contrib
utes more than 1900 and building and
construction work nearly 1900. Gen
eral manufacturing, while employing
large numbers. produces only about
1900 fatal accidents.
When the fatality rates are consid-
cred. metal mining ranks as most hax-
ardous. with a rate of four per thou
sand; coal mining IN next with a
rate OF 3.5. and fisheries and navigation
following with a rate of three per thou
sand.
Manufacturing industries as a whole
rank lowest, with a rate OF OBS per
thousand. but the fact should not be
overlooked that this low average rate
overs manufacturing groups varying
widely In hazard. including on the one
hand boilermaking and the various de-
partments of the iron and steel indus
try. In some of which fatality rates as
high as those In metal and coal mining
have prevailed. and on the other hand
the textile and clothing industries. in
some of which the risk of fatal acct
lent is practically negligible.
These estimates are derived from
the best sources available. At the pres
ent time there are no entirely complete
and trustworthy industrial accident
statistics for ever a single important
industry In the United States. This
lack of trustworthy industrial accident
statistics is due to the absence Of any
uniform requirements I'm the various
states as to the reports Of Industrial ac-
cidents."

the late planted corn will not be In

fact that ii has been kept green and
