MAYBE THE PUBLIC WOULD LIKE
TO KNOW ABOUT ACCIDENTS

TO KNOW ABOUT ACCIDENTS
How many little secrets that are of
news value are held in seclusion with
in the four walls of the Fair depart
ment store?
We are led to ask this question by
an experience a Day Book reporter
had with Superintendent James
Buell. and Asst Sup't C. B. Hughes of
The Fair.
Tuesday afternoon some friend of
The Day Book phoned in and said:
ga man has been hurt over in the
Fair. He was painter and was in
jured while painting in an elevator
shaft"
A little later another phone call in
formed us: Somebody has been ia
tally injured in the Fair store. Under
stand he fell down an elevator shaft"
With those two tips to work on a
Day Book reporter went out to get
the story"
First Asst Sup't Hughes was seen.
He said: Sorry can't tell you any
thing. That's against our policy.
The fellow was not badly hurt. He
was able to walk across the street
to a doctors Office. No, there was no
panic"
Next Superintendent Buell. was
asked for information.
81 can give you nothing" he told
The Day Book man.
why not?" he was asked.
Because it is against the policy of
the store" Buell. replied. Then he
went on and merely said that the man
was now walking about the store and
was not badly hurt. The mans name
was refused. The how and where
fore of the accident was refused
How many other accidents that
the general public might be inter
ested in are held as secrets within
the four walls of the Fair department
store?.

(NeW York Press }

Recent bulletins of the department
of agriculture effectually explode an
old bromide. The average citizen,
not closely Informed about the depart
ment's activities is likely to think the
$25,000,000 appropriated for it's use
this year will exclusively benefit the
farmer.
A glance over the recent activities
of the department shows just how
much it is doing for the city man. Its
office of markets deals With trans
portation and distribution of foods for
cities Its meat inspection service,
for which 100000 was appropriate
ed, almost wholly relates to cities
This inspection is for meats shipped
by packers into the great centers OF
population.
The city garden movement, fostered
by the department through a new
series of experiments with some re-
suits already set forth in. bulletin
fern and moro to follow, affects cities
and suburbs. The department is CO.

POLITICS! POLITICS!

Politics always make good reading
no matter how far away the election
may be- Mr.. Howe's letter in yes
terday's New York Herald contained

democracy next year. Mr.. Howe does

late Stiles, Judson as states attorney

and business picks up, the democrats
will have a chance next year, but the

make a great campaign with the con-

Letting Boys Fight.
ST Louis Globe-Democrat.)


The st. Louis county school prin-
cipa1 who let schoolboys fight out
their difficulties when evenly matched
as to age and size, under conditions
that barred gouging, kicking, biting,
hair-p,1lling and blows below the belt,
probably knew that as soon as the
method became public it would pro-
woke a storm of hysterical protest.
It is understood that the method will
be abandoned out of Difference to pub
lie sentiment. The public schools are
not allowed much latitude in matters
of discipline Any policy which takes
account of elementary passions is
doomed, in these progressive days.
Even in reform schools, corporal pun
ishment is put under taboo. Any
form of punishment not based on soft
words is called barbarous
But the St Louis county teacher
can get some satisfaction from the
fact that one of the most successful
schoolmasters of the country has fol-
! lowed his method, with some varia-
lions William Robert Webb of Bell
Buckle, Tenn, except for a short time
he spent as United States senator I'M
der appointment to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Robert l.. Tay-
Tor has for forty five years been head
of a school to prepare boys for col
lege the first institution of the KIND
west Of the Allegheny mountains. He
has long made 1t rule to allow no
quarreling among his boys. When
two begin to quarrel they are sent to
the woods to fight it out. There is
70 umpire and no spectators are al
lowed. They retire by themselves
and they make no report as to the
outcome of the struggle. Sometime s
it is suspected that they do not fight
at all But they do not quarrel any
more.
DR. Webb is one of the prominent
members of the National Education
association and the Tennessee Teach
crs' association and the Head Masters
association He has been delegate to
the general conference of the south
ern Methodist church. All his old
bows hold him in veneration' and many
of them are leaders in national af-
fairs His method of discipline may
shock many good people, but, judged
by results, it has been eminently sue
cessful. He has developed all the
best in the hundreds of boys intrusted
to his care and he has at the same
time eliminated their worst traits. Is
it, not barely possible that he under
stands boy nature better than some
Of our sentinlentalists? XII

be issued shortly is a bulletin con-
tanning results of experiments which
show that thirty substitutes may be
mixed with wheat -four in the MAX
ing of bread. Many of these make
the bread more nutritious. And the
bulletin will describe, in plain terms,
just how this may be done.
Conserving the apple crop for the
city mans use is now the subject of
an inquiry in the bureau of cncm-
1stry. Already a way to concentrate
cider juice, lessening it's bulk and
making it possible to keep it through
out the summer, has been evolved.
1t also has been found that apples
may be utilized in a syrup cheaper
than and as palatable as maple ana
many other syrups now used.
Through it's egg demonstration car
the department is working to save
for the city mans consumption some
of the 100000 eggs wasted an
nually. It also is protecting the city
man from inferior eggs. Only last
week seven convictions were obtained
in New Jersey against men who were
shipping denatured eggs into that
state and selling them to bakers.

bulletin would prevent many men
from instrusting their life savings In
a farm before they had careful1y

ment would be hard to estimate. On
the showing made for the past year
a guess of fifty-f1fty would not be far
out of the way. .....r

Enter the Dish Inspector.
louisville Courier-J ournaD

(LOu1SNlllC oouIlCI Ildl)
The Texas senate has passed a bill
regarding hotels, restaurants and eat
Ing houses to stcrilize all dishes, glass
ware and cutlery in boiling water as
often they are used.
I'VE suppose says the Houston
Post, that after the bill becomes a
law it will be in order to enact fur
Their legislation for the creation of the
Office of state uperintendent of dish
washing with a corps of assistants
sufficiently numerous to maintain et-
fec We oversight of all the dish wash
ing that is carried on in the establish
ments named in the bill"
Unfortunately the worst effect of a
lot of the freakish and faddish laws
that, are placed on the statute books
is the augmentation of offices or the
accumulation Of boards and commits
sions. It is exceedingly difficult to
abolish an office once it has been ere
ated. In the great majority of cases
it remains a burden on the state rev
enues- etimes long after its use
fulness, if it ever had any, has ceased
And it's occupant very early discovers
the need of extra help.
If Texas goes into the business Of
superintendng dishWashing at the ho-
tells and restaura hts it might appro-
priately create the Office of "chief
cook and bottle washer" and no
doubt there would be plenty of polit-
clans ready to take the cash and
let the credit 60 But there will be
no such title in the event the bill be-
comes a law There will be merely
q few additions, to begin with, to the
grand army of inspectors, and by and
by the chief inspector will find The
work growing so onerous that he will
want an addition to the inspectorial
staff every time q new hotel is built
or new dairy lunch is started
1t must have been wise politician
who conceived the idea of regulating
the dishwash ers. To effectively en-
force such law in Texas inspectors
would have to be as numerous as

of the citizens of New Britain. Con-

States, do hereby call upon the prcsi-
dent to take such steps as will result
in the pTOn1DltlOn Oh the 1urtner eX-

nitions of war.
Resolved, That we call upon the
president I'd take such steps as will
protect the merchant vessels Of the
United States Of America from inter-
ference by any power, while engaged
in peaceful commerce and that will
prohibit the unauthorized use of our
flag by the merchant ships of any
foreign nation.
Resolved, That we ask these things
to be done to the end that our true
neutrality may be made manifest to
the whole world, that our dignity as
an independent nation may be upheld,
and that it may be demonstrated that
our flag is for the protection of the
