WOUND INFECTIONS

Columbus. more care is neces-
sary to prevent infection of wounds is
shown in report on accidents, issued
by the industrial commission of this
state. Of 25,731 industrial accidents
causing loss of time but no permanent
injury, one out of every IA was infected
in greater or less degree. OF COL acci-
dents which resulted in permanent par
tial disability, one out of every 80 was
complicated by infection.
According to this report, the danger
of infection is much greater in cases of
lacerations punctures abrasions, bruises,
etc. than in cases of burns and scalds.
OF 1889 cases of laceration, etc, one
case in 10 became infected. One out
of every 20 of the 2,20S burns, scalds,
ETC. was rendered more serious by in
fection. Although getting a foreign
body in the eye is not popularity re-
garded as dangerous, in one out of ev-
cry "a such cases infection followed.
The 1928 fatal accidents analyzed in
the report were ascribed to variety of
causes. The deaths of 33 men were
ascribed to causes connected with the
operation of various kinds of machin-
cry. while hot metals, dynamite, and
other materials handled cost II lives.
Stamping, shearing. and punching
machines won an unenviable first place

Some Friendly Inquiries That
Germany Should Answer

national existence" how does it happen
that its armies are in Belgium. France
and Russia, as they have been from the
first days of the struggle? Why are
they not behind German Notifications
like the fleet?
IT, as Herr Won Jagow says, "acci-
dents involving neutrals at sea in war
time Cannot be judged differently from
accidents to which neutrals are at all
times exposed at the seat of war on
land does he refer particularly to the
accident that befcll neutral Belgium
last summer and autumn, when, through
no fault of its own, it found itself at
the seat of war?
IT, as Herr Won Iagow says. Great
Britain is in y position by reason of its
naval supremacy to give the German
people the choice Of perishing from star
walton or surrendering independence,
what choice has Germany given to Bel
GUM, which would have starved but for
American charity and whose indepen-
dence has disappeared in slaughter and
devastaton'
Finally. if the United States were to
accept Herr Won Jagow's gracious per
mission on behalf Of Germany, a nation
having not single first-class ship on
the ocean, to trade under the tutelage Of
few prowling submarines. what greater
humiliation could Germany put upon us
at the end of a victorious war;
In the guarded language of diplomacy
we have now been informed twice from
Berlin that Germany recognizes no
body's rights under international law.
The next American note might properly
contain an inquiry in business-like terms
as to the German attitude toward trea-
tics--not treaties with its near neighbors
but treaties with an old friend on this
side of the Atlantic, for whom is pro-
fesses a high but rather eccentric re-
gard.

COST OF TUBERCULOSIS.

an investigation of 800 cases in Boston
shows that these men lost over 1925. 600

To emphasize the need for action on
this question, the pamphlet makes this
point:
"Worklngmen are always aroused

FAVORS L. S. WIRE CONTROL

Washington. - Postmaster General
Burleson will renew his recommended
ton Of last year to the incoming con
gresS that the government should con
troll the telephone and telegraph service
1t is an interesting fact that whereas
policies of government have been advo-
ratcd and some adopted. The consttu-
tiorality Of which have been seriously
Questioned, the principle of government
ownership and control of the telegraph
and telephone finds its greatest strength
in the constitution he says. This opin-
ION has been shared by practically all
postmasters general of the United
Statee. who have held that the welfare
and the happiness of the nation depend
upon the fullest utilization of these
agencies by the people, which can only
be accomplished through government
ownership"

The language of diplomacy differs
from that of business. Responding to
the latest German note in everyday com
mercial terms, the president would be
apt to make these inquiries, says the
New York World.
If. as Herr Won Jagow says, Germany
values so highly the ancient treaties be-
tween Prussia and the United States,
still in force, why does it not respect
them? In one of them it is written:
IF one of the contracting parties
should be engaged in war with another
power, the free intercourse and com
merce of the subjects or citizens of the
party remaining neutral with the bel
lgerent power shall not be interrupted.
Thus far the protests OF the United
States against Germany's invasion of
neutral rights have been based altogeth-
er upon international law. The treaties
between the two countries beginning
with that Of 1885, cover nearly every
point now in dispute. in plain words, and
all of them have been disregarded by
Germany
If, as Herr Won Jagow says. Ger
many has no guilt in the offenscs re-
Gently committed at sea, how does it
happen that its excuse for the Lusitania
massacre is not based upon law or right
but upon revenge and desperation? A
man who killed women and children on
such a plea would confess to murder.
Is il different with nation?
If, as Herr Won Jagow says, Ger
many was driven by British naval ac-
tivity to submarine war on trade" what
is the precise use of the great navy
which is now hidden in the Kiel Canal !?
Is civilized nation at war privileged
to decline honorable battle and resort
TO cowardly assassination

is conducting war in self defense for

The Labor Advocate has decided to
give its friends the opportunity to make
some of the most pleasurable trips to be
taken in this country, and at no expense
to themselves.
Would you like to make the trip to
the American Federation of Labor meet
ing in San Francisco next fall?
Would you like to go to the meeting
of the Ohio State Federation at Mans
field, Ohio?
The trip to San Francisco will be made
at the time when the great Panama Ex-
position is in full swing at the time
when all the nations of the world will
have their exhibits fully completed, and
when the crowds will be at their largest
and the city of the Golden Gate in its
most gala attire.
The opportunity seldom has been Of
fered to the person of moderate means
to take such trip without cost to himself.
This trip means liberal education; it
means that you may see all the wonders
of modern times, meet and mingle with
the peoples of all countries; see the
greatest works of art; the most wonder

shown; the Chicago and the St. Louis

TOO MUCH LEGISLATION,

Cape May, N. J.-Increasing legisla-

ments OF the late Judge Cooley:
"In your constitution making remem-
ber that times change, that men change,
that new things are invented, new de-

any such extent as to prevent the legls-
lature hereafter from meeting all evils
that may be within the reach OF proper
legislation. Leave something Tor

NOW ARE WE FALLEN UPON
EVIL DAYS.
(New York Evening Sum-


Now are we fallen upon evil days,
When half the world is lit with battle
flame,
When gaunt destruction, sacrilege and
shame
Go stalking starkly down earth's pleas
ant ways.
Where men walked joyfully the lurid
blaze
OF rapine scars, and there is mad ac-
claim
Of those that loudly call on Gods high
To justify the sanguine sword that Stays.
1t is not strange, then, that our souls
should long
For the sweet recompense that nature
yields,
For the secusion, and the restful song
That rises from the peaceful hills and
fields,
For surcease from the irreparable wrong
And for some Power that shelters and
that shields!

From Kie McLauehlin

Dear Editor: Please allow me space in your paper for a few words. notice some one is continually writing about the Neal Mclaughlin case. and it looks like they are trying to give him the worst of it. l mo- tice the writer was very care full to get this part in. that the supreme court affirmed the de- cision of the lower court, when he knows well enough that the supreme court said that Neal McLaughlin's case could not be decided there. because the bill of exceptions was not gotten in in the time prescribed, which was thirty days. Then when he speaks of Martha Byford the woman who swore that Neal Mclaughlin assaulted her. he calls her a young girl, when he knows she swore that she was twenty-twO years old. Now this is what l have to say. If he intends to give us a fair deal why doesn't he sign his name so the people will know where this hot air is coming from.
