to Be Used for Commerce.

Having completed her days of useful

the representative of the Treasury De-
partment, the commanding officer of
the new cutter Ossipee has turned the

is said she will be flied up for CONNER
cial purposes. The Woodbury., which
has been succeeded on the Maine coast
by the new cutter Ossipee, was the old
est vessel of the Treasury Department
fleet of cutters and has always been a
most efficient ship. She is wooden
null ship of 500 tons displacement and
was built in 1864 at Philadelphia. AS
an ice breaker her equal could hardly
be found on the Maine coast and
throughout the long winters one of her
chief duties was to break out vessels
caught in ice and to escort them to safe
harbors. The cutter Ossipee, which will
take the place of the Woodbury. on this
work, is a steel hull vessel built with

IGNORANCE is BLAMED
FOR WORKERS DEFECTS
Proper Regard for Personal Hygiene
Would Aid Garment Makers,
Say Investigators.

A large part of the defects and dis
eases of garment workers arises from
ignorance or neglect of personal hy
giene. a proper regard to these prin-
ciples on the part of the workers would
go far in nullifying the bad effects of
the sedentary indoor occupation upon
the health.
This is the conclusion reached by in
vestigators, under the direction of the
public health service studying the ef-
feet of industries upon the health of
the individual worker. undertaken in
the women's garment industries of New
York city during the summer of 1914.
The joint board of sanitary control of
the industries in question and the va
rious labor unions concerned Joined in
requesting this study and co-operated
in its performance.
The recommendation is made by the
Investigators that the workers in per-
sonal hygiene, especially the correc-
ton of visual defects, the formation of
oral hygiene. will do much to rectify
these bad conditions. The report
points out the, necessity for better in
struction of school children in personal
hygiene and that their postural train
ing shall be insisted upon.
Two thousand male workers and 1000
female workers volunteered for careful
physical examinations by officers of the
public health service. Only about =
per cent of the total number examined
were found free from defect. or dis
case, there being recorded 13.457 de-
fects of all kinds. of which 9,451 were
in males and 3.916 females, or an av-
average of 4.36 defects and diseases to
each individual examined.
While not all of these were serious
defects, many of the conditions noted
exercised deleterious effect upon the
individual An interesting feature of
the report is that there were discov-
cred no vocational diseases peculiar to
the garment trades. but this sedentary
industry was shown to intensity the
bad effects upon health and efficiency
of certain defects and diseases.
