So, ,24l ACCIDENTS IN STATE
DURING THE PAST YEAR
INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT CoMMIS-
SION ISSUES REPORT.
Some Startling Facts Regarding Num-
Der, Cause and Expense of Acct
dents During 1914 Given
60,241 Non-fataI Accidents.

SACRAMENTO, Nov 80 = Some
startling facts regarding the number,
cause and expense of accidents during
the year 1914 were announced in the
annual statistics prepared by the state
industrial accident commission. Ac-
cording to the report, which covers
60,241 non-fatal and temporary indus
trial accidents occurring in California
during last year, the largest number,
1925, were caused by falling, flying
or rolling objects. From a total of
695,394 days lost as the result, III ,445
were lost through incapacity from
personal falls Opposed to the total
of $604,743 paid to injured, by way of
compensation, $615,7O624 was in
Cured in medical costs, or $1,603.24
more than was paid in benefits This
provides an average slightly above $40
compensation received by each per-
son injured.
If the statistics quoted are to be
taken as example the greatest number
of accidents occurring while riding to
and from work are from personal falls,
the number in that class being 4794.
The greatest amount in compensa-
ton was paid to persons injured while
employed in construction projects and
the amount received was 369,8S7, med
ical costs accrued from accidents.
The greatest safeguard against the
accidents of any description afforded
the people of the State of California
declare officials of the commission, are
the human faculties. Accidents could
to great extent be avoided by a little
attention to safety first precautions.

Dry Law Contested.

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 30.-Persist-
ent reports have been in circulation
for some days that the state supreme
court of Washington has knocked out
the prohibition law. Officially there is
nothing known as to the report.
The favorite rumor is this: The
members of the supreme court wrote
it's decision three weeks ago, and the
majority favor the ''wets," the latter
winning on a technicality. Instead of
handing down the decision, the court
has been requested to withhold it tenn
porarily and meanwhile the "drys'' are
doing everything possible to have the
decision reconsidered.

German Food Crisis.

BERLIN, Germany, Nov 29.-Eight
measures for controlling the price and
distribution of meat and milk will be
followed by similar regulations as to
other supplies.
The government intends before per-
manent cold weather sets in to solve
the food problem as we'll as impro-
vised measures can solve the most
complicated economic tangle in mod
ern times.
The milk regulation assures plenty
to families especially needing it. The
scarcity of milk is due to the lack of
fodder for cattle.
All European countries not block
AIDED are paying about so per cent
more than they were Is months ago,
and the blockaded countries are hit
even harder.
Germany is not facing starvation.
The crisis is not one of want, but of

Did you ever stop to think that the
objective point Of the whole sum of
human endeavor may be summed up
in that one inoffensive and innocent
word, success? 1t would
prove an uncomfortable task to find
common plane where individual ideals,
notions and methods might be har-
monized, but whatever the elements
of discord, they all bring up to a COM
mon goal-the strife for success. Sue
cess is susceptible to as many defini-
tions as the census-taker of the uni
verse might inscribe upon his rolls,
though its possibilities would not then
be exhausted. The term is usually en-
ployed to describe what we conceive
to be the contamination of another's
ambition, but every man is his own
dictionary when it comes to formulat-
ing its practical meaning, and the
measure of intelligent consideration
employed in arriving at personal ap-
plication will prove an important ele-
ment in determining whether achieve.
ment is possible-or desirable.

The problem of good roads, so far
as the federal government is con-
cerned, is how to inject it's assistance
into the situation primarily SO as to
secure efficient expenditure. The
people of the nation are intensely in
terested in this problem, and pressure
will continue for action by the federal
government. The matter is of suffi-
cient Importance to justify again an
attempt to indicate the wise course of
action in case the federal government
is further to expand its activities and
lend direct support. If direct federal
aid is to be expended, 1t should be
done only under such conditions as
will guarantee a dollars results for
every dollar of expenditure, and, as
has been stated, the emphasis should
be placed on the community road, on
the necessity of improvement in an
economical manner of the dirt roads
Of the country, particularly through
the cheaper forms of construction
such as sand-clay. gravel, and earth
Legislation should provide for cooper
alton between the federal govern
ment and the states, and that the
state through an expert highway com
mission should be the lowest unit with
which the federal machinery should
deal. If the federal government rec
ognizes any other unit than the state
highway commission, it will compli
cate the situation in those statei
where satisfactory developments have
taken place and it will retard move
ments in the right direction in othel
communities.

1t has been estimated that during

has been lost in poor advertising. and
many a man has refrained from ad-
vertising his business because he be-
lieves 1t is all waste. False ideas of
display. false opinions of the relative
worth Of space and Of almost every
thing which has to do with advertis-
ing has made this true. Attracting at
tention is necessary, but the way that
attention is attracted is fully as i'm

not a good advertisement for the dog.
