HOW THE GOSPEL OF SAFETY"
MAKES WoRkMEN EFFICIENT

Ida NJ. Tarbell is doing new series
OF articles for the American Magazine
entitled THE Golden Rule in Busl
ness" In the January number she
discusses THE Gospel OF Safety" and
shows, by citing many specific cases,
Just what the new devices for protect
ing workmen from dangers have ac.
complished. Miss Tarbell concludes
her article with the following para
graphs:
This reduction Of suffering has an
excellent effect on the laboring body.
II naturally increases the efficiency
and contentment OF the shop The
men In the ranks recognize that they
have a big part in producing results,
and they become proud of the work.
II is a wonderful lesson In the value
Of cooperative effort, both for EN-
ployer and employees. Moreover. II
shows how efforts may be made CO.
operative, something which both labor
and capital have poorly understood.
There is no point of the safety
work which makes deeper impress
sion on the laborer and does more to
prevent suffering than the provisions
which are made generally now to give
first aid to the injured. They run
from a simple Observation-Disclosures
kit to a fully equipped hospital with
nurses and doctors always in attend
ance. At the steel mills az Homestead
I saw recently an electric ambulance
for removing the injured at once to
the hospital. which stands near the
center OF a plant covering probably
one hundred and fifty acres and en-
ploying some ten thousand men at the
terrifying and, at the best, dangerous
work OF making steel.
"The effect of all this equipment Is
excellent; somebody cares. Under
the old system nobody cared, or al
least such was the general impress
sion"

NEW INVENTIONS MAY

appears an account Of a new invention
by which moving pictures are now
taken under the sea. A new world is
thus opened to oceanographers and
treasure seekers by this invention
which is in actual use. The device for
going down into the sea was made by
Charles Williamson. a sea captain Of
Norfolk, Va; and his two sons con-
ceived the idea Of using the device as
means Of taking moving pictures.

ToDAY's POEM
LONDON NIGHTS.

O London town! my London town!
 do not know you now at night. When half your lamps are turned
 low down
 And half of them are not alight; Where ev'ry window frame is black And ev'ry neighbor's hall is dim, And all my friends have gone to bed In eager itch to douse the glim. The very buses spectral seem
 And folk get in and out like ghosts, I walk the squares as in a dream, Till reused by running into posts; The few vague people passing by
 Into the gloom in silence slide, And. when I board the homeward tram,
 Nothing but shadows sit inside. Faint I discern the house of call
 Upon the corner of my street. Two cronies stand there at the bar But neither one is standing treat {; Sadly at home I light the gas. i Like one back from some place ac-
 curst-
 And now they've summoned me be- I didn't pull the blind down first. Richard Morton in John Bull.

SWEETS FOR THE SWEET.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 If a girl is to accompany a young man to the theatre and he presents her with a box of candy at the house, is it proper to take the candy to the the ADD LAURA JEAN LIBBEY e atre? If he were to buy it on the way, should it be eaten during intermission or during the entire play? Should she leave her hat in the cloak room or hold it in her lap?
 T. E! s. There is no. set rule dictating ths leaving or taking of the sweets. nor when they should be eaten. Common sense, however. dictates that it should be managed so adroitly and delicately as not to be noticeable to those sitting in close proximity whom it might an noy. 4Intermission is, therefore, the least objectionable time. It is a matter of your own preference as to whether you desire to check or hold your hat. If it is a large hat, with many feath- CTS, if holding it, be sure that it does not interfere with the comfort of your close neighbors.

STERILIZATION OF DENTAL
 INSTRUMENTS DEPoRTANT

The possi biIity of the transmission of disease through the medium of dental instruments has probably been considered by every occupant of the dentists chair.2 It constitutes one of the fears with which a patient is pos sessed the moment he adjusts himself for his period. of treatmeant. Au- thortative instances Of the convey ance of 4contagion in this manner are extremely rare. it's frequency not be- ing determinable. although few will deny the possibilities of occurrences of this character.
 The list of organisms which may contaminate dental instruments is for
 nidab1e, but this does not mean that the diseases of which they ares the causative factors necessarily ensue if they are accidentally carried into the mouth. Their presence upon dental instruments is, however, an indication of what the surgeons call poor tech nique. In surgery poor technique is usually attended with disastrous re- suits, but in dentistry errors of this character may produce no i'll. effects In spite of this relative freedom from danger, dentists are determined that their methods shall equal the high est standards.
 Cleanliness should be the primary consideration in all dental operations. The white coat of the operator rep resents more than comfort; it is the symbol of neatnesS. The dentist who works with unclean instruments, who provides soiled linen, or who places common drinking glass before his patient should be judged accordingly. Fortunately the members of the pro- fession who do these things are criti- cized and suffer from loss of patron age, so that there is a. strong tendency on the part of dentists to maintain their surroundings above reproach. With the sterilization of instrument some carelessness may manifest itself, partly owing to. the fact that many instruments are injured by such pro cesses, are too complicated to be treated in this manner, or that the public is not competent to detect err TOTS of technique. However, the public is rapidly learning the value of aseptic methods and the proper equipment is now found in nearly all dental offices.
 Thorough studies of the sterilization process have recently been made for dentists by the United States Public Health Service. at the request of vari- ous dental associations throughout the country, and in a recent publication of that service detailed information will be found as to the accepted meth ods for the sterilization of all dental instruments.

 RAGTIME AT MOVIES

Liverpool, Nov. so.-Beethoven in a. moving picture theatre is no uncom- mon thing in Liverpool. In the best ..movies,'' Beethoven is not only heard often, but is far from being alone, Wagner, Schubert and others of the great masters are played as well. It is not because the owners are trying to educate the public, but because the class of music is popular in It's best sense, and after coming to know 1t the public does not care for the inferior popular music One music lover re- ports hearing movements from Bee thoven's fifth symphony pastoral and moonlight sonatas, selections from the Wagnerian operas including Parsifal and Tristan, from <Schubert's s unfnish- ed symphony. bits from Tristan and Haydn and such modern works as Tschaikowsky' casse noisette suite, Grfegss Peer Gynt, Sibelips' Finlandia and the like, all performed on orches- tras of from six to eight players. Y ct in the early days of the film theatre the only music was a succession of tunes, such as were whistled on the streets. played by an expressionless pianist.

EARLY RISING AND
 DAYLIGHT SAVING

Millions of people in Europe today have adopted new hours for work. play and sleep. On account of the menace of Zeppelin raids. and the ne- cessity- of darkening streets, they go to bed early and are lip correspond- ingly soon in the morning. The new schedule of time is popular and may prove permanent after the war
 The idea of daylight saving, by set- ting ahead the clocks or other plan to conform more nearly to the hours of the sun, has been much discussed in this cuntry. There is something Q. tonic about the rays of the sun. The wide prevalence of eye troubles is due largely to artificial light. The fresh airs of morning have their own charm and they incite to vigorous effort
 Take date when the sun is rising at a. m, and setting at 5:3O D. m. The man who lies in bed until o'clock is missing at least an hour and half of daylight. Looking at it from the economical viewpoint. he is burning electricity. oil, or gas, for an hour and a half more at night, than would be necessary were he to get up at 5:30 and go to bed correspond ingly early. This is quite an item in running a house. If he has a store or a factory, his bill for lights at ths end of the day is largely needless.
 But prudential considerations like these are lost on the majority of peo- pie Lighted streets. stores, restaur- ants and places of amusement of city life, set many persons blood a-tiag- ling and provoke good cheer. The idea of sitting up late nights after other folks have gone to bed sugBests a jolly bohemiantsnta f1 T oung per- zons looking for shady corners are not the nly ones wh feel that way.
 To those of romantic disposition the hours of darkness have 9. peculiar charm, while daylight seems prosalc The philosophers may talk all they want to. but between the senttnen- talists, the sports and the young folks. daylight saving and early rising are unpopular causes. The sensible Standard time idea was carried through against much oppositions by the united action of the raiIroads There is no such unified interest to promote early rising and daylight say ing.
