shot and killed In his tent at the state
mobilization camp near here by Mrs.
H. G. Adams of Atlanta. At the coun-
ty jail last night, where she was held
on charge Of murder, Mrs Adams as
serted Captain Sprattling, who was a

firmatiye, fred at him twice from a
small caliber revolver, both shots TAX

the officer, you have ruined my home'
Referring again to the shooting, she
declared: Il decided there was but one
thing for me to da, and did It. When
the testimony comes out feel sure the
public will be with me-"
Mrs. Adams left her home in At
lanta shortly after her husband had
gone to work, leaving her and their
three children at home. She said last
night she had previously told her hus-
band Of alleged improper relations be-
tween her and the captain.
Captain Sprattling, ~ years old and
married, was well known in medical
and social circles In Atlanta. He was
regarded as an expert on insanity and

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY.
CONTINUED from Page -

CONTINUED from Page -
Accidents advertised Every acci-
dent which occasions or may occasion
serious injury to a workman should
be thoroughly advertised in the fac
tory. both on the bulletin boards ami
in the meetings of the safety COM
mittees together with the means of
preventing such accidents. Even pho
tographs of the results of the accident
are effectively used for this purpose.
The response from the recipients of
the suggestion for the appointment of
shop safety committees was quite
gratifying. and in addition showed
that the manufacturers of this State
were alive TO the necessity for acci-
dent prevention.
For some months there has been
noticeable increase in the accident
ratio asked our chief statistician
for his explanation of this regretta-
BILE development, and both because of
the reason given and the emphasis for
the safety campaign am reproducing
Mr.. Hatch's letter herewith:
August 10. 1916.
Hon. James NJ. Lynch, State Indus
trial Commission, Albany, New
York:
Dear Sir:-Referring to the matter
OF the increase in accidents reported
TO the Bureau OF Workmen's Compen-
sation. which you mentioned in con.
versation the other day. beg to sub
NIT the following;
Undoubtedly there are two elements
in this increase. both of which are
generally recognized as practically
normal for State situated as New
York is just at this time. The first
of these is the fact that under a com
pensation law there is always a peri
cd of some years in which this is an
increasing completeness of reporting
of accidents as the compensation law
| and its benefits become more gener
4 ally understood.
The other element is the fact that
in times of business expansion like
the present the number of accidents
per unit of exposure tends to increase;
in other words, the number of acci'
dents occurring tends to increase
faster than the increase in number OF
persons employed when business is
expanding. The explanation of this is
mainly twofold. on the one hand. is the
element of large numbers of new and
inexperienced workmen being taken

known. 1t is much better eaten alone
with mayonnaise than mixed with
other vegetables

Keeping Lemons.

Lemons may be kept soft and fresh
for some time either by keeping them
in jar of water or by coating each
lemon with white Of egg. Two or three
whites will be sufficient for a great

quired for use rub the coating off with

on, and on the other is the presen =
for sped in the work in order to in
crease output. Both these influences
reflect the human element in acci-
dents as distinguished from the physi-
cal safeguards. When to this is add
ed the further consideration that only
a minor proportion of all accidents is
due to machinery. the present situa-
tion lends emphasis to the need for
dealing with the human element in
accidents as well as provision OF me
chanical safeguards. In other words,
from the point of view of prevention,
the moral of the present situation is
the necessity for educational and
safety organization work designed es-
pecially to promote care and proper
rules for conduct OF work. etc.
Very truly yours.
(Signed) L. w. HATCH,
Chief Statistican.
Officers of trade unions should also
give attention and support to move
ment for prevention of Industrial ac-
cidents. and a study of bulletin No. n
and other safety literature issued by
the State Department of Labor will
be found both helpful and result-pro-
ducing.
Compensation for industrial acci-
dents is a fine. thing, but it is much
finer to prevent the accidents.
