Safety Not First.

Our present-day civilization can
boast of many good and wonderful
things, but safety is hardly one of it's
blessings. The ancients seem to have
moved about in paradise of safety
when we compare the simple condi-
lions of their life with our own COM
pick and dangerous environment. The
very richness of modern life makes
the world dangerous place in which
to live. The figures showing the num-
Der of deaths from violence in recent
years is appalling. Last year, in the
United States alone, $4,000 persons
were killed in accidents of one kind or
another, while nearly 100000 more
were injured. About $4,000 workmen
were killed while at their tasks. On
the railroads of the country about
10000 persons are killed every year,
and 20 times that number are injured.
On the streets and roads 5000 deaths
are caused by vehicles, the automo-
