The Creed of Safety

Workers and employers are fighting acct
dents in factories and business houses. Every
man injured entails loss to himself and family
and to the concern that employs him. Appended
is Safety First Creed that has been compiled
by an insurance company:
II BELIEVE IN SAFETY FIRST because
the loss of my ability to labor means suffering
for those love most on EARTH it leaves to the
mercies of more or less Indifferent world those
whom every workman desires most of all to
protect
81 BELIEVE IN SAFETY FIRST because it
tends to conserve my ability to labor and that
ability is my sole capital; losing it, l am bank
rupt.
Il BELIEVE IN SAFETY FIRST because my
safety means the safety of my fellow-workmen.
In risking myself risk others. ,s
81 BELIEVE IN SAFETY FIRST because the
bread I earn with my own hands is sweeter to me
and mine thousand times than charity in any
FORM"
Familiarity with danger breeds contempt.
Many accidents can be traced to carelessness.
Safety First means a constant fight by workmen
and employers against danger in all forms.

ing the board, but recent developments seem to
indicate that Whites word is final with that
body. It will be remembered that the board had
no statement to make while Fred White was out
Of the city. Shortly after his return, lunch
con was held at the Y. M. c. A., and then White
issued the endorsement of Melpolder.
Naturally every one is wondering whether the
board had to wait until White returned before it
could issue a statement. Is it possible that
Whites advice and opinion had to be asked be-
fore the board felt free to make statement !?
Can it be that the board pays very little atten-
ton to the work Of the bureau, relying on
Whites judgment for guidance, and accepting his
conclusions without reserve or doubt? Until
the statement was issued no one believed that
White was the big man, the controlling factor,
the deciding element in the board. Everyone be-
lieved that he merely attended the meetings OF
the board, and that some of the men who are pro-
minent in the affairs Of the city were the ones
who dictated it's policy and advised Melpolder.
Evidently this was mistaken notion. Fred
White looms up now as the real man behind Mel
polder's throne Of charity.
It may be that members of the board are not
apprised of the actual hostility of the community
toward Melpolder. Perhaps some of them do not
know that Melpolder is descredited and that the
Social Service Bureau is being forced into posi-
ton where it will have no defense Some of the
members Of the board we believe, do not know
the real situation. They have taken the explana-
ton of Fred White as complete and absolutely
true statement of the situation and have not, on
their own accord, made inquiry to find out
whether Whites statements may not be prejudic-
ed by his intimate relations with Melpolder.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious. as j,
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces
You can get this at any drug store,
and . few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisfen the hair with water
and rub 1t in, about a taaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance Of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and il
soft. fresh looking. bright, fluffy,
wsvy and easy to handle. Besides, it
loosens and takes out every particle
of dust. dirt and dandruff.

He paused. No one seemed to be
disposed to answer and he went on ::

to sell the secret on its blade, in re-
turn for Inez for whom he had a Sc
cret passion? have reasoned it all
out-the offer, the quarrel. the stab

Lockwood proudly caressed the stray
locks of dark hair that futtered ON
his shoulder.

looking.
Before us stood, unmasked at last,
the scientific villain who had been
plotting and scheming to capture both
the secret and Inez-well knowing that
suspicion would rest either on Lock
wood, the soldier of fortune, or on the
jealous Indian woman whose son had
been rejected and whose brother he
had himself already, secretly driven
to an insane suicide in his unscrupu-
lous search for the treasure of Trlx-
lilo. It was Professor Norton, himself
first thief of the dagger which later
he had hidden but which Whitney
detectives had stolen in turn from
him; writer of anonymous letters,
even himself to throw others off the
trail: maker of stramonium cigaretts
with which to confuse the minds of
his opponents, Whitney, Mendoza, and
the rest; secret lover of Inez whom
he demanded as the price of the dag
ger; and murderer of Don Luis.

On What War Hinges

Some have thought war hinged on the next
sinking of an American boat These have been
mistaken The American steamer Housatonic.
England bound with contraband, was sunk Sat-
urday, but no war follows. This is in perfect ac-
cord with President Wilson's policy Of referring
all settlement of damage or loss to American
property due to the war until the war is ended.
Then he expects the Americans who have suf-
fered losses to be reimbursed through legal
MEANS .@
Germany can interfere all she is able to with
our commerce because that is what we have been
permitting England to do. England has confis-
Gated American cargoes bound to neutral ports
and Germany may sink American vessels bound
to- foreign ports, provided, that she takes no
American lives in the process. That is President
Wilson's fighting point and as long as Germany
does not reach it there will be no war.
This dangerous situation, of course, goes back
to the beginning of the war when President Will
son decreed that Americans should have the right
to travel on their or on beligerent vessels to
any port without danger to life. A great many
Americans disagreed with the president and held
that Americans should not travel on belligerent
boats, many Of which carried ammunition, and
thus needlessy and foolishly expose their fellow
citizens to the dangers of war. President Wilson,
however, saw the problem in different light and
now as result of his policy the country, as Sec
rotary Lansing somewhat graphically stated a
month ago, stands on the verge of war.
One mistake on the part of German subma-
rine commander and President Wilson's policy
automatically throws the United States into the
European holocaust, and American lives will be
spent and American wealth and living will be
taxed to compel Germany to adopt the presi-
dents conception of the rules that should govern
submarine warfare.
