Deaths due to railway accidents totalled
1852 in the registration area alone; from
street cars, 1855; from automobiles, 1878;
machinery accidents, 1857. Firearms
claimed 1894 victims-1,601 being acct

suicides. In all there were 81, 4O6 accidental
deaths in the United States in 1915, a rate
of 1853 to 100000 population.

VACATION AT HOME.

Suppose you can't take vacation trip
vacation is more a frame of mind than
change of scenery.
Of corFse, a change Of scenery is the
easiest way to arouse new interests, but the
result is not as lasting as it would be if you
pulled yourself out of the rut of your own
road.
If you do this, there is no use whatever
in going away-and per contra, if you can
go away, you must do this.
What do YOU do when you go away?
What new sensations do you disc9ve,:
Fishing? Fresh and salt water sport are
at our DOORS Hunting? All kinds here.
Swimming? We have both still water and
surf Rambles through the country? A
week on a farm? Thirty minutes from the
postoffice and we are in the bucolic para
disc
Tell, We who are artistically inclined.
where more glorious sunset can be found
than those that stain Our boy with a
naiden's blush; where, is moon more beat
tiful than in Our own parks, smiling down
through the clinging tree branches at rapt
lovers? Where can Sweeter air be found
than the inexpressible blend of the perfume
of the pines with the SAVIOR of the sea?
Beauty, health and happiness we have
around us all the Tins if we will but open
our eyes, our lungs, and our hearts. Fortu-
nate those who do not have to go away to
appreciate life-it is so much better here
than it could be anywhere else.

WOMEN AGAIN TO THE FRONT

To provide skilled workers for making
the thousands of aircraft required by the
government is proving so difficult that
manufacturers are conducting vocational
schools. at their plants. The course is
mainly shop work and takes the student
from the woodworking and Woodworking
departments through the wing and body
making departments to the assembling
room Each student spends as much time
in each department as is necessary to &C
Quire a thorough knowledge of its work
and then passes on to the next. AS the
course follows each successive phase in the
making of an airplane, the finished student
is familiar with every one of the thousand
or more operations necessary to make a
modern machine.
Airplane making is almost as highly
specialized as matchmaking. requiring ut
most precision and painstaEing care.
Close observation shows that many OF
the most apt students are women. particu-
larly i'll wing milking and other light oper-
ations to which great skill and accuracy
are essential and large numbers have volun-
teered for the work.
Thus, woman is again to the front. doing
her part to make possible and effective
warfare that will result in early peace.

PERILS OF PEACE.

The per centage of casualties in this war
is smaller than of any previous one, is
proved by NJ. Tardieu, French commits
sioner, in an exhaustive series OF statistics.
If the death list is long, it is because of
the tremendous numbers involved, and pro-
tective measures have developed faster than
engines of destruction, so that a man who
goes away today stands a much better
chance than his father, of civil war days,
OF coming back home.
More, he stands better chance than his
elder brother who went to the front in
1914, for, as Mr. Tardieu proves, losses-at
least as regards the allies-are now less
than they were at the beginning of the war
and are steadily growing smaller. This is
because of the preponderance of Our artil-
lery, aided by the flying corps. During the
first six months of 1917, the French lost,
in killed and wounded, only Is per cent of
their total force in the field

most promptly served. His constant
railing at walters was one Of the
things from which Helen always
shrunk.
And now, as she listened impa-
tiently to his irritable complaints. the
thought came. Why should all the
forbearance and adaptability come
from her? Why must she trv to be
reCOnciled to all his faults, while he

All the way home she dwelt on
this, and the thought gave her cour-
age. But, for fear it might be only
a fleeing courage. she resolved to
make the most of it now She would
tell him the facts about the plate! He
did many things of which she disap-
proved and which she was forced to
accept! Why should he not accept
some of her failings, also?
When they reached home, she hur-
riedly threw off her wraps and went
into the sitting room where he was
settling down with his paper.

And then she waited for the storm,
It came. He was angry, very angry.
He said many things, among them
that he had thought her at least hon

both Uncle Joe and Estelle.

asked. "Then, for a moment listen

And without waiting for a reDly
she quietly left the room, closing the
door behind her.
It was the first time she had as

a long time he gazed at the closed

Married Life The First Year

Her fingers were trembling as she
finally adjusted the veil. What could
she do? The plate was, by this time,
already engraved and probably on its

the engraver to send it.
What COULD she do? How could
she keep Warren from knowing now 4?
If only she had sent Estelle some in
expensive present, as he had told her
or even nothing at all! Anything
would have been better than sending
one of their presents and risking
Warren's finding it out.
And when he knew-with his in
nate hatred for untruth and decep-
ton in any form-what would he
say? For the first time, Helen felt
that she might be afraid of her hus-
band.
1t was Annals afternoon off and
for a change, they had planned to

Suppression of Vereck's publication
"The American Weekly" which is really
very un-American, is strongly advocated
by Hapsburg Liebe, of the Nigilantes, who
SAYS:
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1917-08-23

There is a great and distinct rising from its
circulation. other than its moulding the opinions
the wholly American masses. And that
Etereck's American Weekly gradually leading
German Americans to feel though they were
German---A instead of German
Americans. Dou you get I'm handing it to You
straight. 1t is unrest unrest You can
see can't you, that Viereck to be
GERMAN-a is SLOW
but steadily. breaking the weld Of the melting rot
And it's black shame. &C ~
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1917-08-23

Mr.. Liebe is undoubtedly correct in his
conclusions Under the newly adopted
guise of American patriotism, Viereck is
subtly, craftily influencing the minds of
his readers away from the true principles
OF American democracy and working harm
so great that its full extent cannot be cal
culated.
No other government would permit the
publication o. Niereck's paper to continue
no other nation would bear with a man of
his ilk
Liebe says Our tolerance is simply
muddle-heaAedness but he is wrong. 1t is
Our typical indulgence-our hesitancv to
punish-which will endure until patience
can stand no more, then Niereck and his
