YOUR CASH REGISTER CHECKS.

At a time when high prices seem to prevail, it
behooves every one to get all they can for their
money. Every Cash Register Check that goes
out of our store has a certain value. We are still
following our original plan of giving Yellow Trad
ing Stamps in return for the checks, adding 500

ed Ten Dollars.
We are also continuing our arrangement of
helping our friends to get their premiums. Once
each week we take the books to the Stamp Depot

 STOCK MARKET 

New York, Nov. 13.-Irregularity at the outset of today's trading in the stock market soon gave way to heav- mess, prompted by renewed selling of railroads. Canadian Pacific estab- lished a. new low, dropping 3-4 to 131 Is, and St. Paul also made a new low record on it's one point decline to 36. United States Liberty As sold at the lowest price so far registered, a few lots changing hands at 99.94 to 99.90. Active stocks, including ship pings, equipments and the more prominent war issues, were down one to three and a half points.
 Trading during the morning was marked by confusing recoveries and declines. Railroads, shippings and industrials made further reversals in the first hour, but the list strengthen ed later on encouraging reports re- garding the Russian situation. Ral- lies ranged fro>.1 one to two points among leaders and as much as four points in srecialties. Another set back occurred at noon on renewed weakness of Canadian Pacific at 130k.
 Liberty As sold at 99.94 to 99.80 and the 31s s at 99.30 to 99.26.

ACCIDENTS IN
 MACHINE SHOPS
 LESS FREQUENT I
Comparative Statement of Department of Labor
 Bureau.

During the past few years there has been widespread interest in the sub- ject of industrial accidents and their prevention, and important safety campaigns have been carried on by many employers and by many private and public organizations. No doubt these efforts have been successful in reducing the huge toll of death and suffering which modern industry lev ies upon its workers. But the effec- tiveness of all such efforts has. been seriously handicapped by the general lack of information regarding the prevalence, causes and effects of ac- cidents in the industries of the coun- try.
 A recent report Bulletin 216) of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. S. Department of Labor entitled. Accidents and accident prevention in machine building supplies this detail- ed information for large group of plants engaged in the building of diff ferent kinds of machines. The char acter of the machines built by these plants varied greatly, from mammoth locomotives and ships to delicate elec- trical apparatus, but it is of interest to note that they are all of a type for which the war has made enor. nous demands. Therefore, although the present study was made prior to the war, theinformation regarding &C., cident hazards in the industry Is now of particular pertinence.
 A notable feature of the report is the measurement of accidents accord ing to their severity. Previous studies have been chiefly concerned with the frequency of accident occurrence, and have counted all accidents as of the same value. A broken finger and a broken back have been counted alike in computing accident rates, although clearly the latter is immeasurably more serious. The method offered in this report is to measure each &C., amount of time lost. To do this it is necessary, of course, to express fatal and permanent injuries as we'll as temporary disabilities, in terms of work days lost. This is done by val uing a fatal injury, on the basis of life insurance experience, as equiva- lent to the loss of 30 years of a mans working life, while total permanent ] disa bility was rated at 35 years. Other injuries are credited with lower time losses in proportion to their probable effect upon earning capacity.
 Applying this method to the acci- dent data for the machine building industry some very Interesting results are obtained. Thus, in the 194 plants covered by the investigation the num-
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-11-13

Der of accidents occurring in 1912 was 13,647, resulting in 37 deaths, All permanent injuries, and 13,199 tenn porary disabilities. This is equiva- lent to an accident frequency rate of 11s per 1000 full-time lsoo-day) workers and a severity rate of 5.S days lost per worker. These rates may be contrasted with the experience of a representative steel plant during the same year, for which the fre- ,quency rate was 154 and the severity rate IA days lost Accidents in the steel plant were thus only about one third more frequent than in machine building but their severity was 2 Ia times as great.
 The accident hazards of the ma chine-bui1ding plants vary greatly with the character of their products. Those engaged in the making of loco motives have the highest severity rate-11 days lost per worker-and the builders of ships have the next highest-S days lost per worker.
 Classifying the combined plants by departmental divisions, boiler shops and yard labor show by far the great est hazards. Boiler shops have a fre- quency rate of PA cases per 1, 1000 full time (300-day) workers and severity rate of 27 days lost per 300-day worker, while yard labor has fre- quency rate of 221 and severity rate of 29 days lost. The high rates of the boiler shops are, primarily, the result of insecure trestles and scaf- folding. For the excessive rates in the yard department responsibility rests upon the general neglect of safe location and construction of the trans- portation systems of many plants
 coupled with lack of safety precau- tions and instruction.
 One of the fundamental inquiries in a study of this character is whether or not accidents are decreasing. A precise answer is difficult, because of the fact that very few plants had re- liable accident records over a period of years. For one group of plants for which such information was obtain able for the years 1910 to 1913 the frequency rate shows no decrease, but the severity rate, after running as high as 6 days in 1910, 8 days in 1911, and days in 1912, drops to 8 days in 1913 This decreased may re- fleet the more thorough safety or lganization effected in some of these plants in 1912. The fact that the frequency rate shows no decline if Ecertainly due to the more complete 1 reporting of minor accidents in the
 later years.
 A striking method of showing ths
 effect of a good safety system in acci- dent prevention is to compare the &C., cident rates in plants having with those in plants not having, wefI-or-
 ganized systems. This is done for three important groups of plants, In every case the plants not having a
 good safety organization show acci-
 dent frequency rates three or four 1 times as high as those having a well developed system.
 The report presents a very careful study of the very important subject of accident causes. For the industry as a whole failing objects stands out as the most frequent cause of ac- cidents, the frequency rate being IA cases per 1000 300-day workers. As measured by severity. "cranes and hoists" assumes first place, the sever . ity rate varying from ls2 te 2s days

SUPREME COURT JUSTICE BRANDEIS

Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeis of the United States Supreme Court will receive the congratulations of his col leagues today, this being his sixty first birthday. The former Hattorney for the. people, was appointed a. mem- ber of the republics highest tribunal by President Wilson early in 1916. Justice Brandeis is the first Jew to serve on the American supreme bench. and his nomination, coming not long after the elevation of the Jewish Lord Reading to the post of. Lord Chief Justice of England af- forded another indication of the pass ing of the age-old prejudice against Hebrews.
 Justice Brandeis was born in Louis vile, Ky. on Nov. 13, 1858. He was sducated in the public and private schools of the Kentucky metropolis, and, from all accounts. was just nor- maj, happy American boy. At the age of sixteen Louis was sent to Ger many to study at the Anpen Real |schule at Dresden.S<, He remained there two years, and then returned to America and took the law course at Harvard. receiving his ILL. B. in 1877. After practicing two or three years in St. Louis he transferred his legal activities to Boston, and Was one of the leading barrfsters of that city up to his appointment to the Supreme Court, Early in his carerr he made Q compact with his wife that. when they had saved enough money to en- able them to live comfortably, he should give his service free of charge tc& causes that seemed likely to ad- vance the cause of humanity. That compact was fully lived up to, and. in consequence, he gained an interna- tfona1 reputation as the Lawyer for the people," Cheaper gas for Boston fans, shorter working hours for wom- on. lower freight rates for shippers, and dozens of other popular causes have enlisted his aid.

 In discussing the question of safety in the machine-building industry it is important to remember that that in dustry not only uses machinery which needs to be safeguarded, but that it's work consists of the production of machines for use in other industries. 0he extent to which the machines thus manufactured will later be a source of danger to the workers in those other industries depends in considerable measure upon the char acter of their original construction. 0he subject of machine design-of building a machine in such way as to offer the minimum of hazard to it's future operators-thus becomes of very great significance. This subject is covered in considerable detail in the report.
