lack of safety precautions and instruc-
tions.
One of the fundamental inquiries in a
study of this character is whether or not
accidents are decreasing. A precise an
swer is difficult, because of the fact that
very few plants had reliable accident
records over a period of years. For one
group of plants for which such informa :
tion was obtainable for the years 1910
to 1913 the frequency rate shows no de-
crease, but the severity rate, after run
ming as high as six days in 1910, eight
days in 1911 and seven days in 1912,
drops to three days in 1913. This de-
crease may reflect the more thorough
safety organization effected in some of
these plants in 1912. The fact that the
frequency rate shows no decline is GER
tainly due to the more complete report
ing of minor accidents in the later years
A striking method of showing the eff
feet of good safety system in accident
prevention is to compare the accident
rates in plants having, with those in
plants not having, well organized sys-
tens. This is done for three important
groups of plants. In every case the
plants not having a good safety organ
ization show accident frequency rates
three or four times as high as those hav
ing well developed system.
The report presents very careful
study of the very important subject of
accident causes. For the industry as a
whole falling objects" stands out as the
most frequent cause of accidents, the fire.

the severity rate varying from LIZ to %
days lost per 300-day worker ip different
groups of plants.
In discussing the question OF safety
in the machine building industry it Is i'm
portant to remember that that industry
not only uses machinery which needs TO
be safeguarded, but that its work con
sists of the production Of machines for
use in other industries. The 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. The
subject of machine design OF building
machine in such way as to offer the |
minimum OF hazard to its future opera |
Lors-thus becomes of very great signi- |
fcance This subject is covered in con.
siderable detail in the report.

Remarks About Things

Hogs have actually reached Is
cents q pound. This, We must admit,
is lairly good price, even though
corn is $2.l0 hundred.
On such occasions some people be-
wall themselves, that the farmer is
making too much money, forgetting
the fact that everything the farmer
uses has advanced in price likewise
Certain farm implements which on
ly q short time ago cost $65, now
are quoted at $50. Other things are
in proportion.
The other day, as We were on the
road, we heard sound as OF many
teams running away. AS the sound
approached We saw 1t was only a
coal wagon hooked on behind an au-
tomobile and rafting right merrily
over the high places in the road
bed.
We thonght then that that was
the limit. But few days later we
met an automobile with a buck-rake
fastened on behind. Truly. the auto
mobile, to the farmer. is becoming
an implement OF utility.
Some of the seed men are offer
ing 56k cents per pound for Gu
cumber seed. As the price hereto
fore has been about 10 cents, 1t
looks as though the growing OF Gu
cumber seed ought to receive a

Rural Church Problem

Considerable space Is being used
in the public press. and many
speeches are being made nowadays
on the various phases of the subject
of the farmer and the church. Much
OF the matter written Is good. but
there is also considerable matter
that is pure bunc. written. apparent
~. by men who know nothing what
ever about rural needs and condi-
tions. But the phase OF the ques-
tion to which our attention is at
tracted, is tina, II appears to some
writers as an entirely new and un-
explored field OF religious effort;
something In the same light as India
or China, or other heather countries.
As a matter OF fact. the strongest
and staunohest supporters OF the
tenets of Christianity and OF obe-
dience thereto are found In the rural
districts. and this has been true ev-
er since the angel appeared To the
shepherds by night. and brought to
them the tidings OF peace. good
