"SAFETY FIRST" ADVISED
IN RIDING IN ELEVATORS
Inspector in District Gives Some
Ways in Which Accidents May
Be Avoided.

Exercise "safety-frst" principles in
using elevators.
This is the gist of an admonition con-
tanned In a statement from William /.
Evans. inspector of elevators for the
District. Crowding Of stores and other
places of business during the holiday
season renders caution doubIy neces-
sary. The inspector endeavors to point
some ways by which accidents may be
avoided, as follows:
Most of the accidents Of Christmas
time can be prevented very easily by
the exercise of little thought and
without the sacrifice of anything that
really counts.
"A close cooperation between the
| public and elevator operators is the
one sure way to obtain quick, safe and
| efficient service.
/ Don't stand too close to the front
| or the elevator while it is in motion.
Always face the front while going UP
or down.
Don't enter or leave the car until
THE operator has brought the same to
a full stop.
| Rising on the ball of the foot at the
moment the elevator begins to descend
lwfli relieve the sickening sensation SO
often experienced.
/ Don't feel offended at the operator
lif he closes the elevator door and
ileaves you standing outside. because
The would only do SO after he had all
1.-THE passengers allowed by law"

Knitting Women

/ always liked to talk with girls,
both married and unwed, for they
were quick to note the pearls OF
wisdom that | shed. And if | told
an anecdote, full of amusing
chaff, there'd come from every fe-
male throat the gladdest sort of
laugh. Anon, I'd read a sonnet
fine that | had lately writ, and
women liked this stunt of mine
so we'll they'd throw a fit. But
now | tell my yarns in vain, in
vain recite my PONIES; the girls
have knitting on the brain, in all
our native homes. They're knit
ting, knitting, all the day, and
when I spring my spiel, l hear
some busy woman say, This sock
is mostly heel" To entertain the
knitting danes, I quote an epic
rich, and, interupting, one ex-
claims. Gee whiz! I've dropped
stitch!' | tell of springs OF an
cient lore, from which I've often
drunk, and says the woman by the
door, This yarns extremely
punk" The idle things of idle
times have gone their divers
ways; who cares boot for quips
or rhymes, in these fierce wartime
dayso In vain the tall stuffed
prophet stands, with skill to
charm the birds; the girls have
knitting in their hands, and have
no time for words.

ACCIDENTS ARE CAUSED
BY SLIPPERY STREETS

Skid chains have been in great de-
msnd this week. Snow on the asphalt
pavesnents has been so closely packed

members of Safety First Association
who think the traffic laws should con-
tain clause requiring the use of
chains when the streets are wet or
covered with ice snow. Enforcement
of such regulation, it is urged. would
be the means of preventing accidents
and possibly prevent the taking of hu-
man life. 'YVsTs
