CASUALTIES OF OF PEACE

Last year 80 900 we're FILLED and
25o,6o0 were seriously injured by
accidents in the United States. That
is about equal to our; casualties in
two years of war It Seems incred-
IDLE, yet there, is ne denying the
facts. The statistics are carefully
compiled, by the National Safety
Council. If the victories of peace
are no less renowned thar those of
war we arc learning; that the casual
ties OF peace are no less numerous
than those Of war. It. SEEMS to be
largely Unnecessary. Whrre safety
precautions have been adopted there
has been great falling of in acct
dents of all kinds. Csrelessness
lies at the basis of most accidents,
not gross carelessness necessarily,
but often merely lack of fo-ethought,
failure to take prudent precautions.
The work of the National Safety
Council is to instill into the workers
of the country-for the o7erwhelr-
ing majorities of accidents are in
dustrial-the spirit of BENZ cautious
about everything, also to see that
approved safety appliances are: in
stalled wherever work is done.
Nothing can take the place of the
personal factor. If :ccid@rts are to
be diminished it must Be through
individual men and women taking
more pains to prevent them.
The figures above should prove
interesting to the thousands of me-
chanics and others employed in
Alexandria at present.

WONDERS OF THE AGE

At the beginning of TIRE last CEN

years there was practically no pro-

past hundred years! If human pro-

the record, when reviewed, is so
wonderful that it bewilders the

UAWRITTEN WAR HISTORY

Many interesting incidents occur III
all wars which fail to get into his
tory. About twenty years ago a
history of Virginia-supposed to
have been compiled from southern
standpoint embracing a history Of
the civil war, especially The part
played by Virginians in the Old Do
! minion-appeared. An attempt was
~ade to have the book adopted by
the public schcolc}sf Alexandria, but
it vas found that no refeceEce what
ever was made in the book to the
capture Of Alexandria by the federal
troops May "a, 1861, nor &c the dual
tragedy at the Marss all House
when James Jackson arr Colonel
Ells1aath were killed.
Early in the sRmme, of 1861,
shortly after the federal troops aad
occupied Alexandria, the steamer st,
Nicholas, which ran on the route
between Baltimore and Alexandria,
left the former port. y nong her
passengers was what w: 5 supposed
to have been French lady, lavish
" dressed and adorned viii powder
and rouge. When the 81. Nicholas
stopped at Point Looko; about a
dozen strange men We aboard.
Shortly after the steamn. left the
wharf the supposed F:.:ch lady
had undergone TRANSITION and in
stead Of being of the feHiil,ine per-
suasion, it developed that '.ie individ-
ual was colonel of the (, tifaderate

A plan had been for','r'ated to

LOOK FOR DROP IN PRICES

In the course of a little while we
may expect check in the upward
move Of prices and perhaps a drop
| in prices. So says the Harvard
University Committee Of Economic
Research, but unfortunately the
nperhaps' sticks out of the sea OF
words with the persistence and the
prominence of sore finger. This
Harvard body is probably the most
distinguished organization of the
many that have been trying to solve
the high cost of living, and it may
be said that the sole'nnity with
which it has gone about the business
is fully reflected in its present re-
port. It's conclusions are based upon
statistics. These SHOW that the
farmers will continue to prosper in
1920, and that their prosperity will
make others equally so, ard that
presently we may expect Q slight re-
cession in prices. But, the learned
gentlemen are careful to say, it
would soc premature to conclude
that a violent drop IT. commodity
prices is probable. /"
As the Philadelphia Record says,
it scarcely needed the warning of
these eminent 'statisticiars to make
the average citizen skert;cal about
the probability of any immediate
improvement in economic conditions,
The day is bound to come when there
will be "check in the upward
move,' but when it comes it will be
the result of natural causes. Chas.
NJ. Schwab puts the Who'll, problem
in simple, understandable language
when he says that the only way to
decrease the cost of living IS fer ev-
crybody to get together ard "get to
work" He says that ordinarily the
world each year consumes large
part of what it produces, and besides
this saves substantial amount
which serves as the basis fcr great
er productivity in future years.
But during the period o: the war
the world has consumed practically
everything it produced, wish the re-
suit that today shelves arr oare in
every store, and there is Mt enough
eff any Of the necessities OF life to go
around"
Thus the solution lies wtcid omb
Thus the solution of til problem
lies in the hands Of the people.
When more steel is Manufactured,
when more food is preduce;l, when
more clothes are made thee will in
evitably be a reduction in prices to
the consumer. The only way to
bring this about is to "get to work
and when all, or nearly all, OF the
people do this we may confidently
look for that drop in pTices-and
without the tantalizing word "per-
haps" to spoil the prospect.
