never wonder what they will think. We
know that they will never think any

they do not understand they will trust
out of the unguarded hour of conf

gold and let forgetfulness carry away

ACCIDENTS EQUAL WAR.

Last year SO, 900 were killed and 250, 900
were seriously injured by accidents in the
United States. That is about equal TO
our casualties in two years of war. 1t
seems incredible, yet there is no denying
the facts. The statistics are carefully
compiled by the National Safety Council
nowned than those of war, we are learning
that the casualties of peace are no less
numerous than those of war. IL seems
to be largely unnecessary. Where safety
precautions have been adopted there
has been great falling of in accidents of
all kinds. Carelessness lies at the basis
OF most accidents, not gross carelessness
necessarily, but often merely lack of fore
thought, failure to take prudent precau-
tions.
The work of the National Safety Coun-
Gil Is to lnstll into the workers of the coun-
try, for the overwh Ginning majority OF
accidents are industrial, the spirit of being
cautious about everything, also TO see that
approved safety appliances are installed
wherever work is done Nothing can
take the place of the personal factor. If
accidents are to be diminished it must be
through individual men and women taking
more pains to prevent them. To the use
of liquor even In moderate quantity, much
has been charged in the causing of acci-
dents. At,the end of another year, as
suming reasonable success in enforcing
we should be better able to

death and injury has been properly charg-
