ONES EVERYDAY LIFE IS
MARKED BY DANGER
The hazards we face In the
course of an ordinary day in
the peaceful pursuit Of business
and recreation are seldom
thought Of by most men, ac-
cording to an accident insurance
official, with whom l talked not
long ago and who, by the way,
was not trying to sell me an ac-
eident policy.
without taking into consider
alton vocational risks" he said,
"it is amazing how many chances
we run just leading normal
life. Every day man faces loss
of life, physical Impairment or
inability to earn livelihood.
Even in the act of arising in
the morning and in getting into
bed at night serious injuries
have been received by many
through falls on the floor. The
apparently safe operation of TAX
ing bath has proved to be one
of the prolific sources Of Injuries.
Shaving is another dangerous OPP
GRAFTON. The number of serious
cuts has reached great proper
tons. The simple operation of
cutting cOrns has proved to be
dangerous and innumerable in
juries have been due to accidents
while lighting cigars, cigarettes
and pipes.
Chores about the house, both
for men and women, furnish all
kinds of hazards, the statistics
show. Falls from ladders, both
inside and outside the house,
have been numerous, to say moth
ing of apparatus, cuts from lawn
mowers, butcher knives and scis-
sors. burns while cooking and
falls over furniture.
"In the streets the dangers are
even greater. Many are killed
crossing the streets at undesig-
mated points. Falling signs and
snow endanger the lives of pc
destrians."
The number of accidents and
consequent injuries might be
greatly decreased, my informant t.

UP BY POLICE
Stranger Suspected of
Planting Revolver
HAD BIG ROLL OF BILLS
Related Two Different Stories Of
Himself; An Early Day .
Shooting

Regarded as a suspicious character
who was in the act oil getting two
revolvers which he and a pal had
planted" in some rubbish to the rear
OF the Ohsman and Sons company,
512 North Front street, earlier in the
evening was picked up by Officers
Volk and Bell about nine o'clock last
ped off to the police that two men
were seen to bury a bag beneath
some rubbish early in the evening,
and Officer Bell investigated and
found a thirty eight calibre liver John :
son and q thirty eight calibre Har-
rington & Richards revolver together
with a quantity of shells secreted in
a canvas bag. These were taken to
the police station, AID the two offic-
ers mentioned concealed themselves
nearby the cache, and 1t was not long
search for the guns, He was placed
under arrest at the point OF pistols
of the police and brought to the po-
lice station.
Found Roll OF Bills.
There upon searching him it was
found that he had in his possession
$3.50 in bills. At first he said that he
had earned the money by gambling,
and later stated that he had just re-
turned from the harvest fields OF
Kansas, where he earned the money.
He gave his name as William Jones,
and said that he met a stranger here
yesterday who owned an automobile.
He and that man, whose name he pro-
fessed not to know, Jones admitted
he had been to the rear of the bust
ness place mentioned earlier in the
evening, but he denied any knowledge
of the guns. They are formidable
looking weapons, and were loaded
when found. X
Shooting Early Today.
What is thought to have some con-
nection with the case is the fact that
people living in the vicinity OF the
German Lutheran Parochial school,
corner of North Broad and Washing
slumbers this morning at $3.50 o'clock
by the firing of six shots from heavy
calibre pistol or revolver. People who
rushed to their windows state that a
man In a Buick car was driving north
along Broad street as fast as the car
wheels would turn, and every once in

fore coming here.

was fined $50 and ordered out of

sir Thomas -Sma' tt and Minister OF
Defense Col II. Mentz.
Heavy Program.
There is an unusually heavy pro-
gram; the chief subjects which are
as follows:
One. The renewal of the An
glo- japanese treaty.
Two. Relation of the Domin-
ions to Imperial foreign policy.
Three. Relation of the Empire
as whole to external affairs.
Four. Preparations for a flu
tuTe Imperial conference, to con-
sider the constitutional relations
OF the Empire.
The relations of the United King
dem with Japan will be a subject of
some delicacy when the question of
the renewal of the Anglo Japanese
treat comes up. Australia talks
freely of the japanese menace as
England used to talk of the German
menace. She thinks that Japan took
advantage OF the pre- occupations of
europe to consolidate her own posi-
ton, and the acquisition by that
power of tie possessions of Germany
in the Northern Pacific has made
her a nearer neighbor. Canada has
her own Japanese problem on the
Pacific coast which win be expound-
ed by Premier Meighen.
Claim of The Dominion.
The claim of the Dominions to
AN ADEQUATE voice in foreign policy
and in foreign relations" is likely to
be not only conceded but welcomed
by the home government. The pub
lies OF the Empire will see in it
some measure of safeguard against
the dangers of secret diplomacy and
aggressive international combina-
tons. AS autonomous nations, the
Dominions are no longer DESTROYS
of the Empires foreign policy being
moulded to suit the taste of Downing
Sereet alone. For this reason it is
probable that proposals will be put
forward for removing relations with
the Dominions from the sphere of
the Colonial Office.
