TRAFFIC HITS OLD
MEN AND BABIES
3,483 Accidental Deaths in
New York, However, Show
Decrease.
AUTO VICTIMS NUMEROUS
Falls Kill 6S4 Persons, Says
Health Report for Year
of 1921.
AUTO VICTIMS NUMEROUS
- By the Associated Press.

By the Associat ted Press.
NEW YORK, August 12.-Babies
who were too young to realize dam
ger, and old men who couldn't move
quickly enough to avoid it, sweiled
the total of accidental deaths to S.4S3
in New York city last year, health
department reports reveal. This rep
resents decrease of 400 from the
accidental deaths of 1919.
Only 9S7 of the victims were fe-
males. while 2,496 We're males. Even
among infants the death rate for
males was by far the higher, prob
ably, according to the health oihce,
because boy babies often come to
grief through inquisitiveness and a
natural tendency to seek adventure.
Auto Chief Slayer.
THE most important cause of acci-
dental death from a numerical stand
point is the automobile" the report
continues Last year S49 persons
were killed in this city as the result
of automobile accidents. This is
> equivalent to ratio of almost 10 per
100000 of population and represents
net increase of one per 100 since
1919.
We must not lose sight. however.
of the fact that the number of fatal
street accidents has not kept pace
with the increase i'll the number of
vehicles using the streets. If the
same ratio between accidents and We
hicles obtained today as in previous
years the fatalities would be many
times greater, so that in reality a
big saving in life has been effected
through regulation of traffic and the
closing of streets for play during GER
tain hours of the day"
6S4 Die in Falls.
Almost IL persons per 10000
numbering 6S4-died in falls, says the
report-103 from scafTolds and build
ings and 13S from fire escapes and
windows.
Certainly this was a needless loss
of life" says the health department.
almost one third of these deaths oc-
CURED among children under five
years of age-in other words. among
little children who were allowed to
go out on fire escapes or to lean out
of windows.
Surely this indicates gross negli-
gence and calls for active propa-
ganda to educate parents not to per-
init little children to engage in such
hazardous forms of play"

Uncle Teds Bed Time Stories
PRESIDENTS ACTION FOR
GOOD OF NATION

1t was plain to be seen by those
who had watched Uncle Ted for the
past few days that he was as lost as
if he were in the middle Of the Sa-
hara Desert. This time the ia
bles were turned and Uncle Ted
was left all alone. Jack and Ruth had
gone away with thier mother on a
visit and the result was that Uncle
Ted discovered that he missed tell
ing the stories to his little friends
as much as they seemed to miss him
when he was forced to be away
II can't get used to these kiddies
being away" said Uncle Ted to one
of the neighbors. They've only
been gone few days and it seems
like years. I promised them a story
just the same so | guess you'll have
to excuse me while go in and write
to them"
Uncle Ted soon had his typewriter
and paper ready and sailed forth in
to the land of bedtime stories.
"My dearest kiddies:" he began.
~ cannot begin to tell you how lone
some it is around this house without
you. If you miss your Uncle Ted
this much when he is away, then
am going to try to stay home all the
time and never go away, except when
l absolutely have to. I promised you
story and here it goes.
There are two things that inter

bout it that l feel something more
will not be amiss. There seems to

Bureau of Engraving and Printing
employees was due to charges of dis
honesty. President Harding, from
the start made it plain that they

When Fear Makes
Animals Perform

Worcester Telegram: The Jack
London league is an organization OPP
posed~to training animals for pubic
appearances. It's members are pledg-
ed to walk out of any amusement
place when an animal act is started.
Whatever doubts there may be of the
need of such an organization are les
sened by recent incident in Madison
Square Garden. Five tigers and a
panther were being put through their
tricks for the first time before a
crowd. It was evident the animals
were acting against their will. The
panther became unruly. The trainer,
a girl, finally brought down pole on
the beasts head with resounding
whack. This was not enough, and so
she drew a revolver, fired in the pam
Tiers face and brought him in line.
Naturally she also brought down the
house.
The animal trainer always has cour-
age when the animals are dangerous.
Sometimes the only advantage he has
over his charges is his superior will.
But it is will power put to poor use.
While some animals, such as dogs and
horses, often seem to enjoy their part
Of the show, it is easy to see that
many of them act solely through fear.
If there is any reason why we should
be kind to animals, there is no reason
why we should tolerate some OF the
performances that we do.

Evens Things Up

Two friends from a small town,
one of who had tendencies toward ex-
aggeration, were starting for visit
to the city. Joe, who knew the others
failing, cautioned him in advance.
"Bill," he said, Il know you're a
plumb truthful teller and all that.
And / sure like to hear you tell it to
'em. But, by gosh, sometimes you're
leetle too optimistic. Why, some
folks might think you were telling
plain lies. Now, when we get to the
city and you sget sort of stretchin'
things, I'll nudge you with my foot
and you try to ease off a mite"
On arriving they fell in with city
acquaintance who led them down to
view the newest skyscraper. Bill
couldn't let such an opportunity slip.
"Well enough" he said, but,
gents, back in my town we're putting
up a building that'll make this one
look like the under side Of a snakes
tummy. Why, if you'll believe me, it's
goin' to be seventy-one stories high,
three quarters of mile long, and"
here he felt his friends foot-'and
eight feet wide"
