shows that the experience las left Its
imprint upon him. although ] can tell

the Wednesday following that con-
yinced me that some one was not play
ina q bunco game on me. Hc headed

wife was going to Los Angeles, where
she intended to enter the movies. She
was formrly Gladys Carr and has been
on the stage for a short time
The father showed signs Of worry.
II didn't realize the strain until the

Makiho the Hammer Safer.

The hammer is useful tool, but its use is not quite free from danger to the user or from injury to materials. The flat, highly polished surface is likely to glance off the nail unless the blow is sQuarely delivered; and when the nail is of cast metal, its head often flies off and inflfcts quite severe injuries.
 One firm had innumerable1aecidents from this cause, and some ofthe men were permanently injured Thereupon, the managers tried hammer heads with scored faces as an experiment, and owing to the success of the experi- ment the polished faced hammer has been abolished in that firms factory, except for special classes of work.
 When the hammers face is scored or roughened 1t is very much less likely to glance off the nail head. The fa6 that this type of hammer has proved so conspicuously successful and safe, has encouraged many manufac- turers to place 1t on the market.
