Five Thousand Riddles Killed and Hundred Thousand
Injured During This Summer.

NEW YORK.-Judging from reliable
statistics Of previous years, approx
mately 5000 children will be killed and
100000 more injured in accidents dur
ing the summer vacation period
throughout the United States unless
parents and guardians give greater
attention this summer TO the safety OF
their charges. This warning comes
from the Safety Institute Of America,
with headquarters in this city.
Before July /. the Institute points
out, something like 100000 children
were thrown on their own devices for
amusement by the closing Of public
and private schools. The accident haz.
ards conforming children throughout
the year as a whole will then be multi
piled many times by longer hours Of
play by the summer increase in auto
mobile traffic, and by the lapse Of
school room discipline.
The principal causes OF accidental
death among children. the Institute
says. are fire. drowning, and the auto.
mobile. The child of about seven years
of age is In the greatest danger OF be.
coming the victim OF fatal accident
because that seems 10 be the age at
which mothers begin to permit children
to take care OF themselves.
In an effort to stem the usual sum
mer tide OF violent deaths among young
| people the Institute has issued list
/ of Vacation Dos and Don'ts with the
recommendation that teachers. parents.
and all other persons who have the
opportunity to reach large groups of
children. pass them on to the children.
The list follows:

STRIKES COST
NATION PRETTY
penny YEARLY
Sixty-six Millions Spent in
Walk-outs Each Year;
Figures Based on Labor
Department Estimates.

WASHINGTON. Statistics issued
by the Department OF Labor show that
strikes in this country average more
than $500 per year. It is contended by
the department that its figures are ac-
curate. since they depend upon news
paper and trade paper reports for the
most part, but that they are under,
rather than overstatements.
1t is impossible truthfully to esti-
mat the average cost of strike. since
vary so in duration, number of
W, Smen affected and economic loss
thr Ugh whatever industry is wholly
o. PARTIALLY shut down. But IL the
most conservative possible estimate be
adopted, and 1t is considered that tho
average strike affects 100 workmen.
and that the average strike lasts 10
days. the total arrived at is 100000
working days lost per year. If the
average cost to each workman is S.
per days and the average loss to each
industry does not exceed three times
the loss othe workmen, then strikes
cost this country some 100000 900 a
vecs.
II Is not believed that these figures
are anything but suggestive. The aver.
age strike undoubtedly affects thous
ands. rather than hundreds. and for
many more than 10 days: few union
laborers receive as little as So day
and of course. the industry affected
suffers out Of all proportion TO the
workmsn.

LEWIS WETZEL, death WIND
OF THE DELAWARES"

Many Of the great scouts did not
become Indian fighters until they were
men, but Lewis Wetzel started early.
He killed his first Indian when he was
only thirteen years old. Wetzel was
born In Virginia in 1852. His father
moved TO the present site Of Wheeling,
w. Va, and was killed there by the
Indians before the eyes of his sons.
Lewis swore eternal enmity against all
redskins.
One day while he and his brother
were roaming in the woods they were
attacked by Indians. Lewis killed one
of the savages and the next instant
was hit by bullet which carried away
q piece of his breast bone. Both boys
were taken captive. That night while
the Indians slept, Wetzel worked
loose the thongs which bound him and
then unfastened his brother.
After the boys had fled for about
mile they discovered that their moe
cssins were torn TO shreds. Leaving
his brother In hiding, Lewis returned
to the Indian camp and, undetected by
the sleeping. savages, robbed them Of
two pairs Of mOccasins as well as a
gun and some powder and lead.
The next morning the Indians were
hot on their trail and soon were close
upon them. AS the Indians ap-
preached, the boys stepped out of the
trail into clump of bushes, allowing
sI.g 70 Of nh than
they followed. Soon they heard the
Indians coming back and again they
stepped into the bushes and hid The
Wetzel boys played this dangerous
game of hide-au,i-seek several times
before they finally eluded the savages
and returned N safety to their home.
When lewis Wetzel grew older he
crossed over into Ohio and soon be-
came one of the best-knOwn scouts In
the country.
Wetzel was called 1.-The Death
Wind" by the Delawares whom he
hated particularly. More than once a
Delaware warrior trembled with fear
as he heard shrill, moaning cry echo
ing through the forest. for II usually
was followed soon afterward by shot
from the scouts deadly weapon which
ended the redskins life.
In his later years Wetzel lost the
respect Of many people because he be-
gan killing all Indians he met. whether
hostile or friendly, and several times
he was imprisoned for shooting men,
bers Of peacesble tribes. In his last
days he became a lonely, bitter old
man until death came to him in 1903.
