When he was asked to join the board of directors he consented, it was stated, Ion the understanding that he would be no mere figurehead, but would take his full share of the work as well as the responsibility attached to the of flee"
 He is likely to have plently to do. The Distiller's company iy planning to increase greatly its whiskey output, both in Ireland as we'll as Scotland. It has acquIed half the shares of the United Distilleries of Belfast and ex- poets to acquire the entire concern.

BABES AND OLD MEN Z HEAD DEATH LIST
9NeW York City's Statistics Show 7 That Young and Aged Are Killed

~ New York, Aug. l2,--Bahies who were too young to realize danger, and -old men who couldn't move quickly enough to avoid, it. swelled the tota! of accidental deaths 10 BASS in New York city last year, health depavt- ment reports reveal This represents q decrease Of 400 from the accidental deaths Of l9l9
 Only aS1 Of the victims were fe- males, while s,ia6 were males, Even among infants the death rate for males was by far the higher, prob ;ably, according to the health office, because boy babies often come to grief through inquisitiveness and a natural tendency 10 seek adventure, Autos Lead.
 The most important cause of ac- .cidental death from a numerical standpoint Is the automobile" he re- port continues. Last year s49 per sons were killed in this city as the result of automobile accidents. This Is equivalent 10 a ratio of almost IS per 100000 of population and repre- sents a net increase of one per 100 since 1912
 We must not lose sight however of the fact that the number of fatal street accidents has not kept pace with the increase in the number of vehicles using the streets If the same ratio between accidents and ve- 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 certain hours of the day"
 Deaths From Falls.
 Almost 9 persons per 1oo.ooo- numbering 6s4-died in falls. says the report: 103 from scaffolds 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. Tn 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 propaganda to educate parents not to permit lit- tie tots to engage in such hazardous forms of play"
