FR.C.:FORBES ! Gan any thine pe
 done, is anything being don to reduce
 this shocking record!
 Eugene c. Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, has made this announcement to all employees:
 'sIn the course of the past eight years the number of Bethlehem accidents Tn proportion to the number or employes has been reduced by 10 per cent. However, the accidents that still oc- cur in our plants from day to day are witness to the fact that we have room for improvement.
 s'One of Bethlehem's big jobs is to , reduce still further the number of ac- cidents to the men in the steel plants, sbipyards and mines Accidents are undoubtedly the largest single item or avoidable waste of manufacturing costs.
 Accident prevention work pays three-fold returns; there is return to the employer in lower costs; re- turn to the employe in the physical and monetary saving: and return to the '. community through lessening ot care for the maimed and disabled. Any ot r these iustifies the furtherence of the work, but taken in the aggregate they constitute one of the most important blanks in the platform of good busl- : ness.
 Think of it. One out of every twen- : ty persons at work in the United States last year met with serious accident.
 These accidents caused loss of 2Z1 million working days. Figured at $4.50 a day the loss in wages alone reached $1,022, 100000.
 Although. compared with the whole country, BethIehem's fatal accidents in it's steel plants and mines were IF per :. cent below the average and Ill shipbuild- . ing yards 71 per cent below the aver Y age for the country, nevertheless, this one company's accidents of all kinds last year caused a total loss ot oS,OOO pay envelopes for two weeks.
 The cost to the company was equal to the dividend on Bethlehem's per cent preferred stock for six months. Expressed differently, the expense amounted to 1% per cent of the com pany's total payroll for the year. { What kind of accidents is most com mon? In this corporations plants more than half of all accidents entailed to injury to hands or feet, most often to the ends of fingers or toes. The fol- lowing table gives the percentage If the Iy;vde ,,f acciIAOts.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The ar

convinced detectives that at last
they were definitely on the trail
of the murderers and thieves who
slew "Dot" King and Louise Law

thefts.
Three With Records.
Three of the prisoners. police said,
have criminal records. One had a
ring similar to the diamond and
platinum one taken from Mrs. Hey
worth, when held up by three men in
her apartment.
Two of the prisoners, police said,
admitted ownership Of a bullet SCARED
automobile.
Under Doctors Care.
Mrs. HeyWorth, still in conceal
ment, was said by friends to be
under a doctors care as a result
Of the shock she suffered when the
three apartment house intruders
forced their way into her home,
and held her up, Alfred Hanan, q
guest, another man described as Mrs
Heyworth's brother, and a woman
whose name was withheld.
A woman friend, who said she
frequently had worn the $500 rims
taken from Mrs Heyworth, identi
fled that found on the one prisoner
positively as the property Of Mrs
Aeyworth.
Mrs. Hayworth created a senea
