Hats are the funniest thing in the
World. That is the conclusion reached
py DR.. c. w. kimmins OF London
University, who has spent a lifetime
in research to discover Just what a
sense Of humor is and how 1t differs
in different nations.
Appreciation Of a humorous situa.
ton varies widely, DR.. kimmins finds:
the Australian aborgine will groan at
most things Englishmen fnd funny,
and vice versa. But hats never fail.
A small hat on a giant man. or q little
man half smothered In a derby. will
bring the same loud laugh in Harlem,

MORE CHILDREN ARE
KILLED AT Home
THAN ON STREETS

More. children meet death from ac-
cident when they are safe at home"
than when they are on the streets.
Street accidents are decreasing but
home accidents are increasing.
These findings of the Baltimore
Safety council have caused a vigorous
local campaign to be started to make
the home safe for the child"
1t is easy for adults to be careful
as careless at home, as evidenced by a
series of suggestions at to obvious
precautions:
Do not leave matches where chill
dren can get them.
Do not leave children unattended in
rooms where htere is an open fire or
where open receptacIes contain hot
liquids.
Use care in handling boiling water.
Avoid leaving poisons in accessible
places or innocent looking bottles such
as contain household ammonia within
easy reach.
See that poisons are in bottles of
such individuality that they can be
identified instantly, even in the dark.
Be careful of loose rugs on smooth
floors.
Do not let children's toys be scat
tered about the floor or left on stairs
See that stairways are sufficiently
Illuminated, that cellars are not dark
and that children are taught to hold
.handrails and not to romp on steps
Do not leave fiowerpots or milk
bottles on window stills.
Don't use a chair to Elk" the lights;
get ladder.
Don't throw matches in waste bas-
kets or from windows.
1--WE are able to carry on our cam
paign among children in the schools
explains an officer of the safety coun-
Gil, "but it is much more difficult for
us to reach parents and make them
understand that safety is an important
factor and requires as much thought
at home as on the street.
