10000 BLINDED
BY WORK IN
j. s.
National Committee Finds No
Industry Can Be Called
Non-Hazardous
By international News service


NEW YORK, July 27.--There is
no such thing as a non hazardous
industry.
This is the conclusion of the
ton of Blindness, as indicated in
the report Of an extensive study of
eye hazards in industrial occupa-
tons issued here today
The report declares that "of the
100000 blind persons in the United
States approximately $4,000 are the
industrial blind-pcrsons who have
lost their sight in4the pursuit of in
dustrial occupations--and there is
in addition to the totally blind a
much larger number Of men, women
and children whose vision has been
so impaired by the eye hazards of
industry that they are handicapped
throughout life.
There is hardly an industrial oc-
cupation in America, according to
the committee, which does not add
each year to the steadily increasing
number of the blind and the near
blind.
The committee found that al.
though from a national point of
view the metal manufacturing In
dustries are the source of the great
est number Of serious eye injuries,
IN Pennsylvania the coal mining In
dustry ranks first as cause of in
dustrial blindness.
In Wisconsin 1t was found that
hand tools constitute by far the
greatest single cause of eye injuries,
being responsible for A per cent.

piped Quickear. II was out on the

that way. Goodness, but he made a
noise, worse than Fourth of July back

There's quite a remarkable story
about Mr. Hoopoe," said Cheerups
hastily, trying to change the subject.
1t made him little homesick to think
of the Fourth Of July, and he saw a
tear In Softfoot's eye
well, in Arabia, which Is country
lying beyond the Desert of Sahara and
the Red sea, far away from our jungle,
the people have legend about Mr..
Hoopoe and King Solomon, who lived
long, long ago. Once when King Solo,
mon was travelling through the desert
for other lands have deserts, too,
you know-he grew very faint from
the hot rays of big bright Mr.. Sun.
Then flock Of Hoopoes came and
formed screen just above his head
to protect him. King Solomon was so
delighted and thought it was so kind
of the Hoopoes that he asked what
he could do for them as a reward.
What do you suppose the foolish
things asked for? Why, crowns Of
gold upon their heads! OF course, the
king granted their request and they
were very happy and proud Of them
selves for while, looking into all the
pools and even the dewdrops to catch
their reflections. But soon men be-
gan to trap them and hunt them to
get their golden crowns. The Hoopoes
were most dreadfully frightened then,
and some of them went back to King
Solomon and begged that he would
take away the horrid crowns. The
kind king listened to their troubles,
of course, and gave them crowns of
feathers instead Of their golden ones.
Ever since then these birds have worn
brown crests with white and black
tips. Didn't you notice Mr.. Hoopoe's

WOMEN AS AUTO DRIVERS

| KIPLING says that the female of
the species is more deadly than
the male. Naturally, he has been wide
ly criticized for the statement from
all sides, especially by women and
women's organizations. Biologically,
it is probably true In the animal
world, as rule, it is true that the
female is the harder worker and the
more aggressive as well as the most
important member Of the family.
But what about human society?
Does the woman continue to be the
stronger and the more aggressive? In
some savage tribes this is certainly
true
In civilization, does woman continue
to be the more dangerous of the two?
Not as far as safety is concerned, at
least
A recent article in the National
Safety News apparently sustains this
contention. Policemen, officials of au-
tomobile associations and of local safe
t. councils all agree that the hand
that rocks the cradle may not rule the
world but that it is quite as capable
of steering the automobile as is the
masculine hand.
/ While there is considerable differ
ence of opinion as to whether men or
women are the best automobile driv-
ers, the practically unanimous verdict
of all those in a position to know Is
that women drivers, as a rule, are
more cautious and less apt to disre-
gard traffic regulations or to take
chances involving either their owl
safety or the safety of others.
One fact, at least, seems definitely
of men involved in automobile acct
dents greatly exceeds the number of
women. In Los Angeles, for instance,
in ten months, out Of 100 automobile
accidents, men were responsible for
90 and women for only A. At the
other end of the continent, the Massa-
chusetts Safety council reports that
out of 521 fatal accidents in Massa-
chusetts only Is were caused by
women.
There are, of course, many factors
that might be responsible for this pro-
portion. The chief of police in Flint.
Mich, for instance, says that women
drivers as a rule are more careful
than men but are more apt to lose
their heads and that, in tight place,
man keeps his nerve better and acts
quicker. On the other hand, man
takes more chances and so gets in
more tight places.
The percentage of automobiles to
population is probably higher in De-
troit than anywhere else. Last year,
out of 146 fatal accidents there, wom-
en- were responsible for only 8. The
question is not yet settled but there
is enough evidence to show that out
of the same number of drivers women
have fewer accidents.

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor Of "HEALTH"
DEVELOPING GOOD TEETH

MUCH has been written in recent
AsA years about the need for ex-
amining the teeth of school children
and giving them early treatment. And
that's all right. It's necessary thing
to write about. I've done some of it
myself But there's something still
back of this.
Why should school children have
bad teeth? Why don't they have
strong, sound, well-developed teeth
that don't decay and that don't need
any treatment?
Savage races generally have good
teeth. In young life, at least, the
teeth are hard, clean and free from
either decay or crookedness.
Teeth come in crooked because the
jawbones are too small. They are not
long enough to hold all the teeth. As
the teeth grow out they shove each
other out of line. Then the teeth
press unevenly on each other, spaces
are left between them where food col
lects and decays, the enamel softens
and breaks down and decay follows,
which would not occur If the teeth
were even and equally developed.
What is the cause of short jaws?
Lack of sufficient exercise to develop
them. A child's bones are soft and
only partially developed. If given
plenty of exercise, the jaw muscles
develop and pull the growing bone in
different directions. The upper jaw is
like an arch. Pressure spreads it and
makes the bones larger and so gives
more space for the teeth.
The normal jaw should hold 80
teeth, with plenty of room for them
to grow in. This means 16 above and
16 below. 8 on each side.
But If the jawbOne undeveloped
from lack of exercise, is shorter than
1t should be, then the farthest back
tooth on each side, the so-called wis
dom tooth, because it's the last to
appear, can't come through or only
mains half buried. This is one of the
largest, strongest and most valuable
of the teeth. Yet in many civilized
persons, it is not only of no value but
worse, it is an actual danger.
What's the remedy? For those of
us over sixteen, there is none, except
to make the best of it. We've got to
live all our lives with our second set
of teeth. Wen never get any more.
But for the child the remedy is ex-
ercise And the only way the teeth
get exercise is by chewing. Chewing
on something hard.
So see that your children get hard
dry things to chew on. They'll thank
you for it later on.

fox's tail !" at the same time giving
vent to cries of peculiar nature
which may be words of some long for
gotten language. This proceeding is
supposed to ensure a good crop for
next year. In Scandinavia, Esthonia,
parts of Germany and among some
Slavonic races the favorite repre-
sentative of the corn spirit appears to
have been the hog; for in those re-
gions at times Of planting and of har-
vest they pay the same attention to the
hog as the Burgundian peasants do to
the fox.
In Courland when barley Is sown
the farmers wife boils a hogs chine
and tail. The chine is eaten but the
tail is cut off and stuck up in the
field to insure "fat" crop. The con-
nection between the primitive custom
of the peasants of northern Europe of
cutting off the pigs tail to insure fat
crops and the custom Of the farmers
of American states of cutting off the
pigs tail to insure a fat hog is OBJ
vious.

THE PICS TAIL

A NOT uncommon belief among
"A farmers is that If you cut off a
pigs tail he will fatten more readily
you will have good fat hog at
"killing time" This is one of those
agricultural superstitions which go
back to the most primitive times and
can be clearly traced to that phase of
nature-w orship-the worship of the
grain spirit-which in some Of its
forms regarded the spirit Of the crops
as taking on the shape, or at least as
symbolized by, an animal. To this day
at harvest time in Bourgogne, the last
sheaf gathered is said to be "the fox"
A score of ears of grain are left stand
ing near the sheaf to represent the
"fox's TAIL"
