1000 WOMEN BURNED
YEARLY

d URNS kill more women than men
- This is the only kind of an acct
dent in which the mortality is greater
among women than men. Figures COW
ering a long period show that out of
every five deaths from burns, three
are deaths of women and girls. Burns
stand forth among the causes of acct
dental deaths, being surpassed only by
automobile accidents, falls and drown
ings.
In 1922 there were nearly $500
deaths from burns alone in the United
States. OF these, about 40 per cent
occurred in the first FIVE years Of life
AT this age the mortality for male and
female are about the same. This
means that up to FIVE years of age a
boy is just as apt to be burned to
death as a girl. After five years Of
age, however, more than twice as
many girls die from burns.
Up to five years boys and girls are
dressed much alike. After this age
boys generally wear ciose-fitting WOOL
en- clothes which have no loose trim
mings and are not liable to come in
contact with fire.
But girls wear dresses Of light cot
ton material. They are trimmed with
laces and ribbons, which can easily
come in contact with an open fire or
an exposed gas jet. Women, too, often
form the foolish and dangerous habit
of lighting matches on the soles Of
their shoes, even when they are wear
ing long and flowing skirts. Matches
carelessly dropped on the floor may
easily set fire to woman's skirt, but
would do no damage to a mans close
fitting wooden trousers.
Whatever the explanation, the fact
remains that every year nearly four
thousand women and girls are burned
to death.
Burns are classified by surgeons &C
cording to their effect on the skin. A
burn of the first degree is one which
reddens the skin; second-degree
burn Is on. in which the skin is bis
tered, while In burn of the third
degree the skin is burned and black
ened throughout its entire thickness.
The danger to life in burn depends
not so mucn on the depth of the burn
as on the area covered. Even a first
degree burn is almost always fatal,
If one-third or more of the skin of the
body is covered.
In women and children whose clothes
catch fire. death usually follows be-
cause the entire body is burned.
Greater care and watchfulness will
save six thousand lives every year
now lost through carelessness.

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
PROTECTING THE MIDDLE
AGED

MORE is being done for babies to-
1Nl day then ever before in the
worlds history.
The old are carefully cared for in
many hospitals and public instiru-
TONS
But middle age is left to take care
of itself. Yet it is in the period OF
middle life, from thirty-five TO fifty
five, the prime of life and the period
Of greater production, that the death
rate. instead of decreasing, is actually
growing.
This fact is of interest. not only to
the doctor but also to the big business
man. Probably no business is so
vitality interested in the increasing
death rate in middle age as is the in
surance business. The Association of
Life Insurance Presidents is the most
powerful and influential body Of men
in the insurance business. At its last
meeting Dr. Charles Ii. Mayo was
asked to talk TO its members on
Protecting the Middle Aged" After
telling his audience that in the last
hundred years 80 per cent of the great
developments of the world had oc-
Cured, Doctor Mayo also told them that
in the last twenty-four years we have
learned more about human diseases
and their treatment than had been
learned In the previous twenty-four
hundred years.
He showed how we have been able
to control and in some cases complete
ly wipe out contagious diseases, which
affiict people in the mass. but the
great problem now, he said, was the
reduction of individual diseases which
kill man in middle life as result
of his personal habits.
If you could get Henry Ford to look
over your automobile, you'd consider
his opinion worth listening to- wouldn't
you? If J. PierpOnt Morgan offered
you some advice regarding invest
ments, you'd be apt to give it careful
consideration. Here's what Doctor
Mayo told the presidents of the great
life insurance companies:
Ninety-seven per cent Of all deaths
are due to infections. In middle age
when the body begins to wear out, 1t
needs frequent looking over. If you
have a $4,000 car, says Doctor Mayo,
you send it often to be looked over
and that is fine thing. But your
own life isn't worth that much atten-
ton. You are going to leave some
money TO yOur family perhapS but
yoI won't pay even a small amount
to be looked over after you are forty
years old to see what you are going
to die of.
Who can protect the middle aged?
Only the middle aged themselves, by
seeing that their bodies are given
enough care to keep them alive until
they are no longer middle aged but
happy and successful old people.

BALTIMORE HEADS

Approve Regional Develop

Adjacent to Washington.

Regional development of a metro
politan area adjacent to the city of
Washington met with the enthusiastic
approval of Baltimore city officials
and business men who attended the
Rotary Club luncheon in the Monu-
mental City yesterday and heard the
speech of Lieut.. Col. Clarence o.
Sheriff., according to reports brought
back today. Those at the meeting
promised wholehearted support for
the plan, to the extent also of get
ting Solidly behind legislation at the
next Maryland Legislature, which
would formally authorize the activities
necessary for development.
Baltimore's parks and bathing beach
system is far ahead of the National
Capital, Col. Sheriff. said. Following
the luncheon he was taken on a tour
of the park system and beaches by
State Senator w. I. Norris, president
of the Baltimore Park Board. and Mr..
Ryan, a member. The effect of early

facilities in pools, such as he would
like to build here, for 10000
people, and is constructing another
pool at cost of $125,000. The park
board knows how much money 1t is
going to get each year. and can go
right ahead and do it's planning. 1t

earnings Of the street railways there,
he said.
The park board has gone ahead
and purchased park sites in the val

SO well provided with park facilities
now that the board is going out of
the limits and is purchasing sites
on the Chesapeake Bay for open

This development work has gone

pointed out, in favoring the regional
development plan, were particularly
impressed by that part which includes
