was afire. By this time he was a

coveralls in which he worked on a
t~hreshing machine and engine. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Mokrid, who was
asleep in the same room with her
daughter, baby and several of the
children, Mrs. Axness, who had given
birth to a baby girl a scant "a hours
before, arose from bed and went to
to the dining room to assist Mr.. AK
ness. Apparently she tainted, be-
cause neither husband nor wife were
seen again.
The bodies, burned beyond recog-
milton, were taken from the cellar
several hours later.
Due only to the valient efforts of
Mrs. Mokrid, who is so years of age,
were the children rescued. The
house which contained four rooms,
had but one door and that was in
the kitchen.

LONDON. oct. 2,-Stevenson's
tale of the Suicide Club" contains
no stranger passages than today
come from the lips of Bigadier
Chapman who for seventeen years
has been head of London's antithesis
to the Suicide Club--the Anti-Suicide
Bureau of the Salvation Army.
Here and there on the walls of
his office and on the desk before
him lie mementoes of would-be sui
cides who came to Chapnan's office
for one last word Of advice before
taking their lives. Sometimes Chap
man succeeded in staying their hand.
Sometimes he failed utterly.
Il remember one man who came
to me in black despair saying that IL
I could not find him 100 pounds i'm.
mediately he would kill himself"
said Chapman. IT promised to do
what I could for him, and told him
to go away and wait until he heard
from me. AS I left my office an
hour later I saw a newspaper head
line which read Regent Street Sui
eide My man had gone straight
out and shot himself"
But they didn't all end that way"
continued Chapman. He picked up
a cheap revolver that lay on his
desk. 1.-THE man who held this re-
volver to his head and pulled the
trigger is still alive. The revolver
jammed. The shock of the effort
brought the man back to his senses.

eyes. Things Strengthened out for

ACCIDENTS
DEPLlRED BY DAVIS

Calling attention to the need for
accident prevention work Secretary
Of Labor, James J. Davis, ia his An
nual Report to Congress for 1925
says: "The industrial aecident-preven-
ton work, which was the subject Of
the meeting ] called early IN Deem
Der, 1923, should be vigorously fol-
lowed up. have been able to do very
little in connection with It up to the
present time owing 70 lack Of funds.
State contracts have been made in a
number Of cases but owing to the fact
that / have but one man TO handle
this entire problem the progress is
entirely unsatisfactory. The fact that
the industrial accidents causing loss
Of wages for one day or more in 1923
were practically two and half mil
lion, of which $4,000 were fatal, should
be sufficient emphasis upon the i'm
portance Of this work, and the Blu
reau of Labor Statistics should be
put in a position to employ several
experts to place the machinery Of ac-
cident prevention in operation as rap
idly as possible.
"In order that definite step for
ward may be taken in this work, I
recommend that a division of labor
safety be created in the Bureau of
Statistics and that funds be provided
for its maintenance and development.
Such a division would bring into un-
iformity State legislation along acci-
dent-prevention lines and uniformity
in the gathering and compilation Of
accident statistics, SO that the Com
missioner Of Labor Statistics win
eventually be able to bring these to-
Tgether on a national scale and show
the actual number of accidents and
be able to compute accident rates in
all the principal industries.
at has been pointed out in rather
expressive language that for the fis-
cal year, 1924, $716,260, and in 1925,
s7ss,S6O was spent by the govern
ment to enforce the pure food and
drugs act, though it is exceedingly
questionable whether 100000 per-
sons were made sick and $4,000 peo-
pie died as the result of the use of all
the food and drugs that have been
made more hygienic through the en-
foreement of that law"

By The Way

Each time you buy a motor car
you pay for five things in which you
never can take ride. That state
ment is made in an advertisement Of
one of the leading American cars.
The five items are set forth as:
War taxi freight charge, factory's
profit. dealers profit. and saIesman's
commission.
But, why stop at that point You
are exploited at every turn in your
operation Of your car. You are ex-
plotted at every turn even il you
have no car.
A gallon of gasoline for your kit
chen stove has as much overhead"
as a gallon Of gasoline for your car.
You burn gas. All right, you eat
groceries. You buy the gasoline that
brings the delivery car to your door.
But gasoline is the least, smallest
and most unimportant Of your days
exploitation.
If you light q match, bite an apple,
inhale bowl Of soup or surround q
bean sandwich at your monday lunch
at your favorite pie foundry you are
paihg rent, interest, Vaxes-iver-
head on all sorts of things, and you
are lucky if you get back to your
work without paying war taxes,
freight charges, dealers profits and
other overhead on somebody's car.
During your days work you will
help, by your surplus and uncollected
earnings, to pay somebody's "five
things" in which they can't ride
and you can't and won't either.

lion and a half pounds Of honey in
the warehouses, clogging the market
and bearing down prices as a result
of competitive dumping. Three hum
dred and fifty honey producers met
early in the spring of 1928 to see if
there weren't some better way Of do
ing business than the old cut-throat
method Of flooding the market with
their product in the late summer at
low prices, only to see the spectators
and wholesalers shove the price up to
outrageous levels during the winter
and spring months. Accordingly the
Ontario Honey Producers Coopera-
tive was formed to rationalize market
ing processes.
This year IS per cent. Of the great
PROVINCES honey crop is Being handled
by the coop. Eight million pounds
will be sent to the United States and
European countries by one thousand
cooperating producers at a marketing
expense of cent pound. An agent
tours the European market yearly,
disposing of the larger part Of the
Ontario yield. Not only sane market
ing, but the establishment Of central
carload shipping points, the coopera-
tive purchasing of containers, and q
cooperative honey-canning plant have
saved the farmers thousands of dol
lars,
Thanks to cooperation, next sum-
mer bids fair to be prosperous sea-
son for the busy Ontario bees as well
as for their keepers.

blem. It has been done by teaching"

Here is a problem that may require
some very expert handling to bring a
solution:
John w. Langley, Of Pikeville, KY,
was convicted some Is months ago of
conspiracy to violate the prohibition
law.
Some twelve months ago the same
man was elected to serve two years
in Congress at a salary Of $4,000 q
year.
A couple Of weeks ago the United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals de-
cided that Langley should serve two
years in the penitentiary and pay q
$4,000 fine.
Now, Il would seem, the question
is: in which place shall he servo time
and shall the sentences run concur
rently7
At any rate, If the sentence should
stand the test Of the Supreme Court,
il win knock Ell Of the profits Of the
Congressional salary.

There is something admirable about
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur. It is
his native bluntness. that age can not
wither nor custom stale. He used to
be blunt in the old days when the
writer knew him as q much-loved
juvenile judge-judge in a juvenile
court. He used to say things he
throughout and sometimes the chips
fell heavily on meticulous and fussy
persons who interested themselves in
public affairs.
AS Secretary Of the Navy he may
have been tainted with the official
snobbishness of the navy-one hopes
not, but it may have happened.
They are now telling a story Of
how Secretary Wilbur INDUCED in an
old-time piece Of bluntness the other
night at q dinner where President
Coolidge was entertaining the italian
debt-funding commission. Someone
brought up as subject Of discussion
the personality Of Benito Mussolini."
It was politely suggested that he
had genius for organization. No one
disagreed but suddenly Secretary VIII
bur turned to Signor Alberto Pirelh,
financial wizard Of Italy" and re-
marked:
THAT boss Of yours thinks he can
accomplish everything by force. How
long does he think he can get away
with that stuff ?"
No disclosure has been made Of the
answer. One guesses it was murmurs,
polite Determinations and pretty
patches Of politeness.
It was a pertinent question and one
the world would like to have answered.
