Editorial Comment
Hold Ups as Employment Hazards

(Boston Evening Transcript
In the judgement of the Supreme
Court Of New Jersey injuries in
flicted in hold-ups are to be regarded
as among the ordinary hazards of
industry for which payment may be
exacted under the States compen-
sation law. The learned justices of
of the highest Jersey tribunal were
called upon to act in the case of
Michael Wilmer of Newark. When
the hold-up men put the name of
Samuel Klatz, his employer, on their
list of victims, Michael, who was
present when the Yobbers called, did
not raise his hands as promptly as
that response is usually made. He
was shot and dangerously wounded.
The Essex County Court of Common
Pleas found he was entitled to Sl7O0
under the workman's compensation
law. The Supreme Court confirms
the action of the court below.
The question as defined by the
higher court was whether or not
such a hold-up, where employer and
employee were working together,
could reasonably be anticipated as
connected with the employment. In
these times" said the court, when
SuCn eNe1lS are VI iIiOl z Iiieiii va
occurrence, We think there can be
! only one answer. AS a matter OF
common knowledge, every employee
with money of his employer in his
custody or working in the neighbor-
hood Of the cash, may we'll expect
that something might happen. The
bank messenger, the payroll custo-
dian, the collector and cashier, and
all working around them are subject
to the risk" Clearly there Is here
statement Of fact not to be denied.
Such is life in the complex civil
ization of the twentieth century.
Gone are the dangers endured by the
founders of the Nation when they
lmade their little settlements in a
land where roamed the Indians. The
perils of the frontier, where the
blatant life of the mining towns was
punctuated with the staccato re-
ports of the six guns. are no more
The bad men of the wild and Wooily

cities. East and West, the gunman
holds sway. So widespread and ire

RELIEF FOR FLORIDA

The suggestion has been made by
Mayor Romf'- of Miami that the
country had "a very exaggerated
idea" of the damage and suffering
caused by the Florida hurricane.
This and certain statements by
others naturally led to the conclusion
that perhaps things were not So bad
in that state after all and that there
is no need for outside help. 1t Is
now limited that for commercial rea-
sons, in particular the advertising
Of her hotels and resorts, there was
the inclination of Floridians to mini
mize the permanent damage caused
by the great storm
That the need for outside help is
very great, is now more apparent,
the report coming that more than
5000 homes were destroyed and 49,
600 families are in want; that hun
dreds of injured are still in hospitals
and every available dollar Is being
used for doctors, nurses, medical

SUICIDE RATE IN AMERICAN
CITIES

That the suicide rate tends to
fuctuate in accordance with bust
ness conditions, that large proper
ton Of the victims are persons of
the fairly well-to-do class, and that
suicide in the large majority of cases
involves some form Of social delin-
quency the judicial consequences of
which are evaded by self-inflictel
death, these are among the general
izations made by DIR. Frederick l..
Hoffman and published in the in
surance journal The Spectator
His compilation of the suicide
record of Is American cities for 1925
shows a slight increase in the rate
compared with 1924-15.6 per 100000,
compared with 1913. In 1920 the rate
was 1874. The highest rate was
again shown in San Diego-39.6
(but compared with ASP in 1920;
Los Angeles is next, with 35.7 Other
cities with an especially high rate
include San Francisco with S1.6:
Denver, 2SS; Tacoma, 2S7; Port
land, Ore, 26.9; Oakland, Cal,
26s; Seattle, 27.3; Minneapolis,
24.9; Spokane, PAS. The rate of
Manhattan and the Bronx is 2O.4,
and Of Boston, ZAP.
mo rational explanation has been
forthcoming" says DIR. Hoffman, re-
ferring to the question why the high
or rates are shown on the Pacific
coast and the Middle West. The
question seems deserving Of further
study.

Illiterate But
Could keep Books"

The old Acadians, or Cajuns, Of
Southwestern Louisiana We're a prim-
tive people. Their customs, if
quaint, were often ingenious. In those
early days the sole intruders from
the outside world were the CONNER
cial travellers. They saw some
curious things.
One of them, making the round Of
the prairie in his buggy, stopped at
a boutique. or small Cajun store.
The proprietor could neither read
nor write. Nevertheless, he had a
card index system of credit of his
own. This he kept upon pieces of
plank. putting down first the mark
peculiar to each debtor. Afterward
he added a picture of each article
that was bought and charged. An
admirable system.-Adventure Mag

Public Library
Every Mass. Town

Newbury, Mass, Oct. 5-(P,-
Every town in Massachusetts, now
has a public library. Establishment
of library here has made the list
complete. Although Newbury is one
of the oldest towns in the common
wealth, it never had a public library
until one was opened recently in the
Byfield parish.
For many years the town has made
an annual appropriation payable to
the city of Newburyport for the
privilege of allowing its citizens to
obtain books from the Newburyport
public library, but lack of transpor-
tation facilities made it difficult for
most of the residents of Byfeld to
take advantage of the plan, so they
arranged to open a library them
selves.
Miss z. Louise Jones. field secre-
tary of the Public Libraries of Mas
sachusetts, assisted citizens in estab-
fishing the By1ield library. A hall
centrally located was given to house
the library by William Bailey and
many residents donated books and
magazines. The Rev. Floyd W. Nor
ris, pastor of the Byfield Methodist
Church, was a leader in the move
ment for a library, and members IF
his congregation have given tables,
chairs, bookcases and other furnish
ings.
1t is probable that the financial ar
rangement between the town and
Newburyport will be continued so
that Byfeld citizens may still have
privileges at the Newburyport libra
ry as we'll as at their own. Following
the opening of the Byfleld library it
was planned to seek a loan of books
from the Newburyport library that
they might be brought here for easy
access.
Mrs. Grin Arlin is volunteer librar-
ian and Mrs. George Ordway is assis-
tant. both serving without compen-
sation. For the present the library
is open Wednesday afternoons and
evenings and Saturday afternoons.
It's sponsors hope soon to keep it
open on a regular daily schedule.

and the pretty feathered lady hurried
into the henhouse for those two little
presents for the bunny boy.
Now don't lose the Pumpkin Pen

warned him. Your mother will be
glad to have fresh egg for her ange,

YOU don't lose it, will buy you a lolly-

I'm much obliged to you" cried
the little rabbit, smiling all over, and
off he hoped to see Old Sic'em in his
comfortable kennel house by the

old dog a question, and could hardly
wait to hop across the barnyard.
