dents In. the home and today announced
q plan to cut down the average. Two
million club women are expected to take
part in the program.
MiShapS in the home constitute one
fourth of the yearly 100000 fatalities
from accidental causes. Some one,
usually q woman or child, Is injured by
Q fall every half minute, generally by
slipping on q rug or slippery floor or
pitching down the stairs. These were
found TO be the most common reasons
Tor accidental falls.
Poor illumination, sometimes due to
the fad for subdued lighting, sometimes
TO economy, Is responsible for many of
the falls. Lack Of closet space In mod
ern homes, which causes women to put
ironing boards, mopS and broomS at the
head of stairs, especially those leading
to the cellar, causes many painful
bumps and bruises and sometimes
broken backs and necks.
Club women of North Carolina, Sc
lscted by MRS. John r. Sippel, presi-
dent Of the General Federation Of Wom-
ems Clubs, co-operated with the Bureau
of Standards IN making the survey,
Every time . club woman suffered an
accident In her home she immediately
reported It to her club president The
president, in turn, communicated with
the State president, Mrs. Z. M. Land,
who relayed the information on to the
Bureau Of Standards.
The women were at this for four
months until bruises and bumps were
NAhulated and catalogued from 6,792
North Carolina homes. There were 400
Nccidents Of sufficient severity 10 IN
