Industry's Climb Toward Safety

The manufacturers of this country, after quarter
century effort have reduced the annual record OF
accidents within their plants and works to really sur
prising minimum. In 1929. for instance. there were
about 10000 industrial fatalities of which only 5000
actually occurred in manufacturing plants.
While accidents have dwinded in the conduct Of in
dustry in general and the railroads in particular

now crying need for = remedy.

Today Is the
Anniversary Of

MARYLAND DAY
On March as, 1884, the first Roman
Catholic mass was celebrated In
Maryland.
Two years before, Cecilius Calvert,
second Lord of Baltimore, received a
charter from. Charles comforting on
him possession Of the territory now
forming the states Of Maryland and
Delaware. One of the chief causes
that led to the settlement Of Mary
land was the desire of Lord Balti-
more. a Catholic, to found q colony
where his fellow believers might pro-
fess their religion openly without in
curing the penalties to which they
were subjected to in England.
other denominations, however,
were to be on equal footing with the
Catholics, and Of the 800 or more who
arrived at Point Comfort, Va, in Feb
ruary, 1884, it is probable that half
of them were Protestants. On the
25th of March mass was celebrated
on st. Clements Island in the Po-
tomac, and shortly after the site Of
the city Of st. Mary's was traced on
land bought from the Indians, near
the banks Of the river.

Utilitarian VS.. Cultural Education

James 1hllrlow Adams, American writer is plainly
peeved the tendency of American educators
sute utitaran for cultural subjects in our higher
stutons of learning. He thinks it all wrong that
youngser who to college learn business English
real estate selling and personnel management should be
given Master Of Arts degree in token that he has at
tanned to the of cultural perfecton-rankng in
this respect with those who have spent their time plumb
ing the depths of philosophy, literature and science.
Adams wants us to know there two kinds of educa
tion teaching how to make living, the other
teaching how to live One should confused with
the other. He quotes Mathew Arnolds definition of
culture "a harmonious expression Of all the powers
which make the beauty and worth Of human nature"
This does not accord with the late President Eliots
ideal of education, the aim Of which he declared should
be toward greater power and service. This power and
service" phrase, in the opinion Of Adams is of the
most banefu coined by educator it teaches
Americans the pernicious philosophy that what they do
counts for than what they
It would seem, almost II Adams defending the
sacred preserves of exclusive social cult when he de-
clares that people who acquire education of the utaran
kind only, have right. to call themselves educated.
And yet there startling truth in what he says Here
is sample:
I'VE have been doing for three hundred years.
We have cleared and settled continent. We
have accumulated the most colossal store of
material power the world has Is it
not time that we began to think what to do
with all means; what the end is that
wish to attain? Are We forever to continue get
ting things simply in order to get more
things? The entire practical life in America
urges to do increasingly and unthinkingy.
Should it not be Of the chief functions of
education to find the strands of meaning in our
ceaseless web Of doing and to teach some pur-
pose in our lives? Can anything give us that
purpose better than culture ?"
The educational rebel who wrote the above quotation
has much truth his sde but is the losing end of
the argument far the present age is concerned
This age is definitely committed to the power and
service" dea promulgated by the great Harvard DEAN
Whether folks like 1t not education in America
is and will continue to be predomnanty unitarian.

PEAS CONTAIN yITANdINS


The green peas which are 50 ia
milar to everyone are an important
member of the family leguminosae.
They were originally q native of
Southern Europe and Asia, and have
probably been used for food in the
Orient for thousands Of years. Even
in Europe they were cultivated years
before the dawn Of the Christian Era.
These seeds have been found in the
lake dwellings OF Switzerland, show
ing that they were used as . food
during the Bronze Age.
This hardy annual Is found with
two main types; one with q wTinkled
seed and one with smooth round
contour. While the plants are usually
grown for seeds, there are several vari-
eties with thick green edible pods,
which may be eaten very much as we
use green beans, and which are exten-
sively used in Europe, but have not
been well introduced in this country.
The vines in the different varieties
may vary from IL inches to II feet
in length.
The average shelled green pea con-
tains 74.5 per cent water, Z per cent
protein, S per cent fat, Is per cent
carbohydrate. per cent ash, contain
ing good amounts OF potassium, Sodi-
UNI. calcium, magnesium. phosphorus
and sulphur. The dried pea contains
smaller amount Of water. contain
ing only about IS per cent. It con-
tains a larger amount Of protein, ap-
proximately 22.5 per cent. and fat
1.8 per cent, carbohydrates So per
cent, and mineral matter rs per cent.
The fresh or canned green peas are
especially valuable because they con-
tain good amounts Of vitamins A, B
and G. The canned variety may be
used to advantage In regions where
other fresh vegetables are not OBJ
tainable. The dried peas may be
cooked in soups or baked like dried
beans. They should be considered a
starchy vegetable and not used at the
same time with acid foods or with
other proteins. The very small green
pea may be classed among the nom
starchy vegetables, although as the
pea becomes more mature it contains
a larger amount Of starch. Here are
a few recipes which you will find in
teresting.
French Style Peas
Wash one head Of lettuce, thor
oughly drain, and chop into small
pieces. Add one cup Of water and
two pounds Of peas, weighed before
shelling. Cover and simmer for 80
minutes. IF canned peas are used
the lettuce should be cooked for is
minutes before adding the peas.
When cooked, remove from the fire,
add butter and seasoning, and serve.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
PyOrrhea


Question: H. B. asks: What is a
cure for pyorrhea?"
Answer: Follow the advice of your
dentist regarding local treatment of
the gums, scaling of the teeth, etc.
At the same time, improve your diet
habits, using plenty of the green veg
etables containing bone building ma
terials. AS there is always condl-
ton of acidosis present in pyorrhea,
these vegetables also help because OF
their alkaline reaction.
Tomato Fast

should one take tomato juice on
fast and how much at time?"
Answer: If you are contemplating
q tomato juice fast I would advise
you to take an eight-ounce glass OF
the juice every two hours, together
with a glass of water, also drinking
q glass of water each hour in be-
tween the hours when you take the
tomato juice.
Poor Sight
Question: r. +. B. asks: What
can I do for poor sight from nervous
ness? am always exhausted and

anything which would tire you too
much would take away some Of the
energy which should go to your eyes.
On the other hand, your poor sight
