Crafty old Flywheel, now Win
some"
win some what?" asked Ravelli
"Some cases, and maybe some
relief from you," snaps Flywheel.
"Ravelli, you see before you the
worlds most pitiful victim of
technocracy. There was a time
when you were able to annoy me
in only a few different ways. Now,
on. account of technical improve
ments, you can do it in at least six
hundred different ways. For in
stance, what is this bulky package
that has stuck us for express
charges of $36.85 from New York;"
"Sh-h-," whispers Ravelli. Boss,
that's Ravelli idea. You know we
leave the old Office. The landlord
can't rent it in New York. A big
lawyer like you got to have his
name on the door, and sign-painters
cost money. So swipe the old door
with the name 'Flywheel, Shyster
and Flywheel.' Now we don't need
to hire new sign-painter. All we
got to do is to find an office and
| use the same door"
What a magnificent brain you
have" Flywheel gasps.- The old
sign-painter hasn't been paid, and
| sold the whole Office TO some
house Wreckers in New York. And
now you stick the firm for $36.85
for a door that can't possibly be
used in Hollywood, a door that
would make us the laughing stock
of the whole population"
why can't it be used?" asks
Ravelli.
Because it hasn't got any key
hole" says Flywheel. "And now
you can do something to please me
very much. Get couple o. sash
weights, tie them to your fest and
take running dive into the Pose

eide on Survey
CONFERENCE PLAN S

The board of trustees of the
Wesley Collegiate Institute, which
closed its doors last September be-
cause of lack of enrolment suf-
ficient to warrant continuing the
school this year, met in Wesley M.
F.. Church Friday and heard an ad-
dress by Bishop Edwin H. Hughes
of Washington, D. c., who will pre-
side over the annual meeting of the
Wilmington M. E. Conference at
Rehoboth in March, in which he
stressed the necessity of reopening
the institution which has meant so
much to this peninsula. AS the re-
suit of Bishop Hughes eloquent
appeal for. the reopening OF the
school next year, the president OF
the board, the Rev. w. E. Gunby,
was authorized to appoint COM
mittee to make a survey of the
situation as it at present exists and
report back to the board at an
early date. It is also presumed
that at the coming session OF the
M. E. Conference detailed report
of conditions regarding the insti-
tute will be made and that possibly
the conference will take hand in
restoring the school to its former
standing in Dover where it has ex-
listed for 50 years. A meeting of
the board of conference trustees
was also held in Wesley Church
discussing arrangements for the
coming session Of the Wilmington
Conference at Rehoboth on March

said Mr.. Flywheel, as he arrived in

tion in New York was something
terrific. Ravelli looks like a ha-

they would be five-spots, but now

SAFETY COUNCIL
GIVES ADVICE
$4,000 Persons Killed in Acct
dents in America in 1881;
$4,000 in Home Accidents
MANY CAUSED BY FALLS

According to the Delaware Safe
ty Council the public has net rec
ognized as they should the serious
ness of the home accident situation
in the United States nor in Della
ware In 1881 there were 81 600
persons killed in America as a re-
suit of accidents. Of this number
$4,000 were killed in the home.
Home accident fatalities are ex-
ceeded only by accidental deaths
for motor vehicle operation. Nearly
one-third of all accidental deaths
occur at home. The hazards con
fronting US in our daily home life
are more serious than supposed.
Nearly half of all home injuries re-
suit from falls, the majority of
which occur on steps or ladders
Strong, safe stepladders and prop
erly illuminated stairways kept
free of toys, ,brooms, soap and other
household articles will largely re-
move this type of home accident.
Many accidents due to falls in the
home are preventable by fastening
the rugs securely to the floor, es
pecially floors with polished sur
faces. Many injuries caused by
tripping or stumbling are eliminat-
ed by replacing playthings, books
and unrestored articles after use.
I Standing on chairs, boxes and
other objects to reach heights is a
] home accident cause frequently re-
sulting il serious injuries. The
use of a good step-ladder for such
purposes as hanging pictures, ar
ranging curtains and cleaning
shelves assures greater safety.
Burns and scalds constitute about
one-fourth of the injuries received
in the home. Almost so per cent
involve children under IS years of
age. Matches in the hands Of
young children present a hazard
often neglected The use of metal
match boxes placed out Of the chill
dren reach largely removes this
hazard. In many homes gasoline
and similar fluids frequently are
used for cleaning purposes. This
practice, particularly indoors, is
considered unusually hazardous as
heat or friction may cause a fire
or explosion.
