SAFETY CONFERENCE--MARCH
9th and 9TH

The Fifth Annual New York Safe
tv Conference, to be held March 9Th
and 18th, is an example of activity
which deserves the widest possible
notice.
A large number of organizations
such as the National Board of
Casualty and Surety Underwriters,
American Standards Association,
American Red Cross, Society OF Au-
tomotive Engineers and similar
bodies-will cooperate. Topics con-
corning every phase of safety work
from handling material, to fire
prevention and falls-will be dis
cussed by experts. The object OF
the conference is to make life safer,
healthier and happier for workers,
and to bring American industry
step nearer to the ideal of absolute
safety.
Similar conferences should be
held in other sections of the coun-
try at regular intervals, to back up
the work of the various O. ganiza-
lions which carry on nationwide
safety programs. In the last decade
we have made tremendous prograss
in promoting safety, especially in the
field of industry. Safeguarding OF
machinery has been Immensely i'm
proved, but more important, the
average worker has been given a
new idea of what safe conduct on
his job really means. The result is
a growing list of 'no-accidont' in
dustries, and a general decline in
both the severity and frequency Of
accidents in other industries.
Much remains to be done-in in
dustry, in the home, and Oil public
highways, where the death and in
jury toll is disgraceful. Safety ac-
tivities must be expanded.

TEACHING FIRE SAFETY!

Some time ago the Boy Scouts of
America requested the National
Board of Fire Underwriters to pro-
vide them with material on fire pre-
yention with which to instruct their
members. The result was a sixty
i've page book entitled Fireman
Ship" for Merit Badge examinations.
Over sixty thousand Boy Scouts use
It in preparing for tests each year.
1t would be an excellent idea if a
national program was started to ac-
luaint children of all ages with the
hazards of fire, and how 10 do away
with them. Fire is one of the most
serious of problems. 1t touches
every life, every piece of property.
It menaces us all. 1t initiates taxes,
destroys jobs and investments and
business opportunities. Many cases
are on record where a single great
ire has so devastated community
hat many years were required to re-
cover from it.
The schools have, in recent years,
almost universally included accident
prevention work in their curricula.
They have instructed children in
proper conduct on streets and high
ways, in the home, at play wher-
ever carelessness or ignorance might
cause an accident. The conse-
quence has been great seduction
in the number of deaths anG injur-
les among children of school age.
The same thing should be lone in
the case of fire. 1t would be sim
pie, inexpensive and enormously eff
fective. In due course of time, ii
would create people who were con-
CENTRALLY awake to fire dangers and
how to cope with them.

Telephones serving the Pennsyl-

officials of the company.
Electrical communication contributes
much to the safety of railway travel.
Use of the telephone in dispatching

about trains arriving and leaving, pur-

PRESIDENT TO ATTEND TER
CENTENARY CELEBRATION

The announcement that President
Roosevelt has notified Governor
Richie of his desire to attend the
Maryland Tercentenary celebration
at st. Mary's City, and that he will
be present if official business does
not prevent, has created still! greater
interest in the occasion which it is
anticipated will attract vast crowds
from far and near.
This will be the principal feature
of the St. Mary's County observance
and plans are being made for it on
an elaborate scale by the Tercen-
tenary Commission in cooperation
with the St. Mary's County Com
mittee. 1t is expected that fully
1000 will take part in the pageant,
which will be unusually notable, it
is said, since it will combin' water
with land episodes. Swepsou Earle,
member of the Tercenienary Exc
cutive Committee, will have charge
of the aquatic features.
Governor Richie wrote to the
President early this month, inviting
him to be present and his reply was
read at. this weeks meeting of the
Executive Committee, of which R.
Bennett Darnall is the chairman
DR.. Matthew Page Andrews, the Sec
rotary, reported that he was receiv-
ing many requests for information
from those who are taking part in
the many schools, patriotic society
and other observances of the Ter
centenary and that the demand for
the Tercentenary booklet continues
large.
While the St. Mary's City lageant
does not take place until June goth,
arrangements for it are peing made
in detail as rapidly as possible. The
State Roads Commission is COM
pleting road improvement S. under
the direction of Harry D. NVilliar,
Jr., it's chief engineer, that i is said
will greatly facilitate the handling
of motor traffic. This work was
started several years ago in order to
assure it's completion in ample time
for the Tercentenary celebration; it
includes the relocating Of the road
at st. Mary's City to prevent con-
gestion at the scene of the celebra-
tion, the widening of the thorough
fare between Mechanicsville and
Leonardtown and the improvement
of Three Notch Road.

WALLACE AFTER
CROOKED MILK DISTRIBUTOR


Charging that many milk djstribu-
tors for years have been muleting
the farmer and the consuming pub
lie through tricky and "upjust1fi-
able" service charges against the
producer, Henry A. Wallace, Secre-
tary of Agriculture, proclaimed his
determination to outlaw such prac-
tees.
He fastened to add that many
milk distributors have not resorted
to any of the practices complained
Of" but that chose practices have
been employed by some deaIers in
nearly all of the major markets
thus far studied" Baltimore spe-
cifically was included among the
markets in which the evils pention-
ed had been encountered.
The proclamation was hailed at
the. Department of Agriculture as
marking "a high point in the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Adia'nistra-
TONS new milk policy" which was
inaugurated February with the
revocation of all milk-market1ng
agreements written prior TO January
under the AAA's supervision.
One of the first reforms :. which
Secretary Wallace said he would aim
under the new milk licenses that are
to be submitted for the Gid market
ing agreements is something Tor
which certain farm groups ia Mary
land and elsewhere have been clam
oring for years. That is a device
whereby the milk producers will be
assured payment for their milk in
strict accordance with the use to
which it is put by the distributors.
Secretary Wallace said he would
seek to perfect "a pool plan. +. in
tended TO abolish the pracrice fol-
lowed by some distributors who pay
for milk at low Glass 2 or Class 3
(surplus) prices while selling it in
bottles at high Glass 1 ca: id milk
for direct consumer use) prices,
pocketing the difference.
1t has. been charged that some
distributors, whose agreements with
milk producers cooperatives already
provide for just the sort of payment
Secretary Wallace envisages, have
bilked the producers By dcctoring
their books and thereby concealing
how much milk they sell IN bottles.
It also has been charged that some
distributor chains have had their
companies in one town sell milk
which they buy at surplus prices to
their affiliates in other towns where
it then is sold as Glass milk in
bottles.

Correct time is essential to modern
railroading. To insure that all clocks
serving the Pennsylvania Railroad are
accurate, time signals from the United
States Naval Observatory at Washing
ton, D. c., are sent out over the sys-

augment the regular train and mes

Special telephone equipment serves
the larger railroad stations to furnish
information to the public regarding
passenger train service including the
arrival and departure Of trains, train

and other international services. Pub
lie telephones operated by commercial
systems serve the larger of the Penn
