Bennett was keeping track of his
work and that he was slated for big
things. Rushing home. the cub
showed the cable TO his mother and
while she was calling up family
friends, he took it TO his sweet
heart. Then he started in buying
equipment At that point two older
members Of the staff, having some
consideration, broke the news to the
kid that the cable was fake.
Perhaps yacht race yarns are a
bit dated, but one newspaper story
calls for another. Thirty years ago.
the editorial heads of the Evening
World conceived the idea of cover
ing the cup races from a captive
balloon. All arrangements having
been made. big advertising cam
paign was carried out and attract
ed lot Of attention because OF the
novelty of the stunt. The reporter
selected for the assignment had
never been up In a balloon before
and had been In the air only a few
moments when he became deathly
sick. The only messages he sent TO
the ground were pleas to be yanked
down before he died. But the World
carried brilliant report Of the race
as seen from the balloon Ii was
written by rewrite man from AS
sociated Press reports.
The Sun also had an idea for COW
ering that same race. In those days
there was no wireless. OF course. SO
a schooner was chartered and an
chored near the stake boat. From
the schooner a short cable was run
to shore, the cable connecting with
a telegraph wire. Boats were char
tered to pick up the various stories
and dump them on the schooner.
Thus, the Sun was assured of fast
cOverage.
II happened that the man assigned
10 the schooner was not only the
best dressed reporter on the staff
but also the most fastidious. To
make sure he would be on the job
early enough in the morning, he
boarded the old schooner the night
before When the other boats ar
rived for the race. they were met
with frantic pleas TO be taken
ashore. The schooner was infested
with vernin. and the reporter
feared he would be eaten alive. Ills
pleas were disregarded but ne was
taken of each night thereafter.

Practical joking is popular pas
time along Broadway anything for
a laugh. That has been the rule for
a long. long time. BIZ phelon,
baseball writer on the Cincinnati
Times-Star and the old Morning
Telegraph. was a close friend of
Bin Hanna. who wrote baseball for
the old New York Sun. Hanna,
slight and nervous, was a hypo-
chondrlac and was always calling
on doctors or going to sanitariums.
One night. Phelon walking down
Broadway. encountered Hanna who
was walking up. lie greeted him
casually and walked downtown and
OF course met Hanna whom he
again greeted casually. Hanna
.bllnked and returned the greeting
somewhat anxiously. Phelon took
another car ride and gave Hanna a
third greeting. Then, according to
the story, Hanna. believing he was
seeing things. went TO sanitarium
and gave himself up.
Another example with a newspa-
per connection. occurred on the old
Herald. A report spread through
the city room that a staff man was
to be sent to Egypt 10 meet TheO-

interest as to which would be the

ing the 10 weeks following Sept
ember 1, when the self-insurancer
plan went into effect. They show
only 10 accidents reported per L.
100000 man-hours, Mr.. Rohweder
stated. This number Of man-hours
represents $4,000 men working z
hours and Is minutes a day, for g.
days.
An accident rate Of only 10 per
10000 man-hours compares fav-
orably with % to % in mining, 90
in public works and highway build
ing, 38 in construction industry,
and 20 in cannery activities.
This good showing, according TO-
w. T. Norton, supervisor Of safety,
and compensation, is largely due.
to the accident prevention cam
padgn carried on by the division. It
is effectively promoted by means of
10 district and 81 county inspectors.
Mr.. Norton explained that the.
safety record has been achieved
against heavy odds. Some of the.
SIERRA projects call for such risky
activities as gravel pit excavation
and public works construction jobs.
Many of the laborers are farmers
without previous training in indus
trial vacations, and unacquainted
with modern safety methods Of de-
vices.
