 After Germany
BY HARRY FLORY limited Press Staff correspondent

 The French note showed no real progress-rather a qualification of the deadlock that has existed for many months.

It was specified that "consultatlon would not be enough-that there must be certainty of prompt and effective penalties against any na- tion, meaning Germany, which proved aggressive. Germany could do nothing more reassuring as re- gards her peacefulness, the French note said, than to rejoni the league of nations.
 Despite the tone, the British government expressed hope that the door is not closed"
 It was said that the government was not prepared to guarantee the inviobility or any frontiers, as the French note seemed to ask. It would be willing, however, officials said, to go little further than pre- viously, when it promised to "con- suit"

.FERA REPORTS
ONE FATALITY
High Safety Record Shown
During Seven Months
Period.

During the seven months in which
the federal emergency relief admin
istration has been operating, only
one fatality has occurred in relief
work accidents in Indiana, accord
ing to Neal H. Dow, state safety di-
rector of the Governors commission
on unemployment relief.
All FERA relief work projects in
the state, including activities in the
twelve transient service bureau
centers, are under supervision of
the commissions safety organiza-
ton. The division also co-operates
with the United States conservation
department in looking after the
5000 young men in the state Civilian
Conservation Corps camps.
AS the result of warnings and in
structions to work directors, fore
men and workers, preventive meas
ures taken on all FERA projects
have held accidents to a minimum,
Mr.. Dow said.
In 288 accidents, workers suffered
injuries resulting in loss of time,
and 1,470 minor injuries were re-
ported in which no time was lost.
The accident frequency cycle, or
determining factor average, for the
state is III for the period from
April to Nov 8.
Accidents which resulted in lost
time were classified as follows: Ma
chinery, 5; vehicles, 25; burns, 4;
poison ivy, etc., So; falls, IS; step
ping on or striking against objects,
81; falling objects, 80; handling OBJ
jects, 25; hand tools, 26, and mis-
cellaneous, So.
The sole fatality occurred recently
in Marion county, when a relief
worker who was trimming trees was
caught by falling limb and suf-
fered a fracture of the skull. He
died later in a hospital.

ShOoed it off.
Passing a downtown Indianapolis
corner, Mr.. Avery noticed a traffic
officer pointing to his car and he
stopped to look around. The hen
was on the running board.
He put the hen in the rear seat,
proceeded to Methodist hospital,
where the sergeant is convalescing
from an operation, and he and his
wife visited with the sergeant and
his wife.
Mrs. Eisenhut accompanied the
visitors to their car at the end of
the visit, and they found the hen
had laid an egg.
Obviously it was a gesture of good
will and happy recovery from the
hen to the sergeant, so it was
cooked in the hospital and served to
the ailing officer.
