BETTER PRECAUTIONS ARE
URGED FOR HOME SAFETY
More Accidents Occur There than
Occur Thru Use of Automobiles

"Few people realize that as many
lives are lost, each year, in accidents
in homes as in automobile accidents;
and that there are twice as many
deaths from injuries receievd in home
accidents as in those received in indus
try" DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health said re-
Gently, in urging better precautions in
the countless "little" things that make
for safety and greater attention to the
necessary safeguards in the home.
"Our records show that deaths from
accidents now occupy sixth place as
causes of death in Marylland; and that
one out of every fifteen deaths that oc-
cur in the State is due to injuries re
ceived in an accident of some sort.
There We're 1,421 deaths from acci-
dents recorded in the State last year.
Injuries received in automobile and
other motor vehicle accidents were re-
sponsible for 500 of these deaths and
larger number were due to injuries re-
ceived in home accidents. Falls which
take the heaviest toll in home accidents
were responsible for 355 deaths. Burns,
which have second place in home haz-
ards, caused SO deaths. The real sig
nificance of such totals is more appar
ent when we realize that it is estimated
that four times as many as the number
who die are permanently disabled each
year from some happening in the home
that might have been avoided if better
care had been exercised.
"Just how careless and thoughtless
many of US are inclined to be is shown
very graphically in pamphlet recent
ly issued by the National Safety Coun-
Gil under the title "Safe at Home" IL
Illustrations which tell the story and
suggest the consequences include a
rocking chair used as step ladder;
upturned, slippery rugs; toys; dust
pan and bucket; brushes and brooms
left on stairways; kitchen fire be-
ing started with kerosene; smoke curl
ing up from carelessly discarded
cigarette; dangerous drugs left with
in reach of children; and host of
other thoughtlessly neglected 'trides.'
"The germ diseases against which
we have learned to safeguard our
selves are due to what seem to be in
finistesimal causes. If we could be
immunized against thoughtlessness,
carelessness, and the didn't know it
was loaded habit of mind as effec-
lively as we can be protected against
smallpox, diphtheria and typhoid
fever, the deaths and disabilities from
accidents of all sorts could be cut
down in similar fashion. A sign de-
signed by one Of the business corpora
tions, bearing the one word THINK
in large letters is to be found in many
up-to-date offices. Home hazards and
hazards of all sorts could be greatly
reduced by habitual thoughtfulness." "

BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Admin-
istration officials we're reported near
a decision today on legislative pro-
posals which virtually would convert
the Federal Reserve System into a
central bank" under Federal domi-
nation.
Administration banking officials
we're expected to reach a decision
this week on two proposals which
would effect important changes in
the nations banking structure.
These are:
l. Formation of an open market
committee under direct supervision
Of the Federal Reserve Board at
Washington to regulate credit
throughout the country instead of
through the present open market
committee selected by regional
banks.
2. Selection of Federal Reserve
Bank governors by the Federal Re-
serve Board or possible consolida-
ton of their duties with those of
the Federal Reserve agents now di-
rectly responsible to the Federal Re-
serve Board.

RAILROAD GAINS SEEN
Pennsylvania Official Predicts Traf-

By United Press

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 23-Increased
carloadings and advances in passen-
ger traffic on railroads during 1885
were predicted by Frank E. Strouse,
Pennsylvania Railroad official, at
meeting of st. Louis business men.
THE increased traffic will go
long way toward insuring prosperity
for the railroads." Strouse said.
"Since the public is finding out that
Main Street, and not Wall Street,
owns the railroads, there has been
much better understanding of what
rail service means to the Nation"

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-With an in
crease of 80 per cent in the spend
able income of farmers in the last

cumulated needs of farmers for

The wholesale value of sales of
farm equipment in the first 10
