Council; Cyril Ainsworth, American
Standards Association; John Frey,
American Federation of Labor; Wes-
ley Graft, National Bureau or Cas-
ualty and Surety Underwriters, and
R. R. Sayers, U. S. Public Health

The appointment was accepted by
Mr.. Kearns with the approval of the
industrial commission, and on the as
surance of v. A. Kimmer, director of
the division of labor standards that
the time necessary for conferences
would offer no serious interference
with his state duties. In his letter,
Mr.. Zimmer says it is the hope of the
division ito persuade other states to
follow the lead of Ohio in setting up
effective accident prevention bureaus
or divisions
The appointment of an Ohio man to
this important national committee,
following closely the recognition given
the state through the naming of Mr..
Kearns as a member of the executive
committee of the National Safety
Council, is looked upon as gratifying
endorsement of Ohio's contribution to
industrial safety.

"a Injunctions
Under Ohio Recovery Act
By A. F. Of L. News Service.

By A. F. of L. News Service.
Columbus, Ohio.-During 1884 the
state courts of Ohio granted 80 tenn
porary injunctions and permanent
injunctions under the state recovery
act Of Ohio, according to summary
of litigation under that state act, pre-
pared by the attorney general of the
state of Ohio.
In all, the attorney general reports,
there were 123 cases involving the
state recovery act during the year,
three Of which were filed to restrain
enforcement Of the act and the rest
filed against alleged violators of the
state act.
Sixteen cases were awaiting trial
on their merits at the close of the
pared by the attorney generals de-
partment. No action had been taken
on 40 cases referred by the attorney
general to county prosecutors, and IL
cases were settled without court ac-
ton.
Two cases were on appeal at the
close of the year, one to the state
appellate court and the other to the
year, all of which had been fully pre-
state supreme court. Of the 80 tenn
porary injunctions granted during the
year, Is were in full force at the end
Of the year.

THE PRIZE WRITE-UP

The ETC last week presented what
ought to be the prize example of util-
tiles write-up. The Electric Power 4
Light Corporation was organized to
take over assets of the Utah Securities
Corporation of the Electric Bond &
Share group. The Utah carried these
assets on its books at a valuation of
$3,854,264. But when transferred to
the Electric P. & L., they were written
up to 33,373,344.
This is almost ten times their orig
inal valution, and not nickel of value
had been added.
The ETC points out two evils re-
sulting from such write ups. When Sc
curities are diluted this way, the whole
capital structure becomes weak and
waterlogged, and the least i'll luck
means disaster. The ETC cites the
case of the Tri- Utilities Corporation,
which went broke; and the preferred
creditors received 312 mills on the
dollar. But another and greatest evil,
the commission believes, is the excuse
which these fantastic valuations give
for high rates.

cur to vehicles not in motion and
speed could hardly. be considered an
important influence in having caused
them. The second group in size is
the injury accidents. The majority of
these are not serious. Usually some
speed may be involved although It
may not be what is termed "high" or
excessive" speed. Considering next
the fatality accidents we find that
they are a smaller group than either
property damage or injury accidents
but we may say that regardless Of
size it is the most serious group.
A seven years experience deVel-
Oped from carefully checked data
shows that in one of our largest
states there is seldom a death in a
collision Of vehicles travelling at 20
miles per hour OF less. Roughly
about IS per cent Of the fatalities
happen to persons in vehicles which
collide while travelling up to As miles
per hour. The majority of the fatal
tiles happen to riders in vehicles
Colliding at speeds in excess of As
miles per hour.
When vehicles collide at moderate
speeds, perhaps no one in the car is
killed even when several may be in
jured. but at high speeds possibly
everyone within the car may be kill
ed. It is this latter type of accident |
which has caused our death rate to ]

PLAZA THEATRE NOTES

The fall season Is bringing many
attractive features to the Plaza The
atre at Milford, and for this and the
following week a line Of pictures
and stage shows are billed that will
class with any playhouse in the
country.
Besides the screen plays the vau-
deville attractions are the finest to
be secured and top-nOtch in every
detail.
On Friday and Saturday of this
week a show direct from the Steel
Pier at Atlantic City where they
have filled summers successful
engagement is the feature.
Aldrich's Hawaiians are the best
of the western entertainers and are
so rated by bOOkers, and this excel
lent troup will be in person at the
Plaza Theatre, October II and IL.
Their show is titled "A Trip to the
Hawaiian Islands" and it is really
a trip to that land Of song, music
and oriental dances. This is the
best troup of Hawaiians on the cir
cult. so don't miss their dreamy,
beautiful music and special features.
Another national faYorite is billed
for Thursday, Friday and Saturday
Of next week, Johnny Marvin, the
lonesome singer Of the air. He has
thrilled the country from coast to
coast with his broadcasts, victrOla
records and stage presentations.
Don't fail to see and hear him in
person at the Plaza, Milford next
week.
The Giant Super Delux High FL
delity Sound System installed at the
Plaza is producing screen shows In
such a natural manner that 1t is at
tracing State attention, as you see
and hear DhOtOplays as you should.
Among the outstanding coming
screen features are Claudette Col
bert in "She Married Her Boss" on
Friday and Saturday. October IL and
70, in conjunction with the Hawaiian
features. A Colbert picture is al
ways out Of the ordinary and this is
no exception.

skyrocket. It has been stated that
fatalities increase in something like
a geometric proportion upward with
the speed Of the vehicle at the time
Of the collision" This fact cannot be
obviated with arguments tending to
confuse the issue. For example,
some who do not desire to have any
control exercised upon their speed
ing tendencies will assert that get
ting on the wrong side of the road" {"
improper passing" cutting in"
improper turning" are more i'm
portant causes of death than speed.
Such arguments are merely the
opinions of their advocates. In prac-
tically every instance where the
above classifications are used to in
dieate cause of accident, none of
these acts such as "getting on the
wrong side of road. improper pass
ing" cutting in." improper turn
ing" etc, would be committed by a
driver did they not primarily origi-
nate out of a desire to hurry, or, in
other words. some form of speed.
In other words, speed is synony-
nous with death. Speed is an ex-
preston of force, and force produces
death in accidents. Sooner or later
an emergency catches up with the
enthusiast. Failure to
meet just one emergency is liable to
spell death.

In savage tribes where skulls are
thick
And primal passions rage,
They have system sure and auiek
To cure the blight Of age,
For when a natives youth has fed
And years have snapped his vim
They simply knock him on the head
And put an end to him,
But we IN this enlightened age
Are built of sterner stuff
And so we look. with righteous rage
on deeds so harsh and rough,
For when a man grows old and gray
And weak and short of breath,
We simply take his job away
And let him starve to death.
