HOW TIME FLIES

No need telling citizens that time flies Everyone who
sees the rapid approach of Christmas knows it. This thing
they call the flight of time" doesn't much to the
younger generation but to those who have reached their
tieh milestone it is well established fact and not
altogether pleasant either. They understand
why nature didn't turn things around and make the youth
full shorter and the years of manhood longer
es span would to be broader though would
not be.
But time marches on and here Christmas again.
with ready for it, of But from there
will be increasing activity all sides and noticeable pick
up in buying and preparing for it, There should be
need of caution to buying and spending wisely The
financial pinch during the past few years has taught this
lesson But it always advisable to suggest that every
dollar spent Christmas be spent in economical way
Make it just far possible and make others
in the community, too by spending it here at home You
only helping to make strangers Christmas hap
pier when send your dollar to distant point but
you Frightening the holiday for your neghbors when it
is spent here in your community.
Bankers say each dollar settles ten dollars worth of
obligations for at least ten people handle every dollar be-
fore into boarding is put into savings
permanent investment Figure that out and you will
quickly understand how much happiness your Christmas
dollar will bring when it is spent right here at home.

Accidents in Homes Take as Large a
Toll as on the Highways of Nation
Spectacular Publicity Given Automobile Crashes Divers
Public Attention From Equally Serious
Household Accidents

"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 received in home
accidents as in those received in in
dustry," DR.. R. H. Riley, director of
the State Department of Health, said
recently, in urging better precautions
in the countless 'little" things that
make for safety and greater attention
to the necessary safeguards in the
home.
sour records show that deaths from
accidents now occupy sixth place as
causes of death in Maryland; and that
one out of every fifteen deaths that
occur in the State is due to injuries
received in an accident of some sort.
There were 1,421 deaths from acct
dents recorded in the State last year.
Injuries received in automobile and
other motor vehicle accidents were
responsible for 500 of these deaths
and larger number were due to in
juries received in home accidents.
Falls which take the heaviest toll in
home accidents were responsible for
S55 deaths Burns which have second
place in home hazards, caused 90
deaths. The real significance of such
totals is more apparent 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 bet
ter care had been exercised.
Gust how careless and thoughtless
many of US are inclined to be is
