NICE ASKS LEHMAN
RALLY GOVERNORS
Farley Suggested to Find
"Remedy" for Court RuI-
ing on N. R. A.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, June l.-Terming the
Supreme Courts N. r. A. ruling prob
ably as important" as the Dred Scott
decision affecting slavery, Marylands
Republican Governor, Harry w. Nice,
today proposed that Gov. Herbert j.
Lehman of New York call . confer
ence of all State executives to seek
"a remedy"
He telegraphed the suggestion to
the Al other Governors. He made 1t
clear he had not consulted Gov. Leh-
man beforehand. and in q special
message to the New York Democratic
executive said: II do hope you will
not consider me presumptuous in this
action. and further hope that you
will see your way clear to take the
initiative in this important matter"
Nice said he had no plan to put
forward at this time to meet the sit
uation resulting from the sweeping
away of the N. r. A. codes, preferring
to leave the problem for all the Gov
ernors to thresh out at a meeting lat
some centrally located point"
Biloxi Conference Cited.
He said he felt some action should
be taken as "expeditiouSly as possible. u
He had no comment on a suggestion
of Gov. Johnston of South Carolina
that the matter be taken up at the
Governors conference at Biloxi, Miss,
June 1915.
His telegram to the other Governors,
copy going to Gov. Lehman. follows
1.-The Supreme Court decision in the
N. r. A. cases is probably as important
| and far reaching as that of the Dred
Scott case. Every commonwealth In
the United States Is directly or indi-
rectly affected. Would it not be the
part of wisdom for the Governors OF
the various States to hold a confer
ence at some centrally located point
to discuss ways and means to supply
a remedy?
II suggest that the calling Of such
a conference be made by Gov. Lehman
Of New York. and if this meets with
your approval. and you think the idea
worth while, kindly contact Gov. Leh-
man.
This is done on my own initiative
without consultation with Gov. Leh-
man. and might be considered as pre-
sumptuous. but my only thought Is tc
be of some aid in this rather unset
tied moment"

Too late, now, mother. Janice will

bad falls are the causes Of most home
accidents. Take a typical example,
the case of Grandpa Smith: The
children used to laugh at him. He
looked funny, they thought. Maybe
it was his excess dignity. Perhaps it
was the way he tapped fussily with
his cane before trusting his weight to
the loose rug at the head of the
stairs. Youth has so little patience
with infrmity.
IRON time to time grandpa, who
llmped rather badly because of his
rheumatism, complained about that
loose rug at the head of the stairs.
He was afraid of it. His son John
humored him, said he would speak to
Mary about it. Yes, it would be tackled
down soon-or something, Mary
agreed vaguely. She would fix it,
well-tomorrow for sure! Right now
she wanted to speak to the children
about laughing at their grandfather.
Something would have to be done
about that.
The rug is fixed now. The elderly
gentleman doesn't worry about it any
more. Queer, the way his neck had
looked when they picked him up at
the foot of the stairs: he seemed to
be looking over his shoulder at the
spot where the rug had been. Deaths

tombstone there should have been in

ness and my daughter-in-law's pro-
crastination."
In such fashion. says Mr.. Bondy.
will probably occur many of the $4,000
fatalities which are scheduled to re-
suit from falls in the home this year.
All that Is necessary is for history to
repeat itself. It is interesting to note
that folks IS years Of age or over will
he numbered among two-thirds of the
deaths occurring from this type Of
accident. It is more important to
note that all types of falls can be
prevented. Make small rugs secure:
keep steps in repair, well lighted and
guarded with railings; remove small
objects left underfoot, for they can
cause serious injury; equip bathtubs
with hand grips and suction mats.
Burns and scalds in the home claim
almost as many lives as falls. They
occur most frequently to children un-
der Is years. A common situation
takes place something like this:
Mother is extremely busy in the
kitchen. Three-year-old Janice tags
around after her. trying to measure
step for step. Mother smiles at the
child lovingly, but a little absently-
there is lot to be done this morning.
Janice gets In the way occasionally.
But at least she is right under mothers
eyes and can neither get into mischief
nor hurt herself.
But wait! How about that tea
kettle singing SO merrily on the stove?
The handle projects a trifle over the
pipe surrounding the jets. A rather
dangerous situation, sure enough. Still,

time she watches over the child. Moth

When Halloween rolls around next
Thursday, Washington and most other
parts of America will notice conttn-
ued drift away from the old-time
ribald and rowdy celebration OF the
holiday. Many jittery householders

Many medicines which are entirely

and otherwise used according to di-

THE gun that isn't loaded" kills
many children and adults each year.
These deaths result from the thor

in a gun which is temporarily not in
use, from failure to- ascertain if the
weapon is loaded Immediately after
picking it up. and from leaving it
within the reach OF children.
Remove all shells from firearms

Cuts and scratches are suffered by
countless people in the home every
year. Children are most susceptible
to this type 81 injury. Some Of these
accidents cause only inconvenience.
