BY JOHN III. CASSAD4, IN.
TIME brilliantly hued poinsettia,
used by Yuletide greeting-card
makers as freely as English
u inns, holly, Christmas trees or
even Santa Claus himself, is far
ahead of all competitors in the field
Of Americas favorite Christmas flow
ers. according to local growers.
This plant, they say, with its strik-
ingly beautiful scarlet and green head
is becoming more popular every year
as a Christmas season decoration.
They estimate minimum of $4,000
will be used this season in Wash
ington homes, schools and churches.
Though comparatively brief, the
history of the poinsettia as a recog-
nized flower is interesting. A native
of Mexico, it was introduced into
cultivation here by Joel Robert Poin-
sett, American Minister to Mexico
from 1925 to 1929. from whom the
flower takes its name. Northerners
who think of the flower as potted
plant are generally surprised to find
it blossoming profusely in the open
in many tropical countries Even in
such sub-tropical regions as Florida,
Texas and Southern California, it
is as common a flower as the tulip
or the iris of Northern climes.
CycIamen Next FavOrite.
The cyclamen plant, with its white
speckled green leaves and red OF
pink flowers, offers the poinsettia
its greatest competition as the fa-
vorite Yule plant, say the growers
and florists. Here again, the red and
green-favorite Christmas colors-are
dominant.
Another interesting Christ m S
flower is the crown of thorns plant,

ACCIDENT TYPES
OF j. s. STUDIED
Health Service Furthering
Presidents Program of
Cutting Toll.

In furtherance of the program OF
President Roosevelt to reduce the an
nual American accident toll, the Pub
lie Health Service has undertaken
Nationwide survey of the extent and
economic cost of all types of accidents.
The material is being obtained as
a part of the national health 1nven-
tory, now being conducted by the
service with P. w. A. funds, 1t was
announced yesterday by Miss Joseph
Inc Roche. Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury in charge of public health.
The President recently authorized
the Secretary of Commerce to call
an early conference to determine
means of reducing the national toll
of deaths and injuries from accidents.
In taking this action, the President
asserted that accidents constitute one
of our gravest problems.
Current Statistics.
Secretary Roper, in undertaking the
national safety work, pointed out that
the securing of necessary current
statistics Is the first step to be taken,
and indicated that the Public Health
survey will provide information hav-
ing a vital bearing on the safety
program.
While the fields of occupational and
motor vehicle accidents have been
covered in previous collections of
accident statistics, the health inven-
tory will provide the first adequate
data as to the prevalence of home
accidents, the Treasury Department
explained.
The National Safety Council has
estimated that 34,500 people were
killed by home accidents in 1884, a
total second only to the toll of motor
vehicle accidents. 1t is estimated that
more than 10000 people were dis
abled permanently as a result of home
accidents and that more than 5.o0O.-
900 were temporarily disabled. Such
accidents included falls, burns, ex-
plosionS, cuts, asphyxiation, poisoning
and electrical shocks.
Records to Be Made.
Enumerators now engaged in house
toulouse canvaSsing of more than
100000 families in 10 States will re-
cord all accidents suffered in such
families, it was announced. The COM
piled data will indicate the frequency
of various types of accidents in cities,
small towns and rural areas, among
families of varied economic levels.
Learning all the necessary facts Is
the first step toward solving the prob
lem of home accidents" Miss Roche
said. They are costly to the COM
munity, but their cost falls largely
upon the victims and their families
rather than upon an industry or other
specific agency.
Records are silent about the break
ing up Of homes when accidents dis
able men and women in the prime of
life. We have no witnesses to the
cruel burden on the disabled bread
winner or of the sacrifices made by
relatives.
"It is our hope to provide this in
formation through the Public Health
inventory. With this material at hand
we will be in a better position to de-
termine both the seriousness and the
cause of such accidents and to meet
the problem, as the problem of occu-
pational accidents is now being met"

been maintained at a strength of 20
per cent of the enlisted strength of
the Navy, q radio established, but not

recommended by the General Board.
"As new construction brings the
Navy nearer to treaty strength, the
increase III naval activities makes
greater demands on the Marine Corps,
which can only be met II appropria-
tiors are made permitting the increase
of enlisted personnel in proportion to
that of the Navy" The present
strength of the Marines is 10000 en-
listed men.
Gen. Russell revealed that the Fleet

at Quantico, Va, is now about 5000
