Parents Responsible
 For Many Poisonings
Carelessness Largely Blamed For Deaths Annually of More Than 45O Youngsters Under Five Years of Age

New York-The car. .elessness of American parents is largely respon- sible for the fatal poisoning each year of more than 450 youngsters under five years of age, according to statiticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, who have found from the mortality exper- fence of their company that many accidental deaths of this sort result from taking strychnine, eating cath artic and tonic pills, and drinking kerosene, gasoline, lye' or various acids. One specially gruesome cause of death discovered by the statis- ticians is explained as follows:
 Food prepared with insecticides or other poisonous compounds mis- taken for innocuous liquides, and poitonouS liquids mistaken for water caused several deaths"
 .Hle statisticians declare that he loss of life from accidental poison ing in the American home accounts for about TAO deaths annually, and they estimate that of this number one third is made up of chuldren under five years old, and one sixth of youngsters who are just begin ming to toddle about and will put into their mouths whatever comes into their hands"
 Placing the principal blame up- on the parents for the accidental deaths, because the poison con- taining compounds common to many homes bear the poison" lebel, the statisticians declare that ignor- ance and sheer carlesSneSS in stor- ing the compounds, are mainly re- sponsible for the annual loss of lifo.
 In studying the death records of 298 industrial policyholders who died fro acute accidental poisoning dur ing the years 1934-35, the statistic ians found that 90 were children under five year of age, and 45 of these were in their second year of life. On 84 per cent of the records the manner of poisoning was given, and these are roughly classified as: poisonous substances picked up and consumed by children, poisons mis- taken for medicines and overdoSes of medicines; ignorant use of sub- stituteS for alcohol and fluids mis- taken for alcoholic beverages.
 "Poisonous substances picked up and consumed by children were re- ported most frequently" the statis- ticians say. "There were 82 deaths of this type. Virtually all of these deaths may be charged, fairly. to the carelessness of parents in leav- ing pills and other poisonous agents within reach. Strichnine took the lives of 13 children. Drinking kero- sene caused IS deaths. There were seven deaths from gasoline, benzine and other petroleum products. Lye, oil of wintergreen, hydrochloric and other acids, figure more or less prominently. Insecticides, rat poi sons, and similar compounds con- taining phosphorus or arsenic. as well as undisclosed substances, caused many deaths of children.
 "Mistaking poisonous drugs for medicines or overdoses of medicines containing poisons accounted Tor
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-10-09

7S deaths. Ignorant use of substi- tutes for ethyl alcohol was respons- ible for 3 0deaths, most of which were due to ingesting wood or de- natured alcohol"
 Despite this gruesome situation, it is pointed out that there is an encouraging side of the picture, for the death rate from acute acciden- tial poisonings among the Metro politan industrial policyholders in 1885 was less than half of that reg istered in 1911. The trend of the death rate in recent years, further more, the statisticians explain, has been downward. Comparison of the findings of the study for 1934-35, with one made for the years 1929130 shows relatively fewer deaths in the later period from most of the numerically more important poi sons. "There were many less deaths" the statisticians say, from drink ing substitutes for ethyl alcohol or substances mistaken for it, from bichloride of mercury, strichnine, arsenic, lysol and carbolic acid.
 "But," the statiticians declare, "the number of deaths is still far too high. Education of the general public apparently should be stressed should be made part of the pro- gram of the many home safety crusades being carried on all over the United States"
