.H0W b 7Nk& Il BATH mNL|VG
by LOUIS !. DUBLIN, PHI. p.
Third Vice President ond Stotitieon
Metropolitan Life inwrones Company

LAST year 100000 Americans were killed
or injured in the bathroom.
This represents an economic waste of
- many millions of dollars annually
And it drives home the point that the bath
room is an excellent place to be careful, for
few of these accidents need have happened.
How do they occur? Glance at the records
New York A 67-year-old banker stepped
under the shower and reached for the cold
water faucet. BY mistake, he turned on the
hot, and the shock of the scalding spray
knocked him over. He died from his injuries.
Chattanooga - The wife of college presi-
dent, feeling cold coming on, decided to
take a hot bath before retiring. 1t being raw
Fall day, she placed an electric heater on
nearby clothes hamper. When the heat be-
came too intense she reached out to turn it
around The maid found her electrocuted in
the tub, with the heater, which had fallen
against her, still going.
Albany - Just after midnight judge pre-
pared for bath. Some hours later his wife
found his lifeless body in the tub. his head
under water He had been subject to dizzy
spells.
Philadelphia - A broker with a 'kink" in
his shoulder got into hot bath and applied
an electric vibrator to the sore spot. He was
killed instantly.
Chicago mother was bathing her in
fant when the telephone rang. A ve-year-old
daughter. left to watch the baby, turned on
the water and the infant was drowned.
Just a smattering of bathroom mishaps -.
but probably enough to emphasize the truth
that Carefulness ought to rank just as close
to Codliness as Cleanliness.
We like to believe that the daily bath is a
typical American institution rejecting the
superiority of our way of life. Certainly in no
other land is the possession and use of the tub
50 general; yet when we indulge our desire for
super-cleanliness carelessly, we pay for it in
more ways than one.
The home is one of the most dangerous
places on earth - and the bathroom con-
tributes greatly to these risks. Traffic deaths
are recognized as serious problem - but
did you know that last year in both the State

FOREIGN TOUR
FOR AUSTIN
APPROVED
BY J. EARLE MOsER

William L. Austin, director Of
the Census for the past several
years, is more than pleased with
q recent decision of Acting Comp
troller General Richard N. Elliott,
which allows him to proceed with
his plans for advancing efficiency
of the Census until it has no equal
for such an institution through
out the world.
The decision, rendered June IS
but revealed yesterday, allows Di-
rector Austin to dispatch a Census
representative to the annual meet
ing of the International Statistical
Institute, scheduled for late Sep
tember in Athens, Greece, despite
the fact that the convention is
outside the borders of the United
States.
Through Commerce Secretary
Roper, the Census official told
General Accounting Office that ''it
is believed valuable information
with respect to the possible i'm.
provement of census taking and
general statistical methods will
result" from sending someone to
the confab, but doubt was ex-
pressed whether the sum of $1,000
carried in the Census appropriation
could be used for a foreign trip.
Mr.. Elliott replied, however, that
it would be all right as long as
not more than $1,000 was spent
for the purpose.
Today Director Austin said it
hasn't been decided who will make
the tour, but added:
81 may go myself"

Correction-In a recent article

Commission, it wa inadvertently
stated that political indorse-

records kept of employees by the

however, that the unit has moth
