The Strangest Accident


"TTOW about fatal accidents?" inquired
i i "Our record is much better" he replied "but
it isn't fair comparison because our men much
more used to work of this kind. We've had six
deaths since the construction of the dam began.
Two were killed over in the quarry.
But it always tragic that anybody should
be killed. We've used every safety device known to
Nobody Is allowed to work on the side of the
dam until inspector has made sure that his safety
belt is fastened, but worker decided to readjust
his in mdair and fell 60 feet.
1.-THE strangest accident had was right
over there where those little cars with concrete
along that track. We've always had man on
guard at that STOP where they dump their load and
his entire Job has been to that nobody got in the
way of the car.
And then one morning he got in the way him
self and knocked down into the gorge. We
couldn't account for that.
Security Is Lost
"VOU know" said the construction man, there's
l. one thing I've noticed jobs of this kind
You get more accidents toward the end than at the
beginning OF course people can say that after
while get careless and forget to take the precau
lions which they did at first
I'm not sure that's true. I've got another theory.
I've watched this at several places, and think
workynen begin TO get hurt knocked off toward
the end of job more frequently than at the start
because they've begun TO worry, Where is my next
job coming from? Where do I go from here?
They begin to get scared. They've lost a sense
OF security and when anybody loses that he isn't
secure in his home that catwalk down there
over the river. It's funny thing"
And So you see, Norris Dam and the IVA
project aren't really socialism at all, because the
best they can provide in the matter of reasonable
hours and good wages is temporary security

MARRIAGE
PROBLEM
BY DAVID p. SENTNER

News SerYicel

LONDON, Sept. 10 QN.SJ.
There is a distinct marriage prob
lem in England where there are
probably more spinSterS in the
making than in any other great
nation.
One English woman in every six
does not marry, according to So
Geological authorities. There are
about two million more women
than men in England and Wales.
There is almost a whole gene
ration missing-men from the ages
of IS to SO yearS-the most eligible
marrying age. This "loSt gene
ration" were the young men be-
tween Is and 80 who were killed
during the World War.
And hundreds of thousands Of
young men who might have mar
ried are manned war veterans. in
the modern army of the mem-
ployed or battling along on few
pounds a week.
Marriages Encouraged
In the totaitarian states of Eu-
rope marriages are encouraged
successfully by the government
through various means.
France, the nation of the sharp
est declining birth rate. has made
intense efforts to make marriages
easy and fashionable.
In Germany, the government
gives a 10-mark monthly allowance
for every child from his fifth year
onward providing the monthly in
come of his parents does not ex-
coed 1876 marks. It is estimated
allowances will be granted to
100000 children this year.
Italy has a stringent bachelor
tax.
This year, the British Post Of
flee is spending $4,000 less on
marriage gratuitieS.
All women are obliged to resign
from the Post Office service when
they marry. They receive a we'd
ding dowry of one months wages
for every year of service. The
gratuity is in lieu of a pension to
which they lose their rights.
However, women (When they do
marry are marrying younger than
previously, an official of the Post
Office told me.
It is another sign that youth is
taking life quickly before some
thing happens.
Stay-atHOme Days Gone
The day has passed when an
English girl stayed at home after
leaving school to help her mother
and wait for marriage.
The vast majority of girls now
want to earn as much money as
men. There are more women en-
ployed this year in England be-
tween 18 and "a years Of age than
ever before. Four out of every five
girls of Is or over are now earning
their own living.
This elimination of the stay-at-
home spirit is due:
To the desire of the modern girl
to have a career like her brothers
and boy friends.
To the necessity for girls to sup
port themselves or to contribute to
the family budget.
To the decline of snobbery.
And to the small chances for
marriage.

manner as to enhance the significance

OF the remainder Of the program
the two most outstanding interpreta-

and Schvedoff's arrangement for the

imitation of an instrument was su-
perbly done. in the Lullaby" creating
drowsy accompaniment for the SIM

sonorous effects that one is accus-
toned to in the piano.

rernembranceS of their country, cnoT'
directors and singers who would learn
something of tone shading from this
expert group, vocalist, basseS and BARI
tone, who envy the resonant depth OF
the Russian voices and music lovers
partial to Slavic art, have a gala day
when Serge Jaroff and his men come
to Constitution Hall.
Undoubtedly no richer quality OF
sound or finer art in interpreting has
ever been the achievement of any other
choral group. The Don Cossacks
stand supreme whether one realizes
that such great resonant voices are
peculiar to the Russian born or not.
And they have preserved the priceless
choral art of their homeland and set
o world standard that other groups
must necessarily try to emulate since
the Russians singing has proved its
appeal to the concert public. The dig
nifty of their programs, the reverence
with which they sing the religious
numbers and the abandon and humor
Of the other selections, all delivered
with artistic finish yet temperamentful
eoloring, has never been equalled by
other organizations.
Sameness In Manner.
Yet hearing them year after year
and through q varied program one
cannot overlook the fact that there is
a great sameness in their manner of
interpreting. For the past two sea-
sons Mr.. Jaroff has apparently spe-
cialized in pianissimo effects with little
contrast offered them except the other
extreme of fortiSSimo. The occasions
when a mezzo forte was sung yesterday
were only few. yet it is in this in
between volume that the real beauty
Of the voices is heard. One heard it
In the History of S. Jarof and his
Don Cossack Chorus" by Schvedof,
In THE Old Corporal by Gogotsky
and Jaroff's arrangement Of 1.-TWO
White Russian Songs" and the "Don
Songs" which usually conclude the
program.
But whatever the amount Of volume,
the marvellous play Of vocal harmony
was the same. The darker voices re-
main the finest both in sorority and
texture and their deep tones re-
sonated through the hall with velvety
smoothness. The way in which the
swelling amplitude of sound Is &C
complished, the splendid length OF
phrase and many minor yet superbly
artistic effects are the inimitable
characteristics of their work.
Not only is Mr.. Jaroff's fine under
standing of tonal color to be recog-
nized in the ensemble singing, but
also in his choice of SoloistS. There
may be but a measure or two for .
solo voice, but the quality Of the
chosen performer apparently Is the
first consideration for 1t carries out
the idea perfectly, even when q So
prano is needed. There were several
new voices among the group that have
become familiar through yearly ap-
pearances, and one of the finest was
heard in the opening number, 1.-THE
Responsary," by Gretchaninoff.
Throughout this first group Of re-
hgiouS songs, the kind Of singing that
has made famous the choirs of the

Well, this week guess I've got
the best of ye, Ed. I'm late with
this writing and he can't get to

anything like that. Boats, de-
stroyers, fishing smacks, tugs,
battleships, boat catchers, wha1ers
and every other kind of craft
that floats on water, had me ga-ga
for the first half day. I didn't
have enough eyes to see as much
as I wanted to. Somehow, I ex-
pected San Diego to be about the
size of Phoenix, but darned If I
didn't ride for two hours and didn't
go the length of this place. You
could put ten cities the size Of

On her trai. anyway, like big
game hunter OH the trail of big
lion - only there in the water, no
whale tracks were left.
On the seventh day the killer
boat got close enough to fire the
harpoon, but not accurately-the
harpoon going through the neck.
Although it wasn't mortal wound
the charge held. Daisy" wild
with rage started through the
ocean at full speed dragging the
large steel boat at a speed of 8
knots an hour with the engines in
reverse. Her mate tried every
way to save her as she was dying
and her spout about to go under
water where she would drown they
noticed her head thrown high In
the air. Her mate had dived un-
der her and lifted her up out Of
the water. After she was tied
alongside the killer boat he still
tried to free her at a risk Of his
own life. The captain fired a
bomb near him and when the mate
whale SHE'D away the boat got
quickly away from the scene.

AS soon as the whale was docked
ten trained morticians got busy
with their long needles and scaples
to penetrate every four inches Of
the body Of Daisy with a new fluid
worked out by the noted chemist,
Jack Montgomery. This fluid kills
