Mortality Occupational mortality casts a shadow on the prevailing improve ment in the economic picture, the statisticians point out, for the 18,OOO occupational deaths which occurred among the general population in 1856 not only represent an increase Of 1,500, in number, or g per cent, as compared with 1885, but establish the worst record for tional deaths of any year during the last five.
 Among the industrial policyhold- CTS of the metropolitan, the condi- tions are no better than among the general population. In 1886, as com pared with 1885, a rise of 16.9 per cent in the occupational death rate was recorded among adult white male policyholders. In 1886 the death rate from this cause among insured male adults was 25.6 per 100000, while in 1885 the rate was 2l.9. Despite this marked increase, the statisticians point out that the 1886 rate was far below the rate of 35.9 deaths per 100000 recorded for 1929, the last year of full busi- ness activity.
 Death Rate
 ForeSeeing continued rise in the occupational death-rate, the statisti- clans says;
 Since employment last year, par ticularly in certain hazardous in- dustries - construction, transporta- ton, public utilities-was still much below the 1929 level, it is fairly cer- tain that, as employment picks up further in these industries, the oc- cupational accident rate will rise to a higher figure than was recorded in 1936."

It Gives You Away

The automatic snitch is quite a | device.
 Everytime you leave the cell house you go through one of the things.
 Every time you leave the recrea- tion yard to go into the bigger en- closure where the work buildings are you go through another one.
 If you have any metal on you, the snitch gives you away.
 "Buz, buzz," say the snitch, and the guards shake you down and find out what kind of metal you have.
 Each snitch has two seel boxes about two and one-half feet apart. You walk between them.
 A hookup of magnetism and elec- tricity sets off the buzzer, when any metal comes along.
 I have seen them strip a man to his skin when buzz sounds as he goes through. They keep searching him. working on the machine and sending him through until the buz- zinlg stops.
 It took them three days to get things lined up for me to go to work.
