Pity The Males! Man-Made Hazards Take Increasing Death Toll in
 Summer Ac-
 tivities.

Just as the golf course has both natural and man-made hazards, so do the summer and the holidays have their natural and man-made hazards, both of which must be guarded against if personal well-be- ing is to be preserved. This warn ing was sounded by William c. Yelling, director of the bureau of vital statistics of the state depart ment of health, speaking in the de- partment's weekly broadcast. More over, from the viewpoint of the statistician, man-made hazards are more dangerous than the woman made type.
 Select any year, MT. Yelling said, and it will be found that far more males are killed by accidents than females. Choosing one year at ran- dom, the statistician stated that in that year 25O males died for each 100 females in Connecticut. In the same year, 80 males were accident ally drowned to 12 females, which makes the sex ration 666 males to 100 females. Probably a great ma jority of accidental drownings are due to carelessness, to an arti- f1cial hazard on the part of an- other in a heroic attempt at rescue. So when starting out for a sail or swim, have a thought for the con- ditions of the weather and don't over estimate swimming ability, he urged.
 The motor vehicle presents a natural holiday hazard although the hazard has been reduced to a minimum by mechanical improve ments, but with excessive speed the natural hazard is replaced by arti- f1cial or man-made dangers, such as forbidden attempts to pass other cars on curves. Not only do state regulations forbid this, MT. We'll ing pointed out, but nature had a law long ago that two things can- not occupy the same place without dire results.
 Other hazards which the statis- tician knows from his records are dangerous for man including smok- ing in bed. As relaxing as this prac- tice may be, it is none the less the cause of at least one death and sometimes several each year. The mattress is ignited and apparently the fumes bring rapid asphyxia- tion fro mwhich the person is not aroused even by the pain of burns. Another hazard is excessive sum- burn which may lead to serious con- sequences, and still others are at- tempted marathon swims before muscles unusued all winter are lim- bered up and diving in shallow wa ter.

Radio Broadcast Of Big" Fight
 Starts One Here


 While Braddock and Louis were ready to begin their fight in Chi cago last night, a miniature battle of the century" was being waged in a local home. The husband had the radio turned on so he could hear the fight, but the wife was tired and wanted to sleep.
 She asked him to turn off the radio. He refused. She asked him to turn it down. He refused. So she turned it off herself.
 The husband slapped her face, the wife kicked him in the shins. Then the two forgot all about D the fight in Chicago and concen- trated on their own shindig.
 The police broke up the battle royal and carted the husband off to jail. This morning in city court the two were warned to lis- ten to fights, not to take part in them, and the husband was given a suspended sentence.
 The bout was called, unofficially, a draw.
