Little Respect for Life

This is queer sort of war
they're fighting in Shanghai. Even
the most seasoned foreign veter-
ans in this city that has changed
overnight from a cosmopolitan into
a barbaric one, are treated to daily
surprises.
LIFE is CHEAP
In the first place, there's precious
little respect for human life. And
by human life I mean civilian
life, for the fighting men Of Japan
and of China are fatalistic auto
nations.
But no war has ever been fought
in France, Ethiopia or in Spain
where less consideration has
been shown for the hapless non
combatant.
Perhaps it's because China has
400, 000, 900 persons. Perhaps it's
because the birth-rate is so tremen.
dous that for centuries wars, fam.
inc and pestilence have decimated
the population and kept it from
getting completely out Of hand by
sheer force of numbers.

sometimes still do. If what has

FARM, HOME HAVE
MOST ACCIDENTS

IF you were to live on a heavy
traffic corner in a big city, it would
he hard for you to believe that
the bedroom in which you lay
vainly trying to sleep while auto
mobiles hooted on the corner, was
less safe than the busy traffic lane.
If you live on a farm you con-
slider your cool barn a safer place
than the machine room of the city
factory where lathes and belts
whirr all day long.
But in both instances you are
wrong. Public attention, concen
trated on automobile deaths and
injuries, is being directed by the
American Red Cross to the fact
that accidental deaths in the home
claim a greater annual toll Auto
mobile fatalities last year for the
nation numbered $1,000; while peo-
pie killed by accidents in their
homes totalled $500. Safety drives
in industries and utilities have re-
duced accidents until the deaths
last year were 1890 while on the
farm, where safety is only now be-
ing taught by the Red Cross, the
annual death toll was .4,50O.
The bedroom is shown by safety
experts to be the most dangerous
room in the house, largely due to
falls and walking in the dark. On
the farm, machinery causes the
greatest number of accidental
deaths, with injury by animals
ranking second.
The Red Gross launched it's third
annual home and farm accident
prevention campaign this fall. More
than ten million check lists show
ing hazards were carried home by
school children, including members
of the Junior Red Cross. Parents
were asked to check these lists
against conditions which might exist
and from which accidental death
or serious injury might result if
repairs were not made, or caution
observed. This widely acclaimed
safety program is one of the many
services of the Red Gross supported
through its annual roll call for
members conducted by chapters
and their branches in $4,000 COM
munities
