Clarifying
Yourself
- a AZ -
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer

Once you have made UP your
mind to be a lovlier looking, more
attractive person, It's a good idea
to start the self-improvement cam
paign rather slowly and cautious
ly. Otherwise, you're likely to be-
come bored with the whole business
and stop doing any Of the plan
ned routines.
: For instance, while you may know
good and well that you ought to get
rid Of the excess oil in your hair
do something about the large pores
on your nose, and In addition, lose
a good deal Of weight, it's best to
tackle one problem at a time. II all
at once, you start dieting and ex-
ercising, brushing your hair every
night, getting q weekly scalp treat
ment, using special pore mask on
your nose several nights a week, and
spending about twice as much time
on your face between times as you
used to, you're likely to be weary of
the very thought Of your appear
ance by the end of the first week.
But II you just concentrate on do
ing reducing exercises for fifteen
minutes eevry morning and eating
much smaller portions Of everything
at every meal for one month, then
begin on your hair, improving your
self will seem much less Of bur-
den.
During the second month, keep
on with your exercises and your
diet, and be sure to brush your
hair every night. BY the begin
ming Of the third month, you'll
be enough Of Spartan to be able
to continue the improvement rou-
tines for figure and hair and do
something to improve your face, too
And remember, Of course, that no
routine can be one hundred per
cent effective II you do 1t haphaz-
ardly or only when you happen to
feel like 1t. Regularity is all import
ant. Don't go off" your diet just
because you have company. (You
can make believe that you are eat
ing more than you are). And don't
give up exercises just because you
are q house guest for weekend.
(Do them quietly In your own
room and not even your hostess
will know what you're Up to-
Stick to whatever you start. And
you'll notice results more quickly
than you perhaps think right now.

CLAIMS FILED IN 1887 WITH
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION

A study of the geographical dis
tribution Of injury and occupational
disease claims filed with the Indus
trial Commission of Ohio in 1887,
has just been completed by the sta
tistical laboratory of the Division
of Safety and Hygiene and the fig
ures for this county furnished by
Supt. Thos. P. Kearns, will, no
doubt, be rather surprising to our
readers.
During the year Morgan county
workers filed 154 claims, of which
one was fatal; none caused perma-
nent total disability; three perma-
nent partial disability; Al over sew
en- days lost time; % seven days
or less and 80 cases causing no time
loss but requiring medical atten-
ton. The time lost by employees
by reason Of these accidents was
10,435 days.
The 1887 record for the state as
a whole shows 239,1O3 claims filed. /
These included 1000 fatalities;
four permanent total disabilities;
1852 permanent partial disabilities;
38,543 causing over seven days lost
time; 21,571 seven days or less
and 175,943 medical only cases. The
time lost by all state workers as
result of accidents was 9,15O,175
days.
Based upon the average daily
wage of industrial workers, these
accidents caused an economic loss
in wages alone of at least $20,000,-
900. And assuming as correct the
engineering estimate that the indi-
rect, or hidden cost of accidents is
four times the direct cost, it can be
readily seen that Ohios industrial
accident bill for 1897 reached the
amazing total of 0,000,000.
"When it is considered that at
least 80 percent of these accidents
were preventable by the application
of safety methods and safe prac-
tices,' the head of the division says,
"there is no need for argument that
accident prevention work in Ohio
industry is still crying need in
spite of the steady growth of safety
sentiment on the part of both en-
ployers and employees

SIDE LIGHTS
ON
LOCAL HISTORY
By
Sfasabery Alderman

We now come to one of the mos
important events In connection witt
the history Of the state Of Ohio, tn
first constitutional convention.
st. Clair had been away from th'
territory and on his arrival in For
Pitt, (Pittsburgh) on his way tt
Marietta, he wrote to Samuel Hunt
ington on July 18th, 1902. Hunt
ington was an exceptional man IL
many ways. He came from Connec
ticut, had received fine education
and settled near Painesville, in the
Connecticut reserve, in 1900. As
suggested by ST. Clair he offered
and was elected a delegate to the
convention. He was speaker of the
senate, under the constitution he
helped form, was member of the
supreme court, and governor from
1902 to 1910.
He was known to st. Clair and
was friendly to him and in this let
ter St. Clair says, I'll have not yet
learned how. 1.-The act.. (allowing
the formation of a state) lis relish
ed...nor what steps may have been
taken...." "....I do earnestly wish.
you be sent (to the convention) -.
(as) all the talent (possible) will
be of the first necessit.. many will
be ill qualified to discharge this
trust MY view of the coun-
try's becoming state is not pleas
ing one.." "...The people will accept
without much consideration. lit will
be attended with a burden.t they are
not able to bear...." THE ex-
for five years.. will throw the ex-
pense Upon very few. and add
mortifcation....to many living on
land. whose neighbors are free
from it, "....I know all Hamil-
ton..and Westinghouse majority
of Jefferson. (and) many other
counties are against. 1.-The offer.."
ST. Clair was opposed to state
hood, not from any personal reason,
but because he thought the people
not ready and the provisions of the
act not properly drawn. He was
more than ready to step down from
his position as governor, but was
not ready to hand matters over to
Tiffin and his followers, whom he
thought, and rightly, to be interest
ed only that they might promote
their own interests.
st. Clair stopped at Marietta and
after a conference with his support
ers decided he would make trip
to Cincinnati and make some
speeches along the way and try to
show the people his point of view.
We find his speech at Cincinnati
an exposition Of his side of the
question, logically and eloquently
They had no stenogra-
piers in that day and what we know
of his speeches comes to us from
notes that he made in preparing his
addresses or in letters to his friends
in which he writes what he had |
said, or rather the substance Of it.
l will digress moment here to
say that in the Columbus Dispatch
of Sunday, September 26th, 1887,
there is report Of the finding in
the basement of the state house at
two trunks full Of letters
Of st. Clair's. These were purchas-
ed by the state in 1868, l believe,
and had been laid away and only
we're found again and the nature of
their contents disclosed. This re-
port states them to be personal let
-ers to and from members of his
family, but very likely there will be
found some having some bearing on
he history of the state, and what a
study of them will disclose will be
