Accident Deaths Show
Increase During 1910

New York City (ILNS) Metropol-
itan Life Insurance Company statisti-
clans estimate at $4,000 deaths from
injuries in the United States in 1910,
or nearly $500 more than in 1889.
A statement issued by the company
said the estimated total for 1910 re-
versed the downward trend in acci-
dent fatalities prevalent since 1887,
and added that the record was "espe-
cially disappointing in view of the
conservation Of manpower now needed
for national defense"
Each of the major classes of acci-
dents has shared in the general in
crease. The greatest proportionate
increase was shown in occupational
accidents. Deaths resulting from au-
tomobile accidents will reach about
34,500 or 1000 more than last year,
but 5000 fewer than in 1887.

oil from the pores, and this oil acts
as lubricant and polish and when
brushed into the hair gives it higher
luster.

For Better HOmemaking

If you have no better luck growing
plants indoor than l do, try keeping
that fresh spring look about your
house by growing vines. A budding
sweet potato kept in water, carrot or
parsnip make delightful vines. Of
course there is nothing nicer than ivy
and you are fortunate if you can cut
it from your garden wall 1t will
grow equally as well in water as in
dirt, but if grown in water, it will
grow lovelier if kept in glass contain
ers. Try training your vines over
wire trellis made by bending coat
hangers into any desired shapes. Place
the hook end either into the vase neck
or in the potted plant. If the vine
will not hold by simple twining around
the wire, hold it in place by tiny strips
of adhesive tape. Sweet potatoes will
grow vine of unusual length and
these may be taped across the window
or wall festoon fashion.
