Homes Are Dangerous

IN 1914, there were 1880 acct
" dental deaths and 1850, 900
accidental injuries in the United
States.
Where do you think the greatest
number of deaths and injuries &C.
Cured? No where else but in the
American home, where 30,509 per-
sons were killed and 100000 in
laFed. Motor vehicle accidents
were second, with $500 killed and
$4,000 injured. Occupational acct
dents came third, 1880 killed and
100000 injured.
The figures, compiled by the
National Safety Council, seems to
Indicate that propaganda designed
to make the highways safe for
motorists and pedestrians should
be broadened to include slogans to
convince people that they can be
killed and injured by accidents
within the walls of their homes.

Dutch Farms Flooded

EVERY American is familiar
with the dikes of Holland,
which, for many years, have kept
the waters of the sea from flood
ing the rich agricultural land of
that country.
In desperate effort to halt the
Allied advance, the Germans
blasted many of the bikes. with
the result that one-fourth of Hol-
land has been covered by water
and agricultural experts say that
the land will be corrupted for
years as result.
The Dutch Government has
made it clear that when officials
are able to estimate the total dam
age and the numbers of farms
which have been destroyed, it may
seek territorial compensation from
Germany by requesting areas of
German territory TO provide homes
for thousands of farmers whose
fields have been ruined.

Mothers Day, 1915

SINCE THE YEAR 1907, the
people Of the United States
have been observing the second
Sunday in May as Mothers Day,
with appropriate services in the
churches of the land, where indi-
Viduals are accustomed to COM
memorate holy things.
In 1914, Congress designated the
day which is widely observed in
other countries, as well as our
own. 1t differs from the earlier
celebrations of ancient peoples
whose festivities did not carry the
same sense Of appreciation for in
dividual mothers.
Words of men are incapable of
expressing proper appreciation Of
the, unselfish and devoted life of
good mothers and it is given to
most children to revere and appre-
c;ate their own mother as the
noblest expression of this intimate
human relationship.
Certainly, the day has been COM
I1fercialized in some respects but so
widespread is the recognition of
the fittingness of the occasion that
Mothers Day stands apart from
other days and special occasions.
H will be SO for many years, and
worthily so.
y We will observe Mothers Day
this year with greater apprecia-
ton of mothers whose sons have
gone forth to war. Millions Of
young Americans, engaged in bait
tie, win stop admidst the fighting
ia breathe prayer, and for the
instant forget the slaughter and
sacrifice in memory Of happier
Ways.
1T is well for men to revere
Brotherhood but it is better for
them to honor their own Mothers,
who will be pleased to witness
some expression of a love that
should not be assumed. Let us all
join to make living Mothers con-
scious Of respect and love and to
reverently remember the virtues of
those who have gone on ahead.

AS I write these lines two things
appear as near certainties as GER
tainties exist in this Kaleidoscope
world. The United Nations are sim

sort of structure which, if it is hui
mss4ly possible to do so, can pro-
vide a place for the shelter, care

Lasting about five minutes on the
screen, the suspense is terrific as
three Jap fighter planes attack the
unprotected blimp which Beery has
taken behind enemy lines to rescue
a small party of stranded flyers,

Jap machine guns and a delayed
rescue squadron of American bomb
ers, and it's pretty hard on the
audience-what with Marilyn Max
well still to come.
Miss Maxwell, incidentally, was

New York until / o'clock yesterday

mike trouble to greet her on the
CapitoPS stage. You would never
have guessed either of these two
things, however, from yesterday

1t was quite a battle that destiny
arranged for the hero of 1.-The Keys

the good father is triumphant in
both and the odds are that audi

to achieve his victories. =.
1t is the internal battle with
which the picture is concerned in
it's opening sequences. The first
of the major conflicts is that be-

between his affection for his pretty
childhood sweetheart and the
church as it's celibate servant. He
is a dawdler in such departments
of living and the girl makes the de-
cision by going astray. getting in
volved with another man and dying
in childbirth.
The conflict continues in the SEM
