That accidents-not disease
are the single leading cause of death
among children. Every year 10000
boys and girls under 20 years old
die in accidents. Most of these deaths
could have been prevented.
Accidents take as many lives from
to IA year old children as pneu-
monia. diarrhea enritis, measles,
diphtheria, meningitis, poliomyelitis,
whooping cough and scarlet fever
combined.
In 1914, 5000 children under 5
years old died from accidents in
homes: 1000 burned to death from
hot liquids, matches, stoves, fire.
places; and 1900 died from mechani-
cal suffocation, and 700 from poison.
The other 1000 deaths resulted
from miscellaneous causes, includ-

CITY REPORTS BIG
LOSS in REVENUE

Wilmington's municipal govern
ment in the fiscal year starting
Tuesday will have 500, 600 less
revenue than in the same period a
year ago.
That was revealed yesterday at
the city hall. The loss in the rev.
enue m from three sources,
it was learned although officials
admitting that fact, declined to be
quoted.
City officials said that the rev
enue loss means either an increas-
ed tax rate Or a general cutting
down in expenses in all depart
ments.
The losses are the capital re-
serve fund totaling $83,240, the
$67, 376 in surplus which was left
cve~ from the 1946-47 budget and
$50, 900 in ABC store revenues.
The $83, 240 capital eserv fund
was used the last IL months in
purchasing new equipment for var
ious city departments. The $780,
900 loss from the ABC stores is due
to smaller state taxes collected
from such stores throughout North
Carolina.
