A 4-year-old girl lost tooth and
suffered cut lips when she pretended
she was an airplane and crash
landed off the bed.
This is what caused one expert to
say: "If a safety campaign would
only make possible a rs per cent de-
crease in home accidents during 1947
it would mean saving of SO lives.
The program would be a success If
eveR one human life is saved"
Nor is it necessary to go back to
last year. ..-.
Eight home accident fatalities
were reported last week, making a
total of 13 fatal accidents since the
first of the year.
Falls Kill Five.
Five of last weeks deaths were
due to falls, an infant was suffocated
in bedclothes, a 36-year-old man
died of carbon monoxide poisoning
and a 39-year-old woman was
asphyxiated by Illuminating gas.
Hospitals cared for 81 .non-fatal
home accidents during the week. A
two-year- boy who ate six of the
pills his grandmother takes to re-
leve high blood pressure is still
under observation at Gallinger Hos
pital.
Providence Hospital treated baby
who suffered frostbitten fingers
while sleeping near an open window.
Two youngsters who drank a bottle
of disinfectant also were treated. At
Children's Hospital a dry-cleaning
tag was removed from a girls
throat.
Adults in accidents included a girl
who set fire to her hair with a hot
plate and woman who fell while
arranging a sandbox for her pet
kitten.
A breakdown of last weeks acei-
dents shows "a injured in falls, Is
cut and seven poisoned. Six suf-
fered burns and there were 13 mis-
ceilaneous cases.
Conducted annually to bring about
care that would prevent home ac-
cidents, the Red Cross survey dis
closed that home fatalities far ex-
ceed the total of all other acci-
dental deaths in the District.
In explaining this to stress the
need for safety campaign, the re-
port refers to figures released by the
Bureau of Vital Statistics. These
figures show that in 1916 only II
persons, such as painters or elec-
tricians, lost their lives in connec-
ton with their occupations. Other
accidental deaths outside homes
here were caused by motor vehicles
and drowntngs.

rs Capital Veterans
OF the 29th Division
Hold Yearly Banquet

About 125 Washington members of
the Goth Division Association
gathered at the Hotel Statler last
night for their annual banquet.
For the veterans who served with
the 29th in two world wars, it was
an evening of food, entertainment
and informal talk, unmarked by
any principal speakers" as Sam
Barrow, master of ceremonies and
past national commander of the
group, said.
Most of those present were men,
bers of Washington Post No. 90,
which sponsored the dinner, but
representatives of Virginia and
Maryland posts also were there.
It was he 29th that picked up
National Guard units from the Dis
trict, Maryland and Virginia, trained
them and then went overseas to
make the initial Omaha beach in
vasion on D-Day in Normandy.
Thomas A. Shorter, 30, 1856 Fiji
teenth street NV, was one Of the
men who joined Company F of the
115th Regiment-the old Hyattsville
company-in May, 1941, and stayed
with the division until it met the
Russians on the Elbe.
At the dinner last night Mr..
Shorter told how his company OF
lis landed on D day and two
months later, after the battle of
st. Lo, had a strength of only IS
men. Mr.. Shorter was given COM
mission on the field after that battle.
A short time later, at Brest, he
was wounded and hospitalized for
three months. After that, he re-
jcined his unit and made the slow
trip through the Rxhr pocket, up
the Rhine Valley, across the Rhine
and eventually to the Elbe.
Frank Lupac is commander Of the
District post, which has about $50
members. An enlisted man in World
War I, he served in the Southwest
Pacific as a chief warrant officer
with the Seabees during World
War II. Also present were James
M. Stevens, department commander
of the District. and John Brown of
Richmond, national commander of
the association.

Being Home More Dangerous
ThonWorking, Survey Shows
BY Horry Lever

because a few simple precautions
would minimize their occurrence.
Stairways should be kept clear of
articles and well lighted. If the old
and infirm have occasion to use
stairWays there should be handrails.
Outside steps should be kept clear OF
ice and snow. There should be a
lamp next to the bedside of i'll or
elderly people who may arise fire.
quently during the night. And every
measure must be taken to keep en-
tangling electric cords off the
floor. One of the last deaths re-
ported last year was that of an old
man who broke his hip when he
tripped on such cord.
Trips on Rug.
Misplaced furniture and loose rugs
are frequent causes of falls. One
man slipped on a scatter rug and as
he fell his head struck the edge of
typewriter table. He went to the
hospital with conclusion.
Even the back yard can be unsafe.
The report tells of woman who
was cut when she tripped over a
bottle which shattered. A man fell
out of tree which he was pruning.
Fourteen people fell from yard fences
and rs were cut by broken glass or
wood splinters. Nineteen fell from
straight ladders and a considerable
number fell out of windows facing
the yard while hanging curtains.
Ordinary precautions could have
prevented a large number Of general
accidents which occurred during
1916. Rats bit 80 persons and rs cut
their hands with butcher knives.
Forty slashed themselves with razor
blades and 63 stepped on nails. Ihir-
ty-nine were punctured by needles.
One woman placed a needle in her
dress while sewing and then ran into
door, forcing it into her body.
Hospital microscopes were kept
busy searching for scores of safety
pins which all ages swallowed. Other
persons were hit on the head by OBJ
jects which fell from shelves and one
woman stabbed herself with an ice
pick while trying to repair a salt
shaker.

An elderly woman was descend
ing the stairs from the second floor
Of her house to the parlor where
her grandson was playing. AS she
smiled down at him her attention
was diverted. She did not notice
the child's toy fire engine which
had been placed carelessly on the
steps.
Suddenly she tripped over the toy
and plunged 'headlong down the
rest of the stairs. An ambulance
doctor pronounced her dead of a
fractured skull, another victim of
preventable fall which was the
leading killer in home accidents
here last year.

DARNELlS DEFEAT
 SITkAN5; MOOSE
 WIN OVER pANAM
SCORES LAST NIGHT
Darnells A; Conway Dock "A Moose 40; Pan American 34

The Darnells, playing in a style to which they have previously shown themselves unaccustomed last night took on some stiff com petition in the Conway Dock team from Sitka and walked off the floor with the honors.
 The boys from Sitka, all ex- perienced ball players, were strange to the gym, and couldn't sink their shots. They played hard, clean game, but set plays didn't work and Darnells called almost every turn
 Jack McDaniels went on shoot ing spree for Darnells, and sank a total of 19 points during the game His teammate Hickey was behind with 10, and Harold Donnelly of Sitka made 8.
 Sitka Takes Lead
 Sitka took an early lead in the first quarter, but they soon lost it as McDaniels began sinking shots one after another. It was evident that the Conway Dock men were good ball players for the most part, but they didn't know their way around the Juneau High gym By the time they were ready to go to work they were tired out from chasing Darnells around. And anyway, Darnells had quickly piled up an imposing lead which they kept on building up.
 At the end of the first quarter the score stood at II for Darnells to for Sitka. And in the second period the Conway Dock team was able to sink only one filed goal and one foul shot for three points, while Darnells sank 20 points on nine field goals and two foul shots. I've never seen Darnells play like this" someone commented at hali time, with the score standing at 2s to IA. Darnells men had played bang-up ball the entire first half and had a lead that any team would have a hard time overcom- ing. The question was whether they could keep playing the second half like they had the fiys:-and Dar- nells proved they could.
 Thirt: Period
 In the third period, Sitka was held to two field goals for four points, while Darnells went on to garner another 13 points on one

foul shot and six field goals.

ioui SIloI ana SIX field goals.
 The fourth period saw Darnells slow down considerably, perhaps getting tired, but certainly with the game in the bag, Sitka picked up somewhat, but they looked very tired. Bud Brown played hard game all the way, though he could not seem to hit the bucket. Neither could Harold Donnelly, although he proved himself one of the fastest men on the floor at dribbling.
 The Conway Dock men sank six points in the final period, to three foul shots for Darnells. Sitka made a last period comeback, but their shots were off and the plays didn't slick as they were meant to.
 In game marked by good spirits and hard play in combination, there were Is fouls called against Darnells, and II against Conway Dock
 This evening the Sitka team will meet Juneau High school in the gym in what should be even stiffer competition than last night.
 Moose Take PAA
 The preliminary game last eve- ming saw the Moose take the lead all the way through the first half and into the third period, only to have Pan American, in a second half comeback, threaten to take the game away from them in the final minutes,
 The Moose squad had everything their way the first half, as PAA seemed almost dead on their feet and unable either to keep control of the ball or to hit their basket when they had it.
 PAA made but two field goals in the first quarter for four points, and two foul shots in the second period for two points. Meanwhile the Moose sank IA points in the opening quarter, and another Il in the second Fqoberg was the fastest man on the floor during that half and raked in l3 points for the Moose during the two periods.
 It looked at half time as though PAA was goner, headed for the low end of a lopsided score. II stood at 25 to 6 at the beginning of the third period. Then Hart field, Wilson and Rollison began to find the range of the basket
 The score for the third quarter ran just about nip and tuck, witf II points for the Moose and l2 fol PA, to bring the score to 3t against IS. It still looked as though the Moose had the game in tht bag; and as 1t finally turned out they did. But Pan American didn't think so.
 Final Peri0d
 In the final period, PA started playing basketball. and reeled oil score after score, while holding the Moose almost at a sandstill. PA men sank l6 points while the Moose got four. and when the final horr sounded, a PAA man went up te the bench and iokingly asked fol another five minutes to play. The Moose won the game, all right; but in another five minutes maybe they would have lost 1t. a4
 High scoring man of the game was Floberg for the Moose, with 1a point. followed by Wilson of PAA and Vuille of the Moose who had II apiece. There were r fouls called against PAA, and 12 against the Moose. Rollison of Pan Ameri- can was called out of the game in the last period on too many fouls
