■ 20,000 PERSONS 1 KILLED YEARLY 1 IT INDUSTRIES - ft NS) — ‘B Hartford, Conn. - According to n | survey by *»•* VlU** State* I vmnh.v.es' Compensation Coin miss ion. 1 m 0 e 'titan 20,000 persons are killed 1", industrial accidents each year I The mishaps that result in that I toll of human life front our lnI Ulistriul wars- and the lesser injuries I tjiat also occur cost the people of the I , nll ed States approximately ten bilH non dollars annually. |IIS , as preventative measures are ■ being advocated constantly to outlaw I w)r ami thus save a tremendous loss I in lifl . so can preventative measures I |,e taken to reduce industrial ncelI dents, the survey pointed out. A re--1 9f .arch hy The Travelers insurance I Company into more than 70.000 inI dust rial accident cases disclosed that I H v per cent of the total were prevent- , IHH able. Prevention Principles • Th*‘ recognition and application of I sound accident prevention principles I would make possible within a few ■ years a 50 per cent reduction in the I Industrial-accident frequency in this I count tv and an estimated saving of I five billion dollars annually," the research report said. nighty-eight per cent of the causes ■ of industrial accidents are said to he ■ supervisory and 10 per cent physical, ■ both within the power of the employ■er and employees to correct. This an- ■ alysis shows that unaviodable acciI dents constitute only 2 per cent of I the industry’s wasteful toll. In addition to the 20,000 killed yearI ]y. there are 1,627 permanently,dis- ■ aided, 100.000 with permanent partial I disability and 2.500,000 temporarily I disabled, the research revealed. The total days lost have been estiI mated as 246.856.000, which means ■ that the whole country has to share ■ the enormous losses in life, limb, time ■ and money because of industrial aecimm dents. 1 That industrial accidents can and ■ win he controlled to a large degree ■ bv employers is proved by the exper- ■ ience of many concerns. Only a few I months ago the shops of the Chicago ■ and Great Western railroad at Oel- ■ weiti. lowa, established a record of I 4tiS days without an accident occur- ■ itig to 1,120 men employed in the re- ■ puir department of the shops. One of ■ the works of the Jones and Laughlin ■ steel Corporation only recently com- ■ pleted 6n days operation without a ■ single disabling accident to any of employees. Loss In Wages In one widely-known manufacturing ■ plant in this country where an anal- ■ y«is was made into the accidents, it ■ was discovered that in one year there ■ w.'t. 14.181 mishaps, involving 47,004 ■ lost hours of the employees injured, B.v;:d that the total loss by the com- ■ pany in unearned paid wages was l ■ $61,829. Blindness resulting from industrial ■ accidents is costing the country ten ■ million dollars a year and is responH sible for 15 per cent of the blind ■ population, according to the National ■ Research Society for the Pevention ■of Blindness. This is despite the fact ■ that exp, lienee of many plants proves ■ that most industrial eye accidents are IB preventable. The seven basic causes of accidents ■ umler the heading of “supervision” ■ have been listed as faulty instruction, ■ inability of employee, poor discipline, P lack of concentration, unsafe prac- ■ fives mi tlte part of employee, mentH ally unfit and physically unfit em :.m ployees. j o ■ Church Uses 22-Passenger Motor Hus In Its Activities Mt.

CAPITAL ASKS j OLD-FASHIONED INAUGURATION Hy Kenneth Crawford (11. PrStuff Correspondent) Washing! Jit, (U.R) - Washington is planning uu old fashioned Inaugural celebration for the winner of Hie next election, lie it Secretary of Commerce Hoover or Governor Al Smith of New York. Once the most festive and elaborate of national events, the lnauguural lias become in rcent years n hurried, bus-iness-like affair almost devoid of pageantry. Hut this year Washington civic leaders are determined to revive the ceremony ill all Ith pre-war splendor. This is to be un old time stumpspeaking, torchlight-parading campaign, they point out, and the Inauguration should lie a fitting climax. They want a parade down Pennsylvania avenue, uu inaugural hall, a White House reception and all the events that once marked change in national leadership. Incidentally, they want the crowds that such an affair would attract with the money such u crowd would bring Washington is not unlike any other city in that respect. Here, ns everywhere, the firecracker merchants is most enthusiastic for patriotic deni nst rut ion on the Fourth of July. Commercial Viewpoint f A typical from one of — . —^

■--- A Q-the Dependable — Fuel for Cooking Do you know of any other service so dependable as gas? Turn on and light your gas burner. That’s all there is to it. Gas J neucr fails! \' The character of gas service — and f the construction of your gas range —are V such that you can rely on them com* yt pletely. There is not even a possibility of either the service or the appliance failC ing you at a critical moment — when J , i\ guests, for example, are coming for dinner. Waterless Cooking \/M \\ New Way /fßyfj \ \ Steam-cook your vegetables in the oven / //?' i —a new idea, and far superior to boil- / mm ing! Not more than an inch of water is \ \ required in the bottom of the pan [none I n £ whatever is needed with the more moist Irfrlv i vegetables]. A tight lid holding in the " moisture produces waterless cookipg. y Only enough moisture remains to use in y/t serving the vegetables—hence the natu- ][ ral flavor and food value are retained to the fullest. % Insulated Oven for all oven cooking with heat — Oven steaming is best accomplished with the insulated range. Insulation keeps heat in the gas range just as it keeps cold in the refrigerator. Keeps your ’ kitchen cool and comfortable. Oven uentilation makes all foods more delicious, and keeps odors out of the kitchen. NORTHERN INDIANA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY I , • # a NO. iUi J

I the civic lenders planning for tlm inaugural of 1928. printed In a Washing I lon newspaper, follows; "Unquestionably, no matter which side Is elected, we ought to go hack to the (dtl time Inauguration. Certainly it Is to the Interest of the people of Wash ington ... It would undoubtedly I bring u greut deal of money Into the city and someone who employs will get the money. I am absolutely in favor of an old Cushioned Inaugural.” It Is no secret that the White House lius been more uloof front the city during recent udministratl us than WashIngtouiuns would have it. The executive munslon should be the center of social life us much as of official activity, they believe. Although social customs anil traditions have been mulntaitfed by sue* cessive occupants of the White House there lias been u disposition on the part of recent presidents to reduce them to a necessary minimum.
