Sectile signs blink the slogan, “Bo Careful.” around the big mills. From mother’s apron strings to the latest newspaper the voices of safety first call “Be OarefuL” Now cornea the United States labor apartment and tens how many ways yon can got hurt by falling. There are three kinds of falling: (1) Falling from a hick place to the level; (2) fall* Ing from the level Into a place below level; («> falling while walking or standing on the level. In the flrot classification we find all kinds of high places to foil from. In the card Indexes of the safety engineers they have records of people falling from .benches, boxes, chairs, tables, bridge* dame and docks, cranes, elevators, derricks, hoists—elevated blns, pockets, tanks (falls from but not Valls inray In construction or demolition—floors—ladders, scaffolds. staging—boilers, engines, machteee ■ pUok poles, trees, roofs, runways, balconies, platforms, gangplanks, stairs and steps, tramways, trestles, windows, walls and wall openings. Ladders, by the way. are the worst and trickiest of all. More falls from ladders than from any other high spots are recorded. As the safety engineers classify 1 adder falls: (X) ton hit the ground because the ladder broke or a step In the ladder went to pieces under your foot; (1) either you slipped and twisted or the ladder slipped end twisted; (B)' somebody or something knocked you off the ladder; (4) or how it all happened was a mystery.

A stumble, however, may bo caused by fixed objects or loose objects. A'sleeping dog or a hunk of pig iron may trip up the feet that do not respectfully elevate. The number of foiling objects that knock people down and get their names Into the accident records are collapsing buildings, walls, scaffolds, stagings, chutes, conveyors, slides, stacked, stored, or piled-up material. Also racks, shelves, machines, work benches, temporary floors, trees, ditch and trench cave-ins, mine and quarry coal, rock and ore. Experiences with "injuries due to ocoffitog, larking or horseplay’’ art noted in the federal labor department bulletin by Commissioner George Kingston of the workmen’s compensation board of Ontario, Can, A railway porter wrenched his foot but was denied compensation because he “was Urging with two young ladies” and ■howing them how nifty he was at jumping trains. Claims were allowed “where a Chinaman employed in a factory was the innocent victim of' bonwplay—blown up by hose; where a man had been teased by another workman suddenly turned tn revenge and hit an Innocent party; where a man about to punch the time clock was hit from behind by another workman, injured man innocent of any horse*' play." AH of which gives us a hunch as to what the electric signs mean blinking late at night and early morning, “Be Careful." ; y

His One Consolation.

Om of the best of many good stories in "As a Tale That Is TWd," Rev. F. W. Macdonald's book of remtalscencea, concerns a theological argument be once overheard between two Scottish cattle drovers. Ono belonged to the Free Church of Scotland the other to the United neaijjtcriam known for short as the “U. P.’s." From belittling each other’s churches (says the author) they descended to personalities, and finally the U. P. man roundly denounced his opponent and an hla ancestor*, winding up with: “Tour father was a thief, and your mother was a witch." -Maybe they was." replied the oth«r. “Maybe they wan But they Hasn’t U.

EASY TO WIN CO-OPERATION

Main Thing to Remember Ie That Oho Must Karn What Ono Aspects to Receive. Getting on with others is a matter of co-operation. , j If you expect co-operation yon must give cooperation—judiciously, systematically sad with good will. You can win co-operation from a person when you help him to do what he wants to do. Everybody has desires which are worthy and deserving of promotion. Study the desires of the person whose co-operation yen wish to win and then Idealise the ways by which you can aid him to realise those desires. It all comes back to a matter of service—to what Emerson called the law of compensation and what one teacher of New Thought calls the law of giving and receiving. In the language of salesmanship the way>Jjo well yourself to anyone Is through the principle of service. “What will you have?" quoth God; “pay for it and take It—Nothing venture nothing have— Thou shalt be paid for what thou hast done; no more, no less." In more homely language you must earn what you get In the way of Mendship, favors and co-operation of any kind Just as you must earn anything else worth while. And by the, way. to habitually take what you dO' not earn, what you do not give a fair equivalent for in one way or another, is to sap the vitality of your own character and unfit yourself for a place among men and women who are .not. parasites. * If you are a salaried worker and want to earn more money there is only one legitimate way In which you can do It (assuming that no other employer will give you the Increased pay), and that la by giving more efficient, cooperative service. This service may take the form of carrying out instructions from others or of acting on your own responsibility; in either case the object is to efficiently help your employer to realise his Ideals for the business. You cannot throw into the business machinery the monkey wrench of Indifference, or positive objection to the Ideals of your employer and his ways of realising them, and expect to get your pay raised therefor. Neither can you, by such a course, render relations more pleasant and agreeable and win the co-operation which you, desire in the way of Increased appreciation as evidenced by a fotter pay envelope.— WilliamE.

Omsk Once Cossack Center.

Feodor Dostoievsky, the Russian Dickens, wrote his famous novel, “Crime and Punishment,” out of his experiences with criminals at Omsk, which was for a time the seat of government of the regime of Admiral Kolchak. Ip this work Dostoievsky pictures a future Russian people freed from'bonds of force, but united by ties of mutual trust and kindness. Omsk, under the Russian monarchy. was the crossroad of the routes to Central Russia, Orenburg and Turkestan. It lies along the trans-Siberian railway, running from Moscow to Vladivostok, a 5,385-mlle Journey. It was founded about 200 years ago and is approximately of the size of Birmingham, Ala., or Paterson, N. J. Omsk waa long a Cossack center. In the principal square stands the church of St Nicholas, In which hangs a banner reputed to have been that of Yermak, a Cossack bandit of the Volga, who turned over the vast domain of ,Siberia to Ivan the Terrible, with the result that Yermak procured his own restoration to Moscow court favor.

Remarkable Feat of Juggling.

Au Indian Juggler’s remarkable feat Is described by a writer in the Wide World Magarino. A slim young native, accompanied by a gray-bearded assistant, appeared carrying a couple of large baskets, from the first of which was produced a big python, which the young native proceeded to’ “charm” with his pipe. The Juggler took the basket containing the python, placed It upon a large doth, the four corners of which he knotted together with a strong, thin rope. At the end of this rope were affixed two little hollow-leaden cups, which he placed over his eyeballs in such a way that a vacuum was created. He then shut his eyes so that the Mds were outside ' the cups. The two sides of the rope were then passed over his ears and. rising from bls squatting position, he lifted the basket containing the snake by the grip of his eyelids and the suction on his eyeballs alone. The writer 'says he has never heard of the feat being performed before or since.

Just a Reminder.

"The Grabcoins are spending the winter in Florida,” remarked Mrs. Dubwrite, who was glancing over the society pages. “Well, what is that to usF asked Mr. Dubwaite, fretfully. “We can’t afford to spend the winter In Florida." "Probably not," answered Mr*. Dubwrite, with an air of leslbnatkm. T just thought rd call your attention to the fact that It Is still being done."— Btnntagham Age-Herald.

SEA WORM SAMOAN DELICACY

Its Infrequent Arrival Always Made the Occasion for the Holding of a Great Festival. Palolo, the most prized of all gustatory delicacies in Samoa, declared by Americans who have tried it to besuperlor to the lobster, is a marine worm, being rather mysterious in that it Is never seen save on two or three nights tn the entire year. Its appearance seems to be regulated by the moon. The palolo chooses the time for ito first appearance on the night when the October moon changes. When the moon rises the sea is seen to be alive with wriggling green and brown worms, some of them a yard or more tn length. The natives make a festival of the occasion, going out with dtp pets among the reefs and scooping up the worms by the bushel. They paddle around In every available boat with lighted torches waiting for the moon, and then the scene becomes one of great and joyous excitement. The palolo 'domes once again when the November moon quarters, and is not seen again until the following year. It Is said to live tn crannies of the coral reefs,, coming to the surface to spawn at these lunar periods. Some of the worms are eaten as they wiggle, bpt the bulk of the catch is reserved for a big feast on the. following day, Wh4n they are wrapped in banana leaves and baked.

YEAR ONCE BEGAN IN MARCH

Change In Style May Bo Said to Date From 1752—Great Militant Events in Month. -■- - - .-Pg- r; . : i. —-. Few people know, or, if they do, have forgotten, that March, and not January, at one time was the first month of the year, remarks the Chicago Journal. For commencing the year with March there seems to be sufficient reason in the fact that it is the first season after the “dead year,” in which decided symptoms of growth fake place. The name is derived from the Romans, among Whom it wte at an early period the first month of the year, and continued to be in several countries to a comparatively late period, the legal year beginning, even in England, on March 26, until the change of style in 1752. For the Romans to dedicate their first month to Mara and call It Marilus seems equally natural, 'considering the Importance they attached to war and the use they made of It. ' In the history of our own country April appears to cgrry off the palm for the month in which great militant events occurred, yet in the world war a number es epoch-making Incidents took place in March; for Instance, the revolution in Russia in 1917, when Osar Nicholas abdicated on March 15. The big drive on the 50-mile front from Areas to La Feu began on the 21st, and Paris was ln that month bombarded by “Big Bertha.”

Strong Capa of Paper.

Astonishing strong capable of withstanding powerful blows, though extremely light In weight, have been invented by a shipyard employee, and are intended to be worn by workmen whose duties expose them to danger from falling objects, says Popular Mechanics’ Magasine. The process by which the novel headgear Is produced has not been divulged, but it is known that chemicals are employed to harden the material, without adding to Ite weight Several styles have been the lightest weighing about seven ounces, and others slightly more. In a recent test, a 1-pound bolt ■ was dropped on one of them from a height of forty feet, with the result that a barely perceptible dent was made in the paper. The novel head coverings are proof against water and acids, and are nonconductors of electricity.

Heat for Alaska.

The ~ Pacific has its own “Gulf stream," which is called the Japan current, and., it is formed in the same way. * The trade winds, blowing from the tropics, bank up foe warmed ocean waters in foe Yellow sea (corresponding to our Gulf of Mexico), and thence foey pour out between Japan and Formosa, the stream thus formed passing south of the Aleutian chain, along the southern coast of Alaska, and down the west coast of North America. Hence it comes about that the whole southern coast of Alaska has a temperate climate. It to warmed by the Japan current
