L ACCIDENT CAUSE Safety Inspector Gives Interesting Analysis of “Safe-ty-First” Research. iNORANCE BROAD TERM Includes Human Weaknesses of Various Descriptions on Part of Workers, Foremen, Employers, Designers, Builders and Other Men. Analysis of every accident will ow a human factor, says Val K. mmer, safety inspector of the Midle Steel Company. Accidents will ntinue, he goes on. as long as there human life. During the past few ars, Mr. Lammer continues, great ■ogress has been made in the war ainst accidents, and a further depose is to be looked for in the fure. Safety engineering and “Safeh'trst” campaigns are responsible, id they have also brought it about at the human factor is becoming ore important as the physical facra are reduced or eliminated. When [ghty to ninety per cent, of the aedents in a plant are directly attribublo to human failings and weakjsses, the safety engineer may justly include that real progress is being lade. He goes on: Accidents can be considered with the me attitude that Topsy had toward e origin of her existence when she dared that she “just growed.” An cldent never “just happens"; it is direct effect of a cause, or of many uses. When there is more than e cause—as there generally is— ere will be a primary cause with mtributing causes. By Itself the priry cause may not cause an accint, but without it the contributing uses will fail to inflict human inies. The problem for the safety gineer lies in locating the primary ise; the contributing causes are apent. he statement is frequently made l approximately seventy per cent, industrial accidents is due to careisness on the part of the injured son. The truth of the matter is t only a comparatively small portage of accidents is actually due carelessness, while a much greatpercentage is attributable to mindndering, clumsiness, ignorance and ^^Bter human deficiencies. Investigatftn will show that, as far as the hura- ■ factor is concerned, ignorance is flle of the chief causes of accidents. I The writer realized at this point that should, according to all literary ^Bccepts, now triumphantly produce MBatistics of ignorance as a cause of ^H< idents but is reluctantly forced to ^■mit that, as the rflbe said of the giHffe, “tliar aint no sech animal.'* It ■ true that we have available a few ^fctistics of personal ignorance as a Bu^e of injury but that does not meet Hth the requirements of the case. Be ignorance which causes an acciB is not necessarily the ignorance B the injured man; it may be the igBrance of his fellow-worker, his forehis employer, the machine de^■ner, the builder or of other men have any connection with the Bynical conditions involved in the ac■ent. B)r George M. Price has said that ^Jorance is a prolific cause of indusB accidents, but he only refers to ignorance of the worker. Another Btluirity has estimated that out of fatalities in Allegheny County no ^per than 132 were due to ignorance. Bt is doubtful if there will ever be Bi' rfi ally satisfactory statistics of orance as a cause of accidents. apparent causes are readily recized and classified, but when an stigator has to discover an unwn and hidden cause he may easilose himself in a maze of possities. If a man is killed through own fault, we may quickly detere the physical causes of the aecit, but no one can definitely state ther Ignorance, clumsiness, nce-taking, or mind-wandering is ponsible for the action which costs man his life. n accident may be due to human kness, and yet preventable by enering measures. When an accit shows that condition, engineerrevision can prevent a repetition, echanical failure may be due to r, inferior quality of material and kmanship, bad design, unexpected sses, or numerous other causes; dents happen when men are ignt of the existence Of these imant factors. Bad design may be atluted to the designer, and he alone be held responsible; it may be result of carelessness, but the ability is that it will be really to ignorance of the working conis. In the design of any part the igner makes a liberal allowance known stresses by using a big of safety, but there may be unvn stresses for which he must e allowance by using a factor of ranee. He causes of industrial ignorance H ma nx. but they may be roughly Hsilicd as— (» Lack of experience and techtraining. (I) Improper instruction. ** (P' Failure to undersUnd th» taTO^rt.on given, through difference in a ge or inattention.

HEROISM SHOWN BY AMERICAN WORKERS OF NEAR EAST RELIEF

NOTICE

TAXPAYERS

Cables Reveal Appalling Armenian Need—Hundreds of Thousands Starving.

By CHARLES V. VICKREY General Secretary, Near East Relief Approximately 500 American men and women are standing loyally and heroically at their posts In Armenia, p Turkey and the f > Near East. Many 1 of them during the JN long winter of iso- | lation are undergof ing what we in America call "hardship.” But these, Charle* V. Vickrey our feN«w citizens In the Near East, are volunteers serving with a higli purpose, and they do not recognize hardship when they meet it. They have had their opportunity to withdraw with honor from the field of famine and desolation. They have refused to leave, been use they know that their departure would mean death for tens of thousands of women and children whom their efforts have kept alive and whom they are determined to save for a better future. A dozen cables are on my desk from various centers in Armenia, Anatolia, Cilicia and Syria pleading piteously for the lives of hundreds of thousands who are homeless: “Slxty-flve thousand refugees Constantinople alone;” “Refugees flocking Into Aleppo “Twenty thousand refugees at Ismld;” “One hundred thousand people at Alexandropol will starve unless relief Is provided ;” “Refugees arriving from Caucasus, escaping persecution, naked, destitute! Urgent,need to save most of them from death ;’* “Two hundred thousand starving between Kars and Alexandropol! Severe winter adding to distress.”* Above all towers the mute appeal of the more than 100,000 little children, orphaned, homeless, whom these American relief workers have saved and whom we here at home must sustain not only through the winter and spring, but through the summer and autumn as well. If we do not provide, they perish ! And with them dies the hope of a New Near East. The Easter season Is here—the season that commemorates the Great Sacrifice for mankind. America is known as a Christian nation. She Is also the wealthiest nation that history lias ever

known.

Can we really enjoy our wealth and claim the name of Christian if we turn a deaf ear to the appeal which General Leonard Wood, in behalf of the Near East Relief, has sent forth broadcast for a Lenten Sacrifice Offering to save these little children in Bible Lands?
