HOW TO GET KILLED. Whenever you use a ladder, remember that it is the rnot dangerous device in existence. ladders continue to cause more accidents than anything else. This If shown by Insurance experts' latest check-up of fatal and non-fatal casualties. Every minute of the day and night. 23 Americans Are eriolil5' "injured by accidents. In the last four years, accidents killed or injured more American than the total killed on both sides In th World war. Human deaths by accidents in the United States average around 60,00 a year, or 165 a day, according to the census. You are, of course, "afraid of getting Injured." And of what are you mrft afraid? Autos, probably. Yet. for each 6 7 people killed by autos, 6S are burned to death. die in railroad aecldeftts, 56 are drowned, 26 die in mine. CI are asphyxiated by pas. 21 are killed around machinery, 23 by street car. 23 by bicycles and horse-drawn vehicles. And. topping the list. Ill are killed by falls from ladders, out of windows, down elevator shafts or lipplns: on icy sidewalks that could be made safe ty a sprinkling of nhs. Read those figures a second time, record them Indelibly in your brain, and you'll know what to he Careful of unless you want to meet the und?rtaker. Nearly all accident? are the result of carelessnMe taking needless chances in the fac of dansei": Obviously, then, nearly all accidents could be prevented. The prevention of accident', according to safety engineers, is about half .-afety devices and half personal caution. It is now 22 years since Dr. William H. Toiman retvrned from Germany, where he had been studying accident prevention, and started the Safety First movement in our country. That movement has worked wonder-. For one thing, it has reduced railroad deaths to a third of v hat they were in lf0T. The trouble with the Safety First movement alway? has been that it is spasmodic. Between celebration, the public cets lulled into carelessness, then accidents bir: forth again on a big scale and mother Safety Movement is etauod. To keep the Safety First fires burning constantly, heveral hundred prominent citizens have just formed a national Soolety for Prevention of Accidents To help in this movement and protect your own life an 3 body, you merely have to observe two simple rules: First. kep your eyes open. Second, be cautious, take n eh ap.ee.
A DRAMATIC STORY. You who are f-v-kir.g the thrill of adventure, who follow with your imagination the bold, daring men who go to far places, who read with inten interest of the exploits of men upon battlefields and upon fa. turn to the f.rs: page ar.d read a more dramatic r.ory. It is told in f.curep. thi tale which challenges all your admiration ar.d your applause. You will find it in the trs statement that during the nvnth of May a great local industry outstripped ty a larjre percentage it? highest former record of production. You who are fond of reading of wealth, will here l't.3. a story of real wraith, a better story than those of the oil fieli. where men stick a drill into the cround and rela. a fortune. For In the figures ou will be satii-M with th eicht numerals taken to (l:sr.ate th valu rf its output. Those who w:h :r.ay let their thought? turn to v hat this all nir.. They will think first of all of the earnest missionaries of trade who have por.e up ard down th streets of a thousand o.tlet in a dozen countries, telling the story of th article they believe in and in which they hae faith, persuading and convincing. They will then turn to the creat factory in this city and know that the miracle of modern industrial organization fV.tod several thousand men so neatly into place that each became a significant And mpcrtsr.t part of the producton of each And vrj' machine. You an f!lor. !f you wish, the pHde that wis taken as epe-l ar.3 accuracy combined to reduce by the fraction of a fcond thr et'sential processes neaary to char.ffin raw eteel and brass and cop per ar.d rubber tr.d steel into 4 finished rnodl of celfrpropellin.T power.

been an obJ"ct cf dramatic interest. To them the world fives its praise'and an undying place in history If they but take possesion Df some mound of earth or eome particular field for that brief epce of time that gives victories to wars. Ten thousand men in the ars of pea.ee should form a much more dramatic picture for thos who can sympathize, mere etror.?!y with construction than destruction. There is not the blare, the blazoned courage, the incentive of conflict, but there is the stronger purpose of adding to the world's store of happiness. When such an army gains a real victory of accomplishment, th" city in which It works out that achievement should be happy that It is the scene of one of these modern dramas of peace that are more thrilling and more lasting than thos? of other adventures.
THE FATUOUS FLO. The nation has learned to respect and admire the Judgment of one Flo Ziegfeld in the matter of selecting American Beauties. His annual presentation of feminine attraction is the standard. Others have learned to accept his decisions as to the outstanding charmer of the year without question, and th" f?irl who aspires to kingdom in the world of beauty knows that her throne i secure If she is chosen and' approved by this arbiter. The latest public appearance of th'-s impresario might lead to the suspicion that he ha.1 spent his time in becoming expert only upon matters of face and form and that he knows very little of what goes on beneath those bobbed heads to which he give his praise or in those hearts which beat beneath the chiffon of the stage. For he attempts to accomplish the impossible when he most publicly and pressagently endeavors to persuade his outstanding star to give up the man she loves. The wire: and rabies repeat his public advice to this dainty dancer who had admitted that she was about to wed the male member of an illustrious film family. Taken for granted that the girl had firmly decided on her course, it would require either a fatuous, a courageous or a guileless man to make an effort to stop her. Especially is this true when he endeavors to dissuade her by throwing verbal brickbats at the man of her choice. Others have tried that system and it has always failed. For that Is the glory of a woman's love, that it glosses over the faults with such a mantle of charity and such an ideal of perfection that all appeals to reason lose their power. Fathers have tried the same Fystem, nnd will try them again. Mothers have followed it with tears and even now, following the Ziegfeld method, the grandaughter of the world's richest man is bombarded with threat, appeals and protests from the rource of revenue, but sticks to her foreign horseman. Flo failed to show that excellent discernment of woman's nature which he exhibits for pretty faces when he tries to block the way to the altar by calling the successful wooer a slacker. He might have expected an answer in the form of the speediest of marriage. A woman in love will adorn the man of her choice, though he may be dissolute, wayward, unfit, with all the virtues, and to her eyes his very faults take on the attributes of strong appeal. When she hss chosen, attacks are vain and indictments futile. Which makes the world wonderful and gives opportunity to the Flos and their press agents to add to the gaiety of the summer season -by their rather ridiculous exhibitions. o THOSE QUEER PARTIES. Both of the dominant political parties have now held their convention.', written their platforms, and are before the people asking for support and votes. The significant thing about these two conventions was their similarity. In both of these conventions there was a fight over 'the primary law in the district gatherings. In both the question of broader home rule was debated and divergent conclusions reached. Other questions of ste affairs were discussed and the. speeches in one might have ben given in the other, except in those portions in which the "ins" r raised the party in power and the "outs" denounced the present rulers. It is more than apparent that the two parties do not have in state affairs such a decision of principles cr so divergent views on the conduct of affairs as to make the difference distinctive and important. The democrats who demanded the repeal of the primary law should be in the same party with ?he republicans who made the same apreal to their fellow partisans. As it turns out. no man who fought for that change in law would change his party affiliations if he lost in his own party and saw that reform as the outstanding principle of the opposing party. The truth is that state government is a matter of common business sense, not of grave political d:ssension. Fxcept as to the attitude of the United States senator and the members of congress, there is and can be no division along the lines Of foreign relations' or of rational affairs. The trouble is that men become not. candidates for specific e xecutive positions on the ground of ability and fitness but become party candidates to be swept into power on sentiments that have no relation whatever to the things which they must later handle, if elected. The salvation of public affairs lies in the intelligent discretion of the Independent voter or in the growth of independent thought within the panic. The time has passed when in local affairs any iltizen should turn over to a political party h.s discretion and his judgment. That day has gone when mn should elect executive servants because they happen to believe in a certain form of tariff, the Einstein theory or have a predilection for Roquefort chee?e. The prediction, made sme time ago by shrewd political observers, that there is a need of several new parties, seems to be borne out by the happenings in the state conventions. The same forces were back at work in both. The same sentiments were expressed and those who took similar stand in the conventions, leave thc Wis to fto out ajJ combat each other at the election. It is alt so queer, and so absurd.

MONKFTYS. (Cleveland pre?.) Carveth Wells, explorer, while tramping in Malay Jungles, found that the natives, had trained broks. imall monkeys, to run u;r trees and pick coccanuts for them. That Is interesting, because it happens for away. But. shucks! In our country, the monkeys' descendants have been trained to do "a heap sight" more than the broks. You have noticed, in a circus menacee. that the monkeys are Just as Interested in ue as we, are In Ufr-n. This li one cf the reasons.

YOUR HEALTH BycoDPr;laRnd s-
Many persons have pain in their eyes, headache and all sorts of uncomfortable symptoms. They think they need glasses and, without consulting an expeit. fit themselves fronx an assonnent of spectacles carried, perhaps, by some storekeeper or peddlers.
It muMt b said in justification of!
8uch dealers in gla-sses, that they have done lots of good by supplying artificial aid to thousands who would never go to a skilled refractionist.
By the way, let me explain that 1 big word "refractionist." When a ray of light passes from the air into water, for instance, it Is bent or' broken or refracted at the surface.' Did you ever spear fih? If you did you know you had to learn to J thrust your spear below the place-, where the fish appears to be lying! in the water. Otherwise, the spear j would pass harmlessly over the rish.j The water breaks or refracts the
light and deceives your eye. When the light pases from the air through a spectacle lens It is re
fracted. The more curved and pow-i
erful the lens, the more the rays are bent. Since the choice of the right lens for any visual defect of the eye is founded on their varying power of refraction, eyeglasses fitting is called "the science of refraction." The skliledrefractionist has at hit? disposal certain objective tets which enable him. to deal more accurately with eye defects than can be done by the peddler or storekeeper. He looks into the eye with an instru-
nitint r -jtlc.l thft " n nf h a 1 m r sen ne " !
111'. 1 h- ... v..- I . J ' and measures the refraction of the eye with the "retinoscope." Each of these instruments has a perforated mirror capable of throwing li?ht into the eye and through the perforation the refractionist may look into the eye. He studies what he sees there and eerything has its meaning. He may discover th evidence of kidney disease or other trouble. These methods are sure to make the choice of glasses more accurate. Rut. eve n though the examination determines exactly the strength of the glasses required to give good vision, it may net result in comfort after the spectacles are provided. All the disagreeable symptoms may continue. A woman wrote me the other day tellin-T about her inability to read, of th stiance feeling in her eyes, of the painful effects of bright lierht. of her headaches and other symptoms. She said fh had been to three fine specialists, ar.d in spite of
all they did, her discomfort continues. Let me say in passing, it is bet
ter usually, to Ftick to the rirst "fine j specialist, and to insist that ho dis-j cover the fundamental difficulty. It is no reflection on him if he does not locate it the first time. At the
original examination he discovers a
very apparent need of glasses and
prescribes in the hope and cxpeeta- !
tion that the symptoms will disappear. When they do not, then he nnust seek other causes for the trouble. Several visits may be needed on this account. After tesv.ig the vision, ther are two other factors which must be considered. First, are the eye nxuscles acting properly? You may have two horses and not have a team. Either horse may be a good horse, but when both horses are hitched together, team work is irnpo.-sible they simply will not behave. The eyes may act the same way. Either eye is normal, or may be made visually normal by glasses. But when called upon for seeing: purposes, especially for reading or sewing, they will not co-operate. Team work seems impossible. Thi.a difficulty is due to the weakness of one or more of the muscles which m.ove the eyeball. Fntil the defective muscles is given assistance.
eye comrort is impossible. n this account a test must be made to discover the offending muscle, and then proper treatment w-ill overcome
the trouble. J All these measures may fail. The) glasses are right In strength. nnd the
muscles are working perfectly, but the symptoms continue. Why? Eight contains rays which are irritating to some eys. They act like chemicals, causing smarting and burning. Until these rays are excluded the painful symptoms will continue. To accomplish this, tinted lenses are used. I do not refer
to the old-fahioned colored phases. I but to the new lenses made of such i delicate shades that ynu can hardly! detect the presence of colnr. They are so scientifically manufactured! that they shut out the irritating rays i of light and do not Interfere with; clear vision. Such lenses should not be used 1 unless prescribed by an expert. They ' may be combined with th magnifying lenses or pri-ms needed to cor- ; rect the other defects of the eye. . You see, therefore, that haphazard' fitting of lenses or even thei:- ac-i curate selection i not sufficient to! guarantee comfort fr every sufferer. '
