At a mooting held last March, In Worcester, Mass., the president of the National Safety Council gave fig- ures showing the comparative mortal- ity and accident rate of the late war, and the rate of accidents and deaths in civilian life for the same period. Nearly 48,0(f0 persons were killed or fiitally wounded as a direct result of the war. In the same time 126,000 were killed or injured in civilian pur- suits, 36,000 of them in Industrial ac- cidents and 91,00 outside of industry. Of the latter number 25,000 were_ehil- dren. * maTraToWTMOlreiy fourths of the Industrial accidents can Ho avoided.

Several years later a small steam automobile was put on the market by the same company and succeeded. There Is ah old superstition thattha swan breaks into song, at the ap - proach of death. Hence the expres- sion \swan song\ is often used to re- fer to a last poem or musical \work written just before the composer's death. The expression has also been extended to apply to the last speech ot a politlolan before being forced in- to obscurity. The source, of practically all the Ice- bergs ofthe. Arctic and sub-Arctic re- gions Is Greenland. Owing to the northward set of the West Greenland currents the bergs of this side are carried first to tha north and It i s on- ly at about 74th or 75th parallel of latitude that they begin to make their way westward to come down on the American side. »——- To prevent over-sleeping, and thus risking the loss of their employment, the mallcarrlers of Morocco resort to a Unique and perilous scheme. They tie a string to one foot, and, as they know how long a yard.or two will burn, they regulate the length of the string by the-tlme they have to sleep. They llpht, the string, which burns iilwviyT-a-ndjl^when the-flre comes t o their foot, they are painfully reminded that it Is time to arise. SHORT STORIES _j \ork while It means tho holding up Of many projects of the utmost impor- tance in various sections of the stnte. •till will be productive of good, In that It will enable .highway engineers and ccmtiactore to devote themselves to the repair of existing highways. This Is the consensus of opinion nmong~many of the state's leading road builders and officials. With labor Bcarce and high priced, the letting \of contracts for new Improvements would ha\ e meant that contractors would bid one against the ether for men as well as for materials, and the projects al- - ready under way f in various sections would have suffered. The improvement of existing high- ways is essential. In - almost evory section there are roads i n terrible \shape some of them almost impass- ible for automobiles and out of the (uestlon for heavy trucks. , Thus it i s that In tho highway work that will bo prosecuted during the present season, according t o experts, dew attention •will be given to the problem of putting roads that havo failed in the past into shape to last in the future. Manv miles of macadam roads in _New York state can bo converted into ~hea<tj traffic highways with a reason- alle expenditure. Old brick, concrete and Hefeinn block pavements in scores of cities, now in bad state of repair, also can be resurfaced to withstand \the pounding of heavy traffic.
