They show) ; that approximately 46 per cent or| | 4,350,000 of the 9,403,000 accidents re- | Ported in 1931, occurred in or about} | the home. In other words, the well-| | known “haven of secur contrib- | uted almost as much to the accident} list as traffic, public places and in-j dustry combined. It is surprising but | true. Safety is something about which we} hear a great deal of preaching but the safety council compiles the facts. Here are a few worth knowing. They will make the average person think. Perhaps their dissemination will make more persons investigate their own habits and traits of mind to see if they cannot do something now to pro- long their lives in the future: 1, Accidents last year killed 97.- | 000 persons—2,000 less than in 1930; the first reduction since 1922, 2. Motor vehicle deaths num- |{ bered 33,500; death rate six times as high as in 1913. 3. Accidents are second most important cause of death among men; heart disease is first. 4. Occupational death rates in insurance experience declined 31 Per cent from 1912 to 1931. 5. Industrial plants have re- duced employe injw frequency rates 38 per cent two years; severity rates, 19 years. 6. One-sixth of cuts and lacera- tions resulting m employe ac- cidents become infected. 7. Twenty-seven states increased motor vehicle fatalities from 1930 to 1931. Nevada had the highest | death rate; California second. ' 8. Commercial vehicles continue to improve accident experience; private drivers continue to get worse. 9. Railway grade crossing acci- | dents declined 10 per cent; 30 per cent from é 10. States with drivers’ license laws continue better than re- mainder of country in motor ve- hicle death rate. 1 11, Drowning death rate was seven per cent higher in 1930 than in 1920; 32 per cent lower than in 1910. cent in two ime safety record ys in 1931; low- | est death total since records were | started; 27 per cent reduction | since 1920. 13. Death rate for miscellane- ous flying five times as high as for scheduled air transports. 14. Automobile death rates for school children increased only four per cent since 1922; all ages in- creased 98 per cent. Sectional Politics The congressional record is not the feppiest document in the world but @ faithful student can get some ideas from a perusal of its pages. For instance, in connection with the relief bill which has caused a bitter battle in congress, it is interesting to note the sectional basis on which the nation’s lawmakers have divided. There is a sharp difference in opin- ion between the East and the West on many subjects and the relief measure offers illustration. Speaker Garner, heading the forces which sought to liberalize the pro- posed act, drew most of his support from the agricultural regions. He had @ bitter battle with a good many lead- ers in his own party over his pro- posal to make loans to all who could give security, the major opposition coming from senators in the states east of the Mississippi river. ‘The congressional record shows, for instance, that Senator Robert Bulk- Jey, budding young statesman from ‘Ohio, was rather harsh in condemn- ing the Garner ideas. | On the other hand, Senator Hiram Johnson of California, veteran Pro- gressive Republican warhorse, was strong for it. He professed not to think so much of the Garner proposal ; resentative of the great agricultural | jects is not apparent, but it is clear \that security prices began to climb. i dential campaigns on a strict depres- jin some quarters, as a matter of fact, ;atism, it is almost a certainty that) | 1932 will go down as the year of ema | that the political purists will heave a Proposing, in the debate preceding passage, that if the president vetoed the bill it should be passed over his veto. The congressional record quotes Senator Johnson as follows: “These are the people of whom I think. We may call them ‘the forgotten men,’ and we may say that one who refers to them is a mere cemagogue, if you wish, Mr. President. Sir, I take my place today and I take it in the months to come with God's own creatures, ; just men and women in this land, as good as you and as good as me, fit to live, with the right, by heaven, to a job and to a little of God's sunlight. It is for them I appeal today for a relief bill. It may be, as has been asserted dur- ing the last few days, that we may pass this bill and the president will veto it. Let him take the re- sponsibility of vetoing it if he de- sires. It is asserted, and I have heard it asserted, that immedi- ately thereafter he will send an- other bill down here, and it will be crammed down the throats of the members of the congress, and because their hearts, the hearts of men who sit here that beat in unison with humanity demand- ing relief for just ordinary people today, the very holiest emotions that a human being can have, will be twisted and distorted to the demands and the dictatorial policy of one man in this land. “.. . We ought to stay here long enough, if the bill is vetoed, for us to vindicate ourselves and pass it over any presidential veto.” That attitude would seem to be rep- West from which Democratic Garner and Republican Johnson come. The opposition of Democratic Bulk- Jey and Republican Barbour of New Jersey speaks for the industrial East. Just why it is that East and West | should see differently on these sub- that they do. This difference of attitude may play quite a part in the decision which must be made by the voters of this land in November. Stock Prices It is quite possible that business re- covery in the United States will be well under way before the stock mar- ket reflects the fact. Already an exceedingly encouraging sign has appeared in the narrowing of the gap between raw commodity prices and the prices of finished goods. Let that gap continue to nar- row for a little while longer, and the backbone of the depression will be broken. But the depression of 1921, which came to an end in precisely the same way, found the stock market lagging far behind. It was not until four] months after a definite expansion of| factory production was under way Those who make the stock market their sole barometer in these days may eventually find that a real re- covery began while they were still waiting for a break on Wall Street. Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. The Party War Chests (Minneapolis Tribune) Instead of spending more than $16,- 000,000 between them as they did in 1928, the two major parties are ex- Pected to put their respective presi- sion basis this year. It is predicted that neither party will make a cam- paign outlay of more than a million dollars, and while this estimate un- doubtedly errs on the side of consery- | ciated party war chests. { This does not mean, of course, that the powers-that-be in Democratic and Republican circles have suddenly be- come convinced that any particular virtue attaches to a flat purse, or that a full exchequer is a sign of party im- morality, but simply that it is going to be exceedingly difficult to make the donating public forget that the de- pression still holds forth. We suppose great sigh of relief on being assured that the parties will struggle along | this year in comparative poverty, and yet it is difficult to see that their present plight warrants any marked display of righteous satisfaction. The truth is that there is nothing sinister | or reprehensible about well-filled campaign chests if the funds which they contain are honestly and legiti- mately spent. If the issues involved in a presidential campaign are to be carried to a nation of 120,000,000 in- habitants and adequately presented to them, it is plain that a very sizeable outlay of funds cannot be avoided, and it should be equally clear that the amount of the outlay is less impor- tant, from the point of view of cam- paign morality, than the purposes to which it is devoted. It is conceivable that a campaign fund of only $100,000 might be grossly misused and perverted, and that ay campaign fund 50 times as great might be directed into entirely legiti- mate and easily defensible channels, and since this is so, it is palpably not wise to lay too much stress, in any discussion of political ethics, on the status of the party treasuries. Both Democrats and Republicans, in the last analysis, will spend about as much as they can get in the forthcoming campaign and that is a policy for which neither party need apologize so long as it adheres, and scrupulously, to the political proprieties. & Barbs | Now they're making cheese trom alfalfa in Wisconsin.

The time required for food to pass entirely through the alimentary tract is about | 33 hours, though some foods may} complete the trip in 9 or 10 hours in a normal person. The control or reg- | ulation of the entire process of diges- | tion from the time the food is swal-| lowed till its residue is evacuated is} autonomic, that is, under the uncon- scious, sympathetic, involuntary nerv- | ous tem. These autonomic func-/ tions, such as the beating of the heart, | the breathing, and the various stages of digestion, are always better per- formed if one keeps one’s mind off! of them, or better, if one’s mind is occupied with pleasant thoughts. i} The desire that tells a normal per- son it is time to evacuate is a “mus-| cle sense” produced by distension of the terminal part of the alimentary | tube. It is a crude, a ludicrous notion that the colon is a “sewer which should be kept flushed out.” The physiolo- gists have found that nothing of con- Sequence is absorbed from the colon} except water—much water is ab- sorbed from the contents of the colon into the blood. Curiously enough} practically no water is absorbed from | the contents of the stomach. When much water is taken into the stom-| ach almost all of it quickly passes on} into the intestine, where some of it is absorbed from the small intestine, and more from the large intestine.

Letters should be brief and written in ries not conforming to instructions. Address Dr. William Brady, in care of this newspaper. physiologist. It is a brain much older and better organized than that of man, says Dr. Horace W. Soper, St. Louis internist, yet man lightly inter- feres with a biological function es- tablished in all forms of life through- out the ages. The normal condition of the con- tents of the lower colon in all verte- brates, including man, is dry. Victims of the autointoxication obsession im- agine restoration of normal bowel function consists in attempting to change the contents of the colon from dry to liquid, by means of freak diets, habitual use ot medicines, enemas or irrigations, Various investigators have found that in health the residue as evacu- ated consists of from 25 to 33 per cent of bacteria by weight. That being true, it should be obvious that the at- tempt to keep the colon free from bacterial activities (fermentation or putrefaction) is futile. It is really a |kind of insanity, and in some in-' stahces it becomes actual insanity. Only a person utterly ignorant of Physiology can think of a so-called “internal bath” as anything else than absurd.

CRIME DOESN’T PAY New York, July 13—Strangers in New York, packing fat wallets on their hips, are good risks today. Dips—or pickpockets — if you prefer — have wearied of frisking bulging pockets; only to find about 60 cents worth of gin. Few, if any, of the facile light-fin- gered artists operate. They have joined the fast retreating ranks of another generation. Organized bands of pickpockets who sought their prey in congested areas, are as obsolete as a crystal set radio. Coney Island, most crowded of ; Sunday resorts, shows a minus-score for the current season. A dip-gangj operating on a crowded subway is so and one a saxophone. There's no amateurishness about their playing. Few professionals are better. Fur- [ thermore, they wear snappy clothes and put on a theatrical front. March- ing smilingly through the crowds, they touch no note of despair or sadness. Somehow, the crowds appreciate this attitude and reward = well. * THOSE SIDEWALKS The famous sidewalks of New York, generally speaking, begin to present a problem for the future. Beggars are out in every guise. The number of bootblacks has increased about 100 per cent in a few weeks. Pretty girls peddle papers in the town belt and the other day I noticed two attractive feminine pitch-workers, with slick sales talks and a good bag of tricks. x *K OK Bagby’s “musical mornings” remain the toniest artistic events in New York.

He settled there as though waiting for a breeze. A voice from the doorway called, “Well, of all things to be doing on a@ day like this—!” Cherry turned, “Hello, Dixte,” sho said, “Come in. I can’t offer you a cool place to sit but that chair by the window is probably best.” Dixie dropped her bundles on the table. She wore a brilliant green silk sport dress, rumpled now and the worse for wear, a broad: brimmed straw hat with a greén band around it, and sandals that matched almost but not exactly. “Put down that fron, cherub,” ixie instructed. “Here's a pint of strawberry sherbert, It’s probably half melted and ff it isn’t eaten right now there'll be nothing left of it. No, don’t bother—I know where to get the dishes: She was in the kitchen already, dishing out the cool, pink mixture. Cherry turned off the electric iron. She followed Dixie to the kitchen, “It’s sweet of you to do this,” Cherry said as both girls sank into chairs and began to eat the sher- bert. “It's delicious!” “Not so many calories as ice cream,” the other informed her. “Not that you have to worry about them. Lord, I wish I had your figure!” Dixie took another spoon- ful of sherbert. “But I’m forgetting the news!” she went on almost immediately, “Darling, I'm leaving Saturday for two weeks jn Canadi “Ob, how wonderful!” “Isn't it?

Cherry looked down at her flimsy apron, her worn-out shoes. She pushed the hafr back from her fore- head. What a sight she must be! “I'll have to go on with thie ironing,” she said as she arose. “But don’t go, Stay and tell me about your trip.” “No, it's time for me to be get- ting upstairs, I've a million things to do. Cherry, how on earth can you fron when it’s as hot as this?” “Dan needs the shirts,” Cherry explained. “He put on the last clean one in the drawer this morn- ing.

Dixie’s answer was lost as she mounted the gtairs, ee P and down the ironing board, up and down, Cherry’s hand moved. The shirt sleeves, then the collar and then the front. A but- ton off here, That must be sewed on before the shirt was folded away. She wiped the perspiration from her forehead, laid another shirt on the board. As the iron moved back and forth her thoughts flew to the cool white deck of a ship. Not such a ship as Dixie would sail on an ocean liner, huge and majestic, Cherry could see white foam splash- ing against the blue. Gulls gliding to the surface of the water and then soaring aloft. Oh, to be on such a ship! To feel the rush of the cold wind—! With @ sudden cry she put the fron on its stand. There on the sleeve of one of Dan’s newest shirts was a yellow-brown scorched spot. Tt was after six when Dan ar rived, Cherry was putting away the last of the froning. She had not had time to dress, “This place is like an oven,” Dan Announced, “We can’t eat here,’ “You go somewhere if you want to," Cherry told him. “I don't feel like dressing and anyhow I’m not hungry.” ; “Do you good to get out.

She was asleep when Dan finally arrived and he did not mention next morning how he had spent the evening. DAN telephoned later to say they had an invitation, news editor, had rented a cottage at Willow Lake, 40 miles away. Mr. and Mrs. Casey were hospitable souls. They had invited a group from the office for a moonlight beach party the following Saturday, There was good swimming at Wil low Lake and it was cooler than the city. Cherry was delighted. “But how'll we get there?” she asked, “You and I will drive down with The rest are going with Casey or Jo Beach.” The prospect of the outing seemed to do a great deal for Cherry.
