EVE NISHAPS ARE DUE O GNORANCE Organization Urges Education Along These Lines New York, Oct. 8,—The greatest poasibilities for the elimination of the unnecessary eye hazards of in- dustrial occupations lie in educa- tion, according to the National Com- mittes for the Prevention of Blind- ness, which has been studying . the question of eye hazards over a pers lod of two years. The committee's labors have extended into practically every Industry and every state in the unlon, and its report is a docu- ment of 250 pages. “There should be education of the state as to its moral and economic obligations,” the report declares, “education of the employer as to the desirability, from his own point of View, of sup- plying adequate protection for the eyes of his employes; and education of the employe, particularly the old- tashloned and so-called hardboiled employe, as to the neceasity of using that protection when it is provided. “Some etates do not yet require even the reporting of industrial ac- cidents. Others require such reports, but make no effort to set up safety standards of lighting and sanitation codes for the guldance or observasce of their industries.” Discussing the necessity for edu- cation of the employer, the commit- tee says: Cheaper to Prevent, “Many employers of labor still need to be convinced that it Is cheaper to prevent.eye accidents than to pay for them; that it is false economy to use cheap goggles, or to have a group of workmen share one pair of goggles; that the wearing of goggles or other head protection in dangerous ‘operations should be made an absolute condition of em- ployment. Except in comparatively few cases, the prevention of acci- dents s considered of secondary im- portance. “The result of this situation s that for every plant doing effective safety work a hundred are shirking their responsibility. Indeed few employers are giving as serious at- tention to accidents—their cost, the poesibility of preventing them, and the profits which can be made Wil question the assertion that it is cheaper to prevent e dents than to pay for them." In the case of the employe, par- ticularly the older employe, the com- mittee points out that “it Is neces- sary to overcome the reslstance against goggle wearing resulting from many years of working with- out such protection: it is necessary to overcome, In many cases, false pride and the bellef that the wear- Ing of goggles in an indication of cowardice or of approaching old age; it Is necessary, most of all, to overcome the relutance to try some- thing new, Souvenir Hunters Steal World Court Insignia The Hague, Oct. 3.—Even the hallowed precincts of Andrew Car- negie's Peace Palace are not safe from the depredations of souvenir hunters, it seems, for it has become known that the presidential hammer has been stolen from the council table of the permanent court of In- ternational justice, The hammer is artistically carved of ebony, and about 12 inches long.

A look into the mirror will give you the assurance that 7,800 Cars Owversold Despite Record-breaking Output Though Nash production is at the highest level ever attained through such preventive work, as ta the cost of labor, raw materials, and other items in the manufacturing process.” Developing the idea that it is cheaper to prevent accidents than to pay for them, the committes says: Committec's Statement. The report growing out of the sur- vey of waste in industry, which was conducted by the Federated Amer- ican Engineering Socleties, shows an estimated loss of 158,000,000 days as the result of non-fatal accidents oc- curring in industry in one year. On the extremely conservative estimate of $1.60 a day as the average com- pensation paid to workmen for the time lost due to accidents, there is a loss to employers of $237,000,008 a year as the result of non-fatal ac- cldents alone. It is conservatively estimated, also, that eye accidents constitute 10 per cent of all non- fatal industrial accidents. On the basis of these estimates it appears that the loss to industry through eye accidents, is in excess of $23,000,000 yearly.
