A candidate for tho home accident death list Is the Individual who Instead
ef a stepladder uses the arms of a chair for support while hanging curtains.
HOME accidents, seldom regarded
as a serious menace to life and
limb, were responsible for more than
one-third of the accident death total
in the United States last year, ae
tording to the National Safety
Council.
Somewhal obscured by the mount
ing concern over automobile acci
dent fatalities, the home accident
problem needs to be brought more
forcibly to the attention of the pub
lic, American Red Cross authorities
on accident prevention state.
It is pointed out that in compari
son with the 32,400 automobile acci
dent fatalities last year, there wore
31,500 deaths from home accidents.
In non-fatal Injuries, home accidents
exacted a far greater toll, with
4,500,000 temporary disabilities as
compared with 1,050,000 for automo
biles; and 140,000 permanent disa
bilities as agalrut #O,OOO caused by
motor cars.

Those who lost their lives within
the four walls of their homes were
principally the victims of the follow
ing types of accidents: falls, 16,500
dead; burns and explosions, 5,300
dead; food and drug poisoning,
1,800 dead; mechanical suffocation,
1,200 dead, most of whom were In
fants; poison gases, 1,000 dead, and
firearms, 1,000 dead.
Realizing that the vast majority
of these accidents are the result
of carelessness or lack of knowledge,
the American Red Cross Is placing
Increased emphasis this year on its
Homo and Farm Accident Preven
tion campaign. In this connection
approximately 10,000,000 check Hals
will be distributed through the
school children of the country am!
the American Junior Red Cross call
ing attention to the common haz
ards to be found In the home and
on the farm. q
; ©of Days
i Dog days comprise the hot, sultry
season of summer during parts of
July and August; so-called from the
fact that the rising of the dog-star, |
Sirius, the brightest star in the heav- j
ens, is coincident with the rising of
i the sun. The ancients thought this
conjunction caused the intense heat
1 of summer, and the maladies which
j then prevailed, hence the popular j
i supposition that dogs are specially i
i liable to go mad at this season. It 1
was by mere accident that the rising
1 of the star coincided with the hottest
• season of the year, in the times and
j countries of the old astronomers. Its
I rising depends on the latitude of the
j place.
Gladstone and U. S.
In “Kin Beyond the Sea,” North
American Review, September, 1878,
j Gladstone is quoted as saying: “As
| the British Constitution is the most
I subtle organism which has proceed
! ed from the womb in the long gesta
tion of progressive history, so the |
American Constitution is, so far as j
I can see, the most wonderful work i
ever struck off at a given time by I
the brain and purpose of man.”
Moral Sayings
Thomas Jefferson, third President
of the United States, compiled for
his own use a book in which the say
ings and precepts of Jesus Christ
w'ere arranged for easy reference
and study. The book was entitled
“The Morals of Jesus.” In 1904 an
edition was ordered published by the i
fifty-seventh congress and 9,000
copies were printed. There have
been later editions issued.
Family cf Teachers
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thompson,
of Rusk, Texas, who celebrated
i their fiftieth wedding anniversary
! recently, have unusual records as
educators. Mr. Thompson taught
school for 40 years without missing
a day on account of illness. Mrs.
Thompson was a teacher for 30
years. Five of their six children
are teachers.
Eighteenth-Century Portraits
In Eighteenth-century America,
1 many portrait painters traveled
from town to town with an assort
ment of pictures of men and wom
en, complete in every detail except
j the space for the face, says Col
-1 lier’s. One desiring an oil paint
} ing of himself merely chose the body
he liked best and had his head paint
ed on it.
Salem Witchcraft Executions
According to E. C. Nevins’ “Witch
craft in Salem Village," there were
17 actual executions for witchcraft
in Salem and nearby New England,
including Giles Corey, the last vic
tim of the delusion, who was pressed
to death between stones on his re
fusal to plead guilty or not guilty.

Red Cross Nurse |
i Reserve at Peaki

Thousands Busy
i
Washington.—The Red Cross reserve
of registered nurses qualified for im
mediate duty Is stronger than ever
before, Miss Mary Beard, director of
the American Red Cross nursing ser
vices, announced.
“We now have a first reserve of
13,000 unmarried uurscs under 40 years
of age available for duty with the
Army, Navy or government nursing
services and subject to call iby the Red
Cross for disaster work,” she said.
I “This is 700 more than any previous
I first reserve registration.”
Miss Beard pointed out that the In
j crease has been gradual and that only
! registered nurses meeting rigid require
ments of training and physical fitness
are enrolled. All classes of nurse
reservists, including nurses now em
ployed by the Red Cross, bring the
reserve corps total to 44,283. During the
World War of 1914-18 the American Red
Cross mustered nearly 20,000 nurses for
duty with Army, Navy and Red Cross
hospitals, at home and overseas.
“Maintenance of the Nurses Reserve
Is provided by our charter and is in
i line with Red Cross policies of preven
tion and preparedness, but the peace
time work of our nurses Is equally im
portant,” Miss Beard said.
The director explained that more
than 2,000 nurses, chiefly home hygiene
and care of the sick instructors, were
regularly engaged in visiting the sick,
aiding physicians in examining school
children, conducting inoculation pro- ,
grams to stamp out contagious Illness,
launching trial nursing services In out- y
of-the-way communities, and carrying
on Important health education work
to qualify family groups to care for
sickness at home.
All nurses who are needed for Red
Cross nursing activities are drawn
from the Red Cross reserve of qualified
nurses, Miss Beard said.
Last year Red Cross public health
nurses made more than one million
visits on behalf of the sick and gave
skilled care to 272,729 persons.
Last year, In schools and clinics,
nurses cooperated with physicians In
examining 595,575 children, and aided
in the task of correcting defects. Chil
dren examined were enrolled for the
most part in rural schools where this
type of preventive service Is rare.
There are 655 R>d Cross nurses en
gaged In this work in 477 communities.
In the field of health education, Red
Cross nurses have instructed more
than 1,000,000 family members since
1914 in how to care for the sick at home ■
and have set new standards of hygiene
for the family. Last year the Nursing
Service held 4,505 classes in home
hygiene and care of the sick and
awarded certificates to 61,296 persons |
who passed examinations on the sub- j
Jects taught,
“Because the nucleus of all Red
Cross nursing activity is our nurses’
reserve, it is a source of great satisfac
tion that each month the list of ap
plicants increases,” Miss Beard said.
This service to the public Is sup
ported by the men and women who Join
as members of the Red Cross, through
their local Chapters, during the Roll
Call, November 11 to 30,
Record Number of Dis
asters Reported by Red
Cross for Year
The American Red Cross gave
emergency relict and rehabilitation
aid to 130,000 sufferers of 157 disas
ters In the United States during the
fiscal year ended June 30, according
to a report submitted by DeWitt
Smith, newly appointed director of,
the Red Cross disaster relief ser
vice,
Mr. Smith said the number of dis
aster operations exceeded that of
any previous year, with cloudbursts,
epidemics, fires, windstorms, snow
slides and other catastrophes strik
ing in 43 states and the territory of
Alaska. Red Cross disaster relief ex
penditures totaled $2,276,109 for the
year.
“Since its founding In 1881 the
Red Cross has aided victims of 2,495
disasters of all types here an<)
abroad, expending $143,000,000 for
rescue, food, clothing, shelter, medi
cal and nursing aid and the perma
nent rehabilitation of families un
able to re-establish themselves," Mr.
Smith said.
#
Since 1910 the American Red Cross
has taught first aid methods to more
than 2,000,000 persons, life saving skills
to more than 1.000,000 and home hy
giene and care of the sick to more than
1,000,000 women and older girls.
