ACCIDENTS INCREASE
Seattle.—The state department of
labor and industries has reduced its
factory inspection and accidents have
increased. The number of fatal acci
dents continue to average one per

first two months in 1925 was 10 per
cent over the first two months in 1924.
This increase is significant, be
cause the lumber industry, the largest
industry in the state, has slowed down
to five days, and in some instances
four days a week.

Western Foods Something
of a Puzzle to Japanese
So thoroughly have Japanese hotel
managers Europeanized their estab
lishments that native hotel guests are
constantly confronted by new and per
plexing forms of food, says a traveler
recently returned from a six months'
trip to the Orient.
"It is quite the usual thing to see
a Japanese trying to eat ice cream
with a knife, or standing embarrassed
and humble before a few stalks of
asparagus," he said.
"It's getting so no Japanese can
count on his three oriental squares a
day away from home Instead, they
bring him some European or Amer
ican dish that he's never seen before
and he has to eat it"—New York Her
ald-Tribune.
Fox Was "On His Own99
Mrs. Solomon Barnhart of Conno
quenessing township, Pennsylvania,
saw a strange animal in her yard with
one of her chickens In his mouth. She
killed it with a shotgun. The animal
proved to be a large fox, which was
identified as one that had escaped from
a neighbor 18 years ago. A worn
leather collar and a piece of broken
chain were proof of the Identity of
the former pet, which had been sus
pected for several years of raiding
chicken yards in the community.

when the machine was left standing in
a country road.
Education and Earning
In three representative areas in
Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, tenant farm
ers with a high school education re
reive an average annual labor income
of $520 a year more than the men with
only a common school education. A
college education adds to this average
$453 a year, making the Income of col

the labor earnings of men with a com
mon school training.

O
Something to
Think ^4bout
By F. A. WALKER
THE OLD CIRCLE
TpHE natural inclination in man,
when he is lost In the woods, or is
floundering around in business for
which he is not qualified, is to move
in a circle.
The currier pigeon files straight to
his destination the horse goes unguld
ed through the darkest night to his
stable.
A man may have genius or merely
ordinary talent, but if lie cannot move
straight ahead, think clearly and keep
his mind upon his work, he is^plodding
round and round, arriving at the end
of the year at about the same spot
from which he started, befuddled a
little more and decidedly less cou
rageous.
Such a man, and there are thousand*
of them, is not built for success. He
is apt to take no reckoning of his prog
ress until someone beside him who has
been thinking effectively in straight
lines, moves up to where opportunity
is greater and reward is richer.
This rude awakening causes but a
temporary shock to his numb sensibil
ities, lasting, perhaps a day or two.
but producing in him no material
change for the better.
If any serious doubt as to his abil
ity should come to him at such a time
us this, it is instantly banished as
too burdensome, and he continues his
aimless trot in the old circle.
He doesn't ask himself whether he
is dependable, whether he thinks con
structively or whether he thinks at
all.
He doesn't ask whether he is given
to watching the clock and stealing
away frequently from his work to in
hale the aroma of his favorite ciga
rette.
He doesn't ask whether he in all
his time in his present position has
made a single suggestion of value to
his employer.
Ah, no! he has the faculty of avoid
ing duteous obligations, especially
those that would be likely to impose
upon him an additional stroke of
work, or interfere with his plans for
pleasure among his night associates.
Such a man Is not qualified for
straight thinking or straight going.
He is not capable of handling things
with intelligence and in the depths
of his heart he knows it.
He is a failure, and for no other
reason in the world than his own
perverseness Is moving In the old
circle—wandering about the best part
of his life in the wilderness.
