The Editor Talks In our Talks last week we referred to the Ontario Safety League's efforts to establish Safety Patrols in schools. Since we wrote that article the American American Institute of Electrical Engineers Engineers have held a meeting in Toronto at which an evening was spent in discussing discussing "Accident Prevention," the chief speaker being Mr. Chas. B. Scott of Chicago. His address, as briefly reported in the press, was illuminating illuminating on this subject. He was claims agent on a small railway somè years ago and after a time was convinced convinced that many accidents that occurred occurred could have been prevented. Mr. Scott stated that the material and equipment of his company were O.K., the rules and discipline and personnel of the operating force were the best obtainable, but yet the accidents kept occurring. Accidents were only, stopped stopped after the men had been collected together and the matter laid before them and their co-operation asked as to how best to prevent accidents. Since that time employees have been meeting monthly, and a great decrease in accidents has been the result. Mr. Scott made the startling statement that industrial accidents v in the United United States for "the year 1914 were the cause of more deaths than occurred ^n the British Army. for. the first thirteen thirteen months of the war. * * * * While the preventative measures referred to apply largely to factories and railroads, the principles are applicable applicable in all spheres of human activity. activity. For instance, Mr. Scott éxplain- ed that to prevent accidents it was absolutely necessary to educate the workman and appeal to the best that was in him. This may be carried on by buttons, banners, hurrah meetings, etc., but it is far better to realize that the humblest workman has the same father love as is felt by the highest executive. And if this workman is appealed appealed to in the right way and the work of accident prevention presented FEWER PEOPLE GROWING OLDER The Public Health Service reports that more people live to the age of forty years to-day, but from forty to sixty years mortality is increasing from degenerative diseases in the U.

He who has looked for the best in others, and has given the best he had in himself, fairly, honestly and loyally, to his business, his company, his community, cannot fail'to achieve success. His life will have been an inspiration--his inspiration--his memory a benediction." How we should like to know how many readers write letters to soldiers soldiers ? Again and often we have been told in letters from soldiers at the Front that they yerirn for home letters. letters. Not many of us but can, if we will, write letters to the boys Who are fighting our battles, defending our country from ravages of the enemy.

We are really very much afraid that very few of,us, comparatively, write any letters to the soldiers except, perhaps, to our very own sons, brothers or sweethearts. She says further, Surely nothing stands in the way ; of our sending the soldier boys just what they are craving craving for. Wonder Raw many of us measure up to the mother who got ! such an enthusiastic letter of -praise ! from her son "in the .trenches ? This mother had the right idea--gave/ 7 to her son what cheered him and amused amused him. y * * * * Our readers will be divided in opinion, opinion, no doubt, to be told just the course this fond mother adopted, but the reply she got showed clearly how well her kind of letters was appreciated. appreciated. The best kind of letter, aside from real business letters, is the one that gives real pleasure to the recipient. recipient. Here is a part of this boy's letter letter to his mother: "You don't know how much your kind of letters mean to a fellow out here. Most of the boys get such lugubrious letters from home, but yours are such cheery ones and the fellows all envy me for I'm about the only one with a fresh supply of jokes. Most of their mothers' letters seem to be full of nothing but pictures of the horrors,of war. As if we didn't know more about them than anybody at home could tell us!" Would you like to know what kind of letters this boy's mother writes him? She sends him nothing.but the latest jokes she can find. She goes to a matinee every Monday afternoon and writes them all down. Then she sprightly fills her letter with them and closes it with a "God bless you, my son, and bring you home safe to your loving mother." You see, the boy's sister sends him all the home news, so mother feels she can supply the comedy. Is it any wonder her boy's trench mates envy him his mother? * * *. * We all have some friend or relative at the front, or overseas, who is longing longing for home letters, so we ate tempted tempted to quote more of Cordelia's article for their benefit. There are two sides to this letter-writing question. We are longing, too, for letters from them and thousands of very, interesting letters letters are appèaring in the newspapers from the boys overseas and what more attractive reading do we find in the papers ? "It seems as if I never knew my son until he went overseas,", declared one mother the other day. "I fairly gasp at his wonderful letters." For this mother is one of those for-, tunate ones whose sons send them the very letters their souls crave. His tales of the life across the seas fill her with fresh courage. For years many have deplored Capada's lack of a literature. However, However, the war has given one to her. For no world master ever excelled some of the letters which now reach Canadian shores from overseas. What a pity so many of them are never read but by the fond mothers who cherish them. Even before the boys reach the battlefront, their letters teem with their delight^ in their wanderings in thé Motherland, which they have found more than lives up to the tra- ditiorfs. What a welcome has been theirs! * * * * Canadians have won their way into British hearts by their wonderful courage and bravery, and Canada has been given such a place in the annals annals of the Empire as will never die. Cordelia touches upon this idea, saying: saying: Every mail brings our mothers fresh instances of how British hearts and homes have . welcomed their splendid young Canadians. Just the other day. one Tororito mother had such a joyful letter. It told of how her young son, on his last leave, had travelled to an inland camp to see his brother. Finding him gone on a route march of several days, he and his companion had turned to go back to their camp without having had a very satisfactory holiday. However, just then a lady stepped up and - asked them if they would kindly be her guests for their two days' leave. On reaching her home, the boys* found themselves in one of England's stateliest homes. y 7 "It was just like one of thqse big houses in the movies," wrote the boy. "You fairly stepped over butlers and thirigs, and what do y cm think,; up in our bedroom was one of those bell- ropes. The lady, just smothered us with kindness, We went for motor trips and the servants simply tripped over themselves waiting on us. Afterwards Afterwards we went to London .and saw the Tower and everything there was to see. We went all through Westminster Westminster Abbey and there was the most wonderful old. guy there who escorted us around. Why, he knew everybody there, and could tell you the year they were born, the year they died, and what they died of!" No doubt this is only one experience of thousands that might be related by Canadians in the Old Countries. ❖ --• Hair Tonic Needed. Lodger--I wish you would put another another mattress on my. bed,.
