t Women Safer In Fatal Accidents for Males In House 50 Per Cent. More Women have acquired the art of sate living at home to a greater degree than men, if fatal accidents in the home are a criterion. Fatal accidents for males in the broad agze range 15 to 64 years are about 50 per cent. higher in the home than among females in the same age range, says the New York Sun. "This excess among males is the more remarkable when it is considâ€" ered that at this time of life men spend a large part of their active hours away from home, in industry, while women‘s chief occupation is the care of the home," is the comâ€" ment of the statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Comâ€" pany, who recently have made a study of accidental deaths among industrial _ policyholders. While moen are less likely to suffer minor injuries in home â€"accidents, this «‘udy revealed the fact that their eaances of being killed are one and eneâ€"half times as great as are those of women. More Of Them Fell Falls caused slightly less than half the deaths for each sex, but were _ oneâ€"third _ more _ frequent among men. An investigation into the _ cireumstances _ surrounding these accidents reveals that more men than women died from falls off roofs, from ladders, porches and balconies. This suggzests that many of these victims had attempted reâ€" pair jobs around the home for which they were not qualified or did not have the proper equipment. However, in considering deaths from falls down stairs, by far the most important type of fall in the home, there was also found a greatâ€" er number of deaths among men than among women. Deaths from poisonous gas were found to be three times as frequent among men. Threeâ€"fifths of these deaths among males were from ilâ€" luminating gas and oneâ€"fourth from automobile carbon monoxide gas. English People Living Longer British Women‘s Expectation Of Life Is 2%; Years Greater Now Than in 1910, Statistics The average Englishwoman of 40 can now expect another 32.92 years of life, 2%% years more than a woâ€" man of the same age could have expected in 1910. So says the Leaâ€" gue of Nations statistical yearâ€"book for 1938, just published at Geneva. The 40â€"yearâ€"old Englishman is not quite so fortunate. He can exâ€" pect only another 29.87 years, as compared with 27.74 years‘ expecâ€" tation of a 40â€"yearâ€"old in 1910. But in the matters of longevity, women always do better than men. Nobody is certain just why; one theory is that women‘s tissues are more resilient than men‘s, and reâ€" pair more easily. Another theory advanced only by men, is that woâ€" men have easier, loss worrying, laâ€" tlor lives. Keeps Going Up Whatever the reason, however, all life statistics prove that females live longer than males, among huâ€" man beings. And in this country all human lives averaged out are getting longer. Sir Kingsley Wood, then minister of Health, pointed out last year that when a boy is born he may expect to live for 59 years, whereas in 1871 he could expect only 40 years, and in 1910 only 51%%. A girl born now has an expectaâ€" tion of life of 63 years; in 1871 it was 434. in 1910, 55%. How to Remove Grit From Eye Try Insesting Soaked Flax Seed Under the Lid Ever had grit in your eye? Well, there is a man who specializes in removing obstacles from the eye. He is Dr. Joseph Minton, who states that of the 10,000 eyeâ€"injurâ€" ies suffered by industrial workers, 80 per cent. are preventable. He was resident surgeon of the Royal Eye Hospital, London, England, in 1936 and is now pressing unions # workmen to take action to ateguard their sight Lie Down 15 Minutes And talking of grit, another Do¢â€" for, J. F. McKenna, trainer of the Canadian lee Hockey team, always earries about a few flax seeds in an envelope. If a person gets a tiny bit of steel or grit in an eye, he soaks a couple of flax sseds in water for a few minutes and inserts them under the eyelid. Then he advises the patient to lie down for 15 minutes, and at the end of that time the flax seeds swell and work their way to one corner of the eye, taking the grit with them. Unless the particle is actually embedded in the eye, this method invariably sug Home Than Men ceeds dusmniiiu oi tfi nttiminngs : ues C nEdep mm OfFf Spe;fifiaâ€"eâ€";tâ€"u to Women Readers "Hello, honey!"

Not if 1 can help it," her husband deâ€" clared; but she interrupted her vigorous protest by saying: "Maybe not, but it‘s such fun to get readyâ€"and I haven‘t anyâ€" thing else to pack. I can‘t sit still and merely wait! I‘ve packed and unpacked a half dozen times.

Home! I‘m going to pack every day. That telegram about the stateroom has done more to cure me thanâ€"than anything. I am well! Don‘t you think 1 am?" Gloria‘s voice quavered, broke; her face was briefly contorted and tears appeared upon her lashes. "Sure, you‘re well. Just played out with the heat and the conâ€" founded _ monotony, that‘s all. Wait till you begin to breathe the good salt air." "And our stateroom is on the shady side of the ship!" "I made sure of that. What‘s more, those fruiters pump cool air into the cabins. Oh, it won‘t take you long to pick up! I want you to have your old pep and your old color back when we land. You‘ve got to have it orâ€"well, the family will make it deuced unpleasant for me." A furrow appeared between Fisk‘s dusty brows. He stared about the sparsely furnished room, then he said, earnestly: "You‘ve been a game kid to put up with this. It was worse than 1 expectâ€" ed; yes, worse than your people said it would be. If I‘d realized just what it was like here, I‘d never have brought you.

If you get poor coffee in a restaurant you feel that your money has been wasted and though one never criticizes hospitality, it is disapâ€" pointing to find a hostess who serves pale, wishyâ€"washy tastcless liquid and calls it coffee,. The question of coffeeâ€"making is important because it is made as often if not oftener than any other drink. And it‘s just as easy to make good coffee as poor cofâ€" fee. Behind properly made coffee, whether it‘s boiled, drip or percoâ€" lated, there are certain fundamenâ€" tal rules. You must have a good blend of coffee; it must be fresh, the grind must be right and then it should be carefully measured and properly brewed. Coffee made any old way may pass but to get a fragrant, steamâ€" ing cup of rich and satisfying cofâ€" fee, it must be made aecording to a recipe. For those who feel there is room for improvement in the coffee they serve, we are giving the rules for making boiled, drip and percolated coffee. BOILED COFFEE Use 1 heaning tablespoon ground coffee and % tablespoon beaten egg for each cup (% pint) cold water. Combine coffee and erg in pot and mix thoroughly. Pour in water and bring slowly to a boil, stirring coffee down occaâ€" sionally. Remove from fire imâ€" mediately and let stand in warm place 3 to 5 minutes. Pour % cup ccld water into pot to settle. Strain from grounds through a fine wire strainer, muslin, or checsecloth. (Boiled coffee may also be prepared without egg but it is less clear.) To get the best boiled coffee, it shouldn‘t be boiled. By keeping it under boilâ€" ing point all the good flavors and none of the unpleasant ones are brought out. DRIP COFFEE Drip coffee is practically fool proof but a few pointers should be noted in preparing it. Use an allâ€"purpose or drip grind. Use 1 heaping tablespoon coffee for eack cup of boiling water. Preâ€" heat drip coffee pot. Put coffee in upper compartment of pot. Pour fresh briskly boiling water over it. Cover and let stand in warm place until all water has dripped through once. Remove upper comâ€" partment and cover pot. Keep hot until served by placing in pan of boiling water or on an ashestos mat over a low flame. PERCOLATED COFFEE Percolated coffee is probably the most generally made because it‘s so easy, but the right method is apt to be neglected. The startâ€" ing point is to have all parts of the coffee pot spotless and shinâ€" ing. Use 1 heaping tablespoon ground coffee for each cup (!% pint) of cold water. Pour cold water into pot. Set percolator basâ€" ket in pot and put coffee in it. Cover. Let percolate slowly and gently 10 to 15 minutes. Whenever we have tasted a cup of perfect coffee, no matter what the method of making it was, we know that behind it is a history of a good blend; freshness; propâ€" er preparation and an immaculateâ€" ly clean coffee pot. That‘s why it‘s impossible to say which of the three methods is bestâ€"they‘re all best when properly made. The Art of Coffeeâ€" Making Few Simple Gadgets, Plenty of Hot Water and Soap System Needed The first step in easy dishwashâ€" ing has nothing to do with the washing. It is merely a matter of scraping the food from the dishes, rinsing them under the hot water faucet, and stacking them in neat piles near the sink. These preliminâ€" ary steps are time savers, but the important part of good dishwashâ€" ing technique is to start with a dish pan full of hot soapy water and to keep changing the water as soon as it becomes soiled and the suds die down. Abundant soapsuds and hot water are the best kind of insurance agâ€" ainst disease germs whether the dishes are washed in a dishpan or with some other modern device. Cold, flat suds are ineffective germ removers. They slow up the washâ€" ing and leave glassware streaky and dull. Immaculate dishmops and towels are necessary for every batch of dishes. Soiled cloths are not only unpleasant to handle; they undo all the good work of the soap and waâ€" ter. In Dishwashing Glamour Girls Vanishing Fast Movie Men Recognize the Pubâ€" Ic Soon Grows Tired of The glamour girls are going fast from the screen and Henry King, a noted Hollywood director, is hapâ€" py about the whole idea. Intriguing actresses always will be in the foreground, but they must offer more than just feminine charm, declared Mr. King. "Mere man is beset with so many problems these days," King pointâ€" ed out, "that he goes to the theâ€" atre for music, comedy, or & stirâ€" ring artistic story â€" He wants to forget his troublesâ€"lose himself in the picture. "The oldâ€"type glamour girl was noticeably in the foreground of each film, but not always an integâ€" ral part of the picture. She made an appeal to the audience that was direct. Prolong Careers "Actresses became known to the public as glamour girls, became typed in the public mind, and audiâ€" ences wouldn‘t accept them in any other kind of a story or role afterâ€" ward. "Producers now are much smartâ€" er than they were. They change the type of roles of their players from picture to picture â€" with an eye not only to present boxâ€"office demands but with the firm intenâ€" tion of avoiding typing star players â€"thus prolonging their screen Caâ€" reers "As a case in point, Alice Faye started in pictures as a singer, She has been placed in first one type of role and then another by Darryl F.

More Boys Than Girls A Problem Outnumber Them Two To One Child Guidance Bureau Shows Boys outnumbered girls two to one in the total of "problem childâ€" ren" treated by the Child Guidance Bureau of New York City schools, according to the report of the deâ€" partment of education. The cause of this wide differenâ€" tial was attributed, in part, to the sympathetic treatment girls receive from teachers and, in part, to the inclination of girls to hide personâ€" ality disturbances. Learn to Type at Home The report shows that nearly 75 per cent. of "problem children", taâ€" ken under the bureau‘s wing, had been helped to satisfactory or parâ€" tial adjustment of psychiatric, psyâ€" chological and physical troubles.

Teach Adults, Expert Urges Education Is Weapon in Hands HALIFAX.â€"Adult education as a means to strengthen democracies against influence of totalitariarism was stressed by Dr. Morse Cartâ€" wright, New York, director of the American Association of Adult Eduâ€" cation, addressing the 18th annual session of the Canadian Education Association here. Dr. Cartwright‘s speech was deâ€" livered at a dinner which marked the conclusion of the society‘s Haliâ€" fax sittings. The conventionp will meet again in Saint John, N.B., and later in Charlottetown. Dr, Cartwright said all significant political changes had occurred in the name of democracy.

In this way, the shield can easily be clipped in to the dress and taken out again for washing. Also, one pair of shields does for several dresses. To save a lot of hard scerubbing when a man‘s shirt cuffs get very soiled, try dipping them in made starch before soaking the shirt. The dirt comes out quite easily after this treatment and the cuffs aren‘t weakened by â€" constant scrubbing. Store pickles in small jars inâ€" stead of in a few large ones. If you use big ones, you may find that the solid pickles rise above the vinegar and go musty. Try fastening down your jam pot covâ€" ers with a strip of wide adhesive tape instead of string â€" it makes the jars absolutely airâ€"tight. The bottled fruit will have corks inâ€" stead of covers. Boil these corks and press them into the bo‘tle while they are still hot. Wheon they cool, they will swell a liitle and become really tigh.
