OUNCES OF PREVENTION Suggested by the Industrial Accident Board—The Best Insurance The subject of insurance against industrial hazard has, just now, a prominent place in the public mind, and it is important that it shall have, but the best and cheapest insurance known lies in accident prevention, to which the legislative and industrial forces of California have given relatively little attention. However, the legislature, at its recent extra session, empowered, and required, the industrial accident board to ascertain and investigate the best-known methods and devices for preventing the happening of industrial accidents. As time passes this board will have much to report that will be of interest to both workers and employers. Meantime, a few hints may be thrown out that should prove of practical advantage. From our press clippings we cull a few actual instances. Caught In the Gearings One of the most common devices for transmitting power, and for accelerating or diminishing speed, is by the use of interacting cogged-wheels, commonly known as gearings. Nearly every machine operated by power has them and they are a prolific source of accident. Charles A. Hulce, of Los Alamitos, a machinist twenty-two years of age, was caught, on February 15th in the gearings of a machine he was oiling at the beet sugar factory at that place. His left hand was frightfully injured, the wrist pulled loose from the bones of the fore arm and the thumb was torn off. Tetanus set in and he died on February 26, 1912. Without seeing the machine it is impossible to tell how that gearing could have been so protected that an oiler would not get his hand caught, but gearings are usually so protected by sheet iron shields held onto the frame work ofips, J. A. Nunn, James Irvine, E. E. Remsberg, A. Stephenson and G. A. Whidden, on the authority of stockholders' meeting held on Jan. 25. At that meeting 465,947 shares of stock were represented and every share voted in favor of dissolution as a corporation. Between $100,000 and $125,000 in stock was sold in Santa Ana. The company was unable to carry out the project to a final test to determine whether or not there was anything in the business. The money subscribed was practically a complete loss. According to the petition there is $4500 left in the treasury to be distributed to the stockholders. The desert plant and the Aliso plant have been sold. "PANIER," DOOMS HOBBLE Dressmakers Expect to Lure Women Back to Antebellum Styles Chicago, Ill., March 20. Given time and opportunity, dressmakers of this country will eventually lure women back to the immense hoopskirts of ante-bellum days. The trim hobble is hopelessly doomed, and in its place this season comes the panier gown. Three thousand dressmakers from all parts of the United States, now assembled in Chicago, are enthusiastic over the panier, which is admitted to be the forerunner of the hoopskirts. In two years at the latest, they predict, the wide hoopskirts will be the rage. In millinery the most startling novelty this season will be tiny electric lights in the hair. These are operated by a very small, flat storage battery worn in the corsage and highly decorative in itself because of its artistic design and jeweled effect. The light bulbs present various tinted flowers and are very fetching when arranged in the coliffure. Another pattern carries the storage latentteen and sevenths per cent. ing revenues are of which must o interest on bonds betterments, and Taxes for January 579,337, an average. These results for size for all the re-line for the month operating revenue cent; operating excent; net decreased 15 per cent ed 11.7 per cent. The foregoing oken from the sun and expenses of the January issued by way economics states that the nue per mile of line was 7 per cent less 1910. Therefore operating revenue for January, 1912, less than for Janu February 15th in the gearings of a machine he was oiling at the beet sugar factory at that place. His left hand was frightfully injured, the wrist pulled loose from the bones of the fore arm and the thumb was torn off. Tetanus set in and he died on February 26, 1912. Without seeing the machine it is impossible to tell how that gearing could have been so protected that an oiller would not get his hand caught, but gearings are usually so protected by sheet iron shields bolted onto the frame work of the machine so as to cover the tooth-ed wheels perfectly except at the oil holes. This protection can generally be added at a cost of $1.50 to $5 a machine and, if the machine be purchased new and the buyer insist that protection be affixed, it is usual to provide it without additional cost. Some very large gearings would cost more for such protection, but protection can usually be afforded at the price named. The value of that young life, as calculated by actuaries for purposes of selling annuities, was $6264 for each dollar per day of wages earned. If, a machinist, he received $3 per day, the state lost in his untimely death an asset worth $18,792, perhaps enough to cover all the gearings on all the machines in all the coast counties between San Francisco and San Diego. Tetanus Set In That was probably because the wound was not aseptically treated at the start. The American Red Cross society will furnish a little booklet on first aid to the injured for $1 and a little outfit for rendering aseptic first aid for $6. Every industrial plant and farm should have such an outfit and it should be the duty of some one person on the ground to learn how to apply first aid to serve until a doctor can be had. All gearings are greasy, dirty things and likely to be germ infected. When lives are worth so much it will pay to go to a little expense in having someone about the place taught how to care for wounds until a doctor arrives. Such treatment might have saved this life, economically worth $18,000 to $20,000, although it could not have saved a hand economically worth perhaps one-fourth as much as the life. The Set Screw William F. Dale, engineer of the Lodi steam laundry, was killed December 21, 1911 his clothes having caught on a set screw whirling his body around the shaft until his life was crushed out. The set screw is to industry what the toy pistol is to they predict, the wide hoopskirts will be the rage. In millinery the most startling novelty this season will be tiny electric lights in the hair. These are operated by a very small, flat storage battery worn in the corsage and highly decorative in itself because of its artistic design and jeweled effect. The light bulbs present various tinted flowers and are very fetching when arranged in the colfure. Another pattern carries the storage battery in the crown of the hat, and is intended for evening wear exclusively, where the hats are not removed. Getting back to the new gowns, the panier is constructed much on the order of the hoopskirt, though it is decreed that the waist shall not be as tight as grandmother wore. Neither does it come down to a point, as in the olden days. The skirt is drawn quite tight from the knees down, the extreme style showing in its design from the hips to the knees. This portion is very loose and draped gracefully to the knees, where it is drawn tight by a band of chiffon taffeta. Fur also will be used in the trimming to stay the flowing skirt. Visiting dressmakers professed to be shocked over reports from Paris of the new slit skirt, the slit extending well above the knee, and to be worn with openwork stockings with large mesh. Mme. Ripley, president of the dressmakers club, said American scouts, just back from Paris, where they have kept close watch on everything new in styles, had reported seeing a few of these startling gowns, but she said very few American women would be daring enough to wear them. The skirts are made extremely narrow and tight, so that the wearer's limbs are actually exposed from the foot to a point 1 or 2 inches above the knee. High-heeled shoes and corsets that mutilate the wearer are coming in for the customary condemnation. The dressmakers are especially hostile o high-heeled shoes, as they say a woman can never be graceful or wear her clothes well if she is hobbled or handicapped by stilted shoes. Physicians also add their voice to the general clamor, announcing that many of the ill woman is heir to can be traced directly to the high-heeled shoes. These ailments become more aggravated in later years. During the week all the new things in gowns will be brought forth, and the creators promise some handsome and startling effects, although they vision at Washington's Panama Pacific position at San Oakland will be no city to assist in of the exposition to the attention week ago when of the state attends within the walls of significant Hotel Oakland.

The Set Screw William F. Dale, engineer of the Lodi steam laundry, was killed December 21, 1911 his clothes having caught on a set screw whirling his body around the shaft until his life was crushed out. The set screw is to industry what the toy pistol is to a celebration of the Fourth of July—the cheapest and most effective instrumentality yet known for taking life with the largest attendant measure of horrors. A set screw is a screw running through the hub of a pully wheel and "set" hard against the shaft to prevent the pully turning on the shaft. It is usually permitted to protrude an inch or two so as to get caught in the clothing of anyone brushing against or leaning over the pully wheel. Any such screw can be so sunk below the surface of the hub that it cannot catch at all and work with a wrench that will fit into it instead of over its head at a cost of 25 to 50 cents. In Dale's death a mother lost a son, a wife a husband, and the state an industrial worker possessing an economic value of many thousand of dollars, all of which might have been saved at a cost not to exceed 50c. Who could ask for cheaper insurance than that? DISSOLVING SODA COMPANY Attorneys Scarborough & Forgy of Santa Ana this week filed a petition for the dissolution of the Pacific coast soda company, which company long since was an admitted failure. The petition comes from the board of directors, E. B. Smith, Mit Phill- ANAHEIM GAZETTE seventeen and seven-tenths per cent; in the east it was ten and seventhths per cent. These net operating revenues are gross profits, out of which must come taxes, rentals, interest on bonds, appropriations for betterments, and dividends. Taxes for January amounted to $9,579,337, an average of $42 per mile. These results for January summarize for all the railways per mile of line for the month as follows: Total operating revenues decreased 2.8 per cent; operating expenses increased 1.3 per cent; net operating revenues decreased 15 per cent; taxes increased 11.7 per cent. The foregoing compilations are taken from the summary of revenues and expenses of the railways for January issued by the bureau of railway economics. This summary also states that the net operating revenue per mile of line for January, 1911, was 7 per cent less than for January, 1910. Therefore, the average net operating revenue per mile of line for January, 1912, was over one-fifth less than for January, 1910. OAKLAND WILL BE READY Preparing for International Exposition in 1915 Oakland, Cal., April 3.—When the president of the United States presides the button in the executive mansion at Washington that will open the Panama Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco in 1915, Oakland will be ready. The preparations that are being made in this city to assist in the entertainment of the exposition throngs was brought to the attention of the public a week ago when prominent citizens of the state attended a luncheon within the walls of the new and magnificent Hotel Oakland. This new structure has cost a million and one-quarter not count- added to the duties of the commission, thus necessitating the additional help. Salary increases of $50 per month were awarded the secretary, assistant secretary and rate expert. Chas R. Detrick is named as secretary. RELICS OF THE MAINE Mementoes of Battleship to Be Distributed to Cities The plans of the joint army and navy board for the distribution of the relics of the Maine finally have been approved by the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy and the commandant of the Washington navy yard is now prepared to honor requisitions from municipalities organizations and others to whom the relics have been allotted. The naval academy museum will have many interesting relics; some will go to the national museum in Washington and some will be permanently displayed in the navy department library. Key West is one of the luckiest municipalities, getting the top of one of the big ten-inch gun turrets. Pittsburg secured the massive torpedo launching tube, which will make a fine monumental piece. Galvanic action probably caused the complete destruction of many metal articles submerged for 14 years in the wreck, but there were some remarkable exceptions. The gold bands of the ship's chronometer shine as brilliantly as when the Maine was in commission from behind protecting plate glass, which sealed the delicate works against the corrosive salt water. A GREAT RECORD Hard to Duplicate It in Anaheim. Scores of representative citizens of Anaheim are testifying for Doan's Kidney Pills. Such a record of local endorsement is unequalled in mo- gamekeeper, who, in language more forcible than polite, ordered him off the grounds. Remonstrance only produced more "langwidge" from the big burly one. "Sir," said the pompous one, "do you know who I am? I am the Faulds of Ardgeriff." "I don't care if you are the Falls of Niagara," said the gamekeeper, "ye're gooon out o' this." CHILDREN LEAVE SCHOOL In Missouri They Must Help Support the Family St. Louis, Mo., April 2.—More than 100 children quit the St. Louis public schools every week because of the high cost of living, according to reports made to the superintendent and the board of education. The report shows that of the thirty or forty pupils who withdraw daily from the various grades more than two-thirds are compelled to do so because of the urgent need of their parents and themselves. This need is apparent in the faces of the children and the clothing they wear. Of 123 permits issued for children to go to work the first four days of last week eighty-six were entered under the head of "poverty; to increase family income; necessary." There were few cases in which the answers given to questions caused the entry to be "to increase family income; unnecessary." HOW HE MANAGED IT I was in an awkward predicament yesterday morning, said a husband to another. How was that? Why, I came home late, and my wife heard me and said, "John what time is it?" and I said, "Only twelve my dear," and just then that cuckoo clock of ours sang out three times. sion at Washington that will open the Panama Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco in 1915, Oakland will be ready. The preparations that are being made in this city to assist in the entertainment of the exposition throngs was brought to the attention of the public a week ago when prominent citizens of the state attended a luncheon within the walls of the new and magnificent Hotel Oakland. This new structure has cost a million and one-quarter, not counting the cost of the land and the furnishings that are to be installed. It is one of the most beautiful hotels in the country, will contain five hundred sleeping rooms and have the most up-to-date accommodations of any hostelry yet erected. Oakland citizens realize that it is to the benefit of their city to have the exposition in San Francisco and they are co-operating with the fair committees in every possible way. Oakland's new hotel is not the only preparation that is being made by this city for the hordes of visitors that will come to California in 1915. On nearly every prominent corner of the city some individual or firm is erecting a huge office structure, apartment house or hotel. There are no "outskirts" to the city of Oakland any more. The Southern Pacific Company is erecting a handsome new passenger station at a cost of $300,000. This new depot will add to the beauty of "The Athens of America," will relieve congestion of suburban traffic and be one of the best assets of this residence city. Oakland's waterfront, one of the busiest shipping centers on the Pacific coast, will be extended to twice its present capacity by the time of the exposition. Oakland feels that San Francisco exposition will benefit everything on San Francisco bay and she is getting ready to receive some of those benefits. SHIPS CAN'T HANDLE PRODUCE More Flour, Wheat and Potatoes Offered at Portland for California Than Steamers Can Carry Portland, April 3.—More wheat, flour and potatoes are being offered for shipment from Portland to San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, than can be handled by the big fleets of steamers in the coastwise service. On every trip recently, the agents of the lines have been obliged to turn away freight on account of lack of steamer space. According to officials of the North Pacific steamship company, the volsome remarkable exceptions. The gold bands of the ship's chronometer shine as brilliantly as when the Maine was in commission from behind protecting plate glass, which sealed the delicate works against the corrosive salt water. A GREAT RECORD Hard to Duplicate it in Anaheim. Scores of representative citizens of Anaheim are testifying for Doan's Kidney Pills. Such a record of local endorsement is unequalled in modern times. This public statement made by a citizen is but one of the many that have preceded it and the hundreds that will follow. Read it: Mrs. N. Hart, 128 S. Claudina St., Anaheim, Cal., says: "I am only too glad to recommend a remedy of such great value as Doan's Kidney Pills. I suffered severely from rheumatic pains for some time and my back was so weak and lame that I could hardly get about. On a friend's advice, I procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at Mullinix's drugstore and commenced their use. I was surprised by the results, as the first dose brought me relief. After I had taken the contents of one box, kidney trouble had been driven from my system. I gave a statement for publication in 1907 setting forth my experience with this remedy and I now gladly confirm all I then said. The benefit Doan's Kidney Pills gave me has been permanent."

MICHELIN QUICK DETACHABLE CLINCHER TIRE Tire fitting is not always the easy task motorists could wish, but the Michelin Tire company has minimized the difficulty with the introduction of its 1912 Quick Detachable Clincher. An important advantage of this tire is that it is very easy to put on any quick detachable rim. It eliminates the necessity for laborious fitting. It simply drops on the rim without forcing and without the use of tools. Another feature is the elimination of the inside envelope flap or tube protector, which has usually been considered a necessary evil. The absence of protectors simplifies the fitting of inner tubes, reducing the danger of pinching, as well as the labor formerly involved when protectors were necessary. The Michelin quick detachable clincome; unnecessary." Portland, April 3.—More wheat, flour and potatoes are being offered for shipment from Portland to San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, than can be handled by the big fleets of steamers in the coastwise service. On every trip recently, the agents of the lines have been obliged to turn away freight on account of lack of steamer space. According to officials of the North Pacific steamship company, the volume of tonnage going down the coast is greater than ever known before at this season of the year. Agents of the Harriman and the Pacific coast lines voice similar views. There are no suitable steamers on the coast available for placing on the route to assist the regular vessels in taking care of the business, or they would be chartered. Farm products make up the principal bulk of freight going south. The grain shipments to the south have been unusually heavy. Of late big quantities of flour and spuds have been sent down there. RAILROAD COMMISSION Enlarged Powers Necessitates Increased Salaries The annual payroll of the enlarged railroad commission, through the appointments made at the reorganization of the commission, amounts to $91,820. This includes the salaries of the five commissioners. A full list of the appointments was filed in the state controller's office. With its enlarged powers over all public utilities of the state, through the new law passed at the special session and effective since last Friday, a vast amount of new work is it eliminates the necessary for laborious fitting. It simply drops on the rim without forcing and without the use of tools. Another feature is the elimination of the inside envelope flap or tube protector, which has usually been considered a necessary evil. The absence of protectors simplifies the fitting of inner tubes, reducing the danger of pinching, as well as the labor formerly involved when protectors were necessary. The Michelin quick detachable clincher is shaped full and round. The thread is broad and flat. The side walls are properly proportioned to assure maximum durability without sacrificing resiliency. It is believed by the Michelin Co. that car owners will appreciate a tire of advanced design that at once removes several of the old vexations of motoring. WASHINGTON COAL LANDS ARE WITHDRAWN During the month of February, there were withdrawn from public entry, 41,745 acres of land in the state of Washington believed to be underlain by coal. As in other withdrawals of coal land these lands will be classified in 40-acre tracts, appraised by the geological survey under the valuation regulations of the interior department, and then placed on the market for sale.
