Every lens is inspected for accuracy, tested for toughness. Ail parts are made of strong, light, well- machined materials. They're comfortable and safe.

Council members should take an active leadership part in these license law campaigns. Write to headquarters for information. Negotiations .ire now being carried on for Regional Safety Conferences in 22 localities. Another opporttinity to lend your intiuence and support to a worth while activity. Rians are now- -amipfeted for the 11J -1 National Traffic Safety Contest and 1,000 announcement circulars already distributed, i ndiauapolis, Indiana, holds the honor of being the first city to enroll. About 25 per cent of the entries to date did not participate in the f>?2 contest. Is your city participat ing? Sometime ago the Council assembled more than 100 effective slogans and issued them on a printed sheet for use in the preparation of home made bulletins, filler material for piant magazines, for printing on pay envelopes and in other ways. There is a small supply of these sheets still available and members are welcome to a copy on request. Forms are being distributed to a selected list of community agencies and ciubs which will participate in a home stfety survey dur ing the month of February. Home accidents of all kinds will be reported and the data wilt be tabulated by the Council's Statistical Bureau. ( I! ,1 - : -i* it 1 -; ,\ l||f t'll'i'F II K<"!

As measured in forge;indies, light re garded a- adequate is only a minor fraerion of outdoor light as found under fin* shade 'if a tree, K\eellent data are available per taining to vision. Light has received wholly meoTtmienstirate attention. The objective, therefore, of the light ing industry should he rn aid human beings to see mure easily and clearly, to conserve their eyesight, avoid defeetive vision, i" imuva.se their use fulness and, efficiency ami their pleas ure in living. In the corn',-tive efforts being put forth, one must recognize we are not -rafting at the root of the trouble, \ greater realization of proper light ing will, however, provide the urge to safeguard our children from the hazards that the vision of past and present 'generations iia> been subjeefed to. fn reoenr years those who have been following the science of seeing have become eonvimvd that in applying the visual sense, the human machine expends energy other than that re quired in the process of seeing. An analogy might he made in the ease of a pedestrian crossing a street, which may be likened to the actual effort re quired in seeing. There is an addi tional energy required in determining whether the crossing may he made in safety, which, may lie likened to un measurable amount of nervous energy expended in useless work mid. in ad dition. nature hits provided us vvirlt a reserve energy rapacity to put forth b'efoiing w.is t-dieil a- file e'su.ai [ask :'"' 'his tost Tim sith.jeei was .c.aie.i ,-t: a ' 'fill........otailltllg at I ill-. lined ':!"!( for holding tile book, Hwas in-t rm-r.'i| !o read nuturyllv ami steadily. lienee rile tests were .... . doeieil under normal, rather than forced conditions which greatly facili tates the interpretation of the results and enhances their 'value, The sub ject was further instructed fo tv-i two or three lingers ..f tin- left hand upon a large rial klioli of a concealed key and to pres- [lie key- brmly as Im read the last wort.l on cadi page, This ami oVI'mlls .Oriel- p-d ami s were -mi[iloyeo lo conceal from I lie -i|b.je<n Ill" ' rile purpose o|` the lost, Reconi m end ed Fout candles: The pressure exerted unconsciously m the iso during the reading uimer the various illumination levels was automatically recorded at live--,....ud intervals, The liiml results 4, indi ati`d by tile curve in Figure I are the average values obtained from ihe com plete set of tests.

After this has been done, coat the entire surface with whiting. After the whiting has dried the oil will begin to appear thru if wherever there are deep-seated flaws having sur face openings, A blow with a hammer will help bring the oil to the surface. afety instruction card No. 3 To Test a Rubber Glove for Leaks ROLL cuff tightly. This w"ll compress enough air In the glove to determine whether it leaks. Th:s is only a rough test for gloves used when working on energited electrical equipment. A "high voltage test under proper supervision Is the only way to make sure gloves will give adequate pro tection for this kind of work. Workers other than electrical workers find It helps to detect leaks if the gloves are immersed in water while the atr is compressed in them. Any escaping air will form bubbles. SAFETY INSTRUCTION CARD No. 4 ^YAFETY requires that standard crane signals be used af all times. Otherwise, misunderstandings and accidents are almost sure to occur. This card illustrates the proper signals. i SAFETY INSTRUCTION CARD No. 5 JANUARY, 1933 To Fit Hammer Heads to Handles for Safety [JAMMER handles should be of the best * ' straight grained hickory, ash, or maple and free from slivers. Never depend on nails for wedges. If a wedge is used apply glue before you drive it. Make sure the handle fits well in the head. One way to make sure a head will not fly off is to make two long wedges as shown in the illus tration. Fit one on each side of the handle and drill a small hole thru the wedges and handle to receive a rivet.

Wooden ones are easily made and have the advantage of being light. Metal ones are often more substantial but should be light enough for safety in handling. This method of stacking not only helps to prevent accidents but also conserves space. till!) SAFETY instruction card No. 7 2 To Puf a Belt on a Pulley "j STOP THE MACHINERY.

Turn the pulley over by hand if possible, if not, make sure everyone Is clear, then apply the power 3 If the belt is small, use a smooth stick or hammer handle to force It into place. Whatever you use. be sure it is not thick enough to strain the belt unduly. To Check Peripheral Speeds of Grinding Wheels Underwriter's Knot WHENEVER flexible cords are con nected to electrical appliances such as light sockets or attachment plugs, j an Underwriter's knot should be tied in | the cord after it has been run through ' the hole in the shell. The knot will then fake the strain if the cord is pulled--thus preventing broken connections and i short circuits. Notice how the forming of this knot brings the wire ends into the same relj ative positions in which they were be' fore the knot was tied. iI | SAFETY INSTRUCTION CARD No. 9 A SIMPLE way to determine whether or not a wheel is operating at a speed greater than, say, 5,500 feet per minute is to multiply the diameter of the wheel in inches by the speed in revolu tions per minute and if the result is higher than 21,000 the speed is exces sive. Factors for other peripheral speeds are as follows: Peripheral Speed Factor 2500 feet per minute 9,550 3000 feet per minute . .

It will undoubtedly prove timely to review for just a moment one of the most unusual installations in recent years, since it may indicate a trend in building construction and plant illumination for the future. Much interest was created when the Hiinomis -Saw A Steel Company announced their plans to erect a windowiess factory. This .ill.500.000 structure located in Fitchburg, Mass., with floor space of 3(i0 feet by 540 teot, may well be termed the first all controlled conditions plant. Some of the factors which undoubt edly entered into the decision of the owners to plan a buildimr of this character may be summarized. The length of the working day is decreas ing1 and the present over-supply of workers may mean continued shorten in'.! of houi'', i'n the other hand, why -iiould not tlio f.-ietory building- and machine-, won, two, tin....or "V"ti four "hifls,' i ici'i'fio.M 1 nm> be te- diieed in di reel proportion die mmihec of -hilts.

The lighting eipiipment to he used consists of a Ao-iiieli mercury vapor tube in the shape of .a i` with four 75-watt Mazda lamps in a row down the center, The combination t,alecs u total load of approximately bob watts, riles,- mips are '.paced according to truss const ruction on I4x2<) feet cen ters anil mounted lido feet above the Hour, An average illumination level in service of the order of i'll to 25 footeandles is anticipated. I'nfnrrunarely business conditions during the past year have prevented an aerual cheek.

When the safety director Kami this very title seems to say to the worker "we are interested in your safety"1 suggests to the employee that a certain job be done a certain way, because it will stive him from an accident, in nine eases out of ten he will cooperate gladly. The "we are interested in you'' attitude does more than any amount of discipline to secure safety. Suppose on the other hand that the safety director is dispensed with, and tate ro choose the former. The bucket- of blood and bag of bones" is crude propaganda, of course, and is rapidly falling into dis favor, but the "safety director" with Ids "employee welfare'' motif must remain on tin equal plane of authority with the production manager, even to tiie extent of stopping production on an unsafe job if necessary. His sub ordination to the production manager would be a serious, if not a fatal blow to industrial v.fety. NATIONAL SAFETY NEWS Cl* It ItG S 1*0 X !i:X I' K COMMON SENSE METHODS Bloomfield, N. J.
