The Council has supplied I i mimeographed newspaper feature stories to key men in each of these states to help win public support. Council members should take an active leadership part in these license law campaigns. Write to headquarters for information. Negotiations are now being carried on for Regional Safety Conferences in 22 localities. Another opportttnity to lend your intiuence and support to a worth while activity. Plans are now completed for the tu.D National Traffic Safety Contest and 1,000 announcement circulars already distributed, t 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 1*132 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. ft! a -: ,f it u ' ,\ Hf t'.c.'F it K<"i i a t:i "Ut- .tin) :l,fir Ka-i,!- 'iirt,!f hy ;bf T Wen t i"l Is ' "til ii cy I' tttti I. !in 1 Tt<I a i' 1 imi (mi "1 b tin*fif.'iii .mil,ial am- limit,* hf.il ai'iini- ft ! i h.

The New Science of Seeing That seeing depends upon light ns well as upon eyes is a statement that needs mi proof, Yet it has not been nernlly realized how far indoor .irhting is hehnv the limit of daylight. As measured in f'onrc,`indies, iitrht re garded a- ;s<l>o[itutis only a minor fracrion of outdoor li/in as found under the shade of a tree. K\eellent data are available per taining to vision. Light lum received wholly incommensurate attention. The objective, therefore, of the [milt in'/ industry should be to aid human beings to see more easily and clearly, to conserve rheir evesjgltt, i" avoid defective vision, to increase their use fulness ynd, efficiency and their pleas ure in living. Ill the corrective efforts heimt put forth, one must recognize we are not -r.nrtimr at the root of the trouble, \ /rearer realization of proper light ing will, however, provide the urge I.* safeguard our children from the hazards that the vision of past and present /"iierat ions iia> been sub jected to. fn recent years those who have been following the science of seeing have become convinced that itt applying the visual sense, the human machine expends energy other man that re quired in tin* process of seem/. An analogy mt/hf 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 `Tossing tuny be made in -alVty, which, may be likened to im measurable amount of nervous energy expended in useless work and. in ad dition. nature has provided us wirli a reserve energy capacity to put forth h'catinoj' was fdicil .is the 'Wsijal i.isk e"` 'his r,`si Tile sith.ieci mis a,a id ,-t: :i , 111........ iiiaiinn/ an in clined cficK for holding the book, lie was nisi i-tji-r,o| road nuturallv and steadily. jjence tile tests were on Imoed under normal, cat her than forced conditions which greatly facili tates the interpretation of the residis and `-nhanecs iheir value, The -ubjert was further iiistrueted to ivs| i wo >r three tingers .,f the left hand upon a large rial klioli of a enm-euled key find to press [lie key lirmly as he read the last won,!, on cadi page, This and , ;u`]OI|s otilec "V pel lei'll s \sere -`111ploy.i.l O, conceal from I lie si|bjo`0 T11 " ' I'lle pUI'jlosM of the t"sl, Rocum m end ed Fout candles The prc"iire exerted unconsciously on ilm !:".

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.

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. til!) SAFETY instruction card No. 7 2 To Puf a Belt on a Pulley "j STOP THE MACHINERY.

Whatever you use. be sure it is not thick enough to strain the belt unduly. 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.

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 Siinmuis -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 ffb'O 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 um> 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 I4xff<) feet cen ters anil mounted lido feet above the Hour, An average illumination level in service of the order of i'll to g5 footeandles is anticipated. I'llforrunarely business conditions during the past year have prevented an aerual cheek.

The key word of the safely move ment. as .Ur. Morris hints in Ills ar title is better calculated to arouse the immediate antagonism of the worker' comes to him and says. "Look here, ticle. has always been "welfare. ' All safety propaganda lias been and must lie directed at die worker, fur lie K as Mr. Morris says, "responsible for j |ter cent of the injuries whieh oe- fohii, I. want von to wear vonr goggles on rimt job; we'll lose a lot of money if your eye ,/cis knocked out and yon have to stop turning out work." -lohn will think though he may nor dare | dir."

As soon as this secure the cooperation of the em production man turns away, off come ployee. rn Lfct him to understand that the goggles, John has not realized not only his employer hut also he himself benefits from the safety pol icies of the plant. Therefore if is his duty---to the plant.' Xo! to himself .and to Ids family- -to work safely. This policy Inis secured trend results,- and if is logical that if should, Every human likes to know that he. as an individual. Is heimr given sincere consideration. Lie likes to feel that the people for whom he works are interested in him. and j he welcomes any step whieh gives evi that he hints,df will lie rhe chief suf ferer if he loses an eye, It does not require much thought to sec which is the best title for the safety man. when rile workers' psy chology is considered. No tnanttfaemrer, when given the choice between a group of employees safe in the knowl edge that their company is interested in them, and a dissatisiied. antagonis tic group which feels that the com pany is interested only in itself--its employees do mu count, would hesi dence of this interest. 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. 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 his "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 Suppose on the other hand that the would be a serious, if not a fatal blow safety director is dispensed with, and to industrial v.fety.
