INDUSTRIES KILL MORE THAN WAR Commissioner Jackson Shows Figures as Compared With Battle of Gettysburg Commissioner John Price Jackson of the Department of Labor and Industry, to-day declared that more workers wero injured In Pennsylvania indus tries during January and February of this year than the total number of soldiers of both armies wounded in the battle of Gettysburg. Reports receiv ed by the Bureau of Statistics and In formation indicating 37,940 workers In jured during the first two months of this year. Including 351 fatalities. lie asserted that reports of Injuries to workers are dally Increasing in num bers and aggregated approximately 1,000 a day during the latter part of February. For the first two months of the year a general average of 759 employes were injured on every working day and seven workers killed. There were 24,- 475 reports of injuries and 222 fatal ities received at the bureau during Feb ruary, and 13,465 injuries and 129 fa- talitles during January. Commissioner •lackson contends that these accidents, if continued, will result in the wound ing of 300,000 workers In Pennsyl vania's industrial army in 1916. Accidents \ot% Reported The new Workmen's Compensation Act has been, in a large measure, re sponsible for the reporting of all acci dents to the l.abor Department, but even with the tremendous number of reports now being received the com missioner declared to-day that there is evidence in the department that all ac cidents are not reported. He ex plains that a number of agreements for Workmen's Compensation payments have come to the Compensation Bureau, although no reports of the accidents had previously been filed. In discussing the tremendous toll of life and health by industrial acci dents, Commissioner Jackson to-day said: "Employers and employes are awak ening to their responsibilities as a re sult of the great numbers of accident reports that are now being receieved. "During the entire year of 1915 the records of tills department show only 61.540 a reports of injuries to workers, including 1204 fatalities. The first two months of this year lias resulted In re ports of more than half that number of injuries and more than one-fourth the number of fatalities. "If 300,000 workers are injured in Pennsylvania* during this year it will mean that approximately one "of every five persons, employed in this State, will be victims of accidents, assuming that 1,500,000 is Pennsylvania's work ing population. "That army of injured workers in Pennsylvania alone would be three times the size of the standing army or the entire United States and would : compare in number with men wounded in the battles of the European conflict. "The 300,000 persons injured during WHAT THE SHOPS?® ARE SHOWING #™?!/ A reputation once made is as hard to lose as it is hard to acquire, and (lie Walk Over Boot Shop, 226 Market street, has acquired a reputation for the smartest style and the newest de signs in footwear—a reputation inval uable indeed and much to be desired— but often it leads to the mistaken im pression that this tip-to-date shop caters exclusively to youth and fashion, while on the contrary they carry a wonderful line of sensible and prac tical footwear, designed especially for comfort and durability. Their Solace model in dull black kid. with medium heel, is not only built on an exceed ingly comfortable last, but is especially designed with the upper part of the shoe cut wide to give plenty of room for stout ankles. It is beautifully fin ished and look-? very well on the foot. The price is just $4.00.

It is specially priced at $2.25.

A Clever Combination An Innovation in the way of a stove is the Penn Cabinet Range offered by the Hirnes Hardware Store, 10 North Market Square. This range Is one of the newest models offered by the Mount Penn Stove Works and has many advantages. It may bo had com bined with a gas stove, making it pos sible to cook with either gas or coal, as desired.

The range is particularly well designed and constructed with all the care and quality typical of the Penn products.
