BIG REDUCTION
IN ACCIDENTS
Chief Roderick Calls Attention
to the Improvement in
Mining Results
cline in fatal ac-
SvvW cidents in the coal
■SN\\\ j>/ mines of the State
during . the tirst
three months of
I year as compared
I with the fatalities
I °' tlie ,Irst ( i uar *
gjlpp® shown by a report
James E. Roderick to Governor
Brumbaugh. The chief says that in
the first three months there were
255 fatal accidents as compared with
334 in the same period last year.
This, he states, is a reduction of 24
per cent, for all mining and in the
anthracite region the reduction was
about 28 per cent, and in the bitu
minous region about 18 per cent.
"When it is taken into considera
tion that mining operations have
been extremely active, creating con
ditions that arc not conducive to
the safety of the employes, the rec
ord thus far for the year is excep
tionally good artd indicates that the
mines are having careful supervision
by the inspectors," says the report of
the chief. "The number of fatalities
is not excessive for the great army
of mine workers who at the present
time number 334,987."
To Buy War Bonds. No further
investments will be made by State
Boards in charge of finances in bonds
until the United States government
issues its war bonds. The State was
a heavy investor in local bonds dur
ing the winter and funds will now be
allowed to accumulate so that the
Commonwealth can do its part to
ward financing the national govern
ment. The State Workmen's Insur
ance, State Fire Insurance and State
School Funds will be among those
which will have funds to buy gov
ernment bonds and the former has
already announced its intention.
Mothers' Pensions. A report is
sued by Miss Helen Glenn, State su
pervisor of mothers' pensions, states
that "there are pending now more
than 0,000 eligible applicants who
are not receiving assistance." She
urges an increase in the appropri
ation for investigation of cases.
Certificates Issued. Certificates
of notification have been issued by
the Public Service Commission at
testing to millions of dollars' worth
of stocks and bonds in the last few
weeks. Among the certificates an
nounced were Western Maryland

Chalmers Sensational Run
Sets New Motor Car Standard
A Chalmers on March 26-27 set a new high rtiark in motor car history. On
that date was established a standard in city traffic performance that promises
to endure. To cover 585.8 miles through dense Chicago traffic in 24 hours is
no mean feat. To do it with a stock 7-passenger touring car, carrying 4 pas
sengers, on high gear only, without motor stop, and making 14 miles to th
gallon of fuel is a superlative performance.
Chalmers accomplished the feat peals in this day of high cost of
with ease. It did it because of the gasoline. Thus is demonstrated
quality of its motor, the excellence the ability of a builder like Chal
of its design, the thoroughness mers to produce a car of surper
with which it is built. Thus is lative merit at a price far below
proven the flexibility that a motor what is necessarily asked by
car owner of today demands. Thus manufacturers of a limited out
is insured that economy that ap- put.
