SATURDAY EVENING,
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, thus
expresses himself on the subject of
the preservation of life and limb
through the knowledge of first-aid
methods. Mulligan has charge of the
first-aid work of the Bethlehem
corporation, with its annual competi
| tions between teams of the various
plants. He seems to think that the
i public (schools are not fulfilling their
I obligation to the public in the way
I of teaching pupils habits of carefui
j ness. He says:
I "Does not the public school 3ys
! tern have any obligation In the mat-
I ter of accident prevention through
education? Anything educationally
worth while to the general populace
iis within the province of public
j school work. Carelessness Is the
j crime of the century, and its eradi
! cation through 'preventative edu-
I cation is a serious problem of the
' hour. The public schol system has
i its responsibility in this vital mat
! ter of conserving human life and
limb as the natural educational
medium, but its responsibility hi
accident prevention (toes even furth
er than that.
"Education is training for life
work through knowledge and disci
pline. Discipline is mainly a matter
of training in good habit formation—■
all of which should be safe habit 3.
The school system has very largely
fulfilled its mission if it sends forth
boys and girls who are accurate,
attentive, careful, thoughtful, trained
to observe, plan, check up and prove
their findings. All this as opposed
to hahits of carelessness, negligence,
misjudgment. distration, carelessness
and the 'don't care' spirit."
Industry Rcs|K>nsible
"I have in mind two eighteen-year
old high school graduates killed In
industdy. One killed on his second
workday, the other in his third week
on the job. Both were killed through
hazards indirectly connected with
their work and after disregarding
verbal instructions and written warn
ing signs bearing on these particular
hazards. Both boys had spent
twelve years in preparation for Ihoir
life work. What part of this time
was devoted to safe habit formation?
Why should we train for life with
out having in view life preservation?
"Should industry feel itself respon
sible for the training of all its men
in safety, and if that were possible,
what degree of success can we ex
pect in accident prevention through
teaching and preaching safety to the
adult mind? Would we be striking
at the root of the evil? Can you
teach an old dog new tricks? Can
you train a careless man to be al
ways careful? Can you give hint
caution and forethough after habits
of negligence, carelessness and inat
tentiveness have formed ' through
years of count'ess repetition?
The first-aid course in the Bethle
hem Steel plant covers a period of
five months, two hours per week
on company time, of which one hour
is spent with the regular instructo
and one hour per week in rehearsal
under the supervision of a commit
teeman who has previously taken
the course. At the completion of
the course, the graduation exercises
are held in the form of the annual
first-aid meet. This meet will be
held this year at Steelton, on the
twenty-seventh."
Forced Restraint of
Railroad Strike Is
Urged by Clark
Washington, Sept. 2 7. Railroad
strike restraint by law and compul
sory arbitration and adjustment of
wage and other disputes were ad
vocated by Intrastate Commerce
Commissioner Clark before the
House Intrastate and Foreign Com
merce Committee, which is consid
ering railroad legislation.
He submitted a plan of a Federal
tribunal, consisting of three mem
bers to be appointed by the Presi
dent and confirmed by the Senate,
before which should be brought all
matters of dispute between the rail
road operators and the employes
upon which an agreement could not
be reached for adjudication, and the
action of this tribunal should be
iinal and binding on all parties.
The membership of the tribunal
shall consist of one representative
of the employes, selected by the
President from a list of six recom
mended by the employes; one repre
senting the railroads, selected from
six proposed by the railroad mana
gers, and one front the Interstate
Commerce Commission, similarly
selected from six to be nominated.
"The public must be protected
against strikes on the railroads,
closing the arteries of transporta
tion and causing untold loss and
distress," said Clark. "The people
will pay, rates for the service nec
essary to permit the payment of
just and fair wages. Men do not
strike to quit work. They strike to
better their condition. A just set
tlement of all disputes should be
possible."

Some Full Trains Are Aban
doned; Passengers Guard
Baggage
London. Sept. 27. Dispatches I
from the provinces arriving in Lon- |
don since midnight indicate that the j
call for the railway strike has heen I
generally responded to, although in j
some centers with reluctance.
The Manchester railwaymen, as an j
instance, are said to be strongly op- |
posed to the movement, while a mu- |
jority of the men at Crewe, the great '
railway junction southeast of Liver
pool, also are reported to be averse
to striking.
On the other hand it is reported
that in many of the big centers,
such as Birmingham, Derby, York
and Portsmouth, the men quit at
midnight.
The platforms at several pro
vincial stations were thronged at
midnight with intended passengers
who had the . rospfect of spending
the night there guarding their bag
gage.
It is reported that some full trains
were abandoned. The engineers
were willing to continue with their
trains, but the withdrawal of the
signalmen prevented them. A ma
jority of the engineers and firemen
belong to a separate union which
up to the present has not struck,
though it is expected to join the
movement.
In South Wales, which is a net
work of railroads among the coal
fields, the men are said to have
struck in a body, including the en
gineers.
May Not Haul Coal
The Government announces that
in order to assure food supplies
during the strike it may be neces
sary entirely to suspend the trans
portation of coal.
"I do not think there is a shadow
of a doubt that the miners and the
transport workers will join the
strike," said J. H. Thomas, general
secretary of the National Union of
Railwaymen, in an interview with
the Daily Mail.

| father, Salvatore Patti, a Sicilian.
I was a good tenor singer. My mother,
a Roman, became a famous artist as
Signora Barlli —the name of her first
husband
Dwindling finances sent the Patti
family to New York, when Adelina,
whose birth name was Adela Juana
Maria Patti, was a baby. When she
was 7 years old, her parents sudden
ly became destitute.
"In the emergency," the singer
j said, "my mother considered that I
| bad extraordinary vocal talent,' and
i hit upon the idea of bringing me
out in concert. And so 1 sang and
soon won bread for the family."
The child made her debut at Trip
let- Hall, in New York, singing arias
from the "Barber," in 1850. She was
the juvenile prodigy of the day, and
nearly ruined her voice by overwork.
She appeared again at the age of 13.
After a tour through the West Indes,
she withdrew to prepare for a great
er career.
Appears at 10
At the age of 16 she appeared in
the Academy of Music, New York,
! it, her first opera role, "Lucia di Lam
j mermoor." Her wonderfudl soprano
toused the audience to the wildest
I enthusiasm, and her . fame swept the
' country._ At this time she was earn
! ing sloo* a week.
j She repeated her conquest as Amina
■ in "La Sonnambula," in Covent Gar
-1 den, London, in 1861. Her salary had
! increased to $750 a month.
It was the beginning of a daz
i zling conquest of all Europe. Royal
j ty entertained her and courted her
! favors. The populace besieged her
hotels and theaters. Men In all sta-
I tions of life wooed her, but she
! brushed them aside with a laugh
and thrill. She finally ' capitulated
I at the age of 25 to Henri, Marquis de
Caux, equerry to Napoleon 111. They
separated after a years, Mme.
Patti finally securing a divorce in
1885 to marry Signor Ernesto Nico
lini, an Italian tenor singer.
Estate of Sit.tMMMMm
Mme. Patti held the record as a
box office star 'n operatic circles.
When she appeared at a matinee con
cert in Mechanic's Hall In Boston, in
1888, she faced an audience which
had paid $18,900 to hear her. During
a single tour through South America
she received in salary and bonuses
more than $300,000. It has been esti
mated that she earned more than $5,-
060,000 during her singing career.
She made her final professional ap
pearance at the age of 65 in London.
Her last days were passed in Wales
at her beautiful castle "Craig-y-Nos,"
with her third husband. Baron of
Cederstrom, whom she married in
1899, a year after the death of Nico
linl.
Mme. Patti is reputed to have left
an estate valued at more than $3,-
000,000.
She was the first operatic singer in
the world to be made a Chevalier of
the Legion of Honor. She was deco

DUTCH CHEESE
Belgian Prelate Tells How He
Distributed famous
Document
Philadelphia, Sept. 27. At the
Metropolitan Operahouse meeting last
night Cardinal Mercier, after express
ing his gratitude for America's help in
the war, related many incidents in his
life during the great struggle. One of
these was the methods he employed In
circulating his famous pastoral letter
of Christmas, 1914, in which he defied
Germany and bade his people be of good
heart and fight on toward ultimate vic
tory. The most successful method, he
said, was through the medium of Dutch
cheese.
"The Belgians like Dutch cheese,"
said the Cardinal. "There is frequent
commerce between Holland and Belgium
in cheese, and I had a friend on the
frontier who was making cheese. 1
asked him whether he would not use ,
my pastoral to wrap his cheese in. He
did, and while the Belgians ate the
cheese the Dutch had to digest my pas
toral."
Many Attend Luncheon
More 5OO persons, including
churchmen of all creeds, city and state
officials and prominent businessmen
were seated at the luncheon, which was
given by the city. >' a brief address
Cardinal Mercier thanked the people of !
Philadelphia and of America for the
assistance given his country. "I feel,"
he said, 'that American sympathizes
with Belgium not because Mercier is
here, not because King Albert is com
ing, but because you feel that Belgium
is sincere in its love and defense of
liberty."
