Black Assistant Foreman Boilersliop, Har risburg. ' "How often might accidents to ourselves and fellow workers be pre vented by exercising a little precau tion-—a little conimonsense. "Did you eve- ftap to coivn'ei inat in the boilershop alone there are six unfortunates minus the sight of an eye. Think of what a similar loss would mean to you! Obscure the sight of one of your eyes and move about and ascertain how very in convenient it would be to be com pelled to spend the remainder of your earhtly existence in semi vision. "The other day a boilermaker was chipping a groove in a steam cylin der when a chip flew off with suffi cient force to shatter one of the lenses in the goggles he wore, which probably prevented the loss of sight of one eye. Think of the conse quence ha,d he failed to take the pre caution to provide himself.with the goggle protection. "A defective rivet in the joint of a firebox was removed and replaced with a patch-bolt. The hole was improperly tapped; the workmen probably thought that a good, stout rivet on side of the patch-bolt would be sufficient and depended on the caulking of the patch-bolt to prevent it from leaking, and in that way cover up a job carelessly done. "A broken stay-bolt was removed and replaced with what should have been a dependable one; the holes in the shoot were poorly tapped in stead of having a good, sharp thread, and the job when finished was as defective as the broken bolt just removed. "The operating rigging of an ash pan was so carelessly repaired that Accidents This Year I On the Eastern lines, Pennsyl vania Railroad, for the first eight | months of 1919, there were 699 j accidents—caused by negligence of employes. They cost the j Pennsylvania Railroad $Bl,- i 356.66. During the same time there were 554 accidents caused by defective equipment and de fective roadway, which cost ; $101,207, so you see our negli gence costs nearly us much as j all other causes combined. Let us be careful.—Safety News Ex- I tra. j when a high rate of speed was at , tained by the engine the rigging be- I came disconnected and was distri buted in all directions. Think of the awful disaster this bit of care lessness might have caused, probably a score of lives lost jue to the (criminal) carelessness of one man. "Workmen who are careless in lit tle things will also be careless in larger ones. Therefore, let us school ourselves to exercise care in all the work we perform. Let us take pride in the work we do; always endeavor to excel, and feel that a piece of work carefully done is a job well done. "One of the requisites of 'Safety First' is carefulness. We should, therefore, have carefulness imprint ed indelibly in our mind so that we may be careful! Careful! Careftfl!

The streets of the borough were but sparsely decorated, due to the fact that news of his visiting Steelton came at so late an hour. News of his coming was made public last evening. Scout masters immediately set to work, and by 9.30 this morning the four troops of Boy Scouts were lined up in Front street at Swatara forming a guard of honor. At exactly 10 o'clock the whistles of the plant gave notice of the royal party leaving Harrisburg. Ten min utes later the party came into sight. Plant officials had arranged that the party was to enter the plant yards in automobiles by the Swatara street i entrance. This was to save the party a walk of a hundred feet over dirty ground. The officers in charge of the party, however, did not see fit to follow the plan, and the automo biles were stopped in Front street, necessitating the party to walk to the observation-car which had been prepared at the plant for the King and his pnrty in their trip through the plant. The King was met by Assistant General Manager E. F. Entwisle, while H. B. Bent escorted the Prince. The reception committee included Walter Guyer, T. T. McEntee, C. P. Turner, E. P. Howell, J. C. Craig and J. H. Mac Donald. Fully two thousand employes of the plant were gathered near the car as the party boarded the train. They broke out in long and loud cheers. When they had died down, someone shouted: "Three cheers for his boy." The cheers were given willingly, while the "King's boy" grinned broadly. The party were taken through the entire length of the plant, stopping occasionally to give them a better view of some department or to ans wer the questions asked by the King in reference to the processes. The Prince expressed surprise at the short lengths of rails. When told that they were not considered short here, he. remarked that in his country longer lengths were com monly used. He also seemed sur prised at guard rails, which he said he never saw in his country. He was anxious to know "just how many guns did you make in this plant dur ing the war?" Someone asked him Practice of Safety First By A. I>. Shoemaker Boilermaker, Enola. "One cannot give too much thought to the practice of Safety First, either for himself or his fel lowmen. Make yourself responsible for his safety and "by so doing you will also benefit by it. When you see a fellow employe working with out goggles on work they should be used, call his attention to the im portance of their use and to the possibility of passing the remainder of his days in sightressness. If he won't thank you for the warning, his family may, and you have discharged a moral duty. "The Pennsylvania Railroad ap propriates large sums of money an nually for the advancement of Safety First with the result that fewer avoidable accidents happen than in the past when less atten tion was given thi§ subject. It is incumbent upon every employe to safeguard the welfare of his fellow workman, his family and himself. "Consider wourself a 'committee of one' and report through the proper channels any unsafe prac tices or conditions that may come to your notice. The company for whom you are working does not de sire you to take chances nor incur risks; your services are considered too essential to have you occupying space in a hospital. So use the goggles when required; they are in the tool room. Ask your foreman for a pair, he has plenty of them, and always be fair to yourself and to your employer—take no chances and incur 110 unnecessary risks."

He replied: "O yes, but I am not yet tired of traveling." The party returned to the Swatara street gate at 10.40 and the King was then shown through the emer gency hospital. Just as the King was leaving the hospital, an officer shouted: "Make room, please: clear a space, please." A girl had fainted in the great crowd in Front street. Before stepping into his machine the King decorated Mayor Keister and Vance McCormick. He was most profuse with his thanks to the offi cials of the plant. A slight wave of the hand and the King of the Bel gians was on his way. Fear Imposters Are at Work in Borough Yesterday two young men were soliciting funds for "Red Cross work among the orphans," and are said to have obtained a neat sum from the houses visited.
