CARELESSNESS
By C. H. 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

the awful disaster this bit of care

NEWS OF STEELTON
KING WISHED TO
REMAIN LONGER
Expressed Regret That His
Stay in Steelton Was
So Short
Many persons of note have visited
! the local steel plant, but never be
fore to-day has the plant been visit
ed by a reigning king. 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."

whether he did not long for home?
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. The matter was
reported to Red Cross headquarters, !

sought. Red Cross officers were j
emphatic this morning in saying: |
"Please publish that no people are i
supposed to collect funds for any j
Red Cross work at this time. In a |
