int SRI 0 KINDNESS TO ANIMALS. The law requires that kindness to! animals be taught to pupils in the: #chools. This is a wise provision of | the law, not only for the sake of the proper development of the boys and girls themselves but also for the sake of the animals. Some persons have been known to dispute whether ani- mals can feel, or are really injured by &ruel treatment, and others treat their @nimals in such a manner that it . would appear as though they really be- tieved that such creatures were devoid of feeling. Zoologist H. A. Surface of the De- partment of Agriculture is responsi- ble for saying all animals have nerves and consequently are so organized as to be capable of feeling or sensa- tion, and that they can be abused in such a way as to cause the most in- ¢ense pain and suffering. ‘While they do not have the possibility of modifi- ed facial expression nor of words to express their feelings yet there can be no doubt of the fact that they, suf- fer from internal as well as from ex- ternal afflictions. Animals are subject to pain from hunger, thirst, cold, overheating, in- ternal diseases of many kinds such as indigestion, fever, toothache, earache headache and other pains that cause mankind to hasten tc experts for re- lief. The most of these are natural ills, and this alone should be enough £0 justify our treating them with kind ¢bnsideration and not adding to their woes. The pesron who beats his horse or kicks his dog is not only thought- lessly cruel and destroys the finer g&nsibility of his own nature but is in many cases inflicting pain or suffer- ng so severe that were the same ad- ministered to the person responsible for the blow, he would howl with rage and no doubt attempt to relieve nis feelings by a counter attack. It should be remembered that there are many forms of cruelty besides di rectly beating the dumb animals with which mankind comes in contact. They may be underfed, when the pangs of hunger or of partial starva- tion become very severe; they may be watered with ice water that chills the system and checks digestion. quickly introducing a frosty bit into REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Jacob M.

EMPLOYMENT CERTIFICATES FOR MINORS According to a decision of the At :tpgney General it will be necessary .f6F+ children between the ages of fourteen and sixteen who attend stthool but work evenings, mornings and Saturdays, to secure a Vacation Employment Certificate.

Appli- cations for Employment Certificates must be made in person by the par- ert, or guardian of the minor to school principals, who are empowered to is- sué these certificates. —————————————— A THOUSAND INJURED EACH DAY Reports of 1,190 injured were re- ceived at the state department of la- r apd industry in Harrisburg in one day last week. Of this number, seven died. Commissioner John Price Jack- son. announced that every day this yaar an average of 1,000 injuries has peen reported at the department. on “Timely Hints to Safeguard Ma- chinists from Injury.” | “Keep all safeguards on gears, belts 'and other moving parts of machinery” | warns the commissioner. “See that i others do the sam. You may in this | way prevent an accident to yourself or your fellow employe. “Cleaning, oiling, repairing and ad- justing of machinery should not be done while machinery is in motion. Do not allow projecting set screws, keys, bolts or other projecting parts lon moving machinery. The use of de- fective hoisting apparatus endangers | your safety. Hoisted loads should be | securely blocked before work on them is started. “Loose clothing has very frequently ‘peen the cause of many employes getting caught in moving machinery. Keep, jackets, sleeves, etc. buttoned or properly fastened. Torn or ragged clothing is a menace to your safety. “Tools or materials should not be allowed on the floor or passageways. Tripping over such objects, especial- ly when the hands are full, has re- sulted in. many accidents, some of a very serious nature. ‘Compressed air apparatus is use- ful but dangerous. Never point it to- wards or touch a fellow employe with it. Three deaths resulted last year in the state from ‘fooling’ with air hose. «Defective wrenches are a constant source of danger and have caused se- rious injury to many machinists.

The mine has been drained by putting jn a new entry 1,100 feet deep. Strains of “Arkansaw Traveler,” “Devil's Dream,” and the like now float on the atmosphere of the Fay- ette county jail. Charlie McBride took his trusty violin with him to en- tertain fellow prisoners and while away the hours during the ten-day so- journ in the county bastile. To prevent explosions from lamps, the Merchants’ Coal company has equipped its 400 miners at Boswell, Somerset county, with storage battery electric lights, doing away with the safety lamps. Nineteen men died as a result of an explosion in this mine about a year ago. Three men were arrested on charges of passing bogus money on com- plaints of merchants in Pittsburgh. It is alleged that a score of merchants have been victimized. Mike Ftazski, Paul Yurewez and Andrew Smith were the men taken into custody.
