Alter an analysis of 4,600 home
accidents, the National Safety
Council reports that fewer fatal and
noh-fatal accidents occur in the
bathroom than any other room in

In the 1946 edition of “Accident
Facts,” a statistical yearbook, the:
Council found that only the hall and
the garage, each totaling two per
ceht, were lower in accident rate
than the bathroom.
The survey disclosed the follow-
ling percentages of accidents in the

popularly as a “miracle drug.” The
observation of the ability of bacteria
to develop resistance to the drug aft-

importance at this time. The same

f England’s "white cliffs of Dover”
i—from whose sheer walls about a
quarter of a million tons of chalk
surface crumbled into the sea—are
familiar to many Americans
through English history, a wartime
verse novel, a popular song, and a
movie. Only 20 miles from the
French coast, the Dover cliffs look
across the English channel at the
narrowest point between the British
Isles and the European continent,
hbtfes the National Geographic
society.

heights of Dover have been a toemt
arable landmark to countless thou-
sands making the short channel
crossing.
During World War II, this stretch
of English shore was known as
“hellllre comer.” As German shells
jand bombs rained on the old Dover
|port, nestled at the foot of a hreak
!ta the cliffs, the remaining inhabi-
tants of the once active shipping
center found shelter in the old-new
leaves and tunnels in the massive
■sides of their chalk hills. For 2,000 ,
lyears the Dover coast has been a
’springboard as well as a target for
’attack, often at the same time.

medical corps placed skin infections
high on its list of disabling diseases.
During the year 1944, the number of
hospital admissions because of dis-
eases of the skin varied between

Gather Eggs Regularly
Both fertile and infertile eggs will
lose quality unless gathered regu-
larly. If eggs are left in the nest,
the germ spot in a fertile egg will
continue to grow just as long as
Jhe temperature is right. The germ
growth ceases when the egg is taken
from the nest and cooked. If eggs
are left in the nest too long, they
cannot be cooled without killing the
germ. Infertile eggs, while unaffect-
ed from the hatching standpoint, are

At least 90 North American ani-

life service. Already, he points out,
some notable species, have van-

northeastern United States was fhst

Maine giant mink, nearly twice thi
Blze of an ordinary mink, disap-
peared in 1860. About six races of
grizzly bears have perished. The
Merriam elk of Arizona, largest of
all elk, was exterminated by 1900.
The last big Plains wolf, long a
nuisance to stockmen, ceased to
exist about 1930.

A continuous rural expansion program is being carried out in North, East and
Central Texas by Texas Power & Light Company, and 1947 plans call for the con-

Human Eyes Withstand
Years of Neglect, Abuse
, Human eyes are able to take
years of abuse and neglect without
going blind,' according" to the Better
Vision Institute, Out of a population
of nearly 140,000,000 men, women
-’"'ldren to the United States,
egtmiaifig pia4e the number,
i pQfsOns at less than 200,000
persons. Of these more tnan haU
are OVer 65 years of age, whose
lack of vision may be traced largely
to general ills of the body.
There are millions of persons who
neglect their vision by failing to
obtain necessary professional oph-
thalmic advice and service, the in-
stitute said. Through such neglect
they impose upon themselves low
standards of seeing which probably
lead to many accidents on the high-
ways, to the factory and to the
home.
Following the adoption of the
National Social Security Act, which
provides assistance to blind per-
sons, considerable attention has
been given to the problem of blind-
ness. Administrators of the federal
law classify as blind all persons
with visual acuity of less than
20/200 to the better eye with correct-
ing lenses, or persons with a flold
of vision of less than 20 degrer
