Freak Accidents Reported k '59 By Safety Council So you think flying saucers are fantastic? Then just take a look at what the National Safety Council Coun-cil has dug- up this year in its annual search for odd accidents! You may have suspected that some accidents are caused by monkey business, but it remained for Alice, a trained chimpanzee, to clinch it. Riding her motor scooter before an enthusiastic crowd at the St. Louis zoo, Alice zipped of the stage in a showy exit, ran down Trainer William Rogers and banged him up, but good.

In Glendale, Calif., ex-city manager man-ager Charles C. McCall has applied for state compensation with the claim that he swiveled so vigorously vigor-ously in his swivel chair that he hurt his back. Find Seat of Trouble Phillip Burrows, age 2, who lives in Hollywood, Calif., where they do things more spectacularly got his head stuck in, of all things, a toilet seat. Even the firemen, accustomed to this type of crisis, were impressed as they went to ;,work with a saw to dethrone him. Embarrassing describes the experience ex-perience of policemen Donald Otto of Detroit. As the young patrolman was strolling with his girl friend on his night off, his service pistol let go and shot off the seat of his pants. The last thing in the world nine-year-old Theron Longley of Bow, N. H., expected as he wound up for a hot cadenza on his trumpet trum-pet was that he would blow out four teeth, but that is what he did! Inhaling prodigiously for a final triumphant blast to a stirring stir-ring march, trumpeter Theron swallowed a denture he had been wearing since an automobile accident ac-cident tow years before.
