Show Thoughtlessness and Accidents. "The vast majority of personal In-Jury In-Jury accidents are not due to mechanical mechani-cal defects," writes H. L. Gannett inspector in-spector of safety and fire prevention of tho Commonwealth Edison company com-pany at Chicago, "but are plainly due to some thoughtless act on the part of the Injured or his fellow man. "An arm or log off can never be replaced re-placed an eye lost cannot be rut back, and a life once surrendered can never be recalled. "Life Is sweet A home with a crippled crip-pled father Is not filled with the happiness happi-ness that It Is entitled to enjoy; and a home from which the father has been called to that land from whence no traveler returns is truly In distress, and has an added sadness when it is known that an avoidable accident caused by tho thoughtless act had caused the untimely call of the grlra reaper." |
