TWO ESCAPE FROM DEVIL'S ISLAND
Port of Spain (Trinidad), Aug. 15.
After a 700-mile voyage in a frall Indian dug-out canoe two escaped convicts from Devil's Island, the dreaded French penul settlement, are leaving here to-day on another stage of their flight to freedom.
The two men, who gave their names as Henri Devergeil and Emile Craspaud, arrived at the dead of night last Wednesday. Those who saw their canoe merveiled they had got so far.
But, despite many attractions, the exhibition threatened come a colossal flop.
Sensational
At first sight there seems to be no reason for these
to be anomalies, but they are explained quite sensibly in a little book just issued by the Industrial Health Research Board

It contains the results of an investigation into the causes of sickness absence in two large groups of workers, by May Smith and Margaret Leiper.
Their chief conclusion is that sickness is much more prevalent among women workers than among men.:
Factory workers tend to have a lower sickness rate than shop assistants or clerical workers.. This is partly due to the fact that many factory workers are on a piece-rate basis and are therefore more likely to stay at work when a clerk or a shopgirl would take a day or two off.
The common cold and influenza account for nearly 40 per cent, of the absences.
An interesting paychological phenomenon is that workers who deal with people are more prone to illness than those who deal with symbols or things.

For example, the average number of days lost by workers' con- cerned with peoplo-waitresses, salesmen, ele.-Was 3.1 for men and 6.6 for wonten. The number of days lost by clerks and writers was wants 'radlam 127 for men and 3.5 for women,
When you come to workers concerned with workers the figures fali to 2.1 for men and 3.0, for women.
The investigators make the following comment on these figures: "The salesman whese goods are in daily requirement and relatively standardised has an easier time than the salesman who not only has to supply the goods but to suggest, if not create, the want. To sell fashion goods may demand different qualities from those required to sell bread, aspirin or matches."
Preacher the Germans
Wanted to Hang
The Rev. D. M. Macfadyen, of Letchworth, Herts, famed Non-conformist, politician and ecclesiastical law authority, died recently. He was 68.
Mr. Macfadyen was chairman of the London Congregational Union in 1912. He was formerly director of the London Mis- sionary Society and secretary of the British and American Inter- change Council in 1912.
His striking resemblance to M. Briand, the French Foreign Minister and ex-Premier, once nearly cost him his life.
He was at Nuromburg and was sitting in a beer garden with English friends when he noticed the people around his party eyeing him with disfavour.
Interviewed afterwards, Mr.. Mac-|
said: "The keeper of the fadyen beer, garden, pointing to me, asked one of my friends: 'Is that M. Brland?'
"My friend
was able to reassure
im, and the Innkeeper replied: "It' is just as well. Everyone here thought he was M. Briand and want- ed to hang him,' ".
Mr. Macfadyen was born in Man- chester, the son of Dr. John Allison Macfadyen, of Charlton. Rond Con- gregational Church.
In the Liberal cause he fought four Parliamentary elections as the party's candidate, the last time being al Cambridge in February, 19034, when he was 08. In that by-election he forfeited his deposit. His previous fights were at Ilitchin (twice), and. Reading.

The accident rate for men is higher, but women have more operations. London had the highest accident rate, 17, for men against 6.1 in Outer London.
The effects of bad management and bullying overseers on the health of the workers was very marked some workshops.
In one firm, during an influenza epidemic, nearly all the girls in one room were absent, while few girls stayed away in the next room.
The reason for this was that the head of the first room was a petty nagger, while the overseer of the other room was a kind, jolly soul bubbling over with the joy of life. The girls loved her, but hated the termagent next This valuable book also contains a report on Labour Wastage by Major Greenwood and May Smith, which I shall deal with in a future article.
