the activities at the ninth annual interesting, the National Safety Council, held here today was the serichaf addresses in the chemical section. questiors were discussed by a number of important specialists. A paper en the treatment of acid and alkali burrs was read by Dr. K. Smith, manager ef the medical section du Pont de Nemours of Wilmington, Delaware.
Dr. Smith has had wide experience in the subject and his paper aroused much interest. Another interesting session was held yesterday afternoon by the engineering secticn, of which L. A. DeBlois is vice-chairman.
Mr. DeBlois is president of the Delaware Safety Council and manager of the safety section of the Co. Early this afternoon' S. H. Kershaw of the Hercules Powder Company, and vicepresident of the Delaware Safety Council, an address on the part of the safety engineer in checking plans and specifications for new buildings and equipment.
He outlined the many sidedness of the safety engineer's profession, and the vast amount of knoweldge and experience which it is necessary for him to possess. The safety engineer works hand in hand with every branch of construction operation from the initial plans up to the completed and functioning whole. Mr. Kershaw pointed out that "one would be unwise if he failed to recognize the fact that a safety inspection may produce 8 very desirable educational influence among the plant men, or it may cause them to become momentarily antagonistic to all safety work according to the manner in which the inspector does his work." A most interesting summary of the things against which safety expert has to guard was submitted by Mr. Kershaw and although not intended for laymen it was of very great interest as it established the dependence of so much of our every-day life on the safety engineer's vigilance.
As a result of the congress session in Milwaukee, the safety movement throughout the entire country will undoubtedly receive 3 new and vigorous impetus to carry through to the conclusion of another successful year.

FRELINGHUYSEN ATTACKS WILSON New Jersey Senator Addressed Republican Meeting at Queen Theatre, Last Night. Defending the irreconcilable attitude of the Senate toward the peace treaty and remarking on the President's physical incapaciation, Senator Joseph 8. Frelinghuysen, Republican, of New Jersey, assumed the role of spell binder at a rally of Republicans in the Queen Theatre last night.
The meeting was under the auspices of the HardinesS Club. Former Governor R. Miller introduced the senator from New Jersey. Several of the Republican nominees for State offices were seated on the stage, ineluding. for William governor; D.
Denney, of Danforth Dover, Bush, for lieutenant-governor; Sylvester D. Townsend, for attorney-general. There were also present Senator Ball, Robert H. Richards, State Chairman Charles Warner, Col. George W.
Sparks, General James H. Wilson and Charles A. Patterson. The senator made a bid for the support of the women's vote, but did not lay claim to the fact that his party had done more to have the Susan B. Anthony amendment passed than the Democrats had.
But the Republican party, he said, was the one which would co-operate with the women to secure cleaner government and pass measures the for sanitation, which hygiene the and non-partisan morality women's organizations are working. Making no mention of the Senate's refusal to act on the President's suggestion to reduce the high cost of foodstuffs and clothing, the senator picked out the sugar Aituntion and blamed the scarcity and high cost of that product on the President for failing to buy the Cuban sugar crop. The senator expressed regret that the Republican party's campaign fund WAL9 not $30.000,000 and attacked Govenor Cox for his charges that the Republicans were trying to buy the Presidency. Preceding the meeting the First Voter's Chub paraded to the theatre. The parade formed in front of the Young Men's Republican Club and marched past the Municipal Building, up Tenth and down Market to the Queen.

Every Evening congratulates former Governor Miller on his birthday anniver- PRESIDENT NOT TO SPEAK IN CAMPAIGN Plans of Party Managers Are Ve toed on Account of Condition of His Health. Washington. Sept. 30. -The hopes of managers of the Democratic national campaign that President Wilson would make some speeches in behalf of Cox and Roosevelt have disappeared.
A veto on the proposal has been given by those close to the president. In this connection it became known yesterday that the President's physical condition was not as satisfactory as it had been recently, when his improvement became so pronounced that his associates and friends felt justified in letting the country know that the danger point in his long illness had virtually been passed. The President, however, has not suffered any serious setback. He is able, preside at Cabinet meetings to take motor rides frequently. He has seen visitors lately and nothing is known to indicate that he will abandon the official activity which he resumed when his condition appeared to justify it.
At the same time, it is gathered, the President's gradual improvement has been somewhat retarded, and any undue excitement, such as his appearance on the stump, might and probably would have serious results. As far as could be ascertained yesterday the question of his active participation in the Democratic speech-making campaign has not been laid before the President personally. It was said that he knew nothing of the plans of those who were anxious to have him go before the people again as an advocate of the League cf Nations and the policies of his administration. That the President would be willing to take any chances if he could be persunded that his personal appearance in the campaign would mean victory for the League principle is generally understood by those asquainted with his attitude. Some of those close to the President have said that even if he knew that a round of speech-making would mean the fice of his life, he would be willing to make the sacrifice for the sake of saving the League.
