V. sets for the $ Lydia Cotton Mills is to Strictly For Wonder why it is that practically every mill has a "practical" joker in its midst and unfortunately this creature sometimes is found in every department? We also wonder who in the world ever named this character a "practical" joker when there is certainly nothing practical about his operations. Horseplay in our mills has been largely eliminated, mostly because these "practical jokers" have found that no one else enjoys or appreciates their antics. Nevertheless, there still are a few and as long as there is one loose on the mill premises, there is a big gamble that someone is going to get hurt or even killed. In fact, his little joke may even backfire and the practical joker may turn out to be the victim. If this could he the case all the time, it would be fine because soon we would eliminate all of them. But. too often, it is the innocent person who falls prey to his work. Here are a few "big laffs" caused bv horseplay recently in textile mills . . . they could happen here unless horseplay is eliminated. The nrnrtie:i1 inkor r- ? J...... - '?

Another horseplaver "goos eci someone with an air hose. He was rushed to the hospital where eight inches of his intestines had to be removed. Big joke? Two men were going through a swinging door from one department to another and the practical joker slammed the door back into the other fellow's face. All of his front teeth were knocked out and had to be replaced with false ones. Guess they all had a big laugh out of that one. or did they? Then there was another character who put some sand down into an air hose, knowing that several fellows used it to clean off their clothes, even though they had been warned constantly not to. One did. He had to be hospitalized a good while, but now you have to get pretty close up to see that one of his eyes is glass, lie doesn't think it much of a joke, nor do his friends. These are not fictitious "jokes", hut actual cases which have happened in mills similar to ours. We could cite many more from the records. hut we believe these are sufficient to remind us of the pain and ai*onv which can result from just a little horseplay. Chances are the j HE CLOTHMAKE ?
