ODD ACCIDENTS

There is no really safe place in the orld. A ten-year-old boy went into-a able to pet a horse and a little latar as found dead. The horse's tail, lasjiig out, encircled the boy's neck and ie long hairs caught like a noose, uiging him. That was one of the odd icidents of the last year recorded by ie National Safety Council (U.S.A. 1 ). yen a bowling alley is dangerous, n Illinois man stuck his thumb and ro fingers into a heavy ball, took aim, td swung—but the ball did not roll iwn the alley to scatter the pins. It ang to his fingers, swung around in i arc, and struck him over the eye. hitch-hiker was marooned in solid i for three hours when his peg leg jze in the mud as he thumbled at ssing motorists. Gas exploded under Chicago street, and flipped manhole vers high; one of them soared over five-storey warehouse and dropped wn an elevator shaft, killing an erator. Two passengers on the cletor were unhurt. When her husband iled to answer a call to dinner, but pt on snoring, a St. Louis woman sped him on the head with the heel her slipper and fractured his skull. Clevelander dreamed he was being ased, and jumped from a secondly window in his sleep, but only ictured an ankle. And a little girl lowa who didn't want a spanking Id a can opener in the way and puhcred her mother's hand.
