With the workmen's compensation act going into effect January 1, ap proximately 200,000 employers in i Pennsylvania must, before that date, protect their employes by compen sation insurance.

The State in surance fund is allowed a 10 per cent. | reduction under the rates as approved j for stock companies. The manual containing the approval rates is the first to be issued in this | State and contains a number of rulings j regulating the writing of compensa tion insurance. Plant Inspections Industrial plants which install safe guards to protect their employes from injury will be given schedule inspec tions by inspectors from the Depart ment of Labor and Industry, and the central rating bureau to determine per centages of reduction from the ap proved rates in recognition of the pre cautions that have been adopted within such plants. Rates for coal mining have not been approved by the Insurance Depart ment.

M. Brady's de cree that she he permitted to heat her husband in any way she desires for the next two weeks. Such was the decision when Perry Brasher was in police court in Kan sas City, Kan., charged by his wife with disturbance of the peace anil as saulting her. Mrs. Brasher testified her husband had an ungovernable temper, threw his Sunday dinner off the table and struck her for correcting their child. Brasher said he merely pushed his wife. i "The way to correct such fellows as i you," said the judge, "Is to let you I tajce some of your own medicine. I am going to give your wife permls | slon—and 1 want her to use her prlvi ' lege—to beat you up in any way she | pleases for the next two weeks; then I I want both of you to report to me.
