HOW THEY SAY IT IN SOUTH
AMERICA
The mission schools in South Am
j erica yield a rich harvest of mis
takes in English, such as are always
imminent because of the close similar
ity between Spanish and English. The
consonants "b" and "v" in Spanish
are practically interchangeable. A
teacher having given some dictation
to her class was, therefore, not so
J astonished as amused to have it come
! back to her:
"Then give to the world the
vest you have,
And the vest will come back
to you."
| The same teacher has kept a col
[ lection of some other slips which need
>no explanation. "I don't could"; "A
1 pigeon with a rag tied around its
| paw"; "My father is very thick"; "My
watch is not well; it is anticipate";
j "I have to wash my hair very often
[ because It is so fat."
Two other mistakes probably arise
1 from a confusion of somewhat similar
! words rather than from the Spanish
reaction to a Puritan Sabbath. "Re
j member the Sabbath Day to keep it
| hollow": "The Lord bless the Sab-
I bath Day and howled it." World

INSUR ANCE RATES [
UNDER THE STATE
Attorney General's Opinion an
Important Matter For Lia
bility Business
The attorney general in answering
the request of the insurance commis
sioner for.an official opinion as to the
authority of the commissioner to ap
prove or disapprove policies of insur
ance against liability under Article
111 of the Workmen's Compensation
Act of 1915, particularly as to whether
the policy is drawn to comply with the
requirements of Sections 1, 2 and 3 of
act .141, and also as to the limitation
of the coverage to insure against lia
bility for compensation only under the
Workmen's Compensation Act, also as
to whether the commissioner has Uie
power under the act to disapprove of
any system of schedule or merit rat
ing under which an insurance com
pany will inspect and rate its own
risks, without any regulations what
ever, or may the commissioner request
that schedule rating shall be applied
only after an impartial inspection and
rating of risks has been made; holds
that the commissioner has the power
under the law to approve of a policy
of insurance drawn In compliance
with Section 1 and 3 of the act, and
to disapprove of one at variance
therewith, -to the extent that the pro
visions of the policy shall be appropri
ate to the act's specific requirements,
and for the enforcement of his au
thority to this end the power to re
voke the license of an offending in
surer could be invoked; also that the
commisisoner has the authority under
the net to approve or disapprove of
a contract or policy of insurance in
respect to its coverage, and to re
quire a policy form providing or a
coverage limited to a liability for com
pensation only under the Workmen's
Compensation act of 1915.
In passing on tho question of sched
ule or merit rating, he holds that the
provisions of the law, in effect and
intent, place the whole system of
schedule or merit rating steadily un
der the commissioner's control and
supervision. No such system can be
applied or become effective without i
his approval. This is tantamount to I
the power to regulate the same. The i
inspection or rating of risks necessary |
to be made to enable him to approve
intelligently the adequacy of any sys
tem of merit rating is a matter for
his determination and within his
sound administrative discretion. lie
may approve such system in any case
where in his judgment it is adequate
to the risks to which it applies, or he
may disapprove of it ff it fails therein,
or he may withdraw his approval of
any schedule if in hia judgment it is
inadequate to provide the necessary
reserves. If a company under a sys
tem of merit rating could inspect and
rale its own risks without any regu
lation whatever, it would take from !
the insurance commissioner that con-j
trol over the adequacy of such system j
with which he is specifically clothed !
by the act.
The conclusion is clear that the;
commissioner has the power to dis- j
approve of any system of schedule or
merit rating whatever, and that it can
only be lawfully applied where it has
had his approval.
The act does not expressly charge
the commissioner with the duty of ap
proving a general system of merit rat
ing. but in effect lie possesses the pow
er to establish a general system since
none filed by an insurer is effective
without his approval from any that
f; Is to measure up thereto.
This opinion implies the power to
establish a general system of Inspec
tion and merit rating.

territory again urging the enactment i
of measures for additional good roads. I
Towns Connected
wist own and Mifflintown are pre- j
sen ting just reasons why they should
be placed on the William Penn High
way. They are both county seats and
both situated in the very heart of ex
ceptionally good farming communities.
The two towns are connected with
Road No. 1 of the Sproul good roads
bill and this highway runs through one
of the most picturesque stretches of
country in the world, the Lewistown
Narrows. No artist could portray the
grandeur of the scenes in this wonder
ful country. The great high moun
tains on either side of the blue J uniata
lend the appearance of the palisades
of the Hudson to this twelve-mile
stretch. The Juniata winds and turns
majestically through the mountains
and the progress of its flow and the
beauty of its course have been told in
song and story.
Tourists from tlie Kast and West
could find no prettier spot, than the
Narrows through which to travel, and
then, too, another Interesting fact is
that the towns at either end of the
Narrows are among tho busiest and
most progressive in Pennsylvania.
Both are manufacturing towns and
shipping points for hundreds of people
so that within tlio course of a very
few miles tourists can see both the
beauties of nature and the commer
cial life of industrious inland towns.

lending: every effort. In Lewistown
petitions are being circulated and by
the time the meeting in Harrisburg is
opened the names of one thousand
businessmen of the borough will be
affixed to the papers.
Petitions have also been sent to
towns round about Lewistown, includ
ing MeVeytown, Strode's Mills, Matta
wanna, Lewistown Junction and
Granville, and these petitions not
only ask that the highway pass
through Lewistown. but also through
the other towns mentioned, which are
west of Lewistown. After Lewistown
is officially placed on the route there
are two ways by which Huntingdon
can be reached. One route leads
through Burnliam, Yeagertown and
Reedsville, thence through the Kislia
cociuillas Valley to Mill Creek and
across to Huntingdon. From Mill
Crock to Reedsville there is a State
built road, and from Keedsville to
Lewistown there is a toll road. This
stretch is six miles in length and
autoists are charged 45 cents toll. This
portion, however, is in good condition
and inasmuch as the State has de
clared lier intention of taking over all
toll roads ?t will mean that Lewistown
will have a good route to Mill Creek
by way of Reedsville. Btctvn of this, ,
residents of Lewistown are working
for a road which they aro not so sure
of getting but which would pass
through a much prettier stretch of
country after leaving the borough.
The route to Mill Creek would also be
somewhat, shortened, too. This road
would follow the old Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh turnpike along the Juniata
river to MeVeytown and then to a
noint near Newton Hamilton and to
Mount Union and Mill Creek. The
road along the river at the present
time is not in very good condition,
but Lewistown folks want the State to
secure it and build a highway so that
they will have easy access to the towns
along the river and towns which are
touched by the Pennsylvania railroad
on its route to the West. The river
route has by far many more beauties
in store for the tourist than has the
route through the Kishacoquillas Val
ley. and then, too, it passes through
more important towns.
Residents of Reedsville. Yeagertown
and Burnliam are desirous that the
highway pass through their towns, but
thoy are making a determined effort
I t<r offset the route through MeVey
town. for with the construction of a
good road along the course of the old
turnpike they, too. would have another
good road to the West, and hence they
are signing the petition' which has
been headed by Lewistown residents.
In MeVeytown plans are being made
for a big meeting to show just to what
extent the residents wani the highway,
and at this session, according to the
plans, a delegation of citizens will be
appointed to attend the Harrisburg
meeting.
Selecting Delegation *
Although flnal plans for sending a
delegation of Lewistown'citizens to
Havrisburg 011 March 27 to attend the
big meeting »f those interested in the
proposed William Penn Highway have
not yet been made, some arrangements
will be made within the next, week or
two. Just now petitions are being cir
culated through the efforts of J. O. | 1
Felker and Thomas S. Johnson and
already there arc more than 500 sign
ers. Only a part of the town has been
covered, so that indications 'are that
there will be at least 1.000 names on 1
the Lewistown petition by the time the 1
meeting is called. There will be 1,000
or 1,500 names on the petitions cir- ]
culated in the surrounding towns, so
that it is reasonable to believe that
the petitions coining from Lewistown
and the territory round about will con
tain at least 2,500 signers, and all of
these people will be in favor of having
the William Penn Highway pass over
the old turnpike route to Mill Creek
and along the Juniata river.
Just how the Lewistown delegation
will be selected has not yet been de
cided, but it is possible that a meeting
will be called of the boosters and at
that time delegates will be chosen. At
that meeting, too, some program
which will show why Lewistown
should be placed on the route and also
the advantages of the river route will
be mapped out.
The plan of the Lewistown folks is
to have tourists enter the borough at
Main street and then travel to Monu
ment Square, turning to the left Into
Market street and then traveling over
well-paved streets to the old turnpike
at the end of Market street.

It is expected that within the course
of a few weeks a lot of deer will be
placed in Ilie Indian Creek valley in
Fayette. Efforts are being directed to
have a herd of 30 purchased by the
State from a private preserve near
Uniontown, liberated north of (lie
Youghiogheny river for the reason
that if they were placed south of the
stream they would soon find their way
into Maryland and West Virginia.
Secretary Munson has been notified
that 20 to 25 ringneck pheasants and
10 wild turkeys are to be received
soon, also. With the State stocking
that section with t,urkeys, he contends
that it would be unwise to permit
shooting them at once.
