HALE HILL SENDS
IN RESIGNATION
Corporation Clerk Resigned
Office Three Weeks Ago and
Leaves July 1
Hale Hill, chief of the Bureau of
Corporations of the Auditor General's
department for the last two years,
will retire from the office on July 1,
having tendered his resignation to
Auditor General A. W. Powell three
weeks ago. Mr. Hill's retirement was
voluntary, although it has been com
mon knowledge that he had not been
in sympathy with the political policy
of his chief and of some of his asso
ciates in the department. Mr. Hill was
a supporter of Charles A. Snyder for
Auditor General and was not enthusi
astic about the Brumbaugh campaign.
There are also reports that he dis
agreed with other officials in the de
partment over taxation matters.
Mr. Hill lives at Tarentum and is an
attorney at the Allegheny county bar.
He was associated with the Auditor
General at one time. He succeeded
James V. Murray as corporation chief,
a position paying $5,090, and has had
charge of important corporation tax
settlements. When the campaign
started he did not go the same way
that the Auditor General went and
there are reports that he resented pa
pers being circulated to make him a
candidate for nation? 1 delegate or al
ternate without his knowledge. How
ever, he gave to Powell's fund and will
likely get his cheek back, as it was not
in the list as tiled.
Mr. Powell said last night that Mr.
Hill's retirement was of his own
volition and that the other changes
made were not the result of polities.
Chief Clerk William B. Kay. of
McKecsport, was named to succeed
Hill, and Osoftr H. Graff, Meadville,
chief clerk of the Bureau of Accounts,
was promoted as chief clerk of the
department, succeeding Kay. Graff
is succeeded by Patrick A. Kennedy,
of Scranton. a clerk in the Bureau of
Corporations.

moted to be assistant special assistant
corporation clerk at $3,000 a year, an
increase of S6OO, avid Fred A. Heim,
Williamsport: William R. Kimball,
Dunbar, and S. R. Pealer, Berwick,
clerks, were promoted to $2,000 clerk
shins.
The salary of Miss Bess R. Weller,
Middletown, stenographer, was in
creased to SI,BOO, and John C. Hae
gele, Philadelphia, an additional clerk,
was promoted to a $1,600 clerkship.
W. B. McCreary, Pittsburgh, was
named as a special assistant to the
chief of the Corporation Bureau, sal
ary not fixed.
John D. Frenie, of this city, pho
tographer for the State Highway De
nartment, was also appointed a clerk.

HARRISBURG &&&L TELEGRAPH
COMPENSATION
AND THE MINERS
Chief Roderick Makes Some
Interesting Comments Upon
the Subject in Report
The operation of the State work
men's compensation law from the
standpoint of the people who cut the
coal from the earth is set by
James E. Roderick, State Chief of
Mines, in a recently issued report. The
chief has been making a study of the
subject and presents his views in the
following language:
"Compensation for industrial acci
dents is not by any means a new idea.
The desire to assist those who are in
jured or those who may be left de
pendent has mai)f itself felt in numer
ous attempts at compensation in years
gone by. In fact, the controlling prin
ciple of the trade guilds that existed
during the middle centuries was the
principle that underlies the compen
sation movement of to-day. While the
idea is old, the first governmental ad
ministration of any of the so-called
helpful measures was inaugurated in
Germany about sixty years ago. In
that country they now have an em
ployers' liability law and also com
pulsory sick and accident benefits. It
was not, however, until the twentieth
century that compensation legislation
reached a position of importance in
the world at large.
"Compensation legislation may very
appropriately -fee classed among the
highest of governmental attainments.
It is the evidence of a fine humani
tarian spirit, a spirU, fortunately, that
is daily awakening io greater activity
and urging to greater accomplishment;
and while the present laws on this
subject in this country are tentative in
force and necessarily somewhat crude
and defective, they nevertheless mark
an important step in the direction of
ultimate protection to the working
classes. The Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania by the enactment of the com
pensation law of 1915 has taken its
place among the most advanced and
progressive States of the Union in this
beneficent form of legislation, and to
Governor Brumbaugh much credit is
due for his consistent and staunch
advocacy of the measure.
"In this connection it is -worthy of
note that no State that has adopted
compensation has ever relinquished it
to go back to the unfair and uncertain
common law basis of liability.
"The Department of Mines views
with pleasure the progress in compen
satlon legislation, as it is in keeping
MAKING CHILDREN EAT
Nothing is ever gained by forcing a
child to eat when it refuses food. Make
eure that nothing is being eaten between
meals to destroy the natural appetite
and if your growingchild does nothave
a healthful craving for pood, honest
food at mealtimes there is something
the matter. Threats of punishment it
the child does not eat will not correct
the difficulty.
A fitful appetite in a growing child,
especially it the patient is pale, languid,
nervous, irritable, and without ambi
tion, usually means that the blood is
thin. A non-alcoholic tonic such as
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is demanded.
During her 'teens a girl lays the foun
dation for her future health. Lack of
blood at this time may rob her of
robust, healthy womanhood. It is of
the greatest importance to administer
to girls who grow pale and weak a safe
tonic and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
meet every requirement of the most
careful mother. They make the blood
rich and red and it carries renewed
health and strength to every part of the
body.
Your own druggist sells Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills. Send today to the
Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Bchenec
tady, N. Y., for the book, "Building
Up the Blood." It is free.

with the frequent suggestions made in
the annual reports of the department
as to the necessity for giving protec
tion to the workers of the State, par
ticularly the mine employes, the first
suggestion having been made in 1882
by the present chief of the depart
ment who was then a State mine in
spector in the anthracite region. The
recent suggestions by the department
have been along the line of placing a
tax on the coal production. A tax of
2 % cents a ton on the annual output,
approximating 260,000,000 tons, would
yield $6,250,000 revenue, or $120,000
a week, a sum undoubtedly adequate
for the purpose.
"Under the act of 1915 the entire
mining community will enjoy a pro
tection never known before, and the
assistance will come to the miners and
their families without the necessity of
appeal to the employer or resort to the
courts. It can never, of course, be
pleasing to contemplate injury from
accident, but there will be, neverthe
less, a sense of comfort to both the
miner and to his family in the thought
that in case of a calamity, perhaps
unavoidable or inevitable, the burden
will be somewhat lightened by a cer
tain and definite recompense. In times
of distress such as follow all severe
accidents the assurance of even a com
paratively smkll fund for sustenance
will be most grateful.
"Pennsylvania has been fortunate in
having a large and efficient State in
spection force, whose duty it has been
to insist upon the enforcement of the
provisions of the laws that relate to
safety conditions in the mines. It has
also been fortunate in the large num
ber of operators who have shown a re
markable degree of consideration for
their employes, not only by installing
in the mines practically every modern
safety device and adopting the most
comprehensive rules of safety, but by
their humanitarian efforts in the way
of aiding in the establishment of relief
funds for those who are injured or
those who may be left dependent. No
doubt, however, the additional obli-

gations that will be placed upon the
operators by reason of the enforce
ment of the compensation law will act
as a spur to still further efforts In the
way of improving the conditions of
safety. The certainty that every seri
ous accident Will rec,uire the outlay of
a definite sum of money will be a
strong incentive to go to extremes in
the way of protective measures. Just
what further precautions they can
take is a matter of conjecture, as most
of them have already more than com
piled with the requirements of the law
in this respect. There will, however,
undoubtedly be a more rigid enforce
ment of the mine rules, and the indi
vidual worker will have emphasized to
him the necessity for constant atten
tion to the ever-present dangers that
surround his occupation.
"The compensation act will there
fore have the double virtue of tending
to prevent accidents and of caring for
the employes who arc so unfortunate
as to suffer from them."

A New, Harmless Way
to Banish Hairy Growths
(Beauty Topics)
By following this suggestion any
woman can, in the privacy of her own
home, remove every trace of hair or
fuzz from her face: With powdered
delatone and water mix enough paste
to cover the not wanted hairs: apply
and in 2 or 3 minutes rub off and wash
the skin. This method is unfailing,
[ harmless and quick in results, but
| care should be employed to get the
I genuine delatone.
