COMPENSATION
PLAN OUTLINED
State Board Not in Favor of
Commutation Except in Cases
of Unusual Merit
Policy of the State Workmen's Com- !
pensation Board is granting commuta- I
iion to a lump sum of compensation |
for death or injuries of a relative is 1
outlined in an opinion filed to-day by |
Chairman Harry A. Mackey in the case
of Mary Stifure, of M*Kees Hocks,
against the Standard Steel Car Co., of;
Pittsburgh. The board will grant com
mutation only in "exceptionally meri- I
torious cases," says Mr. Mackey.
The petitioner has been paid com
pensation at the rate of $6,015 cover
ing a period of fifteen years, the bene
fits being for herself and three small
ihildren and the decision says that the
widow desires to have one sum paid
to her instead of substantial semi
tnrnthly payments. "It seems to thet
board that it will be well to protect
her as against herself by refusing her '
petition," says the decision. "It will
only be in rare cases that we can
wisely exercise this discretion by grant
ing such petitions. It is a great temp
tation to a widow or any beneficiary:
under this law to ask that the compen- |
sation payments be commuted to pres. 1
ent value and paid in a lump sum. j
We think, however, in a great major-!
Ity of these cases these petitions are j
ill advised and a real wrong would be '
3one to the petitioners if we granted
their prayers."
The opinion says that the act pro
vides for payments so as to relieve de
pendents of real want and continues
"In the majority pt these cases the de
pendents have been unaccustomed to
the use of money in bulk and the sud
den acquisition of a considerable sum
might readily lead to its unwise ex
penditure or to Us unfortunate invest
ment. The widow might terminate her
dependency by remarrying and then
the money would probably be spent
without regard to the rights or best
Interests of the children."
"As a general rule," continues the
opinion, "we are opposed to granting
such petitions to alien citizens who

NEW NAVY LOOKS
TO HARDSCRABBLE
Permanent Organization of
River Enthusiasts Awaiting
Court Decision
Organization Monday evening of the
city s big "navy" of canoeists, motor
boat men and other river enthusiasts
has revived with a vengeance the gen
eral demand among water sportsmen
for municipal boathouses and bathing
beaches.
"Our numbers are growing daily and
the needs in th« way of boathouse and
bathhouse facilities are growing pro
portionately," as one river enthusiast
put it, "and I believe the City Council
men are beginning to appreciate this.
(, ertainly they must think of some way
of providing suitable quarters for hous
ing our boats after 'Hardscrabble' is
eliminated.
Recognition in Budget
"From what I can gather from their
statements yesterday in the Telegraph,
a majority of them favor permanent
recognition of the river 'basin' possi
bilities via the annual budget.
"Furthermore, the 'Hardscrabble'
problem is nearing solution. The Dau
phin county courts are considering the
legal phases now and of course every
body realizes that the decision can be
expected most any day. Certainly none
is awaiting the court's opinion more
eagerly than the river sportsmen, un
less, of course, it be the resident of
Hardscabble' who is wondering what
he shall do—whether he shall look
about for another residence or whether
he shall take a chance and wait."
That the "Hardscrabble" site is the
logical place for the location of a
municipal boathouse or boathouses is
the opinion of many river sportsmen.
"When the Cars Are Running"
"The site," said one canoeist last
evening; ' is pretty nearly qentral, if
one considers the growth of the sub
urbs. It can readily be reached by
trolley—when the cars are running,
that is—and the water. I think, is just
Ithat1 that v l c 'nity for the launching
or the bo^ts.
At the gathering of the water en
thusiasts Monday evening the question
of municipal boat and bathing facili
ties were subjects of many an infor
mal discussion before and after the
business meeting. Incidentally some
ideas as to type and location were ex
changed. One expressed the opinion
that there should be several municipal
boathouses. located for the most part
in the "Hardscrabble" district if pos
sible. and constructed in such a way
that the roofs would not project above
the level of the park In order that the
view from the street be not obstructed.
The Municipal Boathouse
Erection of several boathouses, In
his opinion, would provide a chance
to organize boat clubs for the houses
and thus increase the spirit of rivalry.
Another enthusiast suggested that
one of the larger dwellings which are
in the condemned "Hardscrabble" sec
tion might be renovated by the city in
such a way as to offer ample facilities
at comparatively little expense and
without loss of much time. Still an
other opinion advanced was for the
construction of a spacious municipal
boathouse with ample runways, plenty
of lockers and boat racks, a big room
or hall for boat club meetings, and so
on. and with ample space on the roof
for observation and recreation.
The City is Ready
That the city will proceed with the
filing of bonds against the condemned
properties just as soon as the Dauphin
county courts hand down the "Hard
scrabble" opinion is generally under
stood in municipal circles.
That will mean, of course, that raz
ing of the buildings will be started as
soon as the bonds are approved and
City Commissioner W. H. Lynch, It is
understood, is to go ahead with the
removal of the buildings. The. city,
however, has planned to turn over all
the material from the buildings, in
cluding lumber, bricks, stone, etc., to
the owners who want it. with the un
'"•rstanding that they move it away.

Penrose Wants Armor Plate
Advertisements on Record
Washington, D. C., July 19. Sen
ator Penrose attempted to have print
ed as a Congressional document, at
public expense, the series of advertise
ments which the Bethlehem Steel
Company has printed in opposition to
the Government Armor Plate bill.
"They're instructive," argued Sena
tor Penrose.
"Let the Steel Company pay for the
printing from the profits they've made
from government armor contracts for
two decades," objected Senator Reed,
of Missouri.
"They are so enlightening that I
shall read them into the Congressional
Record," said Senator Penrose, after
Senator Reed had formally invoked
Senate rules to prevent the printing
of the advertisements as a separate
document.
Senatpr Penrose pointed to a pile
of the ads on his desk. He will read
them into the record as part of a
speech against the bill.
Senator Taggart, of Indiana, broke
the apparently solid Democratic ranks
for the bill. He asked Senator Swan
son. in charge of tne bill, if it had
been proved the government could
manufacture more cheaply than the
private firms. If not, he said-, he op
posed the proposea 111,000,000 ap
propriation.
Senator Swanson said naval experts
favored the government plant. On a
point of order discussion was post
poned after Senator Oliver had given
notice of an amendment to strike the
armor plant from the bill.

HAY CROP GOES TO
HIGHEST FIGURES
j .
| Immense Yield Is Reported
From All Sections of the Key
stone Commonwealth
One of the finest hay crops that has
ever been harvested in Pennsylvania is
now being placed away by the State's
farmers, and from figures collected
by the Bureau of Statistics of the De
partment of Agriculture, it is estimat
ed at 4,703,400 tons. Last year the
estimated hay crop in Pennsylvania
was 3,558,000 tons at an average of
1.18 tons to an acre but the condi
tions during the past winter and this
Spring have been so favorable to the
growing of clover and timothy that
this average per acre has increased to
1.56 tons to an acre which is decidedly
above the ten year average mark.
The hay crop in all sections of the
State is a big one, only six counties
reporting below the average of 100 per
cent. These counties are Greene, Juni
ata, Montour, Northampton. Northum
berland and Snyder and the margin
below the average crop is very low.
The expected large increase in the
acreage planted to potatoes on Key
stone State fa/-ms this season has not
materialized according to figures gath
ered throughout the State. Instead of
an increase tnere has been noted a de
crease of about three per cent, or
I 8,000 acres.
The condition of potatoes on July 1
was about 90 per cent, of the average
and this indicates a total production
in the State of about 18,030,812 bush
els this year as com-pared with 20,-
502,000 bushels a year ago. Last year
the average production per acre was
75 bushels, but this year, according
to present conditions, this average will
be reduced to about 68 bushels an acre.
These figures may be Increased with
the August reports when more detail
ed figures upon actual crops can be se
cured. Owing to the high price ob
tained for potatoes last Fall and win
ter it was expected that the acreage
would be largely increased, but the
wet weather and condition of the
ground at planting time made condi
tions so unfavorable that the results
expected were not obtained.
The large crop of Iruit during June
reduced the prospects of the apple and
peach crops in the State considerably,
but from present indications there will
be an ample apple crop while the
peach crop while only a trifle more
than half of 4ast year should produce
some exceptional fruit. According to
figures gathered by the department
the peach crop will be about fifty-five
per cent, of a normal yield throughout
the State. There aro some counties
where very few peaches will be picked
from the trees and others where the
production is almost up to the normal.
Two Amendments Likely to
Cause Trouble in Naval Bill
Washington, July 15. The hardest
fought provisions of the naval bill had
been approved when the Senate took
up the measure again to-day. Adop
tion of the increased building pro
gram, left two amendments thought
likely to bring determined opposition.
One would have the Federal Trade
Commisson investigate the armor
plate situation, before /he government
builds a plant and the other would
prohibit use of a United States war
ship in Latin-American waters from
collecting money due a private indi
vidual.
ROTARIAXS FORttET BUSINESS

eral discussion occurred. The rest of

POLAND THRIVING
UNDER GERMANS
Secretary of Interior Says
Fields of Standing Grain and
Herds of Cows Are Seen
By Associated Press
Berlin, July 1». —* By Wireless
Warm commendation of the work done
in Russian Poland by the Germans dur
ing the period of occupation was given
by Dr. Karl Helffrich, secretary of the
Interior, and the Imperial Vice Chan
cellor to-day on his return from a visit
to that country.
Dr. Helffrich, who recounted the im
pressions of his visit to a member of
the Overseas News Agency staff, con
trasted the condition of the country
under Russian rule with the state of
affairs there to-day. In the time of
peace, before the outbreak of the war,
the Russians had neglected the coun
try, said Dr. Helffrich. Then came the
period of hostilities, wniclj devastated
the land. Under these conditions the
Germans took up their work, which
the Vice Chancellor Insisted has been
accomplished with a Success which
could find few parallels in history.
Regiment Gives Horse*
The retreating Russians, Dr. Helffrich
pointed out, had burned villages and
towns and destroyed the harvests. The
Germans first built roads through the
devastated territory and supplied cat
tle and seeds to the inhabitants, with
the result that now one frequently
could see 'ierds of a hundred or more
cattle, while fields of standing grain
were on all sides. He cited an instance
of aid given the Inhabitants by the Ger
mans, the farmers of oni district be
ing left the horses of two regiments
for field work on orders given by Gen
eral Ludendorflf.
Dr. Helffrich said he found schools
everywhere, now even at places where
none were maintained when the Rus
sians ruled the country. The University
of Warsaw, where lectures were given
in the Polish tongue, had a large num
ber of students.
Jetva Well Treated
All nationalities. Dr. Helffrich said,
were given equal recognition with the
white Russians and Lithuanians. Ter
rible suffering existed among the Jews
when the Germans arrived, the Vice
Chancellor declared, and in most towns
they had been excluded from the schools
bv the Russians. The Germans, he add
ed. introduced self-government In the
country for the first time, and admitted
Jewish representatives to the govern
mental bodies.

USING UP VITALITY
The struggle for euccees uses up
vitality in America at a greater rate
than any other thing. Fighting to keep
away from the poor-house we shorten

Especially in middle age, at forty or '
thereabouts, do we become impressed
with the necessity of laying up a com- j
petence and with that feeling in time !
comes worry, breakdown, neu- I
rasthenia. The entire system feels the '
result of the nervous strain. Thediges

Daring Bathing Suits Would
Give Trees Reason Fcr Sighs
Williamsport, Pa., July 19. The
one-piece bathing suit has caused a
j furore in Cammal, a small summer
| resort along Pine creek. The apparel
lis worn by women campers. An edict
by the villlagers declares that future
displays of such garments will be fol
lowed by arrests.
A self-appointed committee of Cam
mal residents has issued this state
ment:
"The costumes were very unbecom
ing and should only have been used
in the most secluded wilderness where
there would have been no one to
watch but the tall timbers, and then
it is safe to say that the pine and
hemlock would have had ample rea
son for their sighs."
