COMPENSATION RULINGS ISSUED i Unusual Cases Passed Upon by i the Board and Precedents Established The State Compensation Board In an 1 opinion by Commissioner James W. Leech has ordered a new hearing in the compensation claim of Thomas Shell. Tower City, against the Phila dephla and Reading Coal and Iron Company, in which the question of Injury on land of an employer used for a path is raised. The evidence showed an accident resulting in an injury to havo hap pened, according to Mr. Leech, "be cause of the condition of the path over the land owned by and contiguous to the operations being conducted there by the defendant company and which was used generally by its employes going to and returning from work." The opinion says "There is a dis tinction between the word 'premises' as used in the act and the word prop erty. The claimant was admittedly on the property of the employer at the time of the accident, but was he on his 'premises?' If he was he is en titled to compensation. The word 'premises' can not be enlarged in its meaning and application so as to in clude 'land' and 'property.' There is a line somewhere between them. There is a limit to 'premises' and this is the only question before us for con sideration. The board regrets that I there is not sufficient evidence on this feature of the case upon which to base ! an opinion." The board has upheld Referee Scott of Philadelphia, in the | awards in cases Involving question of I employer's business and loss of a I hand. Chairman Harry A. Mackey has! made a ruling settling the question of i compensation for two injuries suffered at the same time which will probably establish a precedent in compensa tion matters. The opinion was ren dered in the claim of Thomas Mc- Hugh against the Philadelphia Subur ban Gas and Electric Co., the claim ant having suffered a fracture of bones of his left foot and injury to his left eye by a fall at the plant of the com pany at Chester. The man has not been able to work j because of the injury to his foot and [ Mr. Mackey rules that the claimant Is entitled to fifty per cent, of wages earned at the time of the accident "as long as the present permanent dis ability shall exist, the said award not to run longer, however, than 500 ■weeks." If in the meantime, it is held, "the injuries to the claimant shall sol yield to medical treatment that his present inability to work shall be re duced to partial disability and he at tains a certain earning capacity, then upon petition to the board, this award will be accordingly modified." In regard to the claim for the loss of the eye Mr. Mackey makes an award of fifty per cent, of wages for 125 weeks "to cover the permanent loss of the claimant's left eye. the said payments to begin at the termination of the payments provided for the dis ability to the claimant outside and be yond the loss of the said eye." The employer's course in the pro ceedings. especially in payment of ex pert medical bills in order to obtain full evidence to decide the question on appeal is commended by the opinion. An employe injured while on his way to reclothe himself after hav ing garments damaged while at work for his employer is entitled to the protection of the State Compensation Act. according to an opinion render ed by Commissioner Scott in the case of Mahala Belden, of Piaintield. X. J., against Austin G. Greer, Holmesburg. Th case is an unusual one and create? a precedent. Bolden was employed as a track driver and in loading" stone toro his clothing so badly that it was impossible to continue work. "A necessity to reclothe himself was thereby created that he might pro ceed with his work," says Mr. Scott. "To do this he was obliged to leave the place where he was working and to go to such place as he could pro cure overalls. This purpose and act on the part of the employe was so incident to the business of his em ployer and so closely connected with the effectual carrying out of his con tract of employment as to be a part of it * * *. That he was hurt in following out what appears to us to be in the direct line of ndvancine the business of his employer is enough to throw about him the pro tection of section 301." The employ er's appeal is dismissed. The board in opinions by Chairman Harry A. Mnckev has anheld the decisions o' Referee Paul W. Houck in two cases relative to dependency. Skin trouble costs many a man his job No matter how efficient a man may be, if he has an ugly skin-eruption, there are positions in which he cannot be tolerated. He may know that it is not in the least contagious, but other people are afraid, they avoid him, and he j must make way for a man with a clear, healthy skin. Why run this risk, when Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap stop itching and clear away eczema and similar humors, so quickly and easily ?

Considering the fact that there were 50,000 fewer acres sown to corn and that the weather conditions were distinctly unfavorable during May and June, the yield is pronounced very good. The average production is put down as 37 bushels per acre, against 3 6 bushels last year, and In some sections big crops were harvest ed. Lancaster, for instance, har vested 5,253,625 bushels, or an aver age of 65 to the acre, while Warren, which was in the district affected by the early frosts, got only an average of 16. York stands second in yield with 4,715,820 bushels, an average of 60 bushels; Berks third with 2,935,968 bushels and an average of 51; Ches ter being next with 2,842,505 bushel* and an average of six better than Berks.
