ASK AMENDMENT Important Changes in the State Compensation Act Suggested by Doctors ' A script of radical changes in the I provisions of the £tate Workmen's Compensation acts relative to medical ' and surgical matters was suggested to the State Compensation Board to- I day by a committee headed by Dr. J. | B. McAlieter, of this city, ex-president iof the State Medical Society, and representing that organization, the | State Homeopathic Medical society land the State Eclectic Medical society. The committee discussed the pro ' posed change with members of the board and a further meeting will [likely be arranged. The State admin i istration has not yet announced its policy in regard to the compensation j acts in the coming winter, but at the I recent Industrial Welfare and Effl : elency conference there were expres- I sions in speeches in favor of retain, ing the acts for a further test of two years. The amendments proposed by the medical men to-day were as follows: Creation of a permanent medical advisory council of three medical men, representing each of the three recog nized schools of medicine in the State, to act upon all medical and surgical questions that may be appealed from the board's decision. Employment by the State of a con sulting physician and surgeon who shall not have any other governmen tal affiliation, nor any with corpora tions or employers to prepare ques tions to be laid before the board. Making- the board a court of ap peals on matters in dispute regarding services of physicians and that all medical matters on appeal be referred to the medical advisory council. Changing the period of disability for medical attention from 14 to 30 days, the date of disability to be fixed from the time the patient reports for treatment. Elimination of the word "major operation" for the act and amending is so as to provide for increase of the maxim.of medical or surgical and hos pital services to S2OO and to allow a sliding scale of fees, the rates of charge to be In accord with those the physician in charge is accustomed to receive from other members of the same community of the same stand ard of living in his community.

Deo. 14.—While fleeing from a six-loot rattlesnake near Wit tenburg, Ariz., a few weeks ago Her-' man Hertz, of Los Angeles, nearly fell into a prospector's hole, but man- I aged to bring himself up standing in time to nee the snake plunge to Its death. Hertz who is a businessman, and not a miner, rescued the snake's body and had himself photographed I with it. Then before he left he picked up several specimens of the rock tlifc miners had discarded in their sear< h for gold. These he took to his home city and had essayed, with the result that he learned that the rock, which i was of colors varying from yellow to purple, contained from 2 to 4 per cent, of vanadium, which is used in hard ened steel and an extremely valuable product, especially at this time. Returning to Arizona, he bought nn interest in the property and sent the shaft down to a depth of sixty feet, all of the way in ore and in a body eigh teen feet in diameter. He arrived in Denver recently in response to a tele-', gram offering him SIOO,OOO cash for the property, which came from a group of Denver capitalists. This offer he has submitted to his partners, but is inclined to believe that it will be rejected. ALLIGATOR USED TO CLEAX SEWERS A 600-ft. 12-in. sewer in Florida recently became clogged with sand and dirt. Several sewer-cleaning contrivances were used and about $1,500 was spent, but to no avail. The pipe remained in its unsatisfac tory condition. Just when everyone had given up in despair a small alli gator was secured, to which was fast ened a rope. The animal, when low ered into the pipe, proceeded toward the next manhole, dragging tho rope after him. When the alligator had traversed one section of the sewer,; the rope, to the middle of which' knotted chains were attached, was pulled back and forth and the ob-! structions removed.
