COMPENSATE MAN
HURT IN FIGHT
Employer Liable "For Injuries
Received in Row Over
1 Work
Compensation for injury in an ul- !
f tercation arising between a foreman ,
and an employe over the way work \
was being done should be compensat- |
ed according to a decision given last j
evening by Compensation Commls- |
sioner James W. Leech in an unusual ;
case arising from Mifflin cpunty.
Jesse W. Deerlng, Lcwistown,
sprainind an ankle in a dispute with j
a line foreman of the Penn Central
Light and. Power Company and was j
awarded compensation. Mr. Leech |
says: "The conclusion by the referee I
that at the time of the accident the !
employe was in the course of his em- j
ployment is, however, involved in his |
award, and there may be some doubt j
as to whether this conclusion of fact, i
or law and fact is fully justified by the j
circumstances of the case. It is rea- |
sofaably clear thatthe accident and
resultant injury occurred before the j
claimant was discharged and had left !
the employment in which he had been 1
engaged for the defendant company, j
since immediately before he fell off j
the wagon it appears he was handling
tools and materials belonging to the
defendant company, which we think j
is sufficient to sustain the finding j
that at that time he was in the course j
of his employment. True, not every I
injury which results from a quarrel i
between employes can be said to have [
occurred in the course of their em- i
ployment, as frequently by the per- j
sonal nature of the quarrel, the par- |
ties take themselves out of the course '
of employment, but in this case the |
dispute seems to have been about the ,
method in which the work was done I
by the claimant. The other question j
raised by the. defendant is that the I
injury was caused by an act of a third ;
person intended to injure the claimant !
because of reasons personal to him and
not directed against him as an em- |
plo.ve or because of his employment. '
"The conclusion of the referee as- j
sumes that the action of the foreman J
which seems to have resulted in the |
injury, grew out of the employment j
itself and was prompted by his rela- I
tion and connection with the work \
and that of the claiment with the j
work, and not on account of an inde-!
pendent and purely personal motive I
or reason entertained by the foreman!
against the claimant. Doubtless there |
was a personal element in the anger j
which he exhibited at the time of the
accident, but it can hardly be con
tended that the claimant would have
suffered the injury he did suffer had
not the particular disagreement arisen '
about the work in the course of the i
employment."

EGOLESS COOKING
St. Louis Housewives Atcl Boycott and i
Save Money
St. Louis. Mo., Dec. 15.—1n these i
history-making days of the egg boy
cott, the woman who compiles eggless !
cooking recipes is second in import-•
ance only to the housewife who re
fuses to encourage the high cost of I
living by buying eggs.
Miss Efale Brown, head of the
domestic science department at the 1
Voting Women's Christian Association '
eavs the cook who says she can't cook i
and bake without the use of eggs
knows little of the science of cookery
"There are eggless dishes for prnc- I
tically every course on the menu. To-!
day my class of fashionable matrons
learned to make several appetizing
salad dressings," she declared. I
"It is very simple. You just cook'
together two teaspoonfuls of butter'
and three tablespoonfuls of flour. \dd !
a cup of sweet cream and let the mix- ;
Hire boil five minutes, stirring all the
time. Remove from fire and stir in!
one-lialf cup of sour cream, the iuice
of a lemon, a little salt and sugar to!
taste. Allow the dressing to get I
cold.
"It is a splendid substitute for egg
and oil mayonnaise and is particularly '
good with fruit salad. j
"For the holidays, nothing is morel
appropriate in these days when every!
housewife is endeavoring to reduce
the high cost of living than this egg-'
less, milkless, butterless cake with
eggless. white mountain icing:
"A—For the cake, take one cup of!
brown sugar, one cup of water, two!
cups of seeded raisins, one-third cup i
of lard, one teaspoonful of ground
cinnamon, one teaspoonful of ground '
cloves, a little nutmeg and a pinch I
of salt.
"B—Two cups of flour, one-half
■tablespoonful of baking powder and
one teaspoonful of baking soda. Sift!
flour twice before measuring.
"Boil the ingredients under 'A' in
a. saucepan for three minutes and let!
cool. Then stir in the ingredients un
der 'B.' Bake in a loaf in a moderately j
slow oven until it begins to draw from j
the sides of pan."
