■■BßMSEimßiv den of proof In
showing that the woman's husband
was killed while engaged in inter
state commerce. The Board has
given a number of decisions In which
appeals by railroads on the ground
of Interstate commerce work were
sustained, but in this case it is held
that the proof is not clear that the
man, who was a watchman, was at
the time of the accident actually en
gaged in directing or protecting in
terstate truffle. In other railroad
r:ises decided it is held that the men
who were engaged in interstate com
merce and awards are set aside.
In the case of Helen Gorence,
Playtonia, vs. F. A. MiSner Coal Co.,
Erie, the Board sets forth its opin
ion in regard to awards to depend
ent children. It is held that the
controlling thought is the fact that
the Legislature directly provides for
compensation for dependent children
until they reach that age when they
can legally workf"
A ruling in regard to compensa
tion agreements is made in Eugene
J. Brady, vs. Lehigh Valley Coal
Co., in which it is set forth that the
act "contemplates that the employe's
compensation shall be based upon
his wages at the time of his acci
dent and that if .an employe, pre
vious to his accident had been pro-
noted or had been chanced to n dif
ferent form of employment at higher
.'•ages that fact constitutes- a new
contract and his compensation Is to
lie based upon that rate for as long
us he has been in the employ of the
same employer at that particular
occupation."

Women Kick on Telling
Their Age to Register
Sunbury, Pa. v Nov. 23.—"N0. 1
won't' register, because I don't want
to tell my age." declared a Sunbury
woman when asked why she did not
register her name, age and what she
is best fitted to do, yesterday.
The matter of telling her age Is
probably the reason why the num
ber registered in Sunbury was so
small. In the two days of the regis
trations, less than 500 women signed
their names to the roll. Mrs. Eliza
beth Groom, aged 78, was the first
to register.

GIRL BEATEN IN
ROAD NEAR HOME
"Twisted Thread" Organiza
tion Has Red Lion Borough
Hunting For Miscreants
York, Pa., Nov. 23.'—Residents of
Red Lion, a suburban borough, are
greatly perturbed over the existence
of an organization styling Itself "The
Twisted Thread", whose members
have been sending threatening let
ters to schoolgirls, and last Sunday
night somebody struck down Miss
Ktbecca Hess a 13-year-old girl, with
a blunt Instrument, while on her way
home from church. According to the
story of the girl, she was attacked
near her home at 9 o'clock and after
Lcing: knocked unconscious. was
dragged into an outhouse at the rear
of a vacant house and left there.
The girl suffered no violence, and it
is thought her assailant was fright
ened away, thinking he had killed
the girl.
Letters were received by Miss Hess
on several occasions, warning her ot
the impending attack, and she has
also received several since then. Oth
ers In the borough have received
these mysterious missives, which are
usually thrown on the doorstep.
Among the most recent to get one
was a small son of Assistant Post
master C. E. Schmuck, threatening
the boy with bodily harm. A favor
ite threat is to warn against a cer
tain day when the victim is to meet
death.
Although the borough authorities
are offering a SIOO reward for the
apprehension of the guilty parties,
the police have as yet been unsuc
cessful In their efforts to capture
and break up the "Twisted Thread"
organization.

Study your face in the mirror. If
you lack the ruddy glow of health and
the physicical vigor that is yours by

to correct the trouble.
