STEELTON CASE
DECISION GIVEN
Compensation Board Lays
Down Principle Regarding
Compensation Amendments
The State Compensation Board in
a decision by Commissioner James
W. Leech in the claim of Torok vs.
Bethlehem Steel Company, a Steel
ton case, holds that the board "has
authority to permit an amended
claim petition' to be tiled when, in its
discretion, the facts warrant such
action," but i(Jso says, "This board
will not entertain dilatory motions
nor be much influenced by techni
calities raised in the pleadings, but
will rather be governed by a desire
to get all of the facts uyon which a
proper judgment may be based." The
board refused to change the action
of Referee Cummings in disallowing
compensation, holding there was no
proof of accidental injury.
The board lias also ruled in Wil
liams vs. Lackawanna Jtailroad that
there can be no compensation for
disability due to miners' asthma be
cause it is an occupational disease,
while in allowing compensation in
the case of Schatzle vs. Val
ley Railroad, it is declared "the de
fense of interstate commerce offered
by defendants for the purpose of
denying compensation to the depend
ants of men killed* in occupation
mus-t be established by substantive
evidence."
In Coetello vs. Penn Iron and
Steel Corporation, Lancaster, State
Insurance Fund, • insurance carrier,
the fund is ordered to resume pay
ments. The man was injured and
given other work than he had done
after he recovered. He claimed the
new work was too severe. The de
fendant is to offer him lighter work.
TO ENTER NEW HOME
With appropriate services the con
gregation of the Central Baptist
Church, will celebrate the occupa
tion of its new church at Second and
Lincoln street?, with a "get to
gether" meeting in the church
Thursday evening. Members of three
Baptists churches in Harrisburg will
attend the meeting.

Preserves, Jams and Jellies
Will Help Win the War
SAVE THE SURPLUS FRUIT
The housewife who puts up plenty
of preserves, jellies and jams this
year is doing a great deal more than
her "bit" for she helps to release
great quantities of needed foodstuffs
for our Allies "over there."
Preserving is by no
f /V[)\ mcans tbo uncertain
/ U' li/i tas k used to be.
! U With the modern
knowledge of steriK
zation and with the
advent of the pure,
refined Parowax, there is no longer
the loss by spoiling that housewives
used to dread.
Cleaning glasses and jars thor
oughly is mighty important, but
it is even mere vital
to be sure that the I
preserve jars are
sealed—especially if r
you are using the
"cold pack" method -
of preserving—and
the jellies are completely covered
with Parowax. In the first place,
Parowax 13 pure, highly refined,
clean and sanitary. Then, Parowa::
is economical. Yonr grocer sells and
recommends Parowax. If he has
none in stock, ho will gladly get It
for you.
