| Bight Hand Ruling—The Pennsyl
| vanla State Compensation Board
j has awarded compensation in Evey
| vs. Sheldon Axle and Spring Works,
I Willces-Barre, in an unusual case,
j The employe fell while working in
i the plant and injured his right arm.
' He is a right-handed man and when
jhe returned to work was able to
i earn the same or higher wages by
the use of his left hand, the right
I being of little or no aid In porform
| ance of duties. The board holds that
I he has in fact lost use of his right
hand. The board has upheld the
referee and dismissed an appeal in
Cutharino Howard vs. S. S. Kresge
Company, Wilkes-Barre, in which It
is held that claims of death result
ing from tuberculosis alleged to
have been superinduced by a blow
"must be established by convincing
testimony."

the red squirrel because of his de
structiveness and making him legiti
mate game at all times, and a'jo to
advance the opening of the black
bird season for the same reason.
These two projects have been much
heard of since last summer when
farmers complained of the annoy
ance caused by the squirrels which
raided corn and other fields and
the numerous protests against the
blackcoats which came from farm
ers whose oats and other fields were
raided and people In towns who
were pestered by largo flocks of
blackbirds.
Support was also given to a move
ment for an Increase of the force of

above *l5O a month.

Protect River Front—One of the
largest grade crossing abolition
propositions to reach the State Pub
lic Service Commission in many
months and which also illustrates
the manner in which the smaller
•municipalities are moving to safe
guard their river fronts has come

I dozen or more grade crossings on the

Need More Politics,
Says Chairman Hays
I New York, Dec. 23.—1n Issuing his
call for a lovefeast meeting of the
' Republican National Committee,
[chairman Will H. Hays says:
"What wc need in this country is
not 'less politics,' but more attention
to politics. If the citizens of the
counry perform a citizen's duty and
'interest themselves sufficiently In the
| politics of the nation, the right prin- I
| cipies will be practiced and able and I
! conbeientious candidates elected. I
{ "It seems passing strange, Indeed,
\ that it should be necessary to urge
[ men in this country to exercise the
| full privilege of real liberty. Yet
such is the case,- because they
| imagine they are either too busy or
too good to take part in politics. I
have no use for the man who is eith
er 'too busy' ,or 'too proud' to Interest
himself In politics. H is riding an
another's ticket. *
"What I urge above all things else
is the fullest jprtlclpatlon of our
splendid citizenship In the actual
j politics of the country. Let this be so
: and any evils that may exist or which
I may hereafter arise, will be
| lived, indeed."
