It Took the Genius of Dickens
to Describe a Chop
This was necessary because the peo
ple could not see the said chop. It
must be very aggravating to have one's
mouth all ready and then realize that
they cannot taste, touch nor handle.
How would you like to visit a place
where you could do all these things,
and more, to a plate of steaming hot
roast beef, garnished with potatoes
light as mountain dew, covered over
with brown gravy—regular brown
gravy —then follow up with a piece of
apple pie and the best of coffee, at a
price so low it would look like a typo
graphical error to put it in print?
Dickens never saw The Cafeteria, a
place to eat, or he would be describing
yet. You have that chance.

INCOME BETTER
THAN MORTGAGE
Compensation Board Makes
Unusual Decision in Car
ing For a Widow
The State Com-
L\ \ t //J pensatlon Board
Chairman Harry
ST |CBBHCBKJ refused to make a
FpßffHaSift' rommuta " on ° f
the beneficiary, a widow and a crip
ple, would not be better off with a
lump sum than otherwise. An
award of compensation was made
which is commuted would approxi
mate $1,900. The widow wishes to
buy a property worth $3,500, be
lieving that if she could do so she
could take roomers and Improve her
condition.
"With all her compensation thus
Invested, she would own a property
heavily encumbered with her only
source of Income, namely her week
ly compensation, exhausted," says
the decision. "Her hopeful expecta
tions as to a successful business
HIBraBBTRO iMnl 'I'UIUJKXre
might result In a disappointment
and then she -would be in a very
helpless condition, owning a mort
gaged property with no income. We
fall to see any ftason why we should
exercise the discretion vested in us
by the law to grant this petition. We
feel that we would be risking the
widow's money in a hazarduous un
dertaking and at best her condition
would be worse rather than better."
In Clydesdale vs. Hay worth &
Dowhurst, Pittsburgh, It Is held that
the accident suffered by the claim
ant Is not the cause of present
disability, but that the "alleged In
ability to work Is largely due to his
own attitude." It is suggested that
some light work to keep the man
from brooding should be undertaken.
It Is suggested In PI Biase vs.
Baldwin Locomotive Works that
every effort be made to see that
compensation reaches tho depend
ents In Italy and that under the cir
cumstances a power of attorney
might be Ignored and money sent
through the consular set-vice.

Governor Sprout was the chief
speaker when Pittsburgh dedicated
the United States Bureau of Mines
group of buildings in the Bast Bud
district. Governor Sproul touched
on the question of housing. He said
he would make certain recommenda
tions to the next Legislature which
may be considered radical but which
he believed would be most effective
in giving workers more sanitary
places to live in. "The State can
compel action in this direction,' he
said, "but we would rather have your
co-operation."
State Highway Commissioner Sad
ler has served official notice on Glenn
W. Sigsbee, residing in Chapman
township, Clinton county, to vacate
his home and remove the building
within fifteen days, on penalty o' be
ing ejected by the State officials and
having the house razed. Slgsbee's
home is directly in the pathway of
Route No. 105, in Chapman town

way Department's engineers. This is
the road which is a part of the pro
posed new highway between Renovo

pensation of employes and in
awarding contracts must be ap
proved by the Governor under an
