Go to Jerusalem to ‘Die.
‘That Jewish immigrants have so
well adapted themselves to local con-
ditions in Jerusalem as to “practically
monopolize a greater part of such
trade as exists” is stated in a consular
report on Jerusalem. It is impossible
to give an exact estimate of the popu-
lation of Jerusalem, and although it is
believed that it’ figures at 110,000,
95,000 might perhaps be a.more cor-
rect estimate. It is, roughly speak-
ing, eomposed of 13,000 Christians,
12,000 Mohammedans and 70,0 Jews,
many of whom are immigrants from
Russia. :
It is remarked that in spite of the
emigration of many Jews to escape
military service there has still been
a marked increase in this section of
the population on account of the con-
tinuous influx of aged Jews, who come
with the intention of ending their days
in Palestine.

At a dinner in Tonopah Senator
Key Pittman, apropos of a rash elope-
ment on the part of two young con-
stituents, shook his head and said:
“Love laughs at locksmiths. And
later on, alas, my young friends will
find the wolf doing the same thing.”

known and antiquated rules of law,
(1) If the workman has been injured
by the act of a fellow workman he
cannot recover anything from his em-
ployer. (2) If the cause of injury
could not have been foreseen by his
employer and prevented, it is said to
be one of the ordinary risks of em-
ployment which the workman has
assumed himself, and for this reason
he can recover nothing. This rule
is applied largely where the injury
was caused by defective tools, un-
guarded machinery or Hangerous
places of employment, of which the
workman knew when he took the
job. (3) And finally no matter how
negligent the employer may have
been, if the workman has in any way
jury by his own negligence, he can
recover nothing.
Lawyers Get Big Fees.
If his claim is not barred bv one
of thede three rules and he can get
a verdict from the jury, he is then
obliged to divide his compensation
with his lawyer. It is estimated that

Association Representing All Denomi-
nations Urge Concentration of Anti-
Penrose Strength on Gifford . Pin-
chot.
Since the indorsement of Gifford
Pinchot by a state-wide non-partisan
convention of local option and social
workers at Harrisburg recently, the
sentiment that the Progressive nomi-
nee is the one candidate who can de-
feat Penrose and his system in Penn-
sylvania has spread all over the state.
Additional evidence of the strong
hold that the Pinchot candidacy has
taken among voters who regard the
defeat of Penrose as the important is-
sue of the campaign comes from
Centre county in the following mes-
sage:
“Bellefonte, Pa., Oct. 7.
“Resolved, by the Ministerial Asso-
ciation of Centre county, representing
all the Christian denominations of the
county, that in view of the political
situation, present and prospective, in
the state of Pennsylvania, in order
to effect the elimination of Boies Pen-
rose and Penroseism, the wise and
right thing for Mr. Palmer to do at
this juncture is to withdraw from his
candidacy for United States Senator
in favor of Mr. Pinchot.” -

mously adopted in session today.

It was to do away with this anti-
quated system, which is now recog-
nized as unjust to the working class,
that a strenuous effort was made in
the last legislature to pass a modern
workmen’s compensation bill. As is
now so well known, this bill was
killed in the upper house under the
leadership of Senator Crow and the
Penrose-Republican organization. Sen-
ator Crow is now the campaign mana-
ger of both Penrose and Brumbaugh.
Had this bill become law these
100,000 injured workmen and the fam-
ilies of these 3,656 who were killed,
would today be receiving regular
monthly compensation as surely and
automatically as ‘our war veterans
receive their monthly pensions from
the United States government.

Under this law any workman injured
at his work would receive compensa-
tion, unless he had deliberately in-
jured himself. It is only just that the
cost of such accidents should be
borne primarily by the employer, and
ultimately by the consuming public
at large, as part of the cost of pro-
duction, instead of throwing the en-
tire burden upon the workman and
his family.” Moreover, it was pro-
vided that employers could insure
themselves against all such claims at
a cost of 1 to 2 per cent of their
payrolls. This cost would be figured
in by each employer in fixing the
price of his production, just as fire
insurance on his plant is now figured,
and would have meant no hardship to
him. :
Not an Experiment.
While workmen’s compensation is
modern, it is no experiment. It is to-
day in force generally on the con-
tinent of Europe, in England and her
colonies, as well as 22 of our own
States, including all the great indus-
trial States, except Pennsylvania.
Perhaps the best argument is
PALMER A STUMBLING.
BLOCK IN THE BIG
HOUSE CLEANING
a
The demand for Palmer's retirement
from the field is widespread, earnest,
emphatic, insistent. His refusal to
resign will alienate the sympathy of
thousands of Democrats who believe
that a united front should be present-
ed by the Washington and Democratic
parties against the Republican candi-
dates and machine. If Mr. Palmer
continues to refuse the demand of the
anti-Penrose people of the State that
he resign in favor of Pinchot, his can-
didacy becomes hampered with an
odium that will cost him a great many
thousand vetes. The people are de-
termined to defeat Penrose, and Dr.
Lewis has shown a high spirit of pa-
triotism in resigning from the ‘Wash-
ington ticket in faver of Vance Mec-
Cormick. The voters will complete
the work of fusion at the general
election by electing Pinchot along
with McCormick, and nothing Mr.
Palmer may do or leave undone can
alter the purpose of the people.
Palmer is weaker than his party.
There is a hopeless split in the ranks
of Democracy throughout the State,
and Palmer will be one of the victims.

only recourse would be a lawsuit ex:

there was evidence that her husband
was killed by an accident which
could not have been forseen and pre-
vented, or as a result of an act of a
fellow employe, or if he had been in
some way negligent himself, her
claim would be dismissed. In any
case she would have to make a half
and half division with her lawyer for
fighting her case.
When workmen and all right-think
ing citizens of Pennsylvania realize
what a dastardly piece of . injustice
has been perpetuated by the Penrose
Republican machine in its control of
the State Senate, they will think a
long while “before voting to return
Penrose to power and to place in of

machine, which, Brumbaugh, himself
says in a published statement it
woud be treachery for him to repu

DR. BRUMBAUGH’S CANDIDACY
At a Republican mass meeting, fol
lodging house;
lowing a meeting of the Republican
State Committee at Pittsburgh last
week addresses were delivered by Dr
Brumbaugh, candidate for Governor,
and United States Senator Penrose,
candidate for re-election. The com
mittee and the candidate, it is stated,
launched a rattling State campaign,
though Senator Penrose’s speech was
much more moss-backed than progres
sive. Candidate Brumbaugh an
nounced that he had “no entangling
alliances of any sort, and that he was
under no promise, no agreement
made or implied.” He doubtless had
reference to Penrose and Republican
machine politics in Pennsylvania. He
did not say that organization Repub
licans laid the Gubernatorial nomina
tion at his feet and that he picked ii
up. He did not say that, in the event
of his election, he would turn a deat
ear to requests made by the men whe
helped to bring him high political
honor. Dr. Brumbaugh is a pleasing
orator. He is also an ardent politi
cian. However, there be those whe
can understand pretty clearly what is

Recognized as Most Valuable Friend
of Surprised Hostess, There Are :
Things te Be Remembered as '
to Care and Operation. }
No wonder the chafing dish is pope
ular. There's magic in it. When ona ’
bas assisted at a chafing dish suppe
formality 1s over forever. Besides
allowing a woman to appear at hes
best and exhibit cooking as a fine arty
the chafing dish will always serve as a
friend in need to the surprised hosk
ess. A word of ‘caution is necessary,
however. Keep the chafing dish cleam.
Under no circumstances place it on a
fabric cover, but use marble, slate,
wood or tile. Keep it away from cur
tains and protect filmy sleeves whilg
working around ths chafing dish. A
piece of slate roofing is convenient te
hold the lamp. Above all, when the
alcohol has burned out, do not put im
a fresh supply until the tray has thor.
oughly cooled off, otherwise you may,
encounter an explosion,
Keep all chafing dish articles and
utensils ready where they can be
reached without trouble. Use an agate
ware utensil. It will heat in a third
of the time required by tin or copper.
Procure a small wire toaster, that
fresh toast may be served with each
chafing dish delicacy and a second al-
cohol lamp to keep one dish hot while
another is in preparation. Do not for
get the various wooden-handled spoons
and mixing forks.
-The most important article on the
larder sheif is prepared beef stock.
A great number of chafing dish
recipes have as their fundamental in-
gredient soup stock. This can be
made excellently andlat short notice
by dissolving a dessertspoonful of con-«
centrated fluid in half a pint of boik
ing water, adding pepper, salt, two or
three drops of extract of celery and
a tiny teaspoonful of onion juice. Be-
sides stock the chafing dish expert has
in her commissary department some
fine East Indian curry powder, caviare,
tomato catchup, anchovy paste, canned
mushrooms, salmon, chicken, sardines,
cheese and all the ordinary season-
ings, including paprika, ;
Bread and butter sandwiches, iced
tea, coffee or chocolate, fruit cake,
pickles and wafers form a foundation
for a lunch to which the addition of
the hot dish prepared in the chafing
dish is the finishing touch. Chafing
dish cookery is really very simple and
anyone may soon learn to stir up de-
licious things with little preparation,
provided one knows something defi.
nite to begin with. It would be weH
to purchase a book of rec pes and be
gin at the beginning.
To make chicken croquettes a never
fatling and universally liked dish, take
the following for six or eight people:
Three cupfuls of chicken chopped
fine, one cupful of bread crumbs and
two eggs well beaten. Roll the
chicken and bread crumbs into small,
pear-shaped balls, dip into beatem
eggs and bread crumbs and fry im
butter in the chafing dish.
Oysters are always acceptable and
appetizing. The easiest way to cook
is to pan them. Heat a tablespoonful
of butter and when it melts add the
Juice of half a lemon and a teaspoon-
ful of chopped parsley and stir in the
drained oysters. Cook only until thete
edges curl and lift out quickly om
strips of buttered toast. Oyster stew
is also easy to prepare in a chafing
dish.
