VALUE OF FINGERS.
What the Various Countries of Eu-
rope Allow For Their Loss

The different fingers are far from
having the same value in the eyes of
the law with reference To their func-
tional utilization. Much the most inn
portant is the thumb. for without il
prehensiou would be very imperfect.
The hand is no longer pinchers. but
merely claw, when deprived OF the
thumb. 1t may be estimated that the
thumb represents fully a third of the
total value of the hand. The French
courts allow - TO 50 per cent value
for the right hand and 10 to 10 for
the LEFT. The Austrian schedule gives
from - per cent for the left 10 % per
cent for the right. In Germany 20
and IS per cent and even as high as
1873 per cent has been awarded The
percentage is based on 100 as the total
industrial value OF the hand previous
to the accident loss of 80 per cent
representing half of the value. etc
The total loss of the index finger
causes an incapacity estimated at 10
TO 10 per cent in Austria. Is TO 70 per
cent in Germany. - per cent for the
left and 20 per cent for the right by
Italian courts. The French allow 10
per cent.
The middle finger is OF much more
Importance than the index. states DR..
Meiguan. whom we are citing and who
is no small authority for a great loss
of force is observed in the hand when
the finger is amputatef Yet almost
all the authorities ascribe less iulpor-
lance to it than the index. The Italian
law allows per cent. the Austrian 5
to 10 per cent.
The ring finger is the least important
Its total loss often does not cause in
capacity. The Austrian tariff aSsimi-
lateS this finger to the middle one. The
Italian law IS liberal, with per cent.
The French and German tribunals of
ten refuse indemnity. considering the
incapacity resulting from the loss as
very slight.
The little finger may be compared tc
the ring, except in the professions in
which 1t serves as a point of support
for the hand. 1t may be remarked here
that the artist has not been taken into
consideration in these cases-Philadel-

Richardson, of Portland, said when
the Portland Commercial Club was
organizing the State Development

towns wanted to know why we we're

replied we want you to get dollar
so we can take seventy-tive cents away

he added, completely won the people
of the interior towns. Thomas might
have gone farther and told his hearers
that Portland would not offer any
serious objections to taking the
remaining twenty-five cents-as, for
instance, when it paid a bonus to
secure woolen mill bought with
$4,000 hard-earned Dallas dollars. It
is true that Dallas long ago recovered

The State Board of Education has
approved the plan to allow the school
children of Oregon to help raise a
fund OF 100000 needed by Commander
Peary in his forthcoming expedition
in search Of the North Pole. A letter
Of appeal is being mailed out to the
schools, asking that May % be desig-
mated as "Peary Day" and that the
children be invited to contribute their
mites on that day. The scheme is all
wrong, and it is to be hoped that the
school children of Dallas will not give
a single penny toward the fund. If
the Rockefellers and Morgans have
tired of Peary and his visionary
schemes, and will no longer furnish
financial backing for his worse than
useless ventures to the land of snow
and ice, there is no reason why the
children of industrious, working peo-
pie should be called upon to contribute
their humble mites to help carry on
an exploration that would never prove
of any practical benefit to mankind,
even should its object be finally
accomplished. The OBSERVER hopes
the children of Polk county will not
give penny to this fund.
