WALKING FOUR MILES AN HOUR.
Most Persons Think IT Is Easy, but
Trial Proves Otherwise.

There is nothing that the average
person believes more implicitly than
that he can walk four miles in all
hour easily. Almost any one win
say: I'VE were out walking for an
hour and half today. Let me see
four miles an hour; that makes six
miles we went" And he is con-
WINGED that is the ground his party
covered
That same average person has only
to try to walk four miles in sixty
minutes to discover that it is go4l
stiff going. There are many more
folks who cover three miles in the
time. when they think they are go.
ing at the rate of mile better, than
there are who actually know the pace
they are making.
1t is an easy thing to determine.
For instance, one man noted the time
on his watch when he started and
swung along at a. gait that he fond.
~ believed was a mile in ten minutes,
That, for instance, would be about
one-half the speed that the average
mile runner would make when he
was fairly new to the game, but ne
would have to train for time to do
that, says the Boston Herald.
The walker didn't take out his
watch until he had reached the end
of his first mile. Then he looked. 1t
was fifteen minutes almost to the sec
ond when he e11ei that mile.
This was ii;tt.le of shock. espe.
cially as there were only a couple of
crosswalks in the way and there was
a nice stretch of gravel path along
side the payements on which to walk.
But he started off again for the sec.
ond time. This time he walked stead
lily. using his hips, and eventually got
'striding at a clip that convinced him
he was going at least four minutes
better than the other mile. The In.
exorable watch showed fourteen mh,-
utes for the second mile.

LIABILITY COMMISSION
WILL BE WATCHED
Meeting at Seattle Thursday of Great Importance to
Those Who Engage in Dangerous Occupations.

History should be made at Sc
attle next Thursday, when the full
committee of the Employers Com
pensation commission meets to
consider the tentative liability law
drawn up in Tacoma by the COM
mittee appointed for that purpose.
The meeting will be held at
1011 White building at 10:30
a. m.
Very few people realize the vast
significance of the proposed lia-
bility law, and every working man
and woman will some time or 9TH
er have cause to thank or con-
denim the efforts of the men in
whose keeping have virtually been
placed the welfare of thousands
who will be affected by the law.
The idea of the liability law is
to provide for payment of money
to the person who may sustain in
jury while working, as result of
improper care taken by his en-
ployer. The liability law will
also provide for those dependant
upon anyone killed while working.
In short, the proposed law-will de-
termine just what mans life or
labor efforts are worth to those
dependent upon him. 1t is under
stood that the bill which will be
submitted for consideration Thurs
day provides for every possible
contingency and bases liability
