 ATTACKED BY APACHE

Paris, July 15.-tSpecial)-A hatp'n proved useful weapon to a young En- glsh woman in Paris, who was able, with it's aid to put to flight a highway rob Der. She had been visiting friends at Passy. and was driving home in cab about midnight, when 2 man standing on the sidewalk near the Place de l. ttoile made sign to the cabman to stop. The cabman believing that the man was &C., auainted with the lady, drew up an" waited for him to approach. The strange individual was an impudent apache who asked the occupant of the cab to hand him her purse. Fortunately the lady III the cab did not lose her sef-possession, and before the apache realized what she was about she had put her hand to her hat, drawn out a hatpin, and buried 1t in his arm.
 "Let that be lesson to vou," she said The man yelled with pain and the cab man whipped up his horse and drove away, leaving the apache nursing his wounded arm and cursing fluently.

the relief plan from the economic stand point of the workman is the clause which provides that whenever the persons entitled to receive any lump sum so con- sent, the relief will be paid to a savings bank or trust company to be held at in- terest and paid over to the persons en- titled to 1t in such installments as may be agreed upon. Thisi is earnestly recom- mended in all cases
 Under a voluntary plan it is of course impossible for a relief department to re- quire people to accept payment by in stallment, but in many cases the desira- bity of so doing is apparent lest the benefit be quickly dissipated. The steel corporation thus goes out of its way to encourage such trust funds.

imitation of relief for nonresident ram flies has involved some complications.
 The steel corporation has co-operated with the consuls of foreign countries very fully, in identifying the families of de ceased worlSmen, and it's practice has been to award benefits of about two- thirds the amount awarded resident fam flies in similar circumstances. in the be- lief that such a proportion represents the difference In purchasing power of money here and abroad The new paragraphs define more clearly the general line Of policy laid down by the finance commit- tee in these matters, but still leave the decision to the discretion of company managers. a The practice in dealing with cases of permanent total disablement is stated specifically in a new clause:
 For permanent total disablement, such amount as may be required In the judg- ment of the manager to make suitable provision for the injured man, but in no case less than the death relief for such a man. Loss of both hands. feet, or eyes. or of any two of these members, shah be classed as permanent total disable ment.
 For the Death in Life
 In the case of such permanent disable ment, the fact that the injured man stili lives often puts the family in more precarious situation than if he had been killed outright; and it Is in appreciation of this situation that the death relief is made the minimum for such cases.

 It has exceptional facilities for this purpose and can always command the latest experience of the world in it's field. One of it's aims is. by the study of this experience, to prevent the mistake and waste of effort which often result from hastily and carelessly drafted laws.
 While in daily communication with state commissions, universities, trade un- ions, manufacturers. legisla tors and oth- CTS, and while furnishing through It's pup lications and correspondence up-to-date information on the whole field of labor legislation, the association nevertheless endeavors in it's active legislative work to concentrate it's immediate campaign upon a few definite problems It's present pro- gramme includes:
 1. Prohibition of poisonous phosphorus in the manufacture of matches.
 2 Investigation of occupational diseases.
 B. Reporting of industrial accidents and diseases.
 4, Workmens compensation for indus- trial injuries and,
 ,. Enforcement of labor laws
 In each instance definite results have already been accomplished. but, through the cooperation of state associations in intimate touch with local needs, still greater progress can be made

The text of the Steel corporation plan was published in full in The Age Herald June 9. It has been determined to renew this plan for another years trial.
 Certain changes just announced by the finance committee of the Steel Cor pdration are made in the direction Of greater liberalty and of more specific definition as to the amount of Telief in given classes of cases.
 For instance, where, under the plan in operation last year, the maximum daily relief for married men living with their families, and temporarily injured, was S2 per day. 1t is now increased to S2 50 per day. It is now specifically stated that where it is shown to the satisfaction of the manager that single men contribute regularly to the support of actual de- pendents, the manager shall have author ity to fix the amount of relief within the limits of relief for married men, and also that married men not living with their families shall be classed as single men. These two provisions taken together. therefore, establish the status of cases of immigrant worlSmen who leave widows and orphans resident abroad.

DAY Of special music and the church
was filled, he was led to seat far in
the front Of the edifce.
From the row of people in front of
his he picked out at once the girl who
was wearing vtolets. He smelled them
Grst, and they seemed like whiff of
his boyhood, so fresh and sweet they
were. He could see an upward wave
OF golden hair disappearing under the
wide brim of gray hat trimmed with
some soft gray stuff in which was
tucked a pink rose. The trim tailor
made gown was Of gray, and he had a
glimpse Of a soft gray little glove turn
ing the leaves of prayer book.
''She is as small and gray as Miss
Flittermouse," thought Ransom, with
a little whimsical smile at his own
conceit in comparing this daughter Of
fully past his house every night. No
one but a working girl could keep such
regular hours, he concluded.
All at once very awkward thing
happened. Somebody entered the pew
where Ransom sat, and as the young
man bent down to pick up his hat and
move farther along in the seat the
brim of the gray hat in front suddenly
bobbed back and, twitching his eye
glasses off his nose, sent them hurtling
upward, to fall with an ominous tin
king sound in the bookrack of her own
pew.
It was not until the service was con-
cluded and he was rising to go out
that he recollected the glasses At the
same instant the girl turned and gave
them to him with courteous little in,
clination Of the head
Thank yOu," murmured Ransom.
And then he saw that the man who
had entered the pew and was really
the author Of his lucky incident was
none other than the senior member of
the firm with whom he was reading

Mr.. Laid!aw bowed geniary, and

some one.

car lines were at standstill owing to

miles which marked the distance be-

WILL AID RATE CASE APPEAL
Committee Of Railroad Commissioners
From Seven States Decide to
Assist Minnesota.

Briefs in argument of the appeal OF
the Minnesota rate case decision are
to be prepared by committee of rail-
road commissioners chosen at the con-
vention at Omaha of commissioners
from seven states.
These will be presented to the SUI
preme court when the appeal from
Judge Sanborn's decision is argued.
Officials of the state railroad CON-
missions attended from Oklahoma,
Kansas, Iowa, Wisconsin, South
Dakota, Nebraska and New Jersey.
The decision to fight the case was
unanimous.
The members of the state railroad
commissions and the state physical
valuation engineers, in conference,
adopted the report of commit
tee on permanent organization and
thereby completed the initial steps in
the formation of a national body to in
clude these two groups of officials.
The new body will be largely taken
from the Mississippi Valley states, al
though New Jersey is one of the
states to be represented.
The report states that the associa-
ton is to be formed for the purpose of
mutual benefit and exchange of infor-
nation, more specifically to bring
about uniform methods of physical
valuation and of accounting. No po-
litical significance is hinted at.

Ransom Holbrook called her that, for
he had never seen her except at twl-

forth to wheel in and out Of the glare
of the arc light on the corner. From
his window he would watch the flying
bats, now plainly discernible in the

She came around the corner into the
light, a swift moving gray little hg-

the tall shadow cast by his house. Be-
yond his house she seemed to melt into
the gray shadows that interviewed be-
tween his own arc light and the next
one two blocks away.

you come from and whittier you are
