Washington to Gettysburg.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Certainly no plan could possibly be
devised to celebrate and prolong Lin
coins memory that would be so appro-
pirate and do so much good to present
and future generations as the Construc-
tiOn of a highway, bearing his name,
from Washington to Gettysburg-onc the
place of his chief labors in saving this
country in it's hour of need. the other
where he delivered perhaps the finest
GRAFTON ever uttered by mana gem OF

Lincoln way would increase in interest.

AN AUTO POEM.

Out upon the highway the auto
speeds along.
The hours pass 50 happily with
merry jest and song:
On long. smooth stretches of the

Louisiana Rice Growing.

Henri l.. Gueydan. of Crowley. La.
manager OF the Rice Association OF
America. who was seen at the New E.b-
hltt. said: Rice growing has become
one of the important features in the de-
vclopment of the South. The industry is
expanding every year. and already has
added several million dollars to the
wealth of our locality. Its development
would be more rapid. however, if the
value Of rice were better understood in
the households throughout the other
States.
The nations wealth in corn has been
mentioned frequently, but rice forms tho
principal food Of one-half the popuIa-
tOn of the earth, and it can dispute the
supremacy of corn and wheat combined.
The rice industry in the United States,
and especially in the Gulf coast country,
is destined to grow. because the con-
sumption of rice in this country is on
the increase. There is big field for a
much greater growth. and land that is
available for raising rice Will he reclaim
ed and put under cultivation as the con-
of the cereal increases.
Rice is the cheapest and at the same
time the most nourishing and most easily
digested of all foods" continued Mr..
Gueydan. IF the American housewife
could be taught how to boil rice properly
so that each grain would stand out sepa-
rately. the United States would consume
four or 1--WE times It's present crop. The
great trouble with the average cook Is
that she stirs the rice while it is boiling.
and this action causes it to gum up and
come out as an unpalatabe paste. which
is truly unfit to eat. The alI-important
point is how to boil rice"

EmpIoyers' Liability in England.

hmpiOyerS L1ab1I1ty IN England.
England a few years ago passed an en-
ployers' liability act such as no other
country has dared to enact or enforce,
according TO Sidney S. Beckham, of Lon
don and New York. an insurance broker
who transacts business everywhere. and
who was seen at the New Willard.
This law practically requires that COM
pensation shall be conceded at once ire
spectlve of the question OF contributory
negligence; while the employer cannot
take refuge in the feIlow-servant' clause
which IS so constantly an instrument OF
injustice under our present form OF en-
forcing the law. These drastic enact
ments. moreover. apply to all employees.
including even domestic servants. The
maximum liability is limited to s1.5OO.
with corresponding weekly compensation
for temporary or permanent disablement
with remarkable common sense. the
British people have adapted their busi-
ness to this condition. Everybody insures
all his employees, and the insurance works
out at an annual charge OF shilIings s
pence a head A household of four do
mestic servants can be insured against
death or disablement for an annual
charge of $50. The business Of the acci-
dent insurance companies has been enor-
mously stimulated
NO doubt insurance would not be as
cheap in America as it is in England,
but there is the germ of an idea in the
Wisconsin law. and every State legisla-
ture should give the matter thoughtful
and friendly consideration"
