WORKING DAY Is
SIXTH OF A WEEK
Accident Board Enlightens EN-
ployers Confused on Point
in Relation to Liability

LANSING, Mich. Jan. 7.-(Speclal.)
In the matter OF making settlements
with injured employees whore the
period OF disability includeh a frac
tional part OF a week. the Industrial
accident board has been frequently
asked as to whether the odd days are
to be computed on the basis OF Skins
OF a week or seventies OF a week. II
is argued that In certain classes oil
employment where men are required
TO work on Sunday, that In computing
the compensation for a fractional part
OF a week each day should be counted
as one-seventh OF a week.
In discussing this point the commits,
sion says: The law fixes as unil
for the computation and payment OF
compensation the average weekly
wage OF the employe, and defines WIZ
considerable detail the method or de
termining the average weekly wage
IL is apparnt that the legislative Intent
IN framing the compensation law was
tc establish a general basis for com
putting compensation OF injured EN-
ployes by class and rather than by In
dlvidual cases. and thereby approx
mating the compensation for persons
OF given class instead OF following
out and infinitely determining the &C
count in each particular case.
For example, the compensation
cannot exceed $40 a week in any case
and In no case can II be less than s
per week The law recognizes com
mon experience in fixing 800 days the
number Of working days In year FOL
the average employe.
II might further be said to be 6
matter OF common knowledge thai
comparatively few employees actuall,
work more than 800 days per year
even though they may work Sundays
Il is the opinion OF this board that II
contemplation OF the law the compen
sation Is TO be computed on basis o.
six working days constituting a week
and In ease-of fractional parts of 4
week each day should be counted a.

SAYS SPEED LIMIT
WOULD Be HANDICAP
Means Ruin of Efficiency of Fly
ing Squadron, Police
Head Declares

Police Commissioner Croul says that
! II all police vehicles are forbidden to
travel at a higher rate OF speed than
Is miles an hour, as Is threatened by
the ruling by Judge Connolly. Monday,
such a ruling would ruin the efficiency
OF the flying squadron. and the police
autos used as ambulances and for
other emergencies. Commissioner
Croul. speaking from his experience
as former IRE commissioner. adds that
the order, If extended 10 the fire de-
partment vehicles, as threatened,
would also hamper the efficiency OF the
fire fighters.
Fast work Is the greatest factor In
police and fire department efficiency"
said the commissioner Our men
have orders 10 drive carefully. Acct
dents are very few and far between.
in fact, much less frequent than when
we had the slower but less easily con-
trolled horse patrols.
las TO wagons speeding when going
after a drunk, or on routine business,
that is forbidden by this department.
A patrolman calling for the wagon, is
supposed to specify what IL is for.
But in responding TO accident calls,
burglar calls. reports OF shootings, or
other such things where life and prop
erty are In danger. unless prompt at
tention Is given, the 15-mile speed
limit would work big hardship. and
would ruin the efficiency OF what we
regard as a splendid patrol system"
II Judge Connolly decides that the
ordinance governing speed applies 10
police and fire autos as we'll as to
private vehicles. il is almost certain
that a special ordinance will be asked
fer, and probably passed. giving the
police and fire machines special rights

WELCOMED A KICKING.
Odd Incident That Proved the Popu-

In MY Autobiography" Nine. Ju.
dith, the great French actress, writes
of Alexander Dumas the elder:
"This giant of II mulatto. with his
big, black, mocking eyes, his wide nos
trils, thick lips, heavy chin, his crisply
curling hair aud his forehead with its
strange bumps, like that of some un
ruly child who Is always fighting with
his comrades, was truly a representa-
tive personage, a type rejecting all the
passion of the romantlcists. There
would have been something wanting to
his time If this grandson Of negress
had not been seen striding along the
Partisan boulevards, If his laugh had
not been heard on the terraces of the
cafes or If lie had not appeared playing
his part with naive self satisfaction in
official ceremonies and at the Tuileries
ball, or walking about behind the
scenes ut the theater with his arm
around the waist of some actress, or
eating and drinking enough for four In
the merry Suppers at which authors
and artists used to meet.
His popularity was simply unequal

time Of n singular wager made by

in some public garden with friend,
he suddenly said to him: DO you see

bet you 100 sous that IL kick him, no
matter whore, instead of flying into a
mge he will make me polite bow
"The bet was taken, and Merry, creep
ing stenIthily up behind NJ. Prud-
hommc. gave him tremendous kick In
