He is massive and powerful, extraordi-

the utmost determination and ferocity.
In fact, he plays the game to perfec-

Autolsts Consider Proposed Statutes.

AutoIStS OohStoeT PROPOSED otdtutcS.
Proposed laws for regulating the use
of the automobile in Wisconsin came
in for thorough discussion at meet
ing of prominent motorists, held at
Milwaukee.
Harry A. Apple, secretary of the
Wisconsin Retail Dealers association,
acted as chairman, and James T..
Drought was secretary. Before the
meeting ended, a committee of five
was appointed to consider statutes
which will be drawn up by Mr..
Drought, and which the legislature will
be asked to consider. This committee
consists of Russell Jones, Kenosha;
Henry Kimberly, Oshkosh; M. G..
Moore, George A. West and l. c. Hick-
man Of Milwaukee.
The following suggestions were
among the most important recorded:
Signal law, requiring all cars to be
equipped with an abrupt warning sig
nal.
Universal light law, every moving
vehicle being required to carry light
at night.
One registration per year for an
owner.
Imposing severe penalty for automo-
bile thefts, making the maximum pen
atty as severe as now governing the
theft OF horse.
Heavy penalty for those who take a
car for 10Y riding" purposes.
The sense of the meeting was to ask
the state solons TO give an equal pro
lection to motorists and pedestrians.
Those present also stated their conf
dence In the present legislature in en-
acting statutes which would prove of
benefit 10 the state. The recon-
mendations that the committee will
make to the legislature will be thor
oughly studied by the committee be-
fore their passage will be urged, Har-
ry A Apple, chairman of the meeting,
is ex-officio member OF this committee.
1t was learned that the members are
strongly opposed to the wheel tax, the
proposed contributary negligence law,
tax based on horse power or weight
and lower limit on speed.

Insurance Is ttIaher.

Employers OF Wisconsin who do not
sation act were notified by the liability
insurance companies carrying their
policies of decided increase in rates.
The fixing of individual rates just as
fire insurance rates are fixed by a
board of underwriters will be followed
and agents of the allied companies are
at work everywhere securing data as
to the degree of hazard in each factory
and the number of accidents recorded
in the past.
Those who are negligent of the safe
ty OF their employees are facing high
rates, even though they have accepted
the provisions of the law.
These plans were made public by
Loyal Durand, general agent of the
Employers Liability Assurance asso-
citation. He said that the allied liabil-
ity insurance companies operating in
Wisconsin are determined to eliminate
great part of the aVoidable acci'
dents, which now constituted rs per
cent. of the whole.
Mr.. Durand stated that the COM
panies are determined to make tbs
careless employer pay the high rate
for which he is himself responsible.
"Wisconsin's legislature, now in ses-
sion, is certain to pass amendments to
the compensation act recommended by
the governor and the Industrial board"
said Mr.. Durand.
"The first of the amendments takes
operating outside the act, the defense
of contributory negligence on the part
of the employer.
1.-THE second amendment puts the
employer under the act unless he noti-
fies the industrial board that he will
resist its power and provisions.
When the compensation act went
into effect on September /, 1911, it
took away from the employer two de-
lenses in case of accident to employees,
leaving the employer and his attor-
neys the one defense, that Of en-
ploye's own negligence.
"The law is still weak in that it does
not fix certain compensation for the
loss of members of the body, as fin
ger, limb, or eye. but leaves this to
the industrial commission.
Liability insurance rates are much
lower in Massachusetts and New Jer-
sey because the two states have writ
ten into their compensation act pro-
visions for each class of injury and
there is not the additional cost Of ap-
peal. Seventy-five per cent. of the APP
peals now taken to the Wisconsin in
dustrial board are for the purpose of
fixing the amount of compensation.
1.-The two eastern states also have
provisions in their laws providing for
medical care of the injured by the
employers, while here the employee
may combine with an INSCRIPTIONS
doctor and the injured man may re-
main idle while able to work and the
doctor may give attention where 1t is
not needed and the employer must pay
the bills"

SOLDIER BOYS CLOTHES
PLACE KHAkI-UNLAWUL TO
BUY SOLDIERS CLOTHES.

AS the days become shorter and the
everywhere except in the Brownsville
coune4, the boys of Troop NJ of the Four
teenth Cavalry and those of Troop ID of
the Third cavalry, both stationed here,
are beginning to think of fall clothes.
blue uniforms, etc. The light khaki uni
forms are found to be very comfortable
in this section until the latter part of No
vember. but the supplies come from afar
and it will take some time for them to get
here after ordered.
1t will doubtless be news to many peo-
pie outside of army circles. that every
army officer must clothe himself at his
own expense. Every uniform he wears,
shoes, hats. caps and all furnishings must
come out of his own pockets.
With the enlisted men it is different. as
they are allowed seven cents a day during
their period Of service for clothes. On
first entering the service. the enlisted man
is allowed $43.34 to be used in purchasing
his soldier" outfit. This includes two
pairs of trousers. coats. shoes, at least
q half dozen suits of underwear. collars,
shoes. etc. He must waat six months or
more before the next allowance for clothes
amounting L $l3.3f, is made. Daring a
period Of four years he draws sl53.10 for
clothing. StEtM
Though he may pay for them and may
consider these clothes his own. the soldier
is strictly forbidden to sell a single arti-
Gle. whether he has use for it or not. Any
civilian found n possession of clothing
issued to a soldier by the United States
hat. shirt. or other article or wearing APP
parel-is subject to Immediate arrest and
punishment. The penalty is a heavy fine
and a term in the federal penitcntiary.
In other words. the law prohibits the pur-
chase Of army goods by civilians from
merchants.
United States soldiers are not permit
ted to buy uniforms or other clothing, PIX
ccpting shoes, etc, without authority. If
they do not draw all their clothing al
lOwance, the balance is placed TO their
credit. and at the end Of their term Of
enlistment is paid to them in cash. On
the other hand. if they Overdraw they
must pay the difference when they are
discharged from the service.
