DECLINE STATES RISK LAW
Not to Come Under Workmen's
Compensation Act.

Madison. The state industrial COM
mission has received declarations from
about 500 employers of labor that they
will not come under the state work
mems compensation law.
Under an amendment to the law
passed at the last session OF the legis-
Iature all employers of four or more
persons will automatically come under
the provisions of the act unless they
state that they do not care to come
under its terms.
Those so far refusing to come under
the law are small employers who are
operating with little hazard to en-
ployes, or those who are carrying H.
ability insurance, the policies of which
have not yet expired.
The law requires that all employers,
under the act, shall carry liability in.

EARNING POWER is IMPAIRED
Loss OF Eye Held to Be Permanent

Madison. Judge Stevens has filed
finding in the case of the International
Harvester company against the com
mission and Ernest koenig, in which
the ruling of the commission is sus-
tanned
The commission awarded Koenig
compensation under the law upon the
theory that the loss OF an eye was a
permanent partial disability which
would result in weekly loss of wages
of Is per cent.
From the award the company APP
pealed to the circuit court of Dane
county.
In deciding the case, Judge Stevens
said
The evidence establishes the fact
that the loss OF one eye affects the
ability of the applicant TO Judge dis

knowledge that judicial notice will be
taken of 1t that preference will gen

FROG ATE CHICKEN A DAY
Prey He Held on and Was
Captured.

York, Pa When George koN. u
Pigeon hills farmer. sat upon the
porch OF his home In the dusk Of the
early summer evenings and listened
to the chorus OF the frogs in the
neighboring pond, he thought he de-
tected an odd note in the deepest
bass note OF all Had he recognized
II as gluttonous below for more
chick" he would probably have saved
more of his brood OF young fowls.
A chick disappeared daily. and
kopp attributed their loss to rats or
other vermin A few evenings ago
he was close enough to hear the dis
tressed piping Of one OF them as 1t
was carried on, but 1t was growing
dark and he could not trace the
sound The following evening he was
on the lookout and when he heard
another chick In distress he was quick
enough to note disturbance upon
the edge OF the pond where he was
amazed to see monster frog with
chick clasped In it's mouth by one leg,
leap into the water.
Several times the struggling chick
came 10 the surface, only TO be drag
ged back II was slowly drowning
when Kopp waded In and grasped it.
SO intent was the frog upon its prey
that il retained bulldog grip upon
the fowl and permitted itself TO be
pulled ashore and captured.
