March q

With the beginning of Lent wed
nesday it is notable that not since
1856 has there been lenten season
which started so early. The calendar
makers declare that not until zoos will
Ash Wednesday come so soon again as
it does this year. Thus Easter Sun
day will fall on March %, almost IN
winter, which ends only four days
before.
The Feast of Publication, or Can
dlemas Day, was yesterday celebrated
in all Catholic churches. Before the
high mass yesterday the pastors bless
ed wax candles to be used on the al
tars at the various services during the
coming year.
The blessing of these candies is al
ways held on February 2, because that
day is set aside by the Catholic
Church as the Feast of the Purlfca-
ton of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Today will be observed by the
churches as the Feast of ST. Biase, ana
the blessing of the Threats will take
place in Catholic Churches. 1t is
pious belief among Catholics thai
if their threats are blessed on st
Blase's Day they will be immune from
all throat trouble through the inter
cession of the good Saint.
Day after tomorrow will be ASH

Some parsons denied that the little
Arctomys monax, as Webster's Dict
onary calls it,got look at his shadow
in spite of the brilliant sunshine
throughout the day. But the United
States Weather Bureau clinches the
argument by sending out warnings OF
snow and rain for today, and snow,
hail and rain, the first day OF ground
hog weather was in evidence early
this morning.
Indications are that during the COM
ing week temperatures will be near
the seasonal average in all parts Ct

COMPENSATION ACT

Approximately eight hundred Wis
consin employers of four or more per-
sons in common employment have
fled notice that they desire not to
to come under the provisions of the

sation act every employer of four or

tenn Der unless before that date notice
to the contrary had been filed. All
employers, who are not under the
compensation act, are liab'e for dam
ares in case Of injury 10 An employe
through the negligence of the en-
ployar. This liability comes under the
old common law method, but those
employers who are not under the acG
cannot plead the defense of assump
lion Of risk, fellow servant or ontri-
buso negligence. The damages in
such cases are not lirnited as under the
co u pensatiou act, but are fixed by the
jury Mt such sum as wiil cover loss of
wages, medical attendance, physical
and mental pain and suffering. In a
recent case in Milwaukee the jury gave
verdict for SIS, 800. La case Of death
tle verdict is not Likely TO exceed
$40 900 Many employers, who have
deciCed not 10 accept the act are ex-
pected to come under the law when
