/ station recommended the use of the
hOpperdOZer as a means for getting rid
of some Of the grasshOppers in fields
after a damaging infestatiOn was no
ticed. From the nature Of the machine
il viii be seen that il is most effective
if used early in the season before the
hOpperS have reached the adult, winged
stage AT that time the "nymphs"
or young hOppers, can not fly out of
the way nor can they jump so far but
that they usually strike the machine
somewhere. And, once in the liquid
in the pan, they are less able than the
adults to crawl, swim or jump out
Measures for the preventing Of the
Matching Of the eggs are to be first
considered. Then watch closely to see
If many young hatch out and if they
do, use the hOpperdOzer when they are
young; do not wait and watch to see
if the hopperdOzer viii have to be used
Use it and then watch Every young
hopper killed means saving in what
it would eat to grow TO maturity, and
it stops any risk that more eggs than
ever viii come from this rising gene
ration before being killed, possibly.
For Field Work.
The hOpperdOZer is manifestly better
adapted for field work. Usually small
patches may be cleared in ways suited

The essential parts Of n typical ma
chine are the pan, the back stop or

compensation bill was sent to the
General Assembly, today, by being Of
fered in the Senate by Senator Nc
Donough. The bill is an extremely
and provides for an optional forum of
compensation on the same basis as
the bill reported to the General AS
seubly two years ago. ~
The acceptance Of the compensation
law by an employer is presumed in the
absence OF notice duly filed TO the con
trary.
Acceptance of the law by both em-
ployer and the injured enploye brings
the matter Of compensation for adjust
ment before the commission.
II the employer refuses to meet the
injured empIoye under t4ids law his
common law defenseS are swept away.
If the employer does and the emp1oye
does not accept the law, the employer
has the benefit of the connon law
defenses
The bill covers all empIoyersaof labor
who have not less than five persons
in their employ and there Is no ex-
ernptton of any class of labor. This
means that the farmer comes under
the bill If he has five or more persons
in his employ.
The basis of compensation is badly
due to the fact that so
many conditions had to be provided
for. In the case of death the total
compensa ton. covers a, six year period.
In the event of total incapacity, the
improvisation runs over a term of 10
years. For partial disability the per-
iod is six years but the earning capa-
city of the injured person after injury
are determining factors so that the
actual compensation may be made in
g. small weekly sum. Compensation
in other cases is determined from the
earning capacity of the injured per
son over a period which will furnish
an equitable basis. The feature of the
compensation settlement is a provision
for a specific payment as in the case
of the mutilation of the person. The
bill provides for five commissioners
to make conn pensation awards, one of
each congressional district at salary
of $4,000 each with expenses not to
exceed $4,000. The commissioners are
given the same general powers of a
quasi judiciary nature in the case
of the public utilities commission.
The legal and medical fees are sub
ject to approval by the comp pensation
commissioners.
Employers are obliged to furnish
medical and surgical attention to in
jured employees for thirty days in ad-
dition to the money compensation.
The compensation fund can be estab-
Iished by the manufacturer of ascer-
tanned financial responsibility by Ill
ing bond or giving other surety
which may be in mutual or stock
companies. Employers are compelled
to insure their liability or risk. Pro
vision is made for The communication
of compensation or payments in a
limited number. With the approval

touring car this forenoon on Golden
Hill street. just above Main. came near
death and that the car did not dash
into the crowded thoroughfare below
seems little short of marvellous.
The driver threw on his brake and
attempted to turn his crank-shaft
over, when the car was half way
down the hill. The brake gave way
and to the horror of those watching
the car it carried the helpless man
who clung to the forward axle, to the
gutter. There having presence of
mind to drop flat upon the ground,
he escaped being ground beneath the
heavy engone casing.
When the car came to a stop with
its forward wheels halfway across the
Sidewalk, the victim had to be re-
nfeved by a score of men who lifted.
the car until he could be pulled from
underneath His coat was torn in
shreds and both hands and face were
scratched and bruised. He was badly
scared but otherwise felt no great
pain from his experience and refused
offers to\send for medical aid.
After resting upon a nearby porch
for the space of fifteen minutes he
recranked the car which strong hands
had again pushed to the street and
went to the emergency hospital for
treatment. He suffered a slight cash
in his left leg.

were robbed by a man wearing a
handkerchief over the lower part of
his face, soon after the train left the
Grand Central station here about mid
night. The bandit escaped.
Bleeding from wounds he received in
a pistol battle with Short, the robber
left trail of blood as he fled from
the scene of the robbery. This en-
abied the officers to followslais tracks
until they arrived at the Blue River

trail stopped abruptly, and his pur-
suers expressed the belief that he con-

suggested that he might have had a

The train was just pulling out of the

him board the train, rushed out and
ordered him away. The robber COW

am going to put over a trick here.

After the train had proceeded about
three miles the robber ordered Allen
to go ahead of him through the train.
In the sitting room of the observation
car were WI. Scafe, of Kansas City,

voice trembled as he asked for their
valuables but they offered no resist

mand and he passed along collecting
their money and jewelry, all of which
he placed in a. large pocket of his coat,
