COMPENSATION COMMISSION
 CONFERS IN THE CAPITOL
Discusses Forms to Be Used in Carry ing Out Law Which Goes into Effect Jan. 1, 1914.

The members of the workmen's compensation commission held a meet ing Monday afternoon at l o'clock in the old supreme court room in the capitol. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the forms to be used in the carrying out of the law. These forms will apply to applications from persons who desire to come within the operation of the statute of withdraw als etc.
 The law will not go into effect until Jan. 1. Accidents which take place up to that time will not come within the scope of the statute and suits for damages on account of them must be brought under the existing law. The commissioners cannot hold hearings before the first of next year. It is ex- pected however, that they will be kept pretty busy in the meantime answer of the law and in sending replies to those who desire information in re- gard to the method of procedure for coming under the law. In fact, it is quite possible that the months of NO- yenber and December may be very busy months for the commissioners, The law is complicated and there are no precedents to guide the commits sionerS in their decisions.
 Jurisdiction.
 The members will not sit as a body for the hearing of cases. Each com missioner has for his jurisdiction a congressional district, and in the de- termining of cases he is, within it. in- dependent of the other commissioners. If an appeal is taken to the superior court 1t will be from the decision of the individual commissioner and not from the decision of the board.

ORDINANCE TO
PROTECT PAVING
To Keep Traction Engines and 9th.
er Heavy Vehicles off Paw
ed Streets.

The city attorney and other city
officials are contemplating the mat
ter of framing an ordinance to pro
tect the large amount of pavement
recently laid in this city, Just last
fall heavy traction engine was rur
the whole length of Boone street one
Sunday night and its heavy wheels
tore small pieces OF asphalt from thu
pavement all along the way. So II
has been thought wise, to prevent
the recurrence of such a thing, to
enact an ordinance prohibiting trac-
tion engines and other vehicles over
a certain weight from travelling on
the paved streets
Other cities having pavement
have found it necessary to thus pro-
tect this improvement and the city
attorney has sent to several towns of
this size for copies of their ordin-
ances, in order that Webster City
may profit by their experience and
secure as practical an ordinance as
possible.

Horse Runs Away.

Mr.. and Mrs. Gus Frieze came
very near having very serious ac-
cident last Saturday evening. They
had taken their horse and buggy
from the hitching rack about nine
O'Clock in the evening and were
driving home when something
frightened the horse just as they
were passing the court house. The
horse started to run and in attempt
ing to turn the corner by the Alex
ander Groves home on Elm street
ran into the curbing and threw Mr..
and Mrs. Frieze out of the buggy.
Both of them were badly shaken up
and bruised, Mrs. Frieze suffering
the most. A doctor was called i'm
mediately and they were taken to
their home in an automobile. Upon
careful examination no serious in
juries were discovered and aside
from the nervous shock and numer-
Gus bruises both parties are all right
today.

Time to Go Home.

The horse belonging to Melvin
Drake, who resides north of town
decided it was time to go home
Sunday night about 1870 and, heed
less of hitch strap and other devices
which would be apt to hinder the
animal from betaking himself off, he
made his way out of the W. II. Perry
feed barn. The buggy the horse was
hitched to was badly wrecked, shafts
and other pieces of the buggy and
harness being broken. The horse
ran a distance down Second street
and then took his departure from the
city, going straight home.
The breast collar was lost in the
shuttle and should anyone find it
they can return 1t to Mr.. Drake.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE.
EXHIBIT OF SCHOOLS
On Display in Shipley & Blacks
Window Tuesday and We'd
nesday, May 20 and 21.

A sewing exhibit of work done by
the domestic science department OF
the public schools, which was first
organized last fall under the direc-
tion of Miss Edith Marvel, will be
on display in the front window of
the Shipley & Black dry goods store
today and tomorrow.
The exhibit will consist of work
done by all pupils in this depart
ment beginning with that of the
children of the fifth grade, of both
the central and the ward schools.
The younger children will contrib
ute such pieces of their handiwork
as dolls quilts, comforters, sheets
and pillow cases. Those little old
er made such things as pincushions,
bags, aprons and dresser scarfs. The
high school pupils have spent most
of their time in the making of dain-
ty pieces of lingerie underwear and
all kinds of useful and fancy aprons.
All of this work, save that of the
high school pupils, has been done by
hand and under good deal of diff
ficulty because of the lack of room
before the completion of the new
building. Since the department has
moved into it's more spacious quar-
ters advance has been much more
rapid and next year, with the added
cooking equipment, Miss Marvel
hopes to be able to accomplish still
greater results.
One of the most interesting feat
ures of the high school work has
been the preparation Of little books
entitled "How Junior Can Dress
on 500 Year" The booklet is IL
lustrated with pictures cut from
fashion plates and catalogues of all
the necessary wearing apparel of a
young girl together with samples of
cloth for dresses, number of yards
required for each and the estimated
cost. In this wardrobe is included
hats, shoes, underwear, handker-
chiefs and fancy neckwear and in
fact everything which goes to make
a compete outfit for the average
girl Of sixteen or seventeen. Some
very surprisingly neat, attractive
and economical wardrobes have been
planned by the high school girls
which will probably be Of real prac-
tical value to them when it comes
to actually selecting their wearing
for the year.

LAWYER Scored on JUDGE.

Lord Mansfield received hard set
ting down from Thomas Erskine. The
latter was arguing a case before the
house of lords-a Scottish appeal re-
lating to trust estate. In the course
of his argument he had frequent occa-
sion to use the word curator" always
pronouncing it in the manner approved
in the Scottish courts; that is, with
the accent on the first syllable.
This grated upon the ears of Lord
Mansfield, who, though Scotsman by
birth, had taken pains to become
Anglicized. At last he broke out:
MIR. Erskine, we are in the habit in
this country of saying curator, fol-
lowing the analogy of the Latin, in
which, as you are doubtless aware, the
penultimate syllable is long"
Il thank your lordship very much, ="
returned Erskine. I'VE are weak
enough in Scotland to think that in
pronouncing the word curator we are
following the analogy of the English
language; but need scarcely say that
| bow with pleasure to the opinion of
so learned a senator and so great an
orator as your lordship. "-William s.

USE A BLUFF" TO IMPRESS
Some Cases of Deception That Have
Come Under the Observation of
Group of Bankers.

A group of bankers met for their
daily lunch at a club restaurant
where it was their habit to discuss
various problems. This time the con-
versation drifted toward the various
modes Of deception practiced by peo'
pie. One member related how, among
his acquaintance there were five who
owned pianos but not one could play.
These friends, he stated, we're in but
fair circumstances, and to his think
ing 1t was folly to invest merely for
the sake of appearances. Another
member of the party stated that he
knew a family where they had five
shelves for the fake books to enlarge
the library so that it would have an
impressive appearance. Glass doors
covered the shelves, and whenever a
visitor expressed a desire to consult
any particular book the key to the
doors could not be found. Each bank
er seemed to have some story to tell;
even Silent Clarke" as one Of the
members was known, because of the
few stories he told startled them all
by reciting the methods employed by
a man he knew whose desire was to
Impress everyone that he was rich.

crazy to show off that he BACKED him

dows to make people think he could
