caption will become effective.
In it's preamble it recites that the
state recognizes the great risk involv-
ed in the prosecution of various in
dustrial enterprises and the injuries
resulting to workmen because OF their
participation in the same. 1t repu :?
dates the relations existing under the
old common law between employer
and employee, better known as the re-
lation of master and servant, and, also
repudiating the old idea that the en-
ployee might waive his rights at the
time of his employment or be held re-
sponsible for the consequences of his
injury on the basis of contributory
negligence, it follows in the wake Of
some twenty-four other states who
during very recent years have estab-
lished a system of compulsory insur-
ance to be taken out in favor OF en-
ployees. No classes of labor are eX-
empt except domestic labor, farm Ia
Dor, country blacksmiths, wheel
wrights and cimilar rural employ
ments."
The whole subject will be under the
whose powers will be extremely broad.
This court will sit in Baltimore, and
will not be bound by the strict rules
of technical evidence in the determi-
nation of cases in order that the abso-
lutte merits of each case may be reach
ed and determined. IN this respect it
will be similar to the present Public
Service Commission.
Three different methods have been
fixed, by means of some one of which
employers must insure their employ
ees (a) through a State Accident
Fund, (b) a stock corporation or NUT
ual association authorized by the Com
mission to engage in such insurance,
or (c) by satisfying the Commission
of ones ability to meet any losses in
Cured under the law. AS in this case
the Commission will continually re-
quire the employer to lay bare the
state of his business in order to prove
this ability, and is authorized to re-
quire that securities be left in its
hands as guarantee of future pay
ments, it is not likely that this method
will receive much favorable considera-
ton. Nor is it likely that the first
method will be popular for good risks
as it will necessarily secure the poor
risks which stock companies decline to
take, thus increasing the rate of in
surance. Practically the bulk of the
best business will be done by stock
companies just as they are today do
ing the bulk of business where fnan-
cial and fiduciary transactions are
guaranteed.
Payments will be for death; for
total and permanent injury las for the
loss of both hands,; for total but tenn
porary injury las for two broken legs)
partial but permanent injury las for
the loss of an ARM; and partial but
temporary injury las for broken
arm).
The compensation allowed runs: If
permanent so per cent of wages, but
not to exceed $4,000; if temporary, SO
per cent. during disability for a per-
iod not to exceed six years, not to ex-
coed $3.50.

LIGHT FARMHOUSES
WITH GAS IN BOTTLES

A device has just been perfected
that will give the farmer every adj
vantage enjoyed by the city man in
mers of Pennsylvania and New Jersey
are preparing by hundreds to pipe
their homes for gas, which they will
be able to buy in bottles.
This latest invention for moderniz-
ing life in the country is operated up
on exactly the same principle that gas
lighting for automobiles is accom-
plished.. All the consumer does under
the new system is to connect his gas
bottle to the main in mis- house, and
then turn on valve. When the bottle
is empty, he takes it to the railroad
station, and ships it to the company.
A new bottle has meantime been ship
ped him, and this he connected as be-
fore.
The invention, as is often the case,
was the result of necessity. For many
years the Pintusch COMPRISING Co.
has been selling gas to the railroads
of the country for use in their cars.
The electric light is slowly, but sure
ly, supplanting the incanGescent gas
lamp for this use. Therefore, the
company has been compelled to look
elsewhere for new business with which
to keep busy its COMPRISING stations
in every important city in the coun-
try. Gas for farmers and other coun-
try jewellers is the result.
Gives Farm a City advantage.
Under the new system the farmer is
placed upon the same plane as the city
dweller, in so far as illumination Is
concerned. His wife in the kitchen
can now light her gas range and do
all her cooking without the use of
coal, or, what is worst of all, wood,
which requires new fire to be built
for each meal.
Country clubs and suburban dwell
ings are now independent of local gas
companies, or, if far from touch with
thickly settled communities, may be
divorced forever from the time-honor-
ed oil lamp.
Under the new system farmhouses
are piped for gas the same as any
city dwelling. The only difference is
in the burners, which are of special
design. Upon each burner is man
tie, the lights being incandescent. The
gas main leads to the cellar of the
farmhouse. To this main is connected
the gas bottle or container, charged
with the compressed gas. Upon the
container is a gauge, so the farmer
can tell at a glance when his gas is
low.
The bottles are of very heavy con-
of steel, measuring 6 feet
in length by 8 inches in diameter.
They have capacity of 300 cubic feet
of gas under high pressure. One bur-
ner in the house will use up one cubic
foot of gas an hour, giving so candle
power of light. There IS enough gas
in one tube to supply the average
farmhouse one month. The gas is
sold at 8 cents pound,
Cost About Sl.75 a Month.
AS a bottle of 300 cubic feet will
contain about % pounds of gas, the
cost will average about S1.75 month
for gas.
For cooking an ordinary gas range
is used. AS the oil gas supplied in the
bottles gives much hotter flame than
ordinary city gas, it is not necessary
TO use so much of it. 1t is therefore
