Such reliable testimony should con-

therefore If you are worn out, weak
and nervous and want new strength
and more vitality, we ask you to take
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
tonic. If it fails to benefit you we
give back your money.

The operations of the law of May
30, 1908, providing compensation for
accidents to certain employees of the
Federal Government, form the subject
of Bulletin No. 155 just published by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
United States Department of Labor.
The report covers the period from Au-
gust l, 1908, when the law went into
effect, to June so, 1918, or practically
the first five years of its existence.
This law was the pioneer general ac-
cident compensation law in this coun-
try, but since its enactment "a states
have made provision for compensation
in some form, all of them, however,
on d more liberal basis.
AS enacted the law covered artisans
and laborers in manufacturing estab-
lishments, arsenals, and navy yards.
river and harbor fertilization work,
and hazardous employment in the Re-
clamation Service and under the 18TH
milan Canal Commission Later 1t
was extended to include all Isthmian
Canal Commission employees and per-
sons engaged in hazardous work in
the Bureau of Mines, the Lighthouse
Service, and the Forestry Service. II
is estimated that $4,000 persons are
covered by the provisions of the law,
somewhat less than one-fourth of the
civilian employees of the Federal Gov
eminent The act is administered by
the Secretary of Labor except as 1t
affects employees of the Isthmian Can
al Commission, for whom an act of
March 4, 1911, provided that the law
should be administered by the chair
man of that commission.
The law allows compensation only
for accidents sustained in the course
of employment without negligence or
misconduct, causing disability exceed
ing Is days or resulting in death.
Compensation is on the basis of full
wages, but payment is limited to one
year even in eases of death and to-
tai permanent disability.
The total number of claims filed dur
ing the first five years of the law was
IA. 1853. of which 14,046 were allowed,
81 disallowed, and six were still I'M

der consideration at the end of that
period. OF the cases allowed 437 were
for fatal accidents. The total COM
pensation paid for all accidents during
the five years amounted to over ST.
100000. OF this more than 1882 900 was
paid to 6315 employees of the Isthmian
Canal Commission.
In the fiscal year 1928 the average
compensation reported for 1920 nom
fatal and IS fatal cases was $10696
and s661.12, respectively. OF the nom
fatal cases 1886 were Isthmian Canal
Commission employees, who are large
ly unskilled and are exposed to great
hazard, and 1924 were employees of
other apartments, the two groups re-
ceiving an average of $93.64 and $112.66
respectively. OF the fatal cases IL
were Isthmian Canal and 45 other en-
ployes, the compensation averaging
St10.77 and $722.31, respectively. The
failure to recognize permanent partial
disability on a different basis from
disability from which there is COM
plete recovery results in very made
quate compensation in many cases.
Thus. fractures of an arm or leg led
to compensation payments of less than
$25, the loss of an eye between $25
and $50 and in case of the loss of a
right arm the injured workman receiv-
ed less than $50, while in three cases
of the loss of both legs. occurring dur
ing the third year, the average COM
pensation was S377.40.
The small amounts of compensation
under this act, when compared with
compensation under the various state
workmen's compensation laws, are due
to the fact that under the Federal
law compensation payments limited to
usual wages must cease when the in
jured employee is able to resume work.
and in any case can not continue be-
yond u months. Under the more re-
Gently enacted State laws compensa-
ton, usually on the basis of one-half
or two-thirds the average wages. is
paid in case of temporary disability
during disability, or in case of death
or permanent disability for a period
extending to six years, and in several
states to eight years.

nouncement of great posSlpliitles'
Here is the meat of ii:
A substitute for gasolene that can
be manufactured for one and a haiti
cents a gallon and that will run a
motor car faster than gasolene is be-
ing made in indianapolis. f. f. Mos
kovics, commercial manager of Nor
dyke & Marmon Company of Indian-
apolis has seen the substitute made
and has observed tests of 1t. Some OF
the biggest mem in the motor car
business in this country are interested
and predict that the new fuel will
revolutionize not only the motor ca"
! business, but all manufacturing bust
ness. -s
THE new fuel is called zoline,'"
SAYS Mr.. Moskovics. 1T was discov-
cred by John Andrus, a Portuguese OF
McKeesport, Penn, who was recently
paid 100000 by the government for a
discovery he made in toughening
armor plate. Andrus has discovered
way of breaking down water without
the use of great heat and the new
fluid consists mostly of water little
naphthalene and two secret in
gradients that can be bought at any
drug store Andrus mixes these in
still to which heat is applied and tn,
result is a fluid that is superior to
gasolene.
"Andrus interested Carl Fisher,

pany and president of the Indianap-
oils Motor Speedway, in his invention,

oils, and that vas done on July 4. AT

about four miles more than can nor

than the car ever had made on gaso
