day, the claim of the widow was valid.
 Only a few weeks ago young man, terribly crippled in a motorcycle race, was given substantial award. The law, as at present drawn, covers em- ployes in usual and unusual occupa- tions, if the employer has five or more people on his pay roll.
 No one will deplore the payments to the injured, or to the dependents of those killed. Sentiment will ap- plaud that which has been done and the law sanctions it, but the time will probably come when the state fund will protect itself from the foolish haz- ards that are undertaken for pro- fit and compensation will be limited to the gainful occupations in which employment does not carry prohibit tive hazard.
 No private insurance organization would quote ordinary rates in these extra hazardous occupations. There will always be much of sentiment in state compensation, but to make sen- timent possible the foundation must rest Oh sound business principles: If men will persist in defyiag the laws of nature, violating the rules of pru- dence and taking risks known to be exceedingly great, where there is no real need for such employment. the state may deem it just to say the fund shall not be maintained to cover such cases. Compensation is for the regular and needful occupations in which men labor for common good. It ought not to be broadened to in clude those unnecessary hazards talk en by the reckless. The two cases have brought out the possibilities of the broad provisions of the law, and the safeguards that may be required are being investigated.

ShingIe Roofs Prohibited.
Providence Journal )

Worcester has been added to the list of cities in which shingle roofs are prohibited Evidently the lesson of the Salem fire was needed, and the new ordinance is receiving the com mendation of everyone who is not in the business of selling shingles.
 An excellent example was given New England cities by the owners of big shingle industry in Nova Scotia A spark fell upon the wooden roof and a valuable mill was destroyed It was rebuilt, but a fireproof roofing was used instead of the shingles sawed on the premises. When shingle manufacturers lost faith in their own product, why should any city take chances with combustible roofs?
 After October 1 wooden roofs can not be laid in Boston, and the pre- cedents established by Worcester and Boston should encourage the Provi- dence city council to forbid new shinge roofs in this city without waiting to have the danger proved by costly fire.

What Is True LOyec
Or Frank Crane, in Woman's Worl
 for September.)

(Dr. Frank Crane. in Woman's World .. for September.) Once into the life of almost every that makes existence divine. Then human creatures live not on the sor- did earth but in heaven. They are transfigured within. and become as if rev. born. All is changed also around them, the streets are gold. the stars sing, the world is crystal. This ex- perience is called true love.
 It is kind of madness. It is like intoxication. It is a dream. a wonder, a miracle. Common to all people. it is yet the most uncommon, amazing, shattering thing known.
 It is the love of one man and one woman. It is the mating instinct of Nature translated into spirit qualities by the deep human heart and the majestic human brain.
 The first effect is to shut out all the rest of mankind. The two are walled up in a world of their own. They want no one else. Their thoughts cannot escape intense concentration upon one another. They are mono maniacs
 To the man in true love with one woman all other women have some thing repellent toward him.
 Monogamy is not merely a custom, nor an artificial or economic arrange ment, nor a state prescribed by the authority of religion; it is psychologi- cal: it is natural law of souls; 1t will continue forever because when true love comes to normal people 1t is al- ways exclusive.
 We may love many times. but the great true love comes but once.

JERRY DONOVAN HAPPY

The happiest hour in the public life of the Hon. Jeremiah Donovan E.. of Norwalk is at hand. The house has passed resolution to penalize absen- tees by deducting $25 a day from their salary for each day of their absence. MT. Donovans voice was not raised during the debate. but MT. Mann S was. He said that the primaries in the south are over, that the resolu- tion introduced by MT. Underwood was unfair because it hit at the north ern republicans who are to have their primaries, now and in some instances the members of congress are being Some of the absentees have been away for two months and the supposition is that they have been campaigning. Of the 435 members of the house there were but PAS who responded to the roll call on the penalizing resolu- tion. Of the forty-three members from New York there were but six teen in their seats yesterday.
 The Hon. MT. Donovan is always in his seat except when he is making speech denouncing the absent mem bers and now that they are to be fined his cup of joy Is flowing over. One of the blanks upon which the Hon. Jeremiah will seek a return to con- gress will be down with the absentees. He and MT. Hill will not differ on the tariff for while Jerry voted for the Underwood act Mir. Hill says that he has no opposition to it and with the tariff out of MT. Hills platform there will not be much left in it.
 While MT. Mann objected to the penalty resolution, it is nevertheless good document. There Is no more reason why man should absent him. self for a period of two or three months from his work as a represen- tative of the people than it would for him to leave his desk If he was work ing for a private corporation. Jerry has his faults, but his attitude on ab- senteeism is everlastingly right.

We read a magazine article on comet which was said to be travelling to- ward us at dizzy speed, and learned how many round trips to the moon We had time still to make if we could travel with it. We made a table showing how many heart beats and how many breaths were left us at the end of each of our rapidly dwindling number of days.

How It Feels to Be Under Death
 Sentence.

In the September American Maga zine appears another Boston Blackie 1 story entitled Death Cell Visions, written by Number 6606 who is now an inmate in a western penitentiary The author was at one time under sentence of death. He was awaiting the final day with another man whc was to be executed at the same time In his present story he describes in part as follows how it feels to be un- der death sentence:
 The long monotonous days dragged wearily by. We were glad each time light came, and yet be- grudged the lost day. Each night left one day less of life for us. We read magazines played checkers, tried novels, sang with the other con- demned men, but no mental diver sion ever removed the specter of the chair that waited at the end of the road we were all travelling so swiftly. l remember one night l was reading an absorbingly interesting book. It was "Pere Goriot," by Balzac. I read on and on, my eyes following the printed words on the pages. My cell mate spoke to me and I came out of my dream, realizing that for many pages I had not sensed one word I read. While my eyes travelled the lines of the book, my mind had been on the chair. was wondering whether the cold, damp cap that was to be clamped over the shaven spot on my head would send a shiver through me that would be mistaken for cowardice I threw down my book in disgust.
 Pal " said to my cell mate, whats the use of lying to ourselves? :? Neither of us mention the chair aloud. But both of us are thinking of it every minute we are awake and dreaming of it when we sleep. What do you say if we quit pretending and talk about what's in our minds? It may help Us to pass the time"
 You're on. .'she cried eagerly I've wanted to suggest it, but didn't know how you would take it.''
 After that we spent hours debat- ing every imaginable phase of our ap- preaching end. We recalled every printed account of an execution we had read. We argued the relative ease of death by hanging, by bullet, and by electricity! We even made sort of game of it in this way:
 would say, What will happen 11,520,000 times yet before we go? You see, boys, I still remember even the figures after all these years. It was my cell mates task to guess what l referred to. In this case the an- swer was our heart beats. Each of us vied with the other in inventing and computing these conundrums Always we selected something in which the answer was some gigantic number, running into billions oftentimes. It seem to push the chair farther back into the future to have such an un- countabl number of units of any kind between 1t and us. We used reams of paper figuring how far an express train travelling sixty miles an hour could carry us in the days of life we had left. We estimated how, far ocean greyhound could take us in a round -the-world trip. We learned how fast the earth travels, and worked out with painstaking accuracy the exact distance it would carry us
