der the federal law, Uncle Sam Is less
generous than any OF the states and
IS poor model for employers. For
instance, l. is found that fracture OF
an ain, or leg has been compensated
on the average by payment OF less
than $50; the loss OF an eye between
1926 and $50: and the loss OF both
legs has been settled on the average
for $37740. OF fatal cases onDth

averaged s410.77, while fatal cases
elsewhere were settled at an average
OF s72231 These figures cover an
average based on 1920 non-fatal cases,
and Sc fatal cases during the past
year. The small amounts of compen-
sation under the act as compared with
compensation under the various state
laws are dne/to the fact that under
the federal law compensation pay
mants limited TO usual wages must
cease when the injured employee IS
able 20 resume work, and In any case
cannot continue beyond II months.

state laws, compensation. usually on

"The CHALLENGE OF Factsr

A new volume OF essays written
previous To 1885 by William Graham
Sumner has been published by the
Yale University Press. Some OF them
have never been printed before.
There is an photographed sketch
in the beginning OF the book which
puts US in personal touch with the
author. In 1872 he became professor
OF political and social science at
Yale and IL was at that time that
most OF these essays or lectures were
written.
Aside from their literary value in
lucid English style, excellently put
together and aside from the sociology
cal and philosophical value, these es,
says are interesting, as showing the
different point of view held at pres
ent by the advanced minds of our
leading institutions of learning and
that held by the last generation. The
unit in Professor Summers society Is

FROCKS AND BLOUSES
OF COTTON ETAM|NE

One of the most popular materials
for the dainty little frocks and blouses
made up for early spring is cotton
etamine. The fine cotton etamines
are made up as simply or as elabor-
ately as one chooses, and while a lit
tie Irish lace enters into the makeup
of most of them hand embroidery is
also applied, lavishly or scantily, as
the wearer desires.
One attractive little model had the
borders of its surpnce front, the
waistband and skirtband above a
fatty pleated founce of Irish beading,
through which black velvet was run.
The front of the blouse was filled
in with Irish lace and the whole
bodice embroidered in very large dots
in lattice stitch. Etamine is easily
embroidered in bold designs, and there
are many very charming blouse pat
terms of this material made up in the
kimono sleeve and ornamented in
Russian or oriental colors in heavy
patterns.

Walter Neal and his children.

refugee stories were brought here by
forty passengers who arrived from
Mexican ports on the Pacific Mail
steamer Newport.
How two of their number were
treacherously trapped and slain by
Mexicans on April 26, at the Ell Favor
mine, in the state of Jalisco, and how
the balance of their small gang fought
off the Mexicans for hours until res
cued by detachment of federal
troops, was told for the first time by
Walter Neal, mine manager, and his
companions, all of whom returned on
the steamer.
The two who were killed were
George E. Williams, an Englishman,
and c. B. Hoadley, an American.
Neal said the Mexicans attacked
them while the men we're at dinner.
The Mexicans attacked the mine office,
wheer they stole 100000 pesos.
Hoadley and Williams ran out to in

men were armed. The MeXicanS as
sured them if they gave up their arms
they would depart quietly. AS soon
as they had surrendered their arms
the Mexicans fell upon them and stab
bed them to death.
Leave Wounded Companion.
With Neal were H. L. Wilson, A. B.
Brown, Frank Reimer and Tod Baird.
All were armed and defended them
selves. The fighting continued all
afternoon. Neal was wounded by a
shot and stabbed and Boar dwas shot.

began to use dynamite on the miners,
but the firing attracted some federal
troops, who saved the lives of the val

escaped from Tanala, acros sthe bor-

their property, including moving pic

colonel of the federal garrison that he
could not answer for their lives if they
did not get out in twenty-four hours.

With a two weeks efd baby in her

at her side, Mrs. H. M. Sunde told
of the narrowing experiences of the

NOVEL GARDEN FLOWER
FROM SOUTH AMERICA

Soon the lover of garden flowers
will visit the seed stores, assiduously
read the flower catalogs and decide
upon the new plants she will try this
spring.
One of the loveliest is an importa q.
ton from South Africa, the golden
marguerite.
This plant grows fifteen inches high
and blooms profusely. Its unique
marguerite-like blossoms are two and
one-half inches in diameter and of a
rich, glossy orange-gold with dark
center.
1t is fine flower for cutting, and
one which will assuredly appeal to
the amateur gardener.

To Retain Crispness
of Breakfast Foods

During the damp days which pre-.
cede the warmth of spring it is often
matter of much thought on the part
of the housekeeper to keep her break
fast foods and cereals in state of
crispness.
If she will empty them from the
paper or cardboard package into a
perfectly dry glass jar and keep the
top screwed tight so that the air and
dampness will not strike the contents
there will be no need of worry about
crispness.
