HALE OF WORKERS WAGES
 INSUFFICIENT COMPENSATION

Half of the workers wages is an inadequate proportion for compensa.- ton according to report on the New Jersey Compensation law which has just been Issued by the American Association for Labor Legislation The report attacks the New Jersey system for having fixed the basis for compensation too low Under the act the injured worker is entitled to only two weeks medical attention cent of his wages This, remarks the report, is one of the lowest scales in this country.
 Recent laws tend to fix compensa- ton on a more liberal scale. New York and Ohio started with a 66 2-3 two years experience with 50 per cent, recognized it's inadequacy and raised it to 66 2-3 per cent, at the same time very greatly extending the period of payments. In a dozen states this year active legislation campaigns to establish compensation
 on. basis of 66 2-3 per cent ara in progress.
 Family life cannot be maintained on $5 or $6 a week and this is all that numbers of New Jersey families are entitled to have during the dis ab1ement under the existing law,
 since, according to a. report of the f. tics of 1912, 48 per cent Of all em- p1oyees engaged in misunderstanding received $10 or less per week in wages. In coasequence of the low
 scale of payment many injured work children had been compelled to seek charity.
 Compensation at Q rate which does
 not allow for the continuance of fam l fly life of the worker defeats it's own
 ends, the worker suffering depriva-
 ton and hardship while the commu- nity is left to support the family l through one channel or another. Medical Treatnnent Hnportant Medical aid, it is urged. should be l determined by what is necessary for
 the injured worker in order that he may return to his work as soon as I possible. The limits set by the New Jersey law are Illogical and indefen- 1 sibIe. If the worker should lose the medical attendance needs at the end of a fortnight. his prolonged disable nent is not only to his own injury I but is contrary to the interests of his Iemployer.
 I Strong objection is raised to the New Jersey system by which a work
 man is compelled to accept the ser
 vices of the doctor selected by his employer or to pay all his own medi- I cal expenses. The existence of a Fl board for the administration of the provision for necessary medical aic l would greatly improve the existing I system

THE MOVEMENT or APPLES
 FROM COLD STORAGE

Washington, Feb. 27-According to investigations conducted by the office of markets. United States Department Of Agriculture, there was an increase p1es during January asE compared with December. It is impossible to give the total quantities of boxes and barrels in storage on February 1st, because many firms withhold infor- nation as to their holdings. However, 1t Is thought that sufcient number arc cooperating with the office of markets to warrant conclusions as to the total movement throughout the country.
 from a large number of commercial apple cold storages and granting the conditions for this number are rep resentaffve of the whole,- it appears CD that holdings on z4 February 1. 1S16 were 28s4 per cent greater than that z5-2 per cent of the total hold fngs have been moved since Decem- Der 1st, the decrease of barreled stock being 2S-4 per cent and boxes IT per cent; a1 that during January 1T per can't of barre1ed apples and 10.6 per of cold storage, the total decrease on Gae basts of holdings. December 1st being 15.6 per cent
 It was not thought that the demand for cold storage apples in January would be very much greater than in December, owing to the fact, as point fed out in previous report, that the large supply of common storage stock, together with Christmas purchases, would restrict the movement of ap- pies from cold storage during last month. The attention Of those inter ested is called again to the fact that practically all common storage ap- pies, as a ru1es pass into consumption by the 1st of February. If this con- d1tdon has been true of the present season, 1t is thought that the move mont of cold storage apples will be very large during February and March The supply certainly is bountifuI ands as the result of low prices and a large demand. 1t is thought the consumption during the next few months will be sufficient to exhaust the supply.
 The advisab biIity of moving the stocks as rapidly as possible is urged upon growers and dealers so that the unusually large holdings may dimin- ish sufficiently to prevent disaster in April or May

MARKS IN WOOD RECORD
 HEAVY WIND STORMS.

Little diagonal streaks or wrinkles across the grain of a piece of timber not only betray weakness, but some times indicate periods Of stress through which the wood passed when it was growing. They may even be taken as a sort of check on the off, cia1 record of wind storms, as in the case of some lumber tested at the forest service laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin.
 The marks are caused by what are called 'scompressi on failures which occur when the hbers bend or buckle under a too heavy strain. Tn cutting up logs collected for experi- ments at the laboratory, it was no ticed that these compression failures appeared on the north side of a number of trees which came from the sane locality in Florida By count ing the annual rings of the wood and from Knowledge of the time when it was cut in the forest. 1t was decided that the compr ession failures must have been caused by 8 severe wind from the south about the year 1893. Inquiries were made in Florida and it was found that a hurricane had, in fact, swept over the region at the time indicated
 The experiments have determined that the strength of a piece of wood may be seriously impaired by slight compressi on failures due to rough handling. Dropping a beam across a skid may cause a compression failure at the point at which the beam strikes the skid and it will be at this point that the beam gives way when it breaks under 8 strain too severe for the weakened flores to withstand. Hitherto unaccountabIe breakage in hickory wagon spokes and other pre- sumabIy strong material are now at tributed to compression failures caused by wind storms in the period of growth or by hard usage in lun- bering and manufacturing processes
