COMMISSION
MAKES A NEW RULING

The Colorado industrial commission is
always busy these days, as many prob
lens naturally arise in the putting into
effect of a new law. Some employers
are Inclined to be n trifle obstreperous.
The commission decided this week that
the burden of proving violation oi
rule, for safety. or failure TO use safety
appliances. thereby making it possible
for employers to he held for only 81
per cent of the indemnity ordinarily al
lowed under the workmen's compensa
tion act, is upon the employer.
In accordance with this ruling the
commission refused to approve settle
ment or 80 per cent basis, made by
the Victor American Fuel company for
an accident suffered by George SneddoD,
an employc at the Ravenwood mine.
Under the law compromise settlements
between employer and employe are pro
hibited. while any reduction in com
pensation. thru failure OF the employe
to use safety appliances, thru careless
ness or by other means, must first be
approved by the commission.
The commission takes the position
that the burden of proving carelessness
or failure by the employc to comply
with rules and methods of safety must
be on the employer in order to Preyen'

Old Man Prosperity right to the front,
the Mountain States Telephone and Tel
egraph company has ordered the COM
mencement of equipment improvements
in Denver which will be completed by
January at cost of $4,000. This
expenditure is independent of the cost
of the annex to the telephone building
on Champa street
The growth OF the city has not been
sufficient in the present year, from the
viewpoint Of mere area, to justify the
company in establishing any new ex-
changes, bu. the money iG being spent
in better and new equipment for ex-
changes already in existence. The
sl75,000 now being spent is for the
South, York and Gallup exchanges.
In making this outlay the company
points to its own figures on business
as showing good financial conditions in
Denver. The first of the present year
there Were 40,700 phones in Denver, AMI
today there are 4 900 and most OF the
present years increase is probably yet
to come, as the eOmpany's records show
that the rush for new phone accommo-
dations comes just prior to the issuance
of any new directory.
At the beginning OF 1914 there Were
81 100 phones in the Denver directory.
The telephone company officials insist
that business in Denver is improving, as
they judge by past history that the
telephone business is good barometer.
Telephone collections are better than
at any time since 1912, showing, ac-
cording to the company, that people are
not as hard pressed for cash. The phone

many old mines are being opened up

the entire district. as heretofore an

Bennett is on the ground and the new
union is flourishing and growing at a

Raising tie lusitaaia

/ At this writing the Lusitania is
supposed to rest on a fairly hard
bottom in from 300 to 400 feet
Of water, remarks H. H. Windsor
id Popular Mechanics" As a
salvage prize, the ship and some
of it's cargo are worth recovering
if they can be raised within a rea-
sonable length of time. So far
as we can learn, no intention to
attempt recovery of the ship has
been announced, and war condi-
tions, Of course, render any pos
sible attempt unusually difficult,
And yet it cannot be finally
said such a raising is absolutely
impossible, although the engin-
eers may estimate the cost at a,
figure which makes the effort i'm.
practicable. Ship and cargo
would represent probably a
weight of say, 100000 tons. No
such large vessel has ever been
raised even from less depths,
hence the problem presents diff
culties which have never been
solved in actual practice.
That we have no precedent,
however, does not in itself estab-
lish an impossibility. Given ap-
paratus OF sufficient size and
strength, theoretically, of course,
it could be accomplished. Wheth-
er or not it would pay is another
matter.
The bare possibility, however,
is one which cannot fail to inter-
est engineer and layman alike.
1t has been suggested that an
effort of this nature would prob
ably consist in raising the hull a
few feet and dragging it inshore
until it struck bottom; then rails
ing and moving forward again
until it reached shallow water,
where ordinary divers could work
for several hours at a time.

Our Barn Swallow

Our barn swallow comes to us
swift-winged in the spring. 1t Is
glad to get home. The fields
about it's summer residence are
alluring, the provender is plenti-
full and the company good. Oc-
easionally, before seeking the
country, the barn swallow will
hawk for insects through Getty
streets, and as they pass athwart
the vision city men straightway
think OF green meadows, river
brims, barns and boyhood.
Like the bluebird, the barn
swallow has a patch OF the sky
on it's back and a touch OF the
earth on it's breast. 1t must not
be confounded with it's cousin,
the cliff swallow, which nests un-
der the caves OF the barn. The
barn swallow lives all day out OF
doors, but he likes shelter and Sc.
clusion for the night hours. Far
up on the rafters it buildsits nest
of mud and lines it with the soft
est feathers from the fightless
barnyard fowls whose limitations
it grieves for.
Insects are the daily diet of the
barn swallow. 1t eats nothing
else. Its specialties are flies and
mosquitoes. The cattle bless the
barn swallow, and SO man would
if he knew the bird'suntiring work
in his behalf. The barn swallow
mirrors it's beauty in every river
and pond. 1t delights to skim
the water and occasionally to
take q half plunge in passing.

ing about the poetry of motion

The largest Men

The following from "North Car
olina and Its Resources" pub
lished in 1876, was furnished the
Morganton Herald:
1.-The largest man on record
was Miles Darden, a native Of
North Carolina, who was born in
1898, and who died in Tennessee
in 1857 He was Z feet and 6
inches high, and in 1845 weighed
872 pounds. At his death he
weighed a little over 1000
pounds.
"In 1889 his coat was buttoned
around three men, each weighing
over 200 pounds, who walked
together in it across the square
at Lexington. In 1850, it re-
quired II IL yards OF cloth, one
yard wide, to make him a coat.
Until 1853 he was active and
lively, and able to hear labor;
but from that time he was CON-
PEELED to stay at home or be
hauled about in o two-horse wa
gon.
"His coffin was 8 feet long, 35
inches deep, 80 inches across the
breast, 18 inches across the head.
and IA inches across the feet. II
required "a yards Of black velvet
to cover the sides and lid Of the
coffin.
"Miles Darden was twice mar
ried, and his children are very
large, though it is probable thai
none OF them will ever attain thu
gigantic weight and size OF theil
father"
