day, State Oil Inspector ]. M
no immediate reorganization of his
department There will probably be a
few appointments soon, but not for
some time will the entire force of
Democratic appointees be disturbed.
Valuable information Revealed.
The survey made by the state board
of health to determine the nature and
extent of Occupational diseases in the
various Ohio industries has revealed
much information of a valuable char
acter. The board thinks that it should
be authorized to prescribe rules for the
prevention and eradication of such dis
eases and that the state industrial
commission should enforce them. The
report of the survey says that occupa-
tional diseases are exceedingly COM
mon. They are primary diseases and
only little attention is paid to their
symptoms when they are calling loud
est for recognition and at time when
they are easy to cure and control.
They are responsible for other dis
eases which cause death.
Case in Court % Years.
The oldest case ever before the su-
preme court was that brought by Ar
thur NJ. Carrier, a Summit county
school teacher, to compel the state
board Of school examiners to grant
him a life certificate which has been
dismissed by that tribunal. 1t
had been pending in that court 23
years. Carrier asked that the board
be ordered to give him a certificate,
alleging that he had passed the nee
essary examination for this. The
boards reason for not issuing the GER
tificate was not disclosed by the Off
cial records. Carrier was forced to
give up teaching job in Twinsburg
township, Summit county, because of
his inability to obtain certificate.
Won't Abolish Places.
J. M. Carr of Barberton, Summit
county, who will take his new position
as state oil inspector as soon as the
senate confirms his appointment, made
an announcement at the Office of the
governor Wednesday that will be
pleasing to the numerous patriots
throughout the state who aspire to po.
sitions in his department. 1t was that
he did not intend to abolish any
places. He thinks that they are all
necessary. He will probably change
the districts of the deputy inspectors
so as to make them more accessible.
Carr called on Gov. Willis and thanked
him for the appointment.
Hunts for Soft Snaps
Representative Agler of Stark coun-
ty, he of original economy" fame, is
out with another big stick on still
hunt for soft snaps" and "sinecures"
in the state service. Agler holds that
large numbers of employees fail to re-
turn proper service for their salaries,
and he is getting ready bill to make
them sit up and take notice of the fact
that they are being paid for their
work. In baseball season the lure of
the diamond takes multitudes of pub.
lie servants, for example, from their
labors with no return for the time lost.
official Makes Appointment.
Secretary Of State Charles Q. Hide
brandt has made his first election
board appointment. He named A. E.
McLane to succeed John F. McFadden
as member of the Jefferson county
election board. The latter resigned
and his uneXpired term runs until Nav
/, 1916. Election board appointments
are made by the secretary of state
upon recommendation of county COM
mittees. The new Wickline bill cuts
the number of election board members
from four to two in each county. This
change will not take effect until after
the terms of the members expire.

May Recommend 5ohm BtIl.
The house labor committee has
given intimation that 1t believes all
persons should get at least one days
rest in every seven, and it is likely,
therefore, to recommend for passage
the Bohm bill providing that in nearly
all industries in Ohio employees be
given such a relaxation from work.
The bill, however, exempts railroad
men employed on moving trains, bak-
ers and some other employments
where constant attention on the part
Of employees is required.
