MINNEsorA's COMPENSATION 81

North Dakota is contemplating
passing a workingmen's compensa.
ton bill, framed after the Minnesota
measure. There is a movement, how.
ever, in Minnesota to repeal that
measure because it has been highly
unsatisfactory. Representative Scott
of Hibbing, Mimi, one of the iron
range towns, is leading the agitation
for repeal.
Il have watched the present law
work on the iron range he explains,
land I have concluded that it is en-
tirely wrong in theory and in prac.
tice."
Before this state adopts any meas
ure effecting wo%rkingmen's compen'
satio1, the experiences of other states
should be studied carefully.

force in many other states, was a
special order of business for yester.
cay afternoon, but Mr.. Wiley OF Nor
ton county moved that action be de-
ferred and that the bill come up as
a special order for Tuesday afternoon.
The motion lost. Mr.. Wiley then ex.
planned that he was awaiting word
from a number Of people in the state
II sarding this bill and that he would
like to wait until hearing from these
people before the bill vas disposed of.
He then moved that the bill come up
as a special order on Monday after.
noon, which motion prevailed. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Wiley has written
to oranges over the state regarding
the desirability Of this bill.

FROM LUCILE'S DIARY

I am sure that I have more of the artists temperament than any one else in our family. Indeed. sometimes I wonder how person of my deli cate perceptions and keen sensibili- ties ever happened to be born into such a matter of fact, prosaically un- imaginative clan as ours. I thought of this last week when Aunt Racnei sent Cousin Fannie a handsome sil- yer mounted seal travelling bag for what the heroine of "Alice in Won derland' called an ''unbirthday pres ent."
 Dear me" grieved my ever practi- cal mother, tits too pad that Aunt Rachel didn't send you a nice winter coat, which you really need, instead of this luxurious bag"
 Tt was lovely of her to remember me so generously said Cousin Fan nie, "but I do scarcely require all this elegance for my infrequent trips.'
 Doesn't it suggest all sorts of good times, though ?'' I asked. ''Why, Cousin Fannie, it makes me feel liko going somewhere right away. I can picture myself stepping off q Pullman with that bag in my hand in Washington, New York or even Milwaukee"
 Your fancy runs ahead of mine, 5 laughed Cousin Fannie. I'm afraid

BOYS, CORN CLUES.

IL IS impossible not to appreciate he value which lies back of the ooys' corn club movement. Not only las it been taken uD by youngsters throughout the country as something with which to occupy their spare time prohtably, but 1t has actually ac- .Omplished such results as to fire the lnthusiasm Of most any healthy coun- ny lad to go and do likewise. The movement has set in motion 8 train # thought relative to scientific farm ug which while refiecting some ben ,ht in the present Is bound to show Is greatest results in the wears to ;one, What the boys find they can To with their acre or two today is .oing to be continued on a larger 'cafe later on and it is going to be conducted on d much more profitable iaSis than farming of the present day.
 The boys clubs, however, are not .onfining their influence to boys for hey are setting forth some extreme y valuable lessons to their elders. fhey are demonstrating the worth of he modern ideas of farming and Jothing sends an idea home any iuicker than an actual demcnstra- ion. When il can be shown to the armers that the boys through the pplication of uD-to-date methods can increase the corn crop on their plot D several times what is being raised an equal sized adjoining lot, 1t 2 course in agricultural education 'hich generally strikes home. It is fact the kind that is wanted. The oy who can make 76 bushels of corn TOW where only 16 had been pre- dousiy raised is doing much for the improvement of conditions in that To- aiity, and there are many which far 4ceed that figure.

BOOST AND BUILD.

Firmly convinced that Norwich and this end of Connecticut do not lack the inclination or opportunities for greater development, but that they are constantly pushing ahead with un- tagging confidence in their ability and natural advantages, The Bulletin has for the past three years made a canvass covering the two counties for the gathering of the proof of it's be- lief. Happy is it to show that it was not mistaken and while business and industrial activities are nct perhaps what they should he in many in stances. the past yeATSa aggregate N'e- veals C. steady and positive advance nent. More b.yHszlafss has ks en u. IT. and more wages have been paid, such being rosaiAle ny improved conditions in certaIg. ines otfsett!nS baG ccndi- ylons in others.
 The fact is that eastern CCnnecti- cut has added to it's record Of progress despite llandicaps beyond it's control. There is satisfaction in knowing that t is steadily and surely moving in the right direction. That it's ambi- tion5 have not been fully realized only calls for greater deter1Rination that TO opportunity shall he lost fer it's Iet-eL LiIGt+~' l HIS -S eile $p1t1L WHICH should raITsde tl:s section of the commonwealth for being in posses Sicu of those things which arc neces- sary for greater 5yzlness and with plenty of room for expansion there shcuid be ezerted the combined ef- fort which is so necessary for suc- cess.

this year the total mileage Is approx iznately ~ee. 900. Just what this means can be understood when 1t is known that there were but 15S,0o0 miles of such roads fin the country in 1904.
 Perhaps the greatest recognition of the worth of good roads is shown by the constantly increasing amount built each succeeding year. For the past ten years the average number of miles completed was $500 but for 1914 there were 1S.OO0 miles of such road constructed. For g years state aid has been extended to the movement and during the past two years about B third of such work was carried on by means of state funds. There is no longer any doubt about the advisabil- ity of good roads and the only dnes- tion involved is the production of reads of a permanent character.

GOOD ROADS.

Good roads have for a great many ears been recognized as of vast inn nrtance to city and country alike 'nere was a time when they were soked upon as luxury; today they re considered indispensable. It is an soiated and neglected section which annot boast of at least one stretch improved road, and those are con tantly growing fewer. And as such cad building increases there is also ! constant outpourirg of ideas for rerc0rning mary Of the shortcomings nd wastefGl expenses Of the past.

THEN-and-NO

Sixty-tWo years ago today the first practical power fire engine was demonstrated in Cincinnati. It was the invention of Moses Latta and was constructed in a machine shop in that city. From the days of the seven cohorts of ancient Rome with their red vessels and hand pumps, men had fought fire only by hand. George Braithyaite built the first power fire engine. but it was a failure. Latta's successful inven- ton with the organization of a paid city fire department which it made possible. was due to Miles Green wood, Chief of the Cincinnati Fire Department. When the engine was taken to it's first fire the volunteer fire comnanfes did their best to destroy it: but the citizens of Gin cinnah rallied in a body to it's rescue. Boston was the next city to have a fire engine.

The travelling bag did not arrive home until Monday. ! was out wher the postman brought it, and when l returned to the house found mother awfully vexed.
 Why. Lucile!' she exclaimed re- proacl1fully. How could you have sent Fannie's bag by mail without even wrapping it? It's a perfect shame the way it's bruised and bat tered
 "Wel1 don't see why you should blame me, mother. because the rostaI service isn't more careful" I told her Anyway. it's nicer to have some of the shiny neWness taken off a travel ing bag. so that 1t will look as If its owner went somewhere once in a wllile.'
 You appeared quite anxious to take 1t in it's newest state,'' remarked mother grossly. Moreover. you sent it locked, and we had to pay letter postage on it! There was S duel"
 Why, is it possibleT'
 Yes, it's possible, and a pretty way to spend money. I must say!''

Today the fire insurance com panies in many city districts in the United States have reduced this insurance from 20 to 50 per cent, in the face of the fact that a fire is breaking out every three minutes somewhere in America and costing a thousand dollars a minute or a million and half every twenty four hours. The secret of this re- duction In insurance is the fact that in 1912 there was expended for mo- tor fire apparatus more than S3,0o0,000 with 594 machines in ser vice. At the close of 1914 1t is es- tinated that the investment in these machines had Quadrupled with an outlay of s16.o00.0o0. Many towns and suburban communities now have a single motor hose and chem ical engine to. cover effectively an area as large as 2 square miles.

coAsrINa ACCIDENTS.

Already many coasting accidents and not 8 few fatalities have occurred throughout New England and the number is pound to increase as win ter advances. There is perhaps no more delightful or exf1ilarating sport at this season, but it does not re- quire many such accidents before se- rious consideration is given to the taking of steps which will put an end to such possibilities. Fractured skulls and broken bones usually bring quick decision and in not a few places the forbidding of coastiHg on all city streets has followed.
 When snow Is on the ground the hills Of city are the playgrounds of the children. Unfortunately the most desirable hills for coasting are very apt to be much used thoroug gffares, or intersect streets where there is much trolley and veticular traffic. Tn those places in particular is there constant danger, so much so that 1t is often surprising that there are not more serious injuries, while the coasters cause an endless amount of worry to drivers and motornlen.
 Foroidding coasting entirely brings it's hardships upon the children even though II Is III the interest or Sa1eLy. Inasmuch as accidents can be an- ticipated might it not be well to re- move some of the dangers by reserv- ing certain of the reasonab biy safe hills for the use of the children, where they will be subject to the least interference and cause the least tncon- venience? Such would mean 8 great relief to traffic during coasting pe- y+aHe or1 # =1n51IS ,-1oFerioII17 haI1 fr7 preventing many of the accidents. ex- cept what might be expected to occur in the ordinary course of events

A GOOD START,

It is gratifying to learn that Great Britain is accepting the note con corning the interference with the com merce Of this country in the spirit in which it was written and intended. It is such an attitude which is bound to bring about the best and quick est adjustment of the question in volved. It is. as has been said of some other things, the safe and sane method Of solution for these leaders among the English speaking people to give lair and honorable r&"eption and consideration to the facts in the case
 1t was for such an outcome that the administration drafted the com munication Of protest as 1t did. Its purpose was to avoid a dispute which could not be amicably settled, but 1t was equally anxious that its position should be clearly and positively set forth. That it succeeded is best evl- depced by the interpretation which
 was given the note in Great Britain. The very fact that Great Britain has heen impressed by the attitude of this country is highly pleasing. It indi- ca.tes that the perils surrounding the preparation and presentation of the protest have been admirably avoided and therefore paved the way for the next steps. Launched in friendliness and surrounded thereby, it should so continue to a decision.
 It does not, however. mean that there will be any deviation from the firm position which this country has taken, for justice in the treatment Of it's commerce and its rights as a neutral country cannot be sacrificed. but from the good start there should be a speedy clearing up of the mis- understandings that exist
