BOARD ALONE TO
SETTLE CLAIMS.
No Private Agreements for
Deaths or Injuries.
MUST APPEAR IN THE OPEN
Test Case In Which A Decision 10
Made Forbidding Withdrawals
OF Claims for Com
pensation.

The State Industrial Accident Com
mission. in an opinion just handed
down, decided that all claims for COM
pensation for injuries, fatal or other
wise, cannot be settled by private
agreements between parties interested
or by compromises. According to the
opinion, the commission alone has the
power to pass upon claims. 1t was
also decided that. cases once before
the commission cannot be withdrawn
for private settlement
A test case for the decision, which
was desired by the insuring compa-
nies, was furnished in the claim of
Mrs. William J. Lessner, whose hus-
band died from injuries sustained in
his employment. The widow filed a
claim for herself and two infant chill
dren. After the testimony had been
taken and before a decision had been
reached, an oral application was made
by the attorneys representing the
claimant and the insurer, respec-
lively, to withdraw the claim from
further consideration by the commits

enter into an agreement of settlement.
The parties were then advised by the
commission that such an application,
even if it should be reduced to writing,
would be denied. The commission was
requested to pass an order to that
effect that it might become a part Of
the record of the case.
The whole scheme and purpose OF
the Compensation Act, as decided by
its preamble, is to withdraw from pri-
vate controversy all phases of extra
hazardous employments and to provide
sure and certain relief for workmen
(and their dependents in case Of
death) injured in such employments.
In order to accomplish this end the
legislature clothed this commission
with the power and imposed upon 1t
the duty of investigating, hearing and
determining all claims for relief. The
act is compulsory and all employers
engaged in extra-haZardous employ
ments within the State are brought
within the jurisdiction of the commits
slon and are required to make report
to the commission of every accident
occurring in their employment and of
the injury resulting. Provision is also
made for filing claims for compensa-
ton before the commission, and, as
already stated, for the investigation.
hearing and determining of such
claims. 1t is also provided in the
act that the jurisdiction of the COM
mission over each case shall be con-
tinuing, and the commission may, from
time to time, make such notifications
or changes with respect to former find
ings or orders as in its opinion may
be justified.
1t follows that in our opinion tn
commission is without authority to
pass any order permitting or allowing
the withdrawal of any claim for COM
pensation, and the application, there
fore, must be denied in this case.

ORIGINAL IDEA OF MERIT
Give Delight to the Fortunate
Recipient.

A girl who is hailed among her espe-
clal friends as the only original one
fully lived up to her name and reputa-
tion by bringing to the las: linen
shower a most novel gift-and it was
not linen It was intended, however,
for the lingerie chest and was the
most novel and prettiest of sachets
Apparently, when the eager bride-to-
be opened the little lowered, silk-cov-
cred box. she saw lying in its silken
depth a large creamy satin rose.
When she lifted 1t for further exam
ination a sweet aroma was diffused
through the room and the rose was
discovered to be nothing more than
a number of petal-like bags of sachet
attached to a central calyx disk by
means of the smallest of gilt safety
pins. The petals shaded from light
cream at the outer edge to a deep pink
in the center. The only original girl
admitted to having used real rose"
as her model, and shaping the petal
sachets accordingly. A clever little
verse told the delighted recipient that
one petal at time might be removed
and attached to any piece of lingerie
she desired. The sachet used was a
delicate rose. which had first been
laid between thin strips of soft cot
ton and baked in a slow oven to make
the odor more enduring and less PUN
gent.

Rose linen is a favorite and rose
null and sweaters in rose and pink

broidered in silver, rose girdles and
rose garlands are everywhere. And
as for millinery, the rosy hats are
"all over the place."
Most fascinating to wear with lin

On the rose-trimmed hats the roses
are used in large single ones or
wreaths about the crown. A whole
crown of them is sometimes used.
From the handsome full-blown va
riety to the weeniest buds are en-
ployed. Even the wild rose is often
pressed fiat against the crown in de-
lightful effect.

sleeves of cream-colored taffeta striped
with lapis-lazuli blue.
There is a high-necked guimpe of
white Georgette crepe. shirred at the
neck and wrists to give a generous
fullness. Frills of self-material add a
soft finish at the top of the collar and
sleeve ends. Over the guimpe is worn
the attractive jumper blouse Of brown
taffeta, widely open in front, slashed
over the shoulders and bloused over
the top OF the striped girdle. The un-
der elbow-length sleeves of striped
silk must be attached to the guimpe.
A close row of silver buttons trims the
center of the draped girdle, to whose
lower edge the tunic and drop skirt
are applied with a cord finish and mar
row heading of plated silk. China
silk will do for the drop skirt, to which
the two lower flounces are sewed.
They are circular t1ounces and finished
with narrow plated ruf1es of the
goods.
The tunIc is a little below knee
length, and similarly bordered with a
narrow plating. Unlike the two
flounces, it is not circular, but is even
ly gathered around the hips.
The same design may be used for a
thin wash fabric, such as voile, organ
die or crepe de chine.
