Senator Robert F. .Broussard of
Louisiana is the only United States
senator who has ever served as king
of Honduras.
Broussard used to spend a great
deal of time in Central America, and
once he happened to be a guest at the
palace of Honduras when there &C.

Central American revolutions, such as

The ruler that Broussard was WIS.,

the revolutiOnists were unable to in
stall the new ruler they had picked for
the job. So 1t was agreed by the two

he was right there on hand, should act
as a sort of king pro tempOre.
Broussard, however, did not lean

 ''The Holy Father sums up his true sentiments toward Belgium in a ded- ication which he wrote on a portrait for me as fol1ows TO our venerated brother, Cardinal Mercier, Archbishop of .Malines, we give with all our heare the apostolic benediction, assuring him that we are always with him and that we take our part in his sorrows and trials, since his cause is also our cause.'"

Injured By Chisel,
 Machinist Is Denied
 Extra Compensation


 Holding that a modern machinist has little use for a chise1 and there fore his inability to readily use such a tool is not basis for worknen's com pensation, Commissioner B. IT. Buck ing.ham has denied the petition of Ja- cob Cooper of New York city, for additional compensation. Cooper was a machinist employed by the Au- toInatfc Machine Go. of this city, earning $23 per week On May 18. 1915, he so injured his left hand as to incapacitate him from following his usual occupation for a time.
 After a hearing in June of the same year he accepted and received 10 weeks compensation at $1O pei. week. He now claims that he has lost the use of the second and third fingers of the left hand. He claims this injury prevented him from fol- lowing the calling which has been his for the past 5 years. He admits he has made no attempt to get em- p1oyment since he was injured.
 Insurance interests opposed the granting of additional compensation. In denying the petition Commissioner Buckingham calls attention to the fact that Cooper's claim is seriously weakened by his own admission that he made no attempt to get employ ment and offers no evidence that he is incapacitated following his trade.}
