elusive of the compensation received
for disability prior to the death of Mr..
Hight as result of bloodpoisoning
following an injury received while at
work in the York Co.'S employ.
The dependent, Ida J. Hight, asked
the commission to decide the method
of figuring the average weekly wage of
her husband A hearing was held

m1tted showed that the deceased en-
ployee received an average weekly
wage of $14.50 for a week of IS hours,

Chairman Littlefield rules that, ac-
cording to subsection "a" of Art. 8
of Section 1 of the Workmen's Com

in this case must be determined by
dividing $14.50 by 81, which gives an

InfantiIe Paralysis

Dr A. G. Young, secretary OF Inc
state Board of Health, has returned
fror, a trim to Rockland, Thomaston ana
e. George in connection with the cases
~ infantile paralysis reported in Knox
county.
Or. Young on Wednesday ATTENDED
r,e.t,np at the Office Of Mayor Flint
a. Rockland and at this meeting all
present expressed their opinions freely
as to methods Of coping with the ols-
ease. Some Of those present were III

tine Of infected premises, Whlle othels
we're afraid that the local ooaro "
health was going too far IN It's co'i-
troll of all places in which chlloren
might congregate.
As after 10 days in which there were
no new cases of paralysis IN the Guy
and there have been II additional Cases
since Sentember 81 and as the secretary
Of the state Board of Health is unaple
to be in the city only small portio"
Of the time he sent a telegram lroi'

al ,Rupert Blue of the United states
Public Health service at Rockldno' ASH

land as an aid to the local poaru VI
health in it's work. Friday, Dr. Young
received a telegram from Surgeon Cen
eral Blue saying that he had designated

proceed to Rocklard.
While on his last visit TO Rockidha
mr. Young investigated the conditions as
to infantile paralysis on Metinic lslahd'
one case having been reported from that
island While driving through the VII
,ore Of Martirsville in the southern
mart of ST. George, Dr.. Young found
that the child from Metinc and its
mother we're in Martinsville. From the
mother, Dr. Young was able to get the
names of the five families on that ISL
and and learned from her that al OF
tho women and children had left the ISL
and. 1t appeared, therefore. that there
was no necessity of a present WISH 10
the island as the secretary OF the state
Board of Health had planned to make.
The stopping places of the mothers ana
the children from Metinic Island are
now all located and arrangements have
been made for keeping them under OBJ
starvation for the required period OF
time.
Dr. Young was asked how he account
ed for the appearance Of cases OF IN
fantilc paralysis in such isolated places
as Met:nic and Outer Long Island. 1t
is hard to explain replied the doc
tor, except on the ground that many
persons who are exposed to the disease
do not contract 1t Themselves but be-
come carriers and as such are capable
Of giving the disease to others. I am of
the opinion that such carrier must
have visited these remote places

Printing the November Ballots

The work Of printing the ballots to
be used at the November election in
Maine will be started this week, the
printing being done in Lewiston and
the shipments to the various voting
precincts being made from the depart
ment of State at Augusta, Election
Clerk Harold E. Donnell in charge
Sixty ballots will be sent to the vari-
Gus city, town and plantation clerks
for every so votes cast in the Presi-
dental election of 1912. In the last
presidential election 1854 votes were
polled. Of which the Republican candi-
dates for electors received 26,545 votes,
the Democratic candidates 51,1l3. the
Progressive, candidates 1895, the So
.cialist candidates 2541 and the Prohi-
bitionist candidates 947. The total
vote for Governor in the September
election OF 1912 was 141 $40. so it will
be seen that there was a falling off
OF the vote in November over that in
September of 1929. So that there will
not be as many ballots printed for
the November election as there were
at the last September election, where
the number printed was gagged by
the total vote for Governor In 1914,
which was 141,666.

Public Utilities

The Maine Public Utilities Commits
sion has made public decision in the
case of Miss Mary Buckley, aged about
50, Of Lewiston, who at APO P. M.
Sept. 49, either jumped or fell from a
moving passenger car of the Cumber-
land County Power and Light Co., near
Calvary cemtery in South Portland
and suffered a fracture of the skull
from which she died at P. NJ. of the
same day. After reviewing the testi-
mony, the report says that while it
may be that no one can tell absolutely
whether she deliberately jumped from
the car or not, it seems to be certain
that she jumped out or toward the
side of the car while it was in motion
and that whatever movements she
made resulted in her leaving the car in
jumping attitude, striking on her
feet. All of the testimony shows that
the car was proceeding at a reasonable
rate along straight and level track
without any violent motions.
Careful investigation fails to dis
close any fault on the part of the rail-
road company or any Of its employees.
