the employee willfully injured himself
An employe can coHect damages, the
law provides, even through negligence
on his part or through the contribu-
tary negligence of fellow employe,
providing the injury is not the result
of willful action on his part.
When the ROlsin case was heard be
fore Commissioner Hughes in Wayne
circuit court, March 8, Attorney B. c.
Robbins, representing the American
Seeding Machine company, contended
that the "willfull injury" section OF
the law did not merely pertain to the
actual commission Of willful injury
but to the action of the injured en-
ploye in the care Of his injury after the
accident occurred.
Decision is Important.
The Interpretation of the "willful in
jury" section was upheld by Hughes.
The ruling of Commissioner Hughes
is Of utmost Importance to Indiana
employers
Evidence was presented by Mr. Rob-
bins at the hearing that after Rolsin
was injured he cranked an automobile
and did other things in defiance of
the physicians orders. Finally an op-
Grafton was necessary. 1t was then
established that although being order
ed to lie on his back in bed Rolsin
persisted in sitting upright and once
got out of bed and danced a jig. Be
ing permanently injured Rolsin might
have secured $4,000 damages if it had
not been established that he had will
fully contributed TO the apgravatiOn of
his injury.

Union May Result.

Union May Result.
ANY day, any moment, may bring
about a complete CONFUSION in Mexico
and there is good chance of war"
Or. Seymour said in an interview this
morning.
1T is impossible to depend on Car
ranza's cooperation. The morbid
hatred and dense ignorance of the
people may at any time lead to the
desertion of his troops to the help of
Villa
1T was dangerous If not disastrous
policy to send handful of men into
Mexico to capture the revolutionary
leader. But If 1t has no other good,
the punitive expedition which required
two weeks to be formed, proves at
least to the people the pitiable state
OF unpreparedness OF the United
States.
Predicts Long Chase.
Betrayal by one OF his own follow
ers for the sake Of the rewards offered
for his apprehension is only the re-
mote chance I see for the capture of
Villa. At least 1t will be long, stern
chase and may last year before he is
run down.
villa knows every inch of the coun-
try I'm which he is hiding and will
probably divide his troops into small
bands and conduct guerilla warfare
which will last indefinitely.
IF the reports that moneyed inter
ests were behind Villas raid on Co
lumbus, N. NJ, and are seeking to
force Intervention are traced down
their origin can be found perhaps in
the inability of the present administra-
ton to cope with the situation. Per-
haps in some Of Bryan's chautauqua
utterances.

loved and it is most probable that
within a short time he and Carranza

cd by the whole Mexican people.
Mexico Needs Education.
THE underlying troubles of Mexico
prevent any hope of permanent peace
in that country. until the United
States takes hold of her as we did
Cuba and sends her to school, teaching
her people the elements of good gov
eminent, law and order
There are 100 languages and dia-
lects used by the Mexican people.

LAURA JEAN l. BBEY GOSSIP AMONG
 WORKING GIRLS

Have you often wondered why some particular girls who are bright and attractive and who seem to have a host of friends are never able to keep their positions in any place for long! You might not guess the reason for these unfortunate happenings, but in nine cases out of ten the fault lies with the girls themselves. --S
 The love of gossip is their downfall. It has it's root in envy. If such a girl is employed at the ribbon counter and notes that the floor manager, who is a single man, pays more attention to the pretty girl at the perfumery counter opposite, she feels piqued. She Wh1s- pers to the companion who stands next to her that the perfumery girl powders her face. She adds, with a. sly nod, that the girl in question passes her handkerchief over her face a dozen times a day, insinuating that the bit of cambric covers rouge puff.
 She has set the ball rolling, and, as it is whispered about, it grows with the telling until at last there's scarce Iy a person connected with the large establishment who does not stare cu- riously at the girls face as he passes her counter or is brought in contact with her anywhere. It takes some lit tie time to unravel a hard bit of gos- sip, but it can be done. It is finally traced to the, gossiping girl And when the tale is proved to be without I foundation the services oe the girl be- hind the ribbon counter are dispensed with.
 Does she take warning from this? No, indeed! In some other store she secures a position at the glove coun- ter. She finds other girls there who are quite attractive herself. If a good-Iooking man singles out a mod est maiden at the far end of the coun- ter to purchase from, chatting pleas antIy as he looks over the stock, the gossiper soon starts the ball rolling by a few mods and winks.
 She whispers that the other girl is a f1irt. If perchance. she should pass the same girl seated in a car in com pany with the young man, it is a ten der morse1 for her to roll about her tongue Quite soon as she reaches the store, has circulated the gos- sip that the girl in question had met the gentleman outside and they were probably on their way to some dance or pleasure resort. The gossiper grows bo1der, adding that the girl shrank back in alright, r4alizing that she had been discovered, as she met her eye
 The story gets to the ears of the sends for the miscreant who was seen outside with the customer. Then the gossip is torn to shreds. The maiden gossiped about explains tearful1y that she had been riding home in the car with her brother, taking the only seat vacant, which she found to her sur prise was beside the customer who had quit the car at the next street corner Again the gossiper lost her place. Moral: Girls in general should refrain from gossiping.
