these unfortunates would be to permit
the employer to enter into an agree
ment by virtue OF which such person
should stipulate that. in the event OF
an injury occurring to him by reason
OF some named physical defect, he
would make no claim for compensation,
and that this agreement should bind
his dependents in case the injury re-
suited in death. This would leave such
employe still entitled to recover COM
pensation for any injury not charge
able to the specific defect in question
Another recommendation made is as
follows:
Amend Section 10 by adding thereto
as follows:
whenever It shall appear that any
person has sustained injuries arising
out of and in the course OF his en-
ployment which injuries resulted In
death within the period OF two years
from the date thereof and Il shall also
appear that the deceased left a de-
pendent husband or wife who is a non
resident alien and as such entitled to
one-half only of the award to which
such dependent would have been emit
! tled IL a resident of the United States
or it's dependencies or the Dominion OF
Canada at the time OF such injuries
| IL 1t shall also appear that such de-
ceased left in the United States or its
dependencies or in the Dominion OF
Canada parent, or parents, brother OF
sister, who were at the time of huch
injury in fact wholly or partially de-
pendent upon such deceased. or II II
shall appear that such deceased left q
child under the age of 10 years or over
such age and incapacitated by physi-
cal or mental incapacity from earning

Penance the Theme of the Lenten Ser
mon at ST. Mary's Churoh-Rev.
Thomas HsAyneh of Baltic Delivers
an Able Discourse-PersonaIs

The third week of the Lenten period
found fair sized congregation present
in ST. Mary's church on Wednesday
evening at 7.30 o'clock. The services
were opened with the recitation of the
holy rosary and litany of the blessed
virgin Mary, Rev. FIR. Kennedy lead
ing with same. The Lenten sermon
was delivered by Rev. Thomas H.
Lynch, curate at st. Mary's church,
Baltic, whose theme was Penance, and
under the caption Spare, Lord,
spare Thy people," he went on to say
that the Catholic church calls sinners
from all parts of the world to repent
ance during this holy season of Lent.
How little many persevere in the mar
row path that leads to justice. The
worldly man sees a serious study in
penance. And what a glorious victory
gained by Satan over the children of
the church who refuse penance. Satan
knows the value of penance and tries
to turn sinners from God; SO guard
yourself against all worldly preachers.
Penance is a moral necessity. See the
continuous revolt we feel within our
selves. See the most criminal enemy
of man closing heaven against us and
opening the gates of hell. Penance
gives birth to good resolution and to
overcome our evil inclinations How
can we punish ourselves without pen
ance or overcome our evil inclinations?
Which in reality is our choice-pen-
ance. Sin has marked our souls as a
friend of Satan. How can the stains
be wiped out? Ask God for an answer
and the reply comes back: Do penance
Is it not time during this holy sea-
| son of Lent to arm ourselves against
ourselves? To mediate on holy things
and to study our duty to God in
heaven? Penance occupies a high
in wolf ORR fro oh l.,
magnanimous pardon. What a loving
appeal to Us to leave our sins and come
back to God!
Because of their sins Gods maledic-
tons fell upon a certain class of peo-
pie. Those people struck with terror
left their evil ways and God, touched
| by such good return, was ready to
| forgive and forget. Penance is surely
la condition for the remission of sins

uttered from the mouth of ST. John

claims to be His followers must take

preached today.

Advance Payments to Needy EmpIoyes |

Section IA of Part B provides for the
advancing of funds by the employer or
inSurere to supply the immediate
needs of the injured employee or his
dependents pending the formal settle
ment of the claim. This provision is
widely taken advantage of.
These advance payments are usually
made without the knowledge or advice
of the commissioner. In the majority
of cases we prefer to believe that they
are made from sympathy with the i'm
mediate needs of the employee and out
of a desire to conform to the spirit of
the act In many cases this method is
adopted by adjusters as a matter of
convenience

Lump Sum Payments.


A provision of the act requiring fire.
quent application is that found in Sec
ton % providing for the Communication
of payments into a lump sum. Human
nature is SO constituted that it usu-
ally prefers freedom of individual
judgment. 1t is not easy to convince
a. person that he is less competent to
handle funds than some other person,
and it is especially difficult to show
him that he is not in any way COM
petent to handle them. Yet the COM
missioners are frequently confronted
by cases in which persons obviously
unfit, both morally and mentally, to
handle any considerable sum of money
DANGEROUSLY apettiion for a lump sum

ly exercised by such claimants in de-
vlslng reasons in support of their re-
quests They are in debt, they pro-
pose to establish store and go into
business, they propose to go back to
the old country, they are going to have
an operation performed, or there is
sickness in the family.
Legal and Medical Fees.
A by no means unimportant aspect
of the commissioners duties is the APP
prevail of bills for medical, surgical and
hospital service, and occasionally for
legal and other services. In it's intent
to reduce or limit expense under the
commissioner this power.
In very few instances has il been
necessary to exercise this power in
connection with legal fees. The fees
allowed to attorneys range from a neg
ligible amount up to about 800, this
figure being practically the maximum.
The legal profession has shown a
praiseworthy readiness to conform to
the spirit of the act
There has also, on the whole been
a like disposition on the part of the
medical profession to comply with the
terms of the act. 1t will be observed
that up to Jan. 1, 1916, there have been
55,124 injuries reported, each of course
involving a potential dispute over
medical bills. When this fact is taken
into consideration the number of con-
tested medical bills has been surpris-
ingly small.
There appeared in our last annual
report a communication from a Joint
committee representing the Connecti-
cut Medical society and the hospitals
IN Connecticut, making certain recon-
mendations. For some reason these
recommendations were not followed UT
by the physicians before the legisla-
ture and no action was taken thereon

HAD A FEAR OF LIGHTNING
Lifelong Dread Made Woman Uncon-
scious and She Died From
Fright.

During a thunderstorm at Newton,
N. j., a woman who through all her
life of fifty years had felt a nervous
dread of lightning" became neon
scious from fright and died.
Cannot the multitudes of otherwise
rational people who are obsessed by
the same dread take counsel Of the
fate of this unfortunate and allay
their fears? asks the New York World.
They suffer an access of terror in
every thunderstorm, and in effect I'M
dergo the agony Of death many times.
Yet there are few other forms Of
death so painless or so remote. In
1917 In the whole country only 243 per-
sons were killed by lightning, of whom
but AZ were females. Women, who
mainly feel this fear, should be en-
couraged by their greater immunity.
But, in fact, twice as many people
are burned to death in conflagrations
In a year as are killed by thunderbolts,
and the number Of those who die from
organic heart disease compared with
those who die from lightning is as 354
to l.
No doubt the superstition that has
attached from the earliest times to
deaths by lightning has had
thing to do with the survival of the
fear. People who view their inescap-
able exit from this world with philos-
ophy should be ready to accept a light
ming stroke as an end as easy as any
other. 1t is too instantaneous to ad-
NIT Of physical sensation, while the
f%ear-ridden are assured that If the
flash is seen the sufferer Is safe.

PAPER FROM COTTON STALKS
German Testing Office Claims Inter

To the United States.

Berlin The royal material testing
office at rosssLichtarfelde a suburb
Of Berlin, announces the interesting
discovery that paper can be manufac.
turcd from cotton stalks.
The discovery 10 not considered Of
much Importance for Germany. which
produces no cotton, but is pointed as
Of vast Importance to the United
States, the greatest producer Of col.
ton in the world, because Of the short
age Of paper reported in that coun
try.
The discovery was made, it Is stat
ed, by a German institution while car.
rying out a commission from an Egyp
tian firm, given before the a A
shipment Of stalks which had arrived
from Egypt before the opening Of hos
%tilities was used for the experiment.
The stalks were cut and ground,
boiled and bleachcd, and the paper
making then proceeded after the usual
methods. The result causes the test
ing office to arrive at the decision
that cotton stalks are q good material
for making paper.
