BUSINESS MEN TO BE BUSY
Germany, Preparing for Expected Ac-
tivity After War, Proposes to Fit
UP Offices in Trains.

Great business activity is expected
in Germany after the war, according
to Talbot ]. Albert, Uncle Sans con-
sui at Brunswick, Germany, and the
question is being discussed in the
Brunswick press as to the advantages
of having special compartments in the
cars of express trains for business
men. 1t is suggested that these com.
partments be fitted up with table
covered with green CLOTH suitable
chairs, writing materials and other ap-
propriate articles, this special service
being analogous to sleeping and dining
car service. 1t is believed that there
will be demand for such cars, and
that business men will gladly pay an
extra fare for the conveniences fur.
nished.
The chambers of commerce of two
cities have already sent the Minister
of public works petitions for the intro
duction of this improvement, the rail.

trial Commission report for the work
Of the commission up to Aug. lS
shows the commission has allowed and
settled eight cases for permanent dis
ability of employees by accident. The

The second amount allowed for per
manent disability was for $4,000, the
next $11,500, followed by $4,000 and
$4,000 for five of the specific cases
and smaller amounts in the other
three.
In the first year of the commits
sion 10 deaths came to its attention
and all but forty-five claims for COM
pensation were approved
In these forty-five cases the COM
mission refused to approve the claims
on the showing made that the en-
ployers were not entitled to adjust
ment.
In its existence the commission has
settled amicably sixty disputes. Some
of these were small but others in

In the compensation department 49,
220 cases of accident have been re-
ported. About 20 per cent of these
exceeded the three weeks waiting

The total number of claims in the
process of adjustment at the present
time are 1000 with an estimated num-

CHE eight cases of permanent disabil-
ity were handled by the commission.

ICHTHYOL SUPPLY ASSURED
Source Of Material in Austrian TyroI
Cut Off by War, but American
Genius Finds Substitute.

Breathe easy once again. You won't
have to go without your ichthyol, even
though the European war has cut off
the usual source of supply. But, pos
slbly, you haven't noticed the short
age In ichthyol, or maybe, again, you
don't know whether ichthyol is some
thing to eat or something to wear.
Ichthyol is an asphaltic material
which is employed as an antiseptic
medicament. Before the war 1t was
imported from Europe. 1t is derived
from n bituminous rock, filed with
fossil fish, that is found in the Aus
trian Tyrol. American imports had in
creased from 24000 pounds in 1910 to
60,000 pounds in 1914, but dropped off
in 1915 to less than 25,000 pounds.
1t looked as If the war would de-
prlve the United States CT this mate
rial, but, prompted by necessity, Amer
lean genius has, in this case, as in
many others, found something "just as
good"
So far as known, there are in the
United States no deposits of asphaltic
material of the peculiar type from
which ichthyol is derived, but Ameri.
can chemists have solved the problem

substitutes for ichthyol, prepared from
domestic materials by synthetic meth

the district schools are poor, financial
ly, an appropriation of 81, 100 from the
weak district" fund has been made
by Mrs. Mary c. G. Bradford, state
superintendent of public instruction.
The sum of $500 will go to each dis
trict in the county. The special fund
was created in order that the state
might help small districts where
there are only a few taxpayers. Mrs.
Bradford received application from
Mrs. Lille o. Baker, superintendent
Of schools in Pueblo county, a re-
quest for superior school, tablet for
the Nepeska school. The school, un-
der the standardization system, has
received a rating of 95 per cent. 1t has
teacherage, steam heat, baths, two
large well-lighted and well-ventilated
rooms, play-rooms, kitchenette and
playground apparatus. This is the
twelfth school which has been de-
clared a superior" school in the
state, the highest grade attainable.
