friction in the least possible time? When

three workers clear off the table" each

to be got is there always a dispute as to
who shall make the dessert and who
shall prepare the vegetables and who
shall set the table and who shall do
everything? Usually there is a good dea,
of confusion about Homework where
there are several to do the tasks 40
that it usually takes two persons more
than half the time to do the housework
that it would one, and three persons take
much more than a third Of the time that
it would take any one of the three to do
the same amount of work.
This is because there is lack of team,

Important Ruling in
Industrial Accident Case

Eben F. Littlefield, chairman of the
Industrial Accident commission. Mon
day handed down a decision in the
case of Raffaele Russo, Portland, ap-
| plicant, VS.. John Kern & Son, Port
land. employer and Maryland Casualty
Co.. Baltimore, insurer, ordering that
the physicians bills, not exceeding
| $50, be paid and compensation of $479
for one week of disability, be awarded.
| This case comes to the commission on
an agreed statement of facts signed by
the attorneys for petitioner and re-
spondents, together with request that
| an examination and report be made by
an impartial physician.
| 1t Is admitted in the agreed state
| ment that Raffaele Russo, the appH-
; cant, was employed on Feb. IA, 1916, by
| the respondent as a common laborer:
| the agreed weekly wage being SO and
| that on Feb. q, 1916, Russo acting un-
der the instructions of his employer,
was chopping wood in a henhouse
On Feb. 81, 1916, while chopping wood
the applicant found that the fingers of
both hands were frozen down to the
proximal joints, and due to such injury
did not work at any trade from Feb. 81
1916, until March 10, 1916, on which date
he returned to work for the respondent
| On Feb. 81, 1916, there was no heatin.
apparatus in the building in which the
respondent was working. Russo was
wearing cotton gloves and the temper
| allure on that date ranged from zero
to ID degrees above.
The testimony Of the impartial ply
stefan shows that the injured employ
| ees fingers have practically the same
strength as that of a normal man, but
that there is but little, il any, sensation
OF touch from the proximal joints to
the finger tips, all fingers on both
hands being thus affected.
In his application for adjustment of
claim the injured employee represents
, the period OF disability as three weeks
from date of injury, but does not pray
for further compensation for loss OF
sensation, although it is argued by his
attorney that this loss entities the an
plicant to an award other than for the
period Of q week, claiming that there
| are but few occupations at which he
can procure employment at his former
| wage. The law does not provide for
an injury causing loss Of sensa-
ton to the sensory nerves and this
contention Of the applicant is not to be
considered.
It Is claimed by the respondent that
freezing cannot be called an .injury
arising out Of and in the course Of the
employment, therefore the question Of
the intent Of the Legislature is raised
