COMPENSATION DECISIONS.
Courts of California and New York
Reach Opposite Conclusions.

Reach Opposite Conclusions.
The supreme court of California has
decided that an employer in that state
is not liable under the workmen's com
pensation law for injuries to an en-
ployee which he received as the result
Of being tickled by a fellow workman.
Judge Melvin, writing the opinion,
pointed out that an accident for which
the employer may be held responsible
must be one resulting from a risk
reasonably incident to the employ
ment." The court said in part:
THAT the act of his fellow servant
was but momentary and without NAL
ice and not in excess of the usual in
tercourse between servants makes no
difference. Suppose the fellow employ
ee had tripped him up Intentionally,
but playfully. Would any one contend
that the employer was liable because
his servants perhaps entirely with
out his knowledge had established a
custom of tripping one another? We
cannot see how this assault differed
from any other Flint was hyper
aesthetic in that he was peculiarly
sensitive to tickling. This was known
to his associates. His fellow servant
who tickled him as he was going down
a stairway carrying a bucket in his
hand may have been an amiable per
son who merely intended a bit of
rough play, but unless he was an idiot
he must have seen that such a prank
was attended with some danger =
We cannot see that it is our duty to
measure the dynamics of assaults and
to hold that the master must be charg-
ed with foreseeing and insuring against
those which are playfully intended and
which may be sanctioned by a custom
existing among his servants.
The New York court Of appeals
reached an opposite conclusion in the
practically similar case of In re Heitz.

Stage Set to Lift Prohibition on Long
Hours For Women.
At Albany the stage is set for the as
sassination of the labor law. The can
ners. who do not think ifty-four hours
a week are enough for q woman to
work. propose to force legislation to
lift the prohibition They tried it last
year, but failed Now however, it Is
said the necessary votes are lined up.
The measure the Gamers are most
anxious to have passed is the Bewley
bin. which permits the working of en-
ployees overtime to make up for
breakdowns in machinery. 1t turns
over to the state industrial commission
the power to regulate such overtime
The fact that at least one member Of
the commission is a manufacturer and
active in the affairs Of an association
that is behind the Bewiey bill does not
necessarily mean anything 1t is in
teresting, though
1t must be apparent to the dullest
how the camerS can make a joke of

it. The Beuey bin puts a premium

THE WAY TO SUCCEED.
Charles Nj. Schwab's Advice to Young
Men Starting to Work.

In his book Succeeding With What
You Have" Charles NJ. Schwab says:
when I took charge Of the Carne-
gle works at Homestead there was
young chap employed there as water
boy. A little later he became a clerk.
| had habit of going over the works
at unusual hours, to see how every
thing was moving. | noticed that no
matter what time / came around |
would find the former water hoy hard
at work. | never learned when he
slept.
Now, there seemed to be nothing
remarkable about this fellow except
his industry, The only way in which
he attracted attention was by working
longer hours and getting better results
than any one else. 1t was not long
before we needed an assistant super
intendent The ex-water boy got the
Job. When we established our great
armor plate department there was not
the slightest difference of opinion
among the partners as TO who should
be manager 1t was the youth with
the penchant for overtime service.
To-day that eX-water boy. Alva g.
Dinkey Is head of great steel COM
pany and very wealthy. His rise was
predicated on his willingness to work
as long as there was any work to be
done
IF a young man entering industry
were to ask me for advice | would
say: Don't be afraid OF imperiling your
health by giving a few extra hours
to the company that pays you your
salary. Don't be reluctant about put
ting on overalls Bare hands grip
success better than kid gloves. Be
thorough in all things. no matter how
small or distasteful The man who
counts his hours and kicks about his
salary Is self elected failure
1T may be in seemingly unimpor.
tant things that man expresses his
passion for perfection yet they will
count heavily in the long run When
you go into your customary barber
shop you will wait for the man who
gives you n little better shave, little
trimmer hair cut Business leaders
are looking for the same things in
their Offices that YOU look for in the
barber shop.
THE real test of business greatness
is In giving opportunity to others.
Many business men fail in this be-
cause they are thinking only Of per-
sonal glory"

UNGR0UND GRAIN BREAD.
IL Saves Labor and Waste and Gains
In Nutritive Value.

In Nutrtive Value.
One reason advanced for the high
cost Of food abroad is the shortage in
manual labor, result Of the war An
ingenious method Of dispensing with
large part of this, hitherto consider
ed necessary before the grain in the
field can appear in the form Of bread
upon the table. has been invented In
Italy.
According TO Agricoltura Toscana
an excellent bread, not only highly
nutritious, but delicious in flavor and
appetizing OF taste, is made from
wheat which has never been milled.
1t is important that the grain should
be OF good quality and free from for
eign material. 1t is first carefully
washed and sifted and then placed in
tepid water to soak for period of
from forty-eight to sixty hours, nc
cording to the degree Of hardness. At
the end Of this time 1t has become
"vitalized"-i. e., 1t has begun to
germinate. and has therefore become
gone profound chemical notifications
When the proper degree Of vitaliza-
ton has been attained the grain is
fed directly into a kneading machine,
where 1t IL triturated and kneaded
till 1t is ready TO be nodded into loaves.
It is then allowed 70 ferment, or rise" !"
for the proper length Of time, where
upon 1t is placed in the bakers oven.
The bread is gray In color and, being
made of the whole grain. is much rich
err In food value than bread from -four,
containing a higher percentage Of min
eral salts, lecithin and vegetable pep
sin. There is saving not only In
manual labor. but In wastage, so that
a given weight Of grain yields con
siderably larger number of loaves
when unground than when converted
into -four Another advantage is that
there is less risk OF adulteration than
when flour Is used
