'E5w three little phalangers had
curled up in the corner of tree far
away from here. They had sosne straw
beds which they thought were espe-
cially fine and they we're talking.
'Their names were Polly Phalanger,
Peter Phalanger and Patrick Phalan-
ger, and their mother thought their
names sounded very well together.
at was a good thing, too, that they
had other names beside their last one.
for 1t would be pretty hard to have to
say Phalanger all the time"
Indeed 1t would" agreed the chill
dren, nodding their heads. do you
ever have trouble saying IT, Daddyf"
! well, 1 am glad to say Polly and
Peter and Patrick instead" Daddy adj
mitted.
The children laughed and Daddy
smiled.
swell, as I said before" he contin-
ued, "they were all talking. 1t was
Peter who was speaking at the time.
ADO you know he said, that people
think airships are very wonderful?
/ They always look up in the sky when
they see one. They get stiff necks
looking at. them, and they think they
are marvellous sights"
"who told you all thisr asked
Polly.
"'Never mind said Peter. 4 know
what l am saying
"Do the people jump into the air

the youngest of the three.
"No,' chuckled Peter. They don't

Only q few can go up In airships. They
are most expensive and besides there
are folks who do not like to leave the
ground

great surprise.
"You don't mean to say s0T said
Patrick, In a questioning voice. he
thought he must seem surprised, too,

rick had been mapping through half
the talk and only awoke when some
one said something in a high-pitched
voice. He was very young and fuzzy
and sleepy
"'Why don't they like to leave the

don't like to 60 up into the sky, but ]
love to ffyr And she spread her own
private airships.
"'Oh,' said Peter, they think that
the minute they get their feet OF the
ground they are going to drop. You
see they have to depend on these little
airships to carry them. II they had
their airships attached like we did-it
would be different then

"'Goodr exclaimed Polly and Peter
You are getting to be big phalanger.
And Patrick looked very happy.
"Tt seems to me- continued Peter
that it is just as fine to have private
hirships as 1t is to have private auto

trains attached to us. Wouldn't folks

GOVERNOR GUNTER CALLS SPECIAL
LEGISLATIVE SESSION FOR JULY 18
Raising Funds For the State Be First Object Sought;
Eight Important Subjects Enumerated for Consider
Including a Home Guard Maintain
Order and For Use in Patrol Duty.

Governor julius C. Gunter has is
sued call for a special session of the
Colorado general assembly to convene
at noon, Wednesday, July 1s. Re-
Gently the governor appointed a spe-
cial committee of citizens to assist him
in drawing bills and to advise as to
matters to be considered. Raising of
funds to defray state war expenses
will be the first legislation of import
ance. 1t is estimated about S2,250, 900
will be needed for this purpose, to be
secured by special taxes and issuing
of bonds.
There are eight items enumerated
in the governors call, as follows:
First-To provide. either by the is
suance of bonds or by taxes, or both,
for paying the expenses which have or
may be incurred for the raising, main
tenance, equipment and preparation of
the national guard of the state for fed
eral service, and to provide for paying
all other expenses arising out of the
matters and things hereinafter speci-
fically referred to, and to make appro-
prfations therefor.

CONFERENCE OF INDUSTRIAL BOARDS
AND COMMISSIONS IN COMPENSATION
Three National Meetings Have Held Devise Ways More
Uniform Administration of Various State Laws and
Unravel Puzzing Problems; Again
n Boston During This

The beneficial effects upon both en-
ployers and employees resulting from
the practical operation of workmen's
compensation laws in the various
states have become SO generally rec
ognized that there is little likelihood
of a return to the old method of en-
ployers' liability with the attendant
costly litigation, its delays and disap-
pointments, and the bad feeling there
by engendered. Thirty-seven states,
the territories of Alaska and Hawaii,
and the federal government now have
worlsmen's compensation laws. AS
might be expected, there is lack of
uniformity in the Legislation, and it
was thought desirable by some of
those charged with the duty of admin
istering these laws that an organiza-
ton should be formed for the purpose
of bringing together administrative
officials to discuss the Interpretation
of the laws and the puzzling problems
of administration and to adopt, so far
as possible, uniform practices and
statistics. Accordingly on April IA
and Is, 1914, Representatives from sew
eral newly created industrial accident

Second-To provide a guard or force
to maintain order in the state.
Third-To provide for the conserva-
ton and distribution of the food sup
ply, and the increase of production.
Fourth-To permit state banking in
stitutions to enter the federal reserve
system.
Fifth-To provide funds for such
other needs and uses of the state as
have arisen or may arise out of the
war.
Sixth-To provide for the payment
of warrants already issued on account
of the national guard of the state in
the year 1916.
Seventh-To provide for the support
and maintenance of the state soldiers
and sailors home at Monte Vista.
Eighth-To provide for the expenses
of the special session hereby called.
Some Questions Withheld.

ter does not attempt to recommend any
specific legislation, desiring to with

boards and commissions met at Lam
sing, Mich, and formed the national
association of industrial accident
boards and commissions.
AS means of carrying out the pur-
poses of this association three con-
ferences have since been held. The
first, a special meeting, was held in
Chicago January II and 13, 1915. This
meeting was devoted largely to dis
cussion of standardization of accident
statistics.
At the second annual meeting, held
in Seattle, Wash, September 80 to
October 2, 1915, the province of Onta-
rio, Canada, was received as mem
Der and the title of the association
was changed to the international as
sociation of industrial accident boards
and commissions. The most import
ant action taken at this second annual
meeting was the adoption of the ten
tative report of the committee on
statistics and compensation insurance
cost and the continuance of this COM
mittee.

1916. The proceedings of this meet
ing are published in full in bulletin
21O, just issued by the bureau of labor
statistics of the United States depart
ment of labor. Among the resolutions
adopted by the association at this
meeting was one requesting the bu-
reau of labor statistics to publish from
time to time the proceedings of the
conventions and conferences of the as
sociation. Another most important ac-
tion at the Columbus meeting was the
election of the United States commits
sioner of labor statistics as secretary
treasurer of the association.
At this conference addresses of time
ly interest were made covering such
subjects as the conflicts between fed
eral and state Jurisdictions in COM
merce cases, merit rating in work
mems compensation insurance, the why
and how of uniform industrial accident
statistics for the United States, the
use of accident statistics for accident
prevention, educational work in acci-
dent prevention, the theory and prac-
tice of compensation, a comparison of
the methods of dealing with perma-
nent partial disability cases, Ohio's ex-
perience with state insurance, the re-
iation of workmen's compensation to
old age, health, and unemployment in
surance. As part of the meeting the
first sessions of the newly organized
medical section was held, and a safety
committee was organized to form the
nucleus of proposed safety section
later indorsed by the association, to
advance the promotion of accident pre-
vention.
Boston was selected as the place for
the next convention, to be held during
the third week in August, 1917.
