DEPENDENCY IS
GIVEN RULING
Interesting Decision Presented
by the State Compensation
Board Today

The State Compensation Board in
Mackey has ruled in favor of compen-
sation for the widow of Stephen Miku-
lasko, an employe of the Carnegie
Steel Company, although she resided
in Chicago and was separated from
her husband. The woman was de-
serted by her husband because she
was an epileptic and he sent her a
small sum of money, since which time
she has been supported by q Chicago
charitable organization, as she has
been unable to work regularly.
Sentiment can play no part" in
constituting the compensation act, says
the chairman. There must be no
confusion between the marital rights
of either husband or wife under either
common or statutory law and the
obligations created by our Legislature
under the compensation law" The
woman was the most dependent of all
women, it is held. and while not sup
ported, had never renounced her de-
pendency, and was unable to support
herself The husband recognized the
dependency by sending SO week for
short time. The board holds that it
is case for compensation.
The board has upheld Referee
Kaluder in holding that John A.
Church, Burlington. n. J.. was entitled
to compensation from the Standard
Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry Com
pany, Bristol, because incapacity is
shown, and if he is able to obtain an
earning capacity the degree of dis
ability can be reduced.

Hair Often Ruined
by Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
it in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out
easily. removing every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and
it leaves the scalp soft. and the hair
fine and silky, bright. lustrous, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap. and
few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.

Only Four of Them on the
Job But They Are All 4
/ Right.
IS PATRIOTIC SERVICE
Congestion Here Has Been
Very Bad For Almost a
Month.

Four young men from the Fairmont
High school appeared at the Baltimore
and Ohio freight station this morning
and asked to be given q chance to
break up tie freight embargo at the To-
cal station. The four boys who ap-
piled for work are Frank Bowman, Cor
don Mapel, Floyd Wolfe and Harry
Wilson. Not a Normalite turned up.
Immediately they were given work by
General Freight Agent John w. An.
thony and this afternoon under the SUI
perviSion OF Foreman Hull are aiding
in clearing away the congested condi-
ton at the local station. The boys are
doing general work about the station
such as receiving. unloading and max
ing room :or the receipt of other ship
ments of freight. Freight Agent An.
thony stated this morning that because
of the nature of the work, no definite
figures could be prepared showing just
how mucn the four boys had done.
However, they are all good workers
and their assistance this morning has
been big factor i'll the movement to
relieve the freight embargo.
There is work at the station for at
least Is more boys from four to six
o'clock in the afternoon and all day on
Saturday. If this help could be 1e-
cured the embargo would. in the opin-
ion OF the authorities at the freight
station. soon be thing OF the past AS
it is the shortage of labor is big
handicap.
The embargo has existed since Sep.
TENDER !, partly because of the short.
age of labor and partly because the
goods are not taken from the freight
station.
1t has become the custom of a greu,
many local business men to take no
freight from the local station on Sat.
urdays. This causes u great conges.
ton for the men at the freight house
on Monday morning, setting them back
in their weeks work. This one fault
lies with the Fairmont merchants and
would greatly aid in clearing away the
present conditions. Load after load OF
freight came into the freight station
this morning but up until noon. there
had been but seven loads of freight
taken away.
If as much work is done toward re.
Neving the freight conditions in the
next few days as was done today, the
embargo will soon be broken. Another
appeal will be made to the students
of the Fairmont High school and the
Fairmont Normal.
