tions are clear enough to those who
are already familiar with military
terms, but probably require some ex-
PLANTATION for most of the men who
are reading this course.
The diagrams below show at a
glance what is meant. Figure 1 rep
resents a. small body of men in double
rank arranged in close order.
The space between men standing
side by side in rank is called the Sin
terval.' In the American Army the
standard interval is 4 inches, measured
from the elbow of one man to the
elbow of the man next to him. This
gives room enough for free movement
and the proper handling of arms and
equipment during drill. The space
between g. man in the front rank and
a man directly behind him in the rear
rank is called distance" The stand
ard distance is 40 Inches, measured
from the back of the man in front to
the breast of the man in the rear. In
practice intervals and distance are, of
course, not measured exactly. 4 we'll
trained soldier, however, soon learns
to gauge them with sufficient ac-
curacys and almost unconsciously
keeps himself properly placed in rela-
ton to the men about him Lit us essen

this in order to maintain reasonable
degree Of uniformity.

During drill in close order you will
retain "the position of a soldier" In
extended -order drill you will usually
though not necessarily, be allowed to
take the positions that ARE most COM
Portable.
You should get in mind at the very
beginning these distinctions between
close order and extended order. By
understanding them you will see more
clearly what is required of you and
how you can get most benefit out of
your training.

attention to the base runners ON
whom close plays are made by the
second baseman or the shortstop.
while the umpire at third can decide
not only the plays ON the runners, but
also pass Judgment on drives along
the foul line in left field Those who
advocate this plan argue that one
field judge should not look after all
of the bases and that the stationing
of umpires at the foul posts Is useless.

TRADE AGENTSOF
AUSTRALIA IN j. 5.
RECALLED HOME

Because OF economic conditiCnC
which make it impracticahle to con-
tinuc its offices in the United states,
the trade commission of New South
Wales has closed its headquarters in
New York and San Francisco for the
duration of the war, and has ordered
its commissioners to return homa.
This is the news brought TO Homo
lulu today by p. E. Quinn. Australian
trade commissioner. who is a passen
ger aboard a British liner.
I'VE have closed our representa-
tons in the United States altogether
said Quinn this morning. The de-
cfsion to discontinue the work temper
ariIy is due both to war conditions
and the embargo placed some time
ago on expectation OF nearly all Aus
tralian products to the United States.
The possibilities for trade between
Australia and the United States are
tremendous, and in the five years !
have been in New York ! have seen
trade between my country and yours
develop wonderfully. After the war
is over we hope to reopen all Of our
offices in the United States"
Quinn says Mel Nielsen will be
along in q couple of weeks from the
San Francisco office, which has also
been closed.

Finally, the supreme court of the

an action brought under the Washing

ton Of the defendant company that
the only redress available wax that
granted by the compensation act Of
1911 in the state OF Washington, whicn
abrogated suits at law in cases of in
jury to empEoyss." The act contains
provisions fixing the liability of, third

On appeal the circuit 60 1T Of appeals
reversed this decision, holding that
the fatal accident act had not been
repealed and was still available The
case was then taken to the supreme
court of the United States, which re-
versed the judgment Of The circuit
court of appeals as to the n.s2ure Of
tie law available, and affirmed the
Judgment of the trial court.
Previously the supreme c,urt OF
Washington state had decided that the
rev remedy-the compsnsati.,l act
was exclusive so far as injuries to EN-.
ployes were concerned, and the fed.
eral supreme court found that the cir
cult court Of appeals erred IN not ac-
cepting that decision. Quotations were
made from the state supreme court
in which it was said that it was in-
tended by the legislature that the new
remedy should be ample, full and
complete, reaching every injury sus-
tanned by any workman while engaged
in any such industry, regardless q
the causes of the injury or the neglN
gence to which it might be attributed"
Attorneys for respondent Meess
had suggested that such a construction
OF the act would cause it to conflict
with the equal protection clause of
the fourteenth amendment. but this
the federal supreme court declared
was a contention without merit.

Edition Honolulu star.Bulletin !:

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin:
Sir: II would rather seem "inex-
plicable" IL the legislature, as Judge
Ashford appears to have intimated,
should have passed the Workmen's
Compensation Act without having
provided for the giving Of that notice
which is a constitutional sine qua
non to its validity" or with any other
defect such as lawyers would be liza
BILE Immediately to spot. say this
because there was ample time be-
tween the original attempt to pass
such q law and the session Of 1915
to have enabled its trainers to avoid
any fatal defect in the final draft
AS to the nature Of the notice Judge
Ashford refers to, the published ex-
tracts from his decision do not specify
il.
Section q of the act declares that
no proceedings for compensation for
an injury shall be maintained unless
Q notice Of the injury shall have
been given to the employer as soon
as practicable after the happening
thereof" but evidently some other
notice" 10 what the Judge had in
mind. But, as already intimated,
there was ample notice" to the leg
islature Of the necessity OF caution
against the contingency Of flaws in
the measure. At the previous session
a compensation bill was rejected on
the recommendation OF the house ju-
dietary committee upon the grounds
that few Of many similar measures
In the states had thus far withstood
the judicial test and therefore that
two years should eIapse before Ha.
wall should embrace the reform then
almost universally demanded, not only
In the United States but throughout
the civilized world wherever IL had
not already been adopted. Germany
has a system of wprkmen's accident
insurance, in which employer and EN-.
pioye. contribute to q state fund and.
when the employee IL injured, the com
pensation IL settled between them in
court without interposition Of attor'
|neys, according to fixed rules.
Two Solutions Discussed t.
George X Vending, q California
lumber industry captain, in an ad-
dress before the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association at Gin
cinnati as far back as 1912, in ad-
yoeating workmen's compensation on
the European plan, mentioned that
statesmen In the federal congress and
IN the various states were trying to
solve the problem under the titles
OF both WaFkmen's compensation and
employers liability, Between the two
he drew the following parallel. tbs
side attempted to be adopted in Ha.
wall bsing the first mentioned:
BY Workmen's compensation We
make provision by law, without trial
by court, or jury, for specific and
absolute payment Tor the injury rel
csiyed, a. per legally scheduled rat.
Ing, the workman receiving prompt
payment without the expense incident

to why or by what cause the acct.

AMERICAN OUTPUT
OF SUGAR FACTORIES

AS long as the United States held
itself aloof from the war, its eRgi'
neers and manufacturers were very
busy-it would hardly be exaggera tiRS
to describe their business as a roaring
trade-in the design and production OF
more or less complete sugar factory
plants, mostly for Cuba where Ameri
can capital was very active in making
the most OF the good sugar prices the
war had brought along in its train. As
We have already pointed out. their
success in getting orders was greatly
enhanced from the fact that their
hitherto formidable competitors In
Europe were temporarily incapacitated
from competing for the business offer
ing. Now, however, We expect thai
with the entry OF their country into
the war the. levels will gradually get
adjusted to something nearer the old
time position. American engineers
will have other and more urgent calls
on their labour; il will become a car.
dinal necessity of the United States
to add very considerably to its defen'
siye resources and supplies, and its
engineers and manufacturers will es.
perienee, We doubt not, some OF the
restrictions if not endorsements
that their British contemporaries have
had to. put up with for nearly three
years. This necessity will not be with
out its advantages; III will enable after
war competition to start on more even
terms, and IL win no longer be possible
for the stigma to be leyeiled at Ameri
cans that they nave helped themselves
to our trade while we in Europe were
struggling for the peaceful existence
of the world; they have now thrown
themselves into the struggle with 4
zest which seems 70 augur we'll for the
results, and when competition is oncs
more resumed it will assuredly be free
from that touch OF bitterness thai
might have arisen IL the States had

Bessie, aged 10, and Joe, aged 70
gave the court q comprehensive ac-
count of the incident The two young
er children. Ruby. aged 10. and otto
aged 8, testified they killed their faith.

Each testified that Wilkerson fire.
quently swore at them, but that they
received whippings not more frequent

quaintance When given a double
barrelled shotgun with a request to
show the court how their father met
his death Ruby pointed the gun at a
hat hung on a chair while little Otto,
barefooted and chewing gum, calmly
pulled the trigger. Three times, the
little ones testified. they had gone to
their fathers room to kin him, only
to scruuy back to the kitchen from

ment of the older brother, the chill
dren said. they had nerved themselves

The registration figures from the
Vermont towns probably indicate the
population with q reasonable degree
of accuracy. If so, Bennington is still
easily in fourth place, in spite of the
claims of Brattleboro. ST. Johnsbury
and Montpelier There were 7S4 young
men registered in Bennington against
7O7 in ST Johnsbury, 500 in Brattle-
boro and 52G in Montpelier These fig
ures would indicate that Bennington
has at least 500 more people than St.
Johnsbury and 1900 more than Brat
tleboro. Montpelier even falls below
Colchester in which is located the
large village of Winooski and Colches-
ter is only eight behind Brattleboro.
From the character of their industries
too it would seem that both Brattle-
boro and St Johnsbury ought to have
more men in proportion to their size
than Bennington as bennington is so
largely a textile town with factories

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There 10
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an .initamed condition of the nlu-
rous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when 81 Is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to It's normal coRdt-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but infiamed condition

A Holstein bull calf sold at auction
at Worcester, Mass, n few days ago
fer $500. Yet there are people who
think that farming doesn't pay. one
of the chief reasons why some far
mers fail to make farming pay is be-
cause they keep stock that does not
return profit. II costs no more to keep
a good COW than it does a poor one
and after the first start it is actually
easier to grade up a herd than to let
il peter out to a point where it is
worth little or nothing. One bull calf
is worth $53,2OO while another is fit
for the, bologna factory.
