NEW RULING IN
ACT
Supreme Court Holds That
Burden of Proof Rests
on Plaintiff.

In an important decision, the n-
preme court of Florida, at Tallahas-
see, has held that in cases where the
accident was covered by the federal
employers liability act, the burden
of proof does not rest upon the de-
PENDANT. but upon the plaintiff.
1t is the case of the L. & n. Rail-
way VS.. L. NJ. Rhoda, administrator,
who brought suit against the cor
poration mentioned in the sum on
$4,000, for the death of Clarence
Rhoda, found on the L. & N. railroad
track at Flomaton in 1912, evidently
killed by an engine. Nobody saw
him killed or were acquainted with
any of the circumstances surround
ing the death.
The circuit court of Santa Rosa
county held in 1916 that the railway
company must show that If was no
negligent, and that the plaintiff wa
NOT REQUIRED to show that the com
pany was negligent.
It is understood that the suprem
court of Florida has decided to tn
contrary, and holds that when the &C

"WASTE SAVING CONTEST"
NETTED SCHOOLS NEAT SUM

ATLANTA Ga, Jan. 29-An average
of six hundred dollars a week for
four weeks is the nice little bit of
pin money" raised by the public
schools of Atlanta in a waste paper
saving contest just closed, and is a
striking demonstration of what can be
done by the schools in any community
both as money-making proposition
adm as an aid to reducing the cost of
newspTint paper. which has become
the most serious problem that ever
confronted the newspapers of the
country.
Conducted here by one of the At
lanta newspapers along the lines ap-
proved and recommended by the
American Newspaper Publishers as
sociation, the contest was not only a
remarkable success from the stand
point of paper collected and sold by
hme schools, but afforded a most
wholesome lesson in thrift and con-
servation, which all thoughtful per-
sons agree is a lesson that Americans
should learn.
Waste paper can be used as a sub
stitute for certain chemicals used in
the manufacture of cheaper grades of
paper, thus releasing these chemicals
for use in the manufacture of news
print and finer grades of paper and
reducing the cost of newsprint in pro-
portion to the quantity of waste pa
per saved.
