panies and given to Lloyd's was the
insurance commissioners answer that
the cost to the State would have been
S3S,000 additional.
Senator Beidleman, recalled the fight
made two years ago to place the min
ers within the provisions of the COM
pensation act. He submitted that
there should be no backward step and
that In the. matter of protecting them
the risks should be given insurance
companies within reach and absolu-
tely reliable as to ability to meet OBJ
legations and make good in the matter
of differences, if any.
Senator Ware spoke for the insur-
ance commissioner, disclaiming a per-
sonal interest In the bill, but desiring
protection in case of another disaster
similar to the Eddystone tragedy.
The bill passed by vote of SO to Z.

SCHOOLS URGED
TO WORK FARMS
State Board of Education Asks
Army of Students to Help
in Food Production

Following a meeting yesterday the
State Board of Education has issued
the following statement:
'The State Board of Education, con-
vinced of the imperative need of hus-
banding all the resources of the Com
monwealth, urges upon the school Of
ficials and the great army of pupils
who have talent or capacity for SER
vice of any type, the patriotic duty of
making their contribution in this hour
of national need. Since there is great
scarcity of help on farms and since
the school code provides that directors
may excuse the absence of pupils for
urgent reasons, therefore be it
Resolved, that in the opinion OF
the State Board of Education during
the present crisis the need of pupifs
service on the farm and in trucking
and gardening and allied industries
should be construed as valid excuse
for abence from school and that in
such cases compulsory attendance
should not be enforced against any pu-
pill for the time during which he may
be employed in work upon the farm
and in the garden.
Bet it further received that the pu-
pills in thepublic schools above the
age of twelve years, whose standing
is such that there will be no question
of their promotion or graduation and
who may regularly engage in agri-
culture or industry, shall have these
facts considered in lieu of the full
completion of the terms work, this
provision to apply only to the work
of the term ending June, 1917. School
authorities are urged to assist pupils
in making up work essential to pro-
motion; this right to promotion to
be based upon the ability to do the
work fthe next grade and
Bet further resolved, that
State Board of Education, through 10
proper officers conduct a careful sur
vey of the industrial and agricultural
schools of the State for the purpose
of ascertaining in what way they may
contribute through their equipment,
machinery and products during the
continuance of the present war"

METzGER STOPPED BY GUARD

William Metzger, secretary and
treasurer of tile Commonwealth Trust
Company, was stopped this morning by
guards under the Cumberland Valley
Railroad bridge. Mr.. Metzger, who lives
at SO1 South Front street, was on his
way to the bank. At the time he had
morning paper and a small penknife
in his hand. After considerable ex-
planning Mr.. Metzger was allowed to
continue on his way. The guard who
stopped him said he had mistaken the
paper and knife for pencil and white
paper, and that he thought Mr.. Metz
ger was making a sketch.

HOW TO USE TIRE DOUGH-

Tire dough-" says c. II. Claudy in
the Woman's Home Companion, "is
substance partially composed of
raw rubber and partially composed of
semi-vulcanized rubber. 1t hardens
when exposed to air. 1t is applied to
cuts in tires first by cleaning out the
cuts with gasoline and then stufing
dough in with knife, very much as
one would put putty in a hole. BY
treating cuts in tires in this way and
letting the tires stand overnight, the
dough hardens and amalgamtes itself
with the rubber of the tire, thus pre-
venting sand, gravel and water from
getting in these little cuts and rotting
out thefabric."
