Thus, agricultural workers. domestic
servants and casual employees are al
most everywhere excluded Also
there Is an important group of acts
which apply only to list of employ
ments declared to be especially haz-
al dous, although in practice they may
be no more hazardous than others not
included.
The result of these limitations is to
restrict the benefits Of compensation
very often to only rather small
fraction OF the total number of work.

Similarly striking are the differ
ences between the several acts as re-
CARDS the benefits paid in case of In
jury. Thus, in the case of a fatal in
jury occurring in the state of Oregon
the widow and children may receive
in total as much as sl3,4S0, whereas
In Vermont the maximum would be
$3.50, and under the Oklahoma act
no benefits at all are paid in case of
death. For loss of a hand the Alaska
act may pay as much az $2,640, while
the maximum for the same injury in
Colorado Is but $3.50. Again, in Ore

D. 5. FINDS LABOR
PAY INADEQUATE

Washington, March 24.-The as
sumption that the large majority of
workers In the United States are fully
insured against the loss and suffer-
ing occasioned by industrial accidents.
because thirty-fve states and terrific
ries, with rs per cent OF the employed
population have workmen's compen-
sAtion legislation, is unjustifed. This
fact was brought out in a statement
issued today by the bureau of labor
statistics of the United States depart
ment OF labor.
The American people have taken
the words "workmen's compensation"
at their face value, the bureau says.
ana have overlooked the fact that
much OF the legislation is far less COM
prehensive than the mere titles would
indicate.
No state compensation act covers
all employees. In the tirst place most
OF the acts are elective. Employers
who do not accept are penalized. but
In spite of this there are always a
number who refuse to elect. In the
second place. all Of the acts purposely
exclude certain classes of employees

Models OF Spring Suits.


Possibly because of the reported
Improvement in the demand for spring
suits many of the local waist and
dress concerns are going to great
lengths to produce attractive models
with which TO tempt buyers. One
natty model shown by a well-known
house is of green Jersey silk. the
straight-line skirt finished with a
front and back panel nd set off by a
black patent leather belt. 1t also has
deep sailor collar of white. notched
in the back like an inverted V. With
it is offered a green walking stick with
the curved handle and tip in white.
Another model. of a semi-sports order,
shows a straight line plain skirt of
crepe de chine set off with three rows
of narrow black velvet ribbon just
above and below n wide inserted band
of fancy printed sport silk The effect
is unusual, but attractive.

some queer tricks. Once a night
Waterman left pair Of magic 60

he remembered this. He went to get
them and put them In the police sta

would take a shoemaker to tell them
