 Judge Baker was somewhat of a josher when on the bench and on one occasion wrote an opinion reversing Justice Owen T. Rouse, an associate justice. The opinion ran something like this: "This cause is from the court of Mr. Justice Rouse, but aside from his there are other reasons why it should be reversed" The decision made quite hit and was even enjoy ed by Judge Rouse.

Have studied the proposed Com pensation Law No. 100 and find 1t one of the most comprehensive pieces of legislation ever proposed on the subject. It is far in advance of the same character of laws of Nevada and California, and in fact leads by far the enactments> of Ohio, New York and Massachusetts. Until there is a National Compensation Law enacted it will stand in the lead of all states. No workman or woman should fail to cast their vote for the measure.-An- son H. Smith.

"The law provides liberal scale of compensation for injured workmen and for the prompt payment of com pensation at frequent intervals. The provisions establishing a fund from which compensation payments are to be made constitute a desirable feature. The solvency of the fund is assured through adequate provisions to care for the catastrophe. hazard, and also for the revision of rates when experi- nece indicates the need."-Wm. A.

Nerve and Eye Strain.

Many nervous as well as other dis
eases are caused by incorrect illumin-
alton. The eye is a subject of prime
consideration in connection with our
health and happiness. Eye fatigue
spoils the disposition; as that is one
of the conditions given for inefficient
work, we find here again a reduction
in efficiency and cause for more loss
Of the workman's time. The first loss
was mechanical, the second is phys
ical; both, when reduced to a dollar
and-cents basis, show large percent
age over the cost of lighting that
would be required to eliminate them.
AS judgment is dependent upon per-
ception, and perception upon the sight,
then the laborer, to be efficient, must
be able to see fine details and small
objects at close range with sharpness
and distinction, to distinguish objects
at a distance with accuracy, and to
have clear perception Of all objects in
the intermediate space.

BOHEMTA'S NATIONAL
ASPIRATIONS

Unrest in Bohemia has been marked
for some time and the Czechs, who
comprise the great masses of the Bo-
hemian population of both Germany
and Austria, are looking forward to
the day when they will be a free peo-
pie once more. It is especially against
Austria that the hatred of the Bo-
hemians is directed.
1t was just a little over five CEN
turtles ago that the Bohemians in
augurated an instruction against
their imperial rulers which ranks
among the most remarkable in his
tory. The execution of Huss and
Jerome Of Prague, in 1415 and 1416,
aroused the people to rebellion, and
on Nov. 8, 1916, just 4O2 years ago
tomorrow, their anger took the form
Of open defiance. This era of the Hus-
site wars in Bohemia brought to the
front the immortal John Ziska, who
took the leadership in 1419. AL
though blinded, Ziska defeated all the
powerful enemies sent against him,
and On his death bed demanded that
drum be made of his skin to terrify
his enemies even after his death.
Ziska was old, bald-headed, one
eyed and hawk-nosed when he became
chieftain of the Bohemian rebels. He
called himself John Ziska, of the
Chalice, Commander in the Hope of
God of the Thorites." He soon prov
ed that he was more than a religious
fanatic, for when an army of a hun
bred thousand was sent against him
he routed and dispersed the forces of
the empire. Ziska's advocacy Of COM
munism alienated the Bohemian
mobiles and cost him much of his sup
port. Some Of the more fanatical Of
the religious enthusiasts called them
selves Adamites, and both men and
women went naked until Ziska sup
pressed them. In putting down the
Adamites Ziska lost his remaining
eye. He was then surrounded by
great armies on all sides, but defeated
them in turn.
After Zisla's death his followers d.
yided into factions, and they were
then defeated. Ever since the HUSTLE
wars, however, the Bohemians have
treasured, through centuries of war
and persecution, the great ideal of
human freedom and religious liberty
and they are today, in both religion
and politics, the most liberal of CEN

FAMOUS NEW YORK ORCHESTRA.
Women's All Wool

During the interim between the
end Of the music season last spring
and the beginning of this season, the
seventeen stars of the New York
Philharmonic's service flag have been
augmented by two new constella-
lions. During the summer, Willy
Schubert, first violinist, and George
Braun, in charge of the percussion in
struments, entered the service of the
United States and gave up their pos
itions with Americas Oldest orches-
II al organization, which plays here at
State street Casino on Saturday, Nov.
g. Both of the young musicians
joinedNthe navy.
Aside from the addition of players
who were engaged to fill the places
left vacant by these two enlistments,
there have been comparatively few
changes this season in the makeup
of the Philharmonic. The present
ensemble of the orchestra is the re-
suit Of the unceasing efforts of Josef
Stransky, the Philharmonica's distir g,
rushed leader, to secure the best
available man for every position held
by his ninety odd players,

Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin
Baker, both Engllshmen, were the en-
gineers who designed the great Forth
bridge In Scotland, and the building
was done by several large firms of
steel structural workers, under their
supervision. The outside length of
the bridge is s,O98 feet, the central
cantilever occupies 1920 feet, and the
two side cantilevers f,514A feet each.
The Roadway of the bridge at high wa
ter is $50 feet. The bridge was II
years in building and was opened in
March, 1890. The Forth bridge is
much narrower than the Brooklyn
bridge, but it exceeds it 25 feet in
span and is considerably longer in its
overall length.

DENIED EQUALITY OF SEXES
Men in 1918 Had Decided Views as to
Woman's Intellect and Her
Sphere of Duty.

There lies on the desk book pub
lished and sold by Moses Thomas,
Philadelphia, bearing the date Of 1913,
which makes it one hundred and five
years old. There are many strange
things in that book, which contains
selections From Foreign Reviews and
Magazines" all of which is claimed to
be ''the best thought of the ablest men
of the age" There is an essay at
lacking a French authoress who was
claiming an equality Of intellect Of the
two sexes. The reviewer remarks:
"Upon the whole, we do not think that
a little learning Is always a dangerous
thing in lady, so long as it has ref
erence to her condition of life and the
sphere of her duties.
That is as far as the world had got
at that time in the education of wom-
en-. About seventy years afterward,
when a woman became senior wrangler
at Oxford, which is the highest honor
in mathematics, there began change
of opinion concerning the quality Of
woman's intellect.
It was maintained in the entire
period by these "ablest men Of the
age" that the female intellect" was
entirely inferior to that of men, and
that her physical structure made it
impossible for her to comprehend the
great questions, such as that of war.
Since then woman has written the
greatest war hymn of the world.-St.
Louis Globe-DemOcrat.

WIGS ONCE THOUGHT SINFUL
Puritans Held That Men Had No
Right to Interfere With Dispense
tons Of Providence.

Having last night heard that Josiah
Willard had cut off his hair "a very
full head of hairy and put on Wigg,
went to him this morning. Told his
Mother what 1 came about, and she
called him. enquired of him what
Extremity had forced him to put off
his own hair, and put on Wigg? He
answered, none at all. But said that
his hair was straight, and that it
parted behind. Seem'd to argue that
men might as well shave their hair off
their head, as off their face.> l an
swered God seems to have or
dained our Hair as a Test to see
whether we can bring our minds to be
contented at his finding; or whether
we would be our own Carvers, Lords,
and come no more to him. Pray'd
him to read the Tenth Chapter of the
Third Book of Colvin's Institutions.
=. Told him that it was condemned
by Meeting of Ministers at North
ampton in Mr.. Stoddard's house when
the said Josiah was there. He
seem'd to say would leave off his
Wigg when his hair was grown. I
spake to his father of it day or two
after; he thanked me that had dis
cursed his Son, and told me that
when his hair was grown to cover his
ears he promised to leave off his
Wigg. If he had known of it, would
have forbidden him. His Mother
heard him talk of it; but was afraid
positively to forbid him lest he should
do it, and so be more faulty From
