tio 'Sidiih VI 10y vs.. InrOpps Bed
ford county. While the testimony
shows that the deceased lost consid-
erable time in the period used in
calculating the average weekly
wages, there is nothing at all def
mite to show that any of the days
which the claimant did not work
were lost through no fault of his
own,.' says the decision.
Chairman Harry A. Mackey makes
an order for Benjamin Altenderfer,
Temple, to submit to an operation
for the removal of affected teeth,
in ruling upon claim against the
Reading Biscuit Company, Reading.
The claimant was hurt in the en-
ploy of the company and given COM
pensation. Immediately after he
went into the employ of another
concern, but was compelled to stop
work because of effects of the in
jury. The opinion says that he has
been able to handle lighter work
than that which he did when hurt
and that he should take steps to OBJ
tain relief Then he may apply for
change in the compensation order.
