JUSTICE 70 RINJURED ALIEN.

Workmen's compensation laws are
probably adequate In number and
scope, but for an alien laborer, with
out influence, to set the machinery Of
justice in motion is sometimes a diff
cult task, as is shown by the follow
ing letter from naturalized German
miner, married man with six chill
dren, who has lost the saving of ten
years in a futile effort to get compen-
sation for injuries received while per-
forming hazardous work for a Texa
coal company.
He was first injured in 1915, he says,
due to the company's neglect to fur
nish wood to shore up his shaft.
Though i'll for nearly two months,
however, they refused him compensa-
ton. His next injury was a severe
rupture, also the fault of the company,
as they had taken away his assistant,
obliging him to push his heavy cart
alone. In this case, they paid him for
time lost, but refused to reimburse
him for his operation and hospital ex-
penses.
81 sued them," he goes on to say,
but my case was postponed by the
company. which owns all the land and
rights around here. This was in
March. When my case came up in
November, my lawyer was 10 minutes
late, and it was postponed again. Be
fore my case came pp again the next
March. the company treated my wit

BANNER YEAR FOR ALL
WATER SPORTS IN 1920.

Records show that 1920 was BAH
ner year for all classes OF water
sports and particularly for motor
boating.
In the racing field, it is said that
there were more regattas and racing
events than ever before, and the pros
poets for 1921 are that this interest
will steadily increase.
During the war interest in motor
boating, and in boat racing, necessar-
lily Jagged because of the more import
ant work to be done, but since the
close of the great conflict interest in
the sport has steadily increased and
the past season shows motor boating
on firmer and better basis than ever
before.
In many western cities the revival
of interest was most notable This was
true in a marked degree at Peoria, Ill,
always recognized as a Western cen
ter. War interest had temporarily
killed boat racing at Peoria. but in
1920 that city staged come back
which attracted attention all over the
country. In Labor Day regatta there
were about thirty race boats most OF
which were owned in Peoria or al
nearby towns on the Illinois River.
For 1921. according to L. E. Selby
owner of Miss Margaret, one OF the
Illinois River class champions. there
will be more racing boats in Peoria
than in amy other year since the in
ception of the sport. The great results
accomplished during the past season
has stirred the interest Of all the old
river fans and Of many new ones. and
at least two dozen racing boats are
being built at the present moment for
the early spring season.
Several OF the Peoria leaders are
arranging TO attend the New York
Motor Boat Show December 10th to
18th, TO make arrangements to con-
tract for the power plants for their
racers. as the exhibits there will in-
clude practically all Of the well known
high speed engines suitable for speed

CHILDREN'S FUND
is ACTUALLY
SAVING LIFE.
American Relief Administration Is
Doing q Great and Good Work
Among the European
g.. Children.

Chicago, Ill. - Telling statistics
showing that Herbert Hoover, through
the American Relief Administration
European Children's Fund of which
he is chairman, is actually saving the
child life of Eastern and Central Eu-
ropean counties have just been receiv-
ed from the cities of LODI and Krakow
in Poland
In the city of Krakow the vital sta
tistics show for the year ending July
/, 1919, 3,343 births and 1898 deaths,
of children of 15 years and under. The
following year during which the child
feeding stations were in operation
there and the children and nursing
mothers were receiving the supple
mentary American meal provided by
the American Relief Administration
the number of births increased to A.
1854 but instead of corresponding in
crease in the number of deaths of chill
dren there was an actual decrease, the
child mortality under Is years having
dropped to 1881.
In LODI the figures are less striking
but still significant In the ten months
preceding the beginning Of the child
feeding under American auspices on
May 1, 1920, the number of births to-
tailed 4,515 and the number of deaths
of children of Is and under, 1888. For
the ten months from July l, 1919 to
May 1, 1920 the number of births had
more than doubled but the number Of
child deaths had not. The actual fig
urges for that period are births 1888,
and the deaths 4109. Had the ratio
of births to child deaths that prevail
ed the corresponding ten months of
the previous year been maintained for
the ten months ending in May, 1920,
the lumber of deaths would have been
not 4,1S9, but 5,423. Lest any one
should think from the above that the
need of the relief work among the
children of Poland has passed and

INTELLIGENT UNSELFISHNESS.

Christmas gifts are neither more
nor less than translated thoughts. A
selfish or careless Christmas gift is
worth no more than a selfish or a
careless thought to the receiver. no
matter what its cost in money may
have been. That is why many young
ster and many grown up also, finds
Christmas day time of bitter dis
illusionment and disappointment.
Presents bought in selfish hope of
return. or in careless fullfillment of
obligation, or even for the fleeting
pleasure of the moment can never
bring real appreciation to the receiv-
er or real pleasure to the giver. For
they lack the essential elements of
good will" and thought for the future.
None of US has had so much that we
do not desire those dear to us to have
more. None of us has lived so sue
cessfully that We do not desire others
to avoid the mistakes we have made
The successful Christmas gifts are
those which are based not on the self
ish pleasure of the moment but on
thought and care for the future. None
of us knows the future, but each of us
hopes for the future for those near tC

that that country is now on a helathy
footing a brie fstudy of the following
statistics furnished by the health de-
partment of the city of Warsaw will
demonstrate the fallacy of the conclu-
sion:
In 1914 the years of the outbreak of
the war the deaths of children under
one year of age for the city of War
saw numbered 1910. In 1919 the num-
Der had risen to 2S09, an increase Of
more than 20 per cent In the same
period the number of children of ten
years and under dying from tubercu-
losis had increased. from 4S0 to 1901,
an increase Of l25 per cent. Last win
