man under the Workmen's Com
pensation Act of 1919 is intended to
compensate him for his loss of ca
pacity to earn, which is measured by
the amount earned by him before
the injury; in the varying conditions
of work. a period of employment
must be taken sufficiently long, to
obtain fair average of his earnings
as basis of computation, and to
show the variations in his earning
power incident to the employment.
BY paragraph TX of section one
(P. L. 1919. chap. 238) three meth
DDS of computing the average
weekly wages, earnings or salary
of an injured employee are stated;
these methods are not to be applied
choice, but are to be applied in the
order stated, to the facts as they ex-
list in the particular case. upon the
principal Of resorting to the best evil
dence .obtainable in determining the
employees average wage.
If the chairman Of the industrial
accident commission applies wrong
rule of law in computing the average
weekly wages of the claimant, or
finds any essential fact in favor of
the claimant without proper EVIL.
dence, the decree may be attacked
upon appeal ,.-tt,s,
+ In the instant case the chairman
applied the third method of compu-
tation. and found that having re-
gard to the previous wages, earnings
or salary of the. injured employee
and of other employees of the same
or most similar class, working in the
same or most similar employment in
the same or a neighboring locality"
the sum of twenty seven dollars rea-
sonably represented the weekly earn
ing capacity Of the injured employee
at the time of the accident in the
employment in which he was then
employed
I. HELD: error, because Cd the
amount of the previous wages, earn
ings and salary of the injured en-
ployee was not shown; hence it was
impossible to have regard to such
wages: and (2) because the only evil
dence Of wages of other employees
was the schedule of wages Of one
fellow employee. and the finding can
be supported upon the evidence only
by considering the wage schedule Of
this fellow employee for six months.

LOVE CONQUERS
DUTY IN 1.-THE
WOMAN"

A fascinating enchantress of the
tropics is Louise Glaum in J. Parker
Read, Jr.'s newest motion picture
production. "The Leopard Woman
which will be shown at the Augusta
Opera house on Friday and Saturday.
The picture is from the famous novel
by Stewart. Edward White and was
produced by Mr.. Read for Associated
Producers distribution.
John Culbertson, scientist explorer,
finds his way to the court of the saw
age king, M'Tela, blocked by a mys-
FERROUS and beautiful woman. She,
although he does not discover it I'M
til almost too late, has been sent by
her own government to keep him
from meeting M'Tela and concluding
friendly alliance before a great en-
issary from her own country can ac-
complish it. By every means within
a woman's power-cajolery, fiattery,
the temptation of sex-she seeks to
circumvent him. He goes blind on
the sands and. though she holds the
power to give him a drug that will
cure him. she refrains from doing so.
The climax of the story is said to be
among the most dramatic in screen
history.
Not only does the acting of Miss
Glaum stand out as her very best
work-and that, of course is saying a
lot-but the wonderful photography
and the scenes of tropic splendor
make it an epoch making picture.
In addition to this big feature, the
Opera house will offer other films to
provide a program rarely If ever
equalled in the Kennebec valley

MADAME Peacock is the greatest
thing l have ever DONE"
Such are the words used by Ma
dame ALA Nazimova herself in de-
scribing her latest great Metro fea-
ture which will be seen at the CO.
lonial theatre today. The play is the
screen version of the nationally read
story by Rita Weiman.
Il never felt more enthusiastic
about production than I do this

after viewing the last foot Of film in
her own private projection room
'T am sure it will rank with 'Reve-

Never before has Nine. Nazimova
been provided with story that gave
her greater opportunities for use OF
her genius than in this production
In the dual role of pampered star
who thinks only Of her own success,
then as the gifted but inexperienced
actress who rises to unexpected
heights almost against her own will,
she makes full use of her regal beau
ty and her ability to portray sym
pathetic part convincingly.
1t is the tale of a woman of UNI
disputed genius who. having climbed
to the top rung of the ladder of sue
cess. suddenly finds that there is
something else to be attained. The
opportunity to picture this some
thing else in new and touching
manner is presented with results that
can be appreciated only by those who
view the finished production.
The production has been given ev
erything needed TO make it thorough

enacts the leading role. All of the
settings are wonderful and the first
Of them required a mammoth theatre

worn by Nazimova are of the kind
that will make the women sit up and
take notice while the other appoint
ments are of the richest kind.

ture. the third episode of THE Yelled
Mystery" with Antonio Moreno will

The law does not sanction a find
