 The cases in which this particular amendment would be uneful are not many in number but they do occasional ly arise. For example. case has been brought to our attention where man sustained an injury resulting in death and his wife is now an object of char ity She is not dependent under the | law as it now stands because she was not living with her husband, he having deserted her and she had not taken steps to have him compelled by court order tC contribute to her support because he hat | frequently promised her, through thu | daughter, a woman over IS and not de pendent at all upon her father. that h. would make contributions to her sup l port The existence of such condition as this is manifestly opposed to- sount

 the Piccinim case the supreme cour --.sIained an award to illegftimate chil dren on the ground principally, f no only, that these children were Insm bers of the family of the deceased. l might well happen that an illegitimat child would be living with its mothe and not with it's father, that he ha' promised to support the child but ha not done 30.

sUPT. EGAN OPPOSED
 TO MOUNTED CoNsTABULARY

The establishing of a mounted police constabulary such as is favored by the state and is provided for in a pro- posed bill to be submitted to rhe nex- general assembly is considered unnec- essary by Superintendent Thomas F. Egan of the state police, who. in com menting on the proposition pointed out that such a constabuiary would in effect be a duplication of the work now be- ing done by the state police and at such an excessive cost that, whatsoever ad- vantage such an organization might have in rural sections. it would be pro- hibitive.
 Despite the statements of proponents of the measure in Connecticut that the state constabulary would in no way af- feet the status of the state police force the ninth paragraph of the proposed bill which shall be construed as repeating all acts or parts of ac.s wlhch may conflict with it's provisions" would in ef feet mean the doing away with the pres ent organization of state police. for tho work of necessity corresponds with tha now being done by the state poNce.
 The proposed bill provides for an ap propriation of $500, 900 for the organlza tin and equipment of the consta5u 'ary although other estimates suggest tha $500, ,0oO is a minimum figure and tha  e350.oO0 or more would be the annua cost to the state. The force in the con stabulary would be ei-hty-six men a against a force of fifteen men now eIn ployed by the state police department for which an appropriation Of S59.ou was made for the fiscal year ending i June.

a number of the employers family dwell ing in his house. This provision was not in the original act but was added at the suggestion of this board at the ses- sion of 1915. We then believe that it was wise addition to make and the phrase being in the fBritisi Act was copied therefrom, thus bringing our statute more in harmony with their statute and mak- ing available decisions on that section of the act heretofore rendered by the British courts.
 now of the opinion that this phrase should be stricken out Many of the farmers of this state take out compen- sation policies, and farming. as expeTi- ence in this work has shown, is a haz- ardous occupation; some of the worst injuries which We see are from modern farm machinery. A young man living on his fathers farm and working on the farm, if he sustains an industrial acci- dent. is without remedy at present. Sound public policy in this day of dinin- ished farm production and rising cosN of living indicates that boys should be f encouraged to stay on the farm and the provision as 1t now exists is a direc
 discoura cement.

INJURED EAIPLoYEs RECEIVED
 oyER TOTE MILLIONS

Figures showing that s4,355,6S0 has been disbursed to injured workmen in Connecticut or for their medical treat ment during the past two years under awards made by the five compensation commissioners of the state, or agree ments approved by them, were submit ted to Governor Marcus H. Holcomb in the joint biennial report of the commits sioners, a copy of which has been re- ceived by Commissioner James J. Dono- hue of this city. This represents an in- crease of s1,272. .S61.75 over the disburse- ments made to labor during the previous two years.
 In addition to recommending several proposed amendments to the workmens Compensation law the commissioners call attention to wide discrepancies in the system of grading eye injuries and point to the need of a uniform system.
 The total of $4.3346S0 paid to in jured workmen was made. up as follows:
 Paid out by self-insurers in direct compensation awards S735.579.44
 For medical, surgical and hospital bills on account of injured employes. s557,- Ss5.95.
