Pearson, make it far possible to get the folks into the kingdom than much discussion about the difficulties which beset the children of Israel their efforts to the promised land Sunday school workers could not do better thing, materially speaking, than preach against the sin of sloppy lanes and cry aloud the gospel of good roads,
 But good roads must lead to good church house. Fine sentiment has gotten in the way of good long enough The little red school and the little brown church in the vale rapidly giving way modern date departmental build

A WOMAN OFFICIAL

commissioner-the woman or the board. Her fellow commissioners, John Keegan and Charles Berrill. have suggested her for chairman, and President Harding is now consider ing the matter.
 From a conversation with Mrs. Brueggeman, you would say that she is a good choice for the business of judging. She has a strong sympathy for the person who is injured and for the family which is more often than not an equal sufferer. But she is at the same time conscientious. One of her duties is to see that the government is not taken advantage of.
 'I wish I didn't take it quite so seriously she said with a rather wistful smile. T dream for nights afterward of some of the cases we can't allow. You see there is no sp- peal from the decision of the com mission and that makes each case a great responsibility"
 Mrs. Brueggeman is one of the women who have been launched into important offices by the recent elec- tion. Before the war, she was a woman of leisure with a home in St. Louis-one of the women interested in civics. politics, and social prob . and when that responsibility was over she became interested in the approaching presidential campaign.
 Her Political Work
 She became a member of the Re publican national committee from Missouri and later was on the ma tional advisory committee of which Taft, Root and Beveridge were members. Her appointment to office she says came as a surprise But President Harding told her that she could do the work and that she would enjoy it. It seems the president was right.
 Mrs. Brueggeman explained that the government is progressive in its compensate law in that all of it's civil employees benefit by it. In the state laws men and women who are engaged in industries are practically the only ones who may be compen- sated by law and there is a variety of opinion in different states as to what industries are sufficiently haz- ardous to entitle workers to com pensation if they are injured
 In the government, a man who is struck by a falling object is entitled 10 file claim whether he is a clerk who was struck by a filing cabinet. or laborer hit by falling crate.
 The government law recognizes that there are dangers of office work, not so numerous or frequent as those of a machine shop, but still worthy of consideration.
 Typical office disabilities are often among the most difficult cases for the commission to decide If tuber- culosis is contracted and the patient claims that the disease developed because of insanitary or otherwise

 That's just the point" explained Ignatius" maybe we can run 1t with out gasoline"
 You've tried that several times, returned Mrs. Innbadd, 'and I'm tired of sitting in the thing couple hours on a deserted road while you go hunt ing for a towcar. Say, are you going cookoo? Whatdoya mean run It without gasoline?
 'I can run it off the sun, returned Ignatius.
 You have run it off everything else, including a coupla docks, snapped the wife. 'I wouldn't say you couldn't run it off the sun, moon, and stars from what I know of your driving skill. Which is all the more reason you should sell it before you get hurt

 Tn everything except my husband" said the wife. Before trying to run the flivver on this energy from the sun you'd better stand a few hours in the sun yourself and see if you can inhale little pep and ambition"
 "As usual" returned Ignatius. you are disposed to make light of all ser- ious matters
 Making light of the sun is SO simple I can't resist it." replied the wife.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-Whether a man was murdered or committed suicide is one of the interesting points on which Mrs. Albert Brueg- geman must express an official opin- ion in the course of her work on the Employees Compensation committee. If the man in question, a government employe, was murdered, his widow and children who are left dependent would receive compensation. If he committed suicide, thereby deiber- ately cutting off their means of sup port, the government cannot be re- sponsible for his dependents.
 Comparatively few people outside of the government service realize that Uncle Sam makes himself re- sponsible for injuries contracted by his employees while in the line of duty. And still fewer know that the government compensation commis- sion sets high standard for institu- tions of this sort
 The government compensation act is like the workmen's compensa ton act of the states and yet in several ways it is quite different. As Mrs. Brueggeman one of the commits sioners points out:
 The government is far more li- beral to its workers than employers in the states are required to be. In the states, it is the private employer of labor who has to pay when a workman is allowed compensation for an injury. To pay the compen- sation and at the same time hire a new man in the injured workman's S place may be a serious financial bur den to the employer. So the state commissions must read the law very closely
 But the government can afford to be more liberal to its employees. It really wants to come to the assist ance of its employees when they are disabled through their work
 For instance. if two men in a gov ernment machine shop were scuffling and one fell against machine and was hurt, how should the case be de- cided2 Should the men have been scuffling? Was it their own lookout that the accident occurred.
 Tn case of this sort. the govern ment is apt to be broader in it's de- cision than a state commission could be. Workmen are human beings. not machines. And the injury may leave family destitute for months.
 The Federal Law
 At the same time, the government compensation was states plainly that no compensation can be awarded for an accident due to carelessnoes on the part of the person injured. Nor will the government assume respon- sibility for person injured while intoxicated, or for one who deliber- ately kills or injures himself. So the commissioners have to consider every detail Of the evidence and act as .. board of judges to decide

 American government control ended year ago and there has been no perceptible improvement but increased charges. British control was renquished last August In spite of the unfavorabe conditions prevailing at that time the British companies imme- diatey began developing plans and making arrange ments for the introduction of cheap fares and other popular facilities.

General Reyna perhaps could have started much of revolution if they had let him alone But he possessed restless soul which must have caused him great discomfort so that the Mexican firing squad at Nogales, which released it. performed humane act toward the general. It also well enough in the state of affairs in to let revo- utionists know that of them too big or too little to the ministratons of firing squads. The promptness with which the whole thing was done, the absence of judicial frils. encompassed within half day, lends it impressiveness.
