INJURIES HAVE SET VALUE
Recompense for Loss Of Hands or
Fingers Not Matter for Debate
In Europe.

According to a scale of value fur
nished by the miners unions and min
ers' accident insurance companies of
a European country, the loss Of both
hands is valued at 100 per cent of the
ability to earn living. Losing the
right hand depreciates the value of an
Individual as a worker 20 or 80 per
cent, while the loss of the left hand
represents from go to 40 per cent of
the earnings of both hands. The
thumb Is reckoned to be worth from
20 to 30 per cent of the earnings. The
first finger of the right hand is valued
at from IA to Is per cent, that of
the left hand at from s to 1914 per
cent. The middle finger Is worth from
10 to 10 per cent. The third finger
stands least of all In value, although,
like other useless members of the
community it is surrounded by riches,
its value is only from to per cent.
The little finger is worth from 9 to
IL per cent. The difference In the
percentages is occasioned by the diff
ference in the trade; the first finger
being. for instance, more valuable to
a writer than digger.

on actual records obtained by regular
monthly visits of "a hours each to
eight farms for two years, and to %
other farms for one year

all my heart that much of the big work
which has been yours in the past will

The big "clean-sweep" broom borne
swiftly in a large yellow automobile
following the passage of the Presi-
dent-elect and the escort created d lot
of amusement among the crowds, which
broke up swiftly.
There was a bewildered look upon
the races OF scores of the onlookerS
as the official cars and the cavalcade
too swiftly passed. 1t was evident
that many in the crowds did not fully
realize the exact nature of the spec
tacle which they had come down to
see.
sylvania avenue was quite confident,
before the parade" came by that
there would be band Of music. and
she kept assuring her friends that the
music would materialize.
When a few minutes demonstrated
that there was certainly no band
whatever. there probably wasn't a
more disappointed woman in town.
Perhaps one of the most impressive
features of the crowds which lined
Pennsylvania avenue was the almost
total absence of any evidence of intoxi-
cants. There were very few inehriated
men along the line of the presidential
ride. This contrasted with the situation
four years ago. when local prohibition
had not yet made itself felt materially
in Washington. and the police Of the
city made many arrests on charges of
drunkenness along Pennsylvania avenue.
One of the largest throngs along the
Avenue was gathered at the corner of
7th street. where literally thousands of
persons lined the ropes and pushed for
2 view at the outgoing and incoming
Presidents.
