no compensation can be awarded for

or for one who deliberately kills or in
lures himself So the commissioners

Mrs. Brueggeman is the newest COM
missioner-the woman on the board.
Her fellow commissioners, John kee-
gan and Charles Berrill, have suggest
ed her for chairman, and President
Harding is now considering the
matter.
From a conversation with Mrs.
Brueggeman, you would say that she
is 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 govern
ment is not taken advantage Of.

NUMBER OF CIVILIAN
AER0NAUTS INCREASE
ACCORDING TO REPORT
lBy Associated Pressl


CHICAGO Dec. pa great increase
in civilian flying in the middle-western
and southwestern states is reported
by a representative of the Aeronant-
ical Chamber of Commerce of Amer
lea, who has just completed an extern
sive tour, several thousand miles Of
which were traversed by airplane.
Approximately a score of flying
meets have been held at various
points throughout the United States
during the past year, but the larger
and more significant of these were
in Illinois. Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri,
Indiana and Texas.
Most of the flying meets were con-
Quoted under the initiative or patron
age of the various Chambers of Com
merce. At these events more than
300 planes were entered. flying ap-
proximately 100000 miles, carrying.
during the various brief exhibition
periods around $4,000 passengers. Half
a million people witnessed the tour
naments, the largest of which were
the American Legion Meet at Kansas
City, Mo, and the Pulitzer Trophy
Race at Omaha, Neb.
Sent to Valleys
It is estimated by the Aeronautical
Chamber of Commerce that probably
one-half of the 1900 aircraft believed
TO be in commercial operation in the
United States are to be found in the
Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri River
valleys, Colorado, Montana, the Oak
otas, Oklahoma and Texas.
The west is the big immediate
field for civilian flying" in the opinion
of the Aeronautical Chamber Of Com
merce representative New transpor-
tation is desired. Vast distances, COM
paratively inadequate highway facil-
tiles for motor transport and with rail-
1 ways in many sections restricted prin-
clpally to the main trunk lines, permit
exceptional opportunities for convinc-
ing demonstration of aerial efficiency.
Ranchers, oil men, physicians, travel
ing statesmen for the great distribut-
ing houses, and an increasing number
of big executives who want to save
time in travelling and yet feel it nee
essary to travel to keep in direct
touch with their affairs, are employing
airplanes in their daily work
The lack of federal regularity law
and the consequent lack of proper ter
minal facilities, signalling and meteor
illogical services has been a severe
handicap but this is about to be re-
moved by legislation recommended by
the president. The fact is that these
meets have proven conclusively that
the general public is beginning to
accept the airplane for what it is
worth-to recognize in it a medium of
efficient and speedy transport.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. %. /.
Whether a man was murdered or COM
mitted suicide is one of the interest
ing points on which Mrs. Albert Brueg-
geman must express an official opinion
in the course of her work on the En-
ployes' Compensation commission. II
the man in question. a government en-
ploye, was murdered, his widow and
children who are left dependent would
receive compensation. If he committed
suicide. thereby deliberately cutting
off their means of support the gov
eminent cannot be responsible for his
dependents.
Comparatively few people outside of
the government service realizes that
Uncle Sam makes himself responsible
for injuries contracted by his en-
ployes while in the line of duty. And
still fewer know that the government
compensation commission sets a high
standard for institutions of this sort.
The government compensation act
is like the workmen's compensation
act of the states and yet in several
ways it is quite differene. AS Mrs.
Brueggeman, one of the commission
ers, points out:
"The government is far more lib
eral 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 work
man is allowed compensation for an
injury. To pay the compensation and
at the same time hire a new man in
the injured workman's place may be
a serious financial burden to the en-
ployer. So the state commissions
must read the law very closely.
But the government can afford to
be more liberal to its employees. 1t
really wants to come to the assistance
of its employees when they are dis
abled through their work.
For instance, if two men i'll a gov
eminent machine shop were scuffllng
and one fell against machine and
was hurt, how should the case be
decided? Should the men have been
scuffling? Was 1t their own lookout
that the accident occurred?
In case of this sort, the govern
ment is apt to be broader in its de-
cision than state commission could
be. Workmen are human beings, not
machines. And the injury may leave
family destitute for months.
AT the same time, the government

ly injured to return to his work. A
lump sum sometimes gives him
chance to start small business for
himself. The commission Is kept
busy. There are nearly 100000 federal
employees and. several hundred cases
come in daily.

NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-Criminal

Of this State, said District Attorney
Lewis OF Kings county yesterday.
AS an instance, he cited Section 43
Of the Penal Code. which makes 1t a
misdemeanor to wilfully and wrong

endangers the public peace. Pros

clude the charge OF criminal anarchy.
Mr.. Lewis says he believes those
active in the Khan have violated Sec

more persons conspire to prevent
from exercising a lawful trade or call

foreign rowers, but unofficially you
will be on the lookout to buy us as
