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 a living. Losing the
right hand depreciates the value of an
individual as a worker 20 or so per
cent, While the loss Of the left hand
represents from 90 to 20 per cent of
the earnings Of both hands. The
thumb is reckoned to be worth from
20 to 80 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 TO 1872 per
cent The middle finger Is worth from
10 to 16 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 8 per cent.
The little finger is worth from Q to
u 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
writer than digger.

He is a natural leader of men,"
say his friends, who have watched
him plug his way through Harvard

His military record begins with his

as a first lieutenant with the Second
Iowa infantry. When the United
States entered the World war he en-

Fort Smelling and was sent to France
as a provisional second lieutenant in
