Health Courses Are Developed
 In Philippines

Manila. P. T.. Aug. 25-Bringing the college of medicine and surgery of the University of the Philippines up to the recognized standard of class "A.'' colleges of this sort in the United States by revision of the college currl- cuIuxn. and the establishment of central nursing school that will dou- ble the number of trained nurses graduated annually in the Philippines, are two of the important measures re- garding public health and the control of disease that have come about from the work of pr. Victor G. Hetser, Far Eastern representative of the Rocke- feller Foundation, since his arrival here three months ago.
 Dr. Heiser summarized what has been done in a report to Governor General Wood and the director of health. He invited attention to the fact that the health activities of the Philippines are not centralized under one department secretary, as he be- fore recommends that the legislation to do this, which failed of passage in the last legislature, be brought up again.
 The International Health Board has furnished the services of pr. Charles N. Leach to the Philippine govern ment for health work, of Dr. W. s. Carter as assistant dean of the co1- lege of medicine and surgery and pro- lessor of physiology, of Miss Alice Fitzgerald as consultant in nursing and of D. W. Tiedeman as sanitary engineer in charge of field studies in malaria which have been undertaken in the province of Laguna.

Industrial Accident Insurance
 Boon To Workers, Says Davis

Secretary Davis believes that while workmen's compensation laws are a great improvement over the former employers liability system, they are place, he points out, many employees are excluded entirely from the bene- fits of the acts. It is of no particu- lar significance to an injured work man to know that the compensation law in his state has high scale of benefits if his occupation does not come within the scope of the act.
 Tt is important, therefore said many and what employees are covered by the various compensation laws. New Jersey is the only state which in- cludes all employments. Every state except New Jersey eXempts farm labor and domestic service. Twelve states limit their acts to so-called hazardous' employments, thereby ex- clerical occupations % and i'4PShenas, the profes. sions. Nineteen states exempt the small employers, those having fewer than stipulated number of em- ployes, ranging from three employees in five states to sixteen employees in Alabama.
 Interstate railroad and maritime employments are necessarily excluded because of Federal legislation and constitutional limita tions. Other ex- clusions in number of states in clude public employees, casual labor and emplOymentS not conducted for gain, such as charitable and religious institutions"
 Farming Hazardous Job.
 It is interesting to note that logging in Maine and coal mining in Tennes- see-two highly hazardous industries are also excluded. The reason for the almost universal exclusion of agriculture in the United States can hardly lie in the fact of it's non hazar dous character. The opposi- tion of the farming element no doubt explains it.
 Secretary Davis believes that the exclusion of emp1oyments or employ CTS on the ground of having a low hazard is indefensib1e.
 "An injury received in mercan- tile establishment may be just as se- were and entail just as much eco nom distress as one received in a mine" said Secretary Davis. And, furthermore, if an occupation is in fact only slightly hazardous the addi- tional burden on society will be slight because of the very fact that acci- dents are infrequent in these exempt ed employments."

Chicago, Aug 25-The railroad strike reached the end of it's eighth week today to the accompaniment of bomb explosions and extensive Vio- lence.
 Passengers on one of the Alton's fastest trains, which pulled out of Roodhouse during the disturbance, said many shots were fired.
 Officials of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad and county au thorities were investigating an att tempt to dynamite a railroad bridge near Spanish Lake, Mo-, IT miles from St. Louis. Although the explosion was said to have been terriffiic little dam age was reported.

 Earlier disorders at Jacksonville, Fla. were followed by the dynamit- ing of the home of J. A. Williams, foreman in the Seaboard Air Line rail road shops and a member of the city council. The front of the house was who in the rear of the building escaped injury.
 Following reports from a national guard officer, Governor McCray of Indiana asked federal authorities to intercede in strike disorders at Gar rett, Ind, where workmen were threatened, their homes painted vel low and where bombs were discovered.
 Charges of murder were made against a negro commissary worker of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe at San Bernardino, Calif., where a striking mechanician was shot and killed. The striker, it was charged was killed in a running pistol fight

ARNIY MEN IN HONOLULU
 POLO IS PLAYED IN AMERICA

Yosemite National Park, Aug. 25- The fame of auto polo introduced as an annual feature of national park field day has spread to Honolulu Army men in the Pacific island terri tory have written seeking instructions for it's introduction there.
 Auto polo, is played in stripped In short campass. Automobile tires are laid in rows along the field with sufficient distance between each for a small car to turn if handled with dex- terity. In the center of each tire is a stick on which rests an inverted tin can and the object of the game is for the mallet man of each auto to knock off all the cans h,s in the row of tires res Snrougn ser h Winning car is tbe wn@ binS in finishes first.
 There is fun a-plenty when the several fivvers start from scratch and dash madly down the field in crazy circles with mallet men almost pitch ing on their heads as they lean from the careening vehicles and bang the cans.

Washington, Aug. 25-The toll ex- acted by industrial accidents in the United States reaches appalling pro- Labor Davis, approximately 2S,ooO fatal injuries and 600,000 non-fatal injuries of over four weeks disability are sustainedw by wage earners of the country each year. The cost of these accidents, he says, is still large ly borne by the workers, though not to the same extent since the enact ment of workmen's compensation laws.
 Bismansez was Pioneer.
 The first compensation law was enacted by Germany in 1884 as a part of Bismarck's social insurance pro- gram" said Secretary Davis. "Other today nearly all of the civilized na- tins have such laws upon their statute books. In the United States com- pensation legislation is of recent or being enacted in 1911. The idea, however. spread rapidly. forty-two states having enacted such legisla- tion up to the present time"
 The Labor Secretary pointed out that under the old employers liabil- ity system it was necessary for an employe in case of injury to sue his employer for damages. Damages, however could be recovered only if the injury was due to the employers fault or negligence.
 Moreover, the employer always had available the three commonlaw de- lenses, viz, assumption of risk, fellow service and contributory negligence. Or, in other words, if the injury were due to an inherent risk in the indus try or was caused by the act of a fellow employe, or if the injured worker himself was negligent no dam- age could be recovered. The new compensation system. with unimpor- tant exceptions. abolishes the whole theory of negligence. The injured workman loses his right to sue, but in lieu thereof receives certain stated money and medical benefits irrespec- tive of fault.
 Eliminates Litigation.
 ''The chief advantages of a com pensation system over employers 1ia- bility," said Secretary Davis, ''lie in the elimination of prolonged litigation, the assurance that definite benefits will be paid promptly and regularly and the abolition of ill-feeling en- gendered through lawsuits"

Great China Wall
 Slowly Falling

Peking. China, Aug. 25-Recent wis., itors to the Great Wall of China, which is accessible at Nankow, 40 miles from Peking, describe it as slowly crumbling. Many of the tur- rets which command the salient points as the Wall climbs over the mountain tops are in ruins and tour ists and natives alike wrench the stone blocks from the super-structure to throw into the valleys below. Yet it is maintained that the great struc- ture, extending from Shanhaikuan on the sea almost to the borders of Iii bet has many centuries to live, al- though no efforts are made to, pre- serve it. Construction of the Wall was begun 200 B. C., by Emperor Chin Huang ri. a contemporary of Hannibal, who conceived this barrier to keep out the Tartars. At one time 100000 criminals and prisoners of war were engaged in the work. The main part of the Wall, however, was not undertaken until the seventh century, when, it is said, 1000, 900 workers were employed.

Every French citizen from the hun1- ble peasant to the highest official in the famous capital appreciates and applauds the mission that has brought these American women to France. Throughout their tour, the French people have opened their hearts and homes to the good will messengers.
 Thrifty peasants unloosed tight purse strings and lavished their pre- cious sous on American flags as their ackn w1edgement. Factory owners waived rules so that employees could attend the local demonstration of welcome; schools declared a holiday when the delegation arrived in town.
 Beautiful chateaux, used only on rare occasions of special importance were thrown wide open to the Ameri- can women and their titled owners spared no effort to entertain the delegation in a manner which express ed their gratitude towards America s friendly messengers and to the American Committee for Devastated France, under whose auspices the Good Will Delegation is being con- 0IefAd
