her in order to obtain cause for
counter suit, is the sense of the

casions because of the cruel treat
ment received from her husband,

time, gives the plaintiff 500 for

her support while it is pending.

lease of Elvie D. Kirby, convicted
murderer, from the state peniten-
tiary here where he is held under

peal to the United States supreme

The supreme court in upholding
the constitutionality of the act
pointed out that the people were
entirely within their right in en-
acting the act which provides the

SCENIC ROAD SIGNS TO
ATTRACT TOURISTS HERE

Possibilities of scenic road signs
placed at intervals between here
and the California line as a means
of attracting tourists to Salem,
were discussed by Otto X. Paulus
In brief talk before the Kiwanis
club at its regular luncheon In the
Marion hotel this noon.
A colored sketch OF one of the
signs was shown the club by Mr..
Paulus, who went into the neces-
sity of road advertising and the
benefits derived from cities which
had prospered through tourist
travel. such as Denver, Colo, and
different points in California. He
explained that the movement was
started by the Commercial club
and that the funds for the erec-
tion of the signs would be raised
through contribution from bust
ness men of the city.
In observance of National Mu-
sic week, Edwin Socolofsky. song
leader of the club. with the as
sistance of Miss Elma Weller,
provided a special program OF an
instrumental number by Claudia

STATE AID LAW
LIMITS DEFINED

The Oregon workmen's compen-
sation act does not contemplate
compensation for workmen suf-
fering from occupational diseases
or ailments which do not come
within the scope of an accident
caused by violent or external
means.
This, in brief, is the principle
laid down by Chief Justice Bur-
nett in an opinion handed down
by the supreme court this morn
ing upholding the industrial acct
dent commission in a suit brought
by Julian Iwanicki, to compel the
payment of additional compensa-
tion.
Iwanicki, an employe of the
Pacific Car & Foundry company
contracted lead poisoning from
the practice of holding tacks in
his mouth while engaged in his
work of upholstering. The commits
sion at first disallowed the claim
entirely but later reconsidered its
decision and made an adjustment
of the claim. After a period of
several months Iwanicki began
negotiations for additional COM
pensation which the commission
refused to consider and he appeal
ed to the circuit court of Multno-
nah county which remanded the
cause to the commission with or
ders forthwith to fix compensa-
tion for the plaintiff. From this
decision the commission appealed
to the supreme court.
In his opinion Chief Justice
Burnett points out that the term
accident" within the meaning OF
the Oregon compensation act
"does not allude to the steady
and imperceptible advance of dis
ease in the human system"

Sc yards across at the entrance
and one hundred yards long, and
presents some difficulties, even to
vessels, except in the most moder-
ate weather.
The seaplane is awaited at the
rocks by the Portuguese cruiser

supply Of gas and oil, and which
will broadcast the news OF the avi-
ators' arrival.
