until she had accumulated the naces-
sary dollars to make the purchase of
the cemetery lot.
Friends and charitable institutions
in Maryyille learned of her ambition
ana she was aided by them to the ex-
tent that they gathered quilt pieces
and sent them to her at the poor farm.
1t was slow work for Miss Curless,
whose fingers had become stiff in her
old age, but she did not give up. For
several years 1t seemed as If her fund
was growing awfully slow, but after
she had gathered together $40 the re-

Miss Curless first began to make her
quilts. The finished products were

State insurance as it relates to
industrial liability and the protec-
ton of workers is due to receive
serious consideration at the hands
Of the coming legislature. Insur-
ance of this character is now con-
trolled by private companies and
under the Workmen's Compensation
Act, passed two years ago, IS prac-
tically compulsory. That it has
paid handsomely is shown in 1921
premiums totaling nearly 100000
with losses of only $691.763.29.
The Workmen's Compensation Act
is administered by a state commits
sion and the new idea is to have
the state collect the premiums and
pay the losses. 1t is known that
quite a few of the members of both
the house and senate favor the new
idea and that they have strong
backing in a large number of small
business concerns who regard the
present compensation rate as ex
cessive and burdensome. If state
insurance does prevail it will not
be without stiff fight ON the part
of the companies engaged in the
business who are now marshalling
their forces for the attack. It's
loss would rob them of some de-
cidedly rich pickings.
