Henry Appeal Dismissed.

The law court Friday handed down
a rescript in Hermon e. Henry
case from Hancock county, dismiss
ing the appeal of the defendants.
This case grew out of the death of
Mr.. Henry's minor son, Justin, who
was killed by the caying in of a
bank of earth at the new. storage
dam of the Bar Harbor & Union
River Power Co., at Brimmer's
bridge, where he was employed, on
November IA last
The industrial accident commits
sion denied petition of Mr.. Henry for
compensation for his sons death on
the ground that he was not de
pendent upon his son for support,
within the meaning of the Work
mems Compensation act This de-
cision was upheld by the supreme
court, and Mr.. Henry appealed to the
law court.
The rescript which was drawn by
Associate Justice Leslie C. Cornish of
Augusta, states that in an appeal by
an alleged partially dependent
father, from a decree dismissing
petition for compensation, 1t is held
as follows:
l. That the test of dependency of a
father in this State under the Work
mems Compensation act is whether the
contributions made by the son We're
necessary and were relied upon by the
claimant for his means of living, his
station in life being considered and
whether such contributions were more
than offset by the support rendered by
the father
3 That this was a question of fact,
under the circumstances in the case.
and the ruling of the commission was
final, under the evidence.
8 That the trier of facts is not
bound to accept certain testimony as
conclusive but its weight and credi-
btlity are for him. N

Dean Everett w. Lord of the Bos-
ton University college of business
administration, a former Ellsworth
man. places the cash value Of col
lege education at $4,000. This is
based on figures obtained by an eX-
tensiye study of the average earnings
OF the unframed man, the high
school graduate and the college
graduate. He places the average
total earnings of the unframed man
up to the age of sixty years, at
$4,000 The high school graduate
earns $4,000, thus giving the high
school education cash value of
$4,000, while the college man earns
$4,000, hence the cash value Of
$4,000 over ana above the high
school education This, Of course, is
a study Of averages. We venture the
guess that there are many college
trained men to-day who would be
glad to swap jobs with some men
who have never seen the inside OF a
high school But the law of averages
rules, and the boy to-day who wishes
to start out in the world with more
than an even chance of success,
would do we'll to paste Dean Lords
figures in his hat, and stick to

if the test proves you nervously I'M
fitted 10 drive a ear under present
day conditions to step down and out
of the drivers seat, or are you op-
posed to sacrificing your personal
privilege of driving for the sake of
humanity? Ii a drivers test for all
becomes a reality, each operator of
car must prove that in an
emergency he retains his wits, is a
quick thinker, knows just what to do
and does it. Your education is not
in question, nor your age, color or
the state of your finances. Only your
nervous reaction. Tens of thousands
of motorists would go ''all to pieces"
in an emergency. Tens of thousands
OF auto accidents are yearly averted
because cool heads, quick brains and
hands are in charge of cars. But all
drivers are not so constituted, hence
accidents and hence the test for this
condition that is on its way. And
why not? Every locomotive engineer
undergoes a rigid qualifying test
An auto driver travelling is con
fronted daily with the possibility Of
accident to himself or others a
thousand times to an engineers once.

ported by the opinion of able law
yers. The Great Northern Paper Co
has taken unto itself the powers of
