Hartford. Dec. 21.-Announcemen of the result of studies which its committee on workman's compensa- tion has made and it's recommenda tions for changes in the Connecticut law. to be presented at the coming session of the state legislature was made today by the Manufacturers Association of Connecticut from Its executive offices.
 The inequalities of the present law which it is alleged have worked un- due hardship upon both employer and employe. were responsible for the studies which the committee un- dertook by direction of the board of directors of the association through a vote passed December 2. 1925. The board. at that time, recognizing the association's obligation as an organi- zation responsible for the welfare of industrial employees and employers Of the state, undertook to find some solution of the present difficulties with which all are now confronted. II IS stated.
 It's compensation committee. con- sisting of Chairman c. B. Whittelsey. president of the Hartford Rubber Works; Howell Cheney, Cheney Brothers. South Manchester: Fuller F. Barnes. treasurer of the Wallace Barnes Co. Bristol; c. H. Granger, superintendent of the Waterbury Clock Co.,. Waterbury and C. L.

 The waver clause. which the com mittee believes might have been used to a greater extent to reduce thu unable to secure emplcymen' has not been as helpful as was hoped for by those who framed the originar law because of it's failure to clearly define to which disabilities already incurred might be considered as con
 tributory causes in case of further accident, it is declared. The com mittee believes that the introduction of an amendment to broaden the scope of the waiver will result in its increased nse with consequent re- duction in rejection of applicants for employment. The amendment to be introduced. if accepted. will also re- store to the employe upon signing a waiver. certain common law protec- tions which he does not now receive

A Just reward for her long and faithful service to the school de- partment was given Miss Millie G.. McAuey when she was promoted to the position of principals assistant at the Senior High school. Her thorough knowledge of every branch of high school work has been of great help to Principal sIade.
 Miss McAuley was born in Wind sor Locks and began her service in the New Britain school department in 19Oi. She studied at Suffield academy. Smith college. and did summer work at Teachers college, Columbia university. during the summers of 1921 and 1922.

lating to total incapacity. for exam pie. has been construed to mean that an employer who hires a man who has previously lost an arm. a leg. or an eye will be held liable for total disability of that employe should he incur loss of the other member. The Association recommends that this provision of the law be changed to make it possible to employ an oper- ative with one arm. leg or eye with out the extra hazard of total disa bil ity. believing that this will result in a large decrease in unemployment among men 50 handicapped.
 The committee is further advocat- ing changes in those sections of the law under which hernia Is now com pensated. Employers have hesitated to give employment to applicants when a physical examination showed previously existing abdominal weak ness. as the wording of the present law is vague, hernia not being re- ferred to specifically. but covered in the clause which provides for other ailments which result in partial in- capacity. In view of the fact that other states deal with hernia specif- ically. the Association recommends that this be done in Connecticut and that definite time be established for proving that a hernia resulted from a specific accident.
 Under the present law the one year period allowed for the filing of compensation claims has been con- strucd to date from the time of dis ability. rather than from the time of injury and the effect has been to practically nullify the statute of limitations. Claims have been paid for injuries dating back as far as five years. In the opinion of the com mittee an employer and his insurer are entitled to know the extent of

 -"TraVesty on Justice"

San Francisco, Dec. 21 R1The trial of Col. Ned M. Green. suspend ed prohibition administrator. whose defense was branded in closing ar gument as imaginative fiction or the grossest perjury" and whose prosecution was decried as ''tra- vesty on justice entered its final phase in federal court here today.
 The taking of testimony ended lat1 yesterday and arguments to the jury were in progress when court adjourned. Each side had 45 min utes in which to complete the sum ming up of its case today. It was expected that Judge A. F. St. Sure would give the case to the jury be- fore night.
 Intimations that perjury had en- tered the testimony were renewed yesterday in Assistant United States Attorney Eugene Bennett's address to the jury.
 Somebody must have lied" he declared. calling attention to nu- merous contradictory assertions made from the witness stand.
 Louis " Crowley, arguing for the defense, reiterated Greens conten- tion that he was the victim of a conspiracy by his former subordi- mates to oust him from office. Crow ley also attacked the embezzlement indictment against Green. declaring that no evidence had been introduc- ed to prove that the former dry chief had sold. given away or other wise converted to his own use the confiscated liquor he was alleged to have taken.

RHODES|AN SKULLS
MYSTERY DEEPENS
Like No Other Known Type,
Says DR.. HrdIicka After
Trip to Africa.

A single skull of prehistoric African
man. which has puzzled scientists
since its discovery in IA lode mine of
northern Rhodesia five years ago, is
like no known race inhabiting the
dark continent in modern times.
DIR. Ales Hrdlicka of the Smithso-
nian Institution, who recently visited
Africa especially to determine the
conditions under which it had been
unearthed says that this Rhodesian
find" is much more complex than
has formerly been supposed. Due to
the fact that no. scientist was on
hand when the miners pick revealed
il. much valuable data has been lost
and varying conflicting conclusions
have been tieduced by the anthrOpol-
osists who have studied it.
In "A forthcoming issue of the Jour
nal Of Physical Anthropology DR..
Ilrdlicka refuteS the contention that
other human bones found in the same
cave We're part of the same skeie-
ton, as previously believed. From the
evidence he has collected lit is ap-
parent, he says, that the other re-
mains are those of a recent but prlml-
tive people who used the cave as a
place of feasting. Broken bones of
human beings as we'll as of animals
indicate that they were probably can
nibalS.
THE skull itself" he saws, lis posi-
lively not the skull of any now
known African type of man or their
normal variants. Neither is it any
known pathological monstrosity, such
as gigantism or loontiasis. 1t is
most remarkable specimen, of which
the age. provenience. history and ma
ture are still anthropologicak puzzles.
1t is similar in some respects to
the Neanderthal types of Europe. in
ferior in some details, but superior
in others to anything yet known Of
The Neanderthat man. The mining
operations at the site at which it was
originally discovered are still going on
and will gradually demolish what still
remains of the crevice in which the
bones were found. IAN this work
should be intently watched con-
cludes DR.. Hrdlicka. for any day it
may uncover new evidence of much
importance"
