MORE CHANGES
MAY BE SOUGHT
IN STATE LAW
Further Revision of Work.
mems Compensation Statute
Considered Likely

Possibility that an effort will be
made to further amend the state
workmen's compensation law at
some future session of the legisla-
turc is advanced by members Of the
workmen's compensation bureau
here as a result of recent ruling
by that body.
The law wa; revised at the last
legislative session to limit the
amount which may be paid on per-
manent total disability and death
claims 10 $4,000 and certain other
changes were made in it. Among
them, the bureau has been advised
by it's attorney. was one which pre-
vents the bureau from allowing
claims for ankylosis or stiffness Of
the joints and partial loss of vision
resulting from industrial accidents.
One member of the board, r. E..
Wenzel, contends that such claims
should be allowed under the law and
stated his views in the minutes of
a recent meeting. The four other
members disagreed, however, and
approved the ruling that such claims
should be disallowed.
Although no test Of the point in
the courts is in prospect now, men,
bers Of the bureau said, it is posi-
BILE that the matter may eventually
be threshed OUT there and later
presented to the legislature so that
the law may be further repaired.
Claims Rejected Are Small
A number of claims already have
been rejected on the ground that
they were not compensate under the
law but all have been for small
amounts and did not warrant cost
ly legal action. Eventually, how
ever. a claim may pe presented in
which the amount involved will be
sufficient to warrant a test of the
ruling.
Only four or five death and total
permanent disability claims have
been affected by the law limiting
the total payment since it became
effective and reductions in premium
rates as a result of its operation
probably will be deferred for sever
al years, according to G. N. Liv-
dahl, bureau member.
Rejection Of the claims for par
tial loss Of sight and ankylosis,
however, is expected to result in
decreased payments to beneficiaries
in certain classifications of work
with an attendant decrease in pre-
MUM rates for employers in those
classificstions.

Still Hopes to Block His Com.

Criminal Insane

Cincinnati, Jan. 6.--tF9-George
Remus, the former Chicago lawyer
who became liking Of bootleggers,"
was denied writ of habeas corpus
today and his hope Of evading pun
ishment for the murder Of his wife
turned to an appeal from the pro-
bate court order which found him
insane and directed commitment

The decision was handed down by
Judge Charles S. Bell, of the court
Of common pleas. He granted
Charles H. Elston, counsel for
Remus, time to perfect an appeal
to the court Of appeals, which pre-
vented immediate removal Of Remus
to the Lima institution.
Elston indicated that he might
wish to appeal from the denial Of
the writ by Judge Bell. Judge Bell
said that entry of today's proceed
ings upon his court record would be
withheld until 2 p. m. next Tues
day, that action acting automatic

of his fight for freedom from the

George Remus, accompanied by At

Lima at $3.50 this afternoon by au-

county deputy sheriffs.
No definite statement was made
regarding the intent Of the move

habeas corpus at Lima in courts To-
Gated in neutral territory. The ap-
peal taken this morning to COM

ABOUT NOW the boys in the
country towns are supposed to get
out in pursuit of snakes. The hu-
man antipathy, which some con-
slider handed down from Adam and
Eve in the Garden of Eden, is keen
ly shared by boy instinct. 1t feels
a hereditary antagOnism to these
crawling creatures, and that it is
an exploit of some nobility to get
out after them.
So as Mr.. Snake crawls out of his
hole on a nice spring day to take
the sun cure, he finds tribe of
boys after him. 1t is difficult to
live the simple life in Snakesville
for some days. But fortunately for
Mr.. Snake, the boy mind does not
pursue any one object with any
continuity. After a certain propor-
tion of the snaky tribe have been
laid low, the rest can rejoice in
peace and quiet for the rest or the
season.

RENDEZYOHS

The home has ceased to be a mere
port Of last resort and becomes a
cherished rendezvous. And the radio
is responsible. If one may eat din
ner at home and at the same time
hear the melodious strains of a
symphony orchestra, if one may roll
up the parlor rug and dance to the
jazz janglings Of metropolitan
dance orchestra, if one may sit in
smoking jacket and slippers and not
miss the evening church service,
there is no place like home.
The home is indebted to those new
gold-dust twins, Neutrodyne and
Heterodyne, for bringing back the
wandering flock. The player-piano,
the phonograph, the library, the
open door all tried their skill at
vamping with little success. Where
they failed the radio succeeded. It
isn't guaranteed against fading but
the wireless wave is overworking
the hall hat rack.

The radio is in competition with late
evening movies. AS long as the ra-
iio programs offer talent Of high

stay home to hear and go out only

RESPONSIBILITIES OF
BUSINESS

How far is business responsible
for community welfare along social
and economic lines? The foregoing
question was prominent among the
questions discussed by the United
States Chamber of Commerce at it's
recent annual meeting at Washing
ton.
Formerly it was thought that bus
mess had not much of what could
be called social responsibility. Its
obligation was simply to pay the
wages for which help could be
hired, and if it did that and paid it's
debts, then it performed all obliga-
tions.
OF course, the first and by far the
more essential duty, is for con-
Germ to run it's affairs on a solvent
basis, and provide regular employ
ment. A business that pays its
debts promptly, and that hands out
regular pay to it's workers at fair
wages is performing it's duty. 1t
has gone a long way toward fulfil
ling it's obligations. A concern
might be very philanthropic, and
yet if it failed to give good pay for
regular work, it's service would be
faulty.
But after a business does provide
this fair and regular employment,
and gets on a thoroughly stable
basis, its obligations are not fin
ished. 1t should try to see to it
that its employees can live in an
way. If there is a lack,
for instance, of good homes for its
workers, it should try in some way
to get these homes provided. 1t
needs to work for a good community
in which it's workpeople stand
chance to bring up a family under
conditions. But of
course its workers must cooperate
heartily with such efforts in var
iOus ways.
The business concerns of Della
ware have on the whole been very
and they owe it to the
state and community to do every
thing possible for good living condi-
tions, education, and public and
personal welfare.
Milford chronicle., 1928-06-01
INITIATIVE IN BUSINESS

Business success depends upon
initiative. No one ever got ahead
much who did not have that quality.
Some attain a mild degree of sue
cess by just honest and faithful per-
sistence. If you keep on serving the
people faithfully year after year,
you may get a little permanent
share of trade, even if you have not
much push or initiative.
But the go ahead spirit is neces-
sary to get any considerable results.
People have to "leave no stone un-
turned" as the old phrase goes. They
have to be wide awake, looking out
for new opportunities. When they
see an opportunity, they must get
out and work to realize it. Nothing
goes much in this world without
life, motion activity, energy, deter
mination, in short all those qualities
that are Jumped in the term "initia-
tive" We must initiate things.
Old style business was apt to lack
that quality. A prospective mer-
chant opened up his store and wait
ed for the public to come and see
him. If he gave good goods and did
his best to please people he drew a
certain amount of trade.
But that trade could not be very
large one, and in the majority of
cases it would not pay his expenses,
unless he got out and hustled in
some way to win public notice.
The economical and scientific way
10 win that attention is to advertise
It accomplishes the same result as if |
people were sent all over city and
he surrounding country, to talk
With the people about the goods, and
t gets the results for a very small
raction of the cost of such canvass
ng.
Advertising is the modern method
f showing initiative. It starts peo-
lie to thinking about the goods a
tore carries, it gives the impression
{ alertness, energy, success, achiev-
nent, which wins attention, and
axes people interested in busi- t
ess enterprise. They say that a o
ore that shows this initiative in its v
lvertising, is a good one to do bus k
ess with. n

SELF SERVICE

Many good folks are lamenting the
passing Of the era when men and
women consecrated their lives to un-
selfish service and prepared them
selves to become ministers, mission
aries, teachers or country doctors
that they might administer to the
spiritual, mental and physical needs
Of humanity without thought of
large worldly gain. They are not in
error when they charge that modern
men and women are choosing voca-
tions today in which they can do the
greatest service to themselves.
People today are coming to the
belief that the best way they can
help others is to produce much that
their profit shall be large and that
they shall never become dependent
upon society. The old idea Of SER
vice was direct. The new service is
indirect. Twenty years ago it was
still thought that only ministers,
doctors and teachers served human
ity. Today every workman who car
ries his whole days wage home is
known to have earned that wage in
service to society.
Elbert Hubbard's version Of the
Golden Rule was, "Do unto others as
though you were the Others" but an
even more up-to-date version is "Do
much good and no bad to
others" Getting something for your
self is reprehensible only when it is
gotten at the expense Of another.

HOW TO WRITE AN ADVERTISE
MENT

Some merchants say they believe
in advertising, but they remark that
writing ads is a kind of science
which they never studied, and they
claim they are not competent to
write winning ads.
While it pays any ad writer to
put some time and thought into the
composition of such notices, yet
many of the most successful ones
are written in very offhand way in
very, short time. 1t takes no
special education to write a good
advertisement. All that is neces-
sary is for the writer to pick out
some article or line which the pub
lie wants at that time, and which
he believes to constitute a good
bargain, tell little something
about it in everyday language, and
state the price. That kind of ads
will always sell goods.
Milford chronicle., 1928-06-01
THE PRICE OF BEAUTY

An Englishman has just paid
$S75,OOO for the painting by Raph-
ael known as the Niccolini Madonna.
Now the ordinary observer might
not be able to tell that that picture
had a greater value than many of
the old paintings. But when the
people who are judges of such art
pronounce it to be the work of one
Of the worlds most famous paint
ers, it's cash price becomes some-
thing enormous.
Some suggestion of this tendency
is found in everyday life. The
home that has beauty and charm
has a greater cash value than a
more extensively built one that
lacks those qualities. Which should
suggest even to materialistic peo-
pie, that culture and refinement
bring rewards and are worthwhile.
Milford chronicle., 1928-06-01
0BEYNG THE UMPIRE

The umpire of the baseball game
has not been an envied figure. He
has often been pictured as being
mobbed by the bleacherites, or at
tackled with pop bottles and various
missiles, and anyway he gets an en-
ormous amount of abuse. 1t is a
common thing for the spectators to
hurl every possible epithet at him.
And yet the ball players obey the
umpire on the whole rather we'll.
Occasionally they get so thorough
ly mad at losing some decision at a
critical moment, that they express
their feelings in language more for
chile than polite. But commonly
the cooler heads counsel caution,
and they go on with the game. 1t
is an exception when a game breaks
up in a row.
Now if people could only carry
that idea over into their everyday
life, it would save them from a
great deal of trouble.
1t is easier to enforce a baseball
rule than it is a law of the State.
The player who curses an umpire
often gets put out of the game. AS
he does not want that to happen, he
cools off and controls his temper.
But it is different in violating the
law of the state. A man often finds,
for instance, that he can drive an
automobile recklessly in violation
of all law, without anything happen
ing to him. So he keeps on driving
to suit himself, until finally some
officer sees him and complains. But
if such persons could only see it,
their logic would tell them to accept
the decision of the law whether any
one is looking or not. They know
that a ball game will not be a sue
cess unless the players submit to
their umpire, and government will
not be a success here in Milford and
unless we yield to the
by the laws of state and
nation.
