WORKMEN WAIT
FOR LEGS

Several beneficiaries of the Work.

legs or arms in accidents while at
work, are waiting for artificial
limbs. Deputy Commissioner r. j.
Hoage, of the Employees Compensa-
ton Commission, revealed today.
The commission IL waiting for
additions to a special fund created
under the Compensation act, whicL
would provide for the purchase Of
the artificial limbs, Hoage said.
The fund is divided equally be-
tween awards for limbs and awards
for second injuries. 1t is built up
by fines of $1,000 each assessed by
the commission against local com.
panies in each intance of an en-
ploye killed on duty and leaving
no dependents. In such instances
the fine is paid into the fund,
/ The first payment was made
within the past week by the Nichols
Company, insurance adjustors, but
the $500 available for buying limbs
was expended to meet the pressing
needs of two accident victims. Now
the fund for this purpose is de.
pleted, but the commission expects
two contributions in the near flu

Unaided either by Hoover or big

Agriculture Committees were strug-
Cling along today with the white
elephant" of Congress-a new farm
relief bill.
A bill devoid Of the equalization
fee but carrying specific provision
for Government aid in handling sur
plus crops, undoubtedly will be
drawn at both ends of the Capitol.
Spokesman for the farm organiza-
lions revealed that even the farmers
themselves are not in accord. Higher
tariffs, easier credits and farmer
control of the FEEDER. Land Bank
system were three changes upon
which the farmers agreed.
Quarrel Over Credits
They. quarreled. however, over the
equalization fee. the propose
farmers sterilization corporations
and the plan. to lend Government
funds to cooperative associations all
over the country.
The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton held out for the equalization
fee. A group of cooperative associa'
tons suggested changes l.. the Fed
eral Land Bank system, which would
give farmers actual control Of these
banks and their great credit facilities.
The grain growers associations OF
midwestern States opposed the
equalization fee and called for easier
credit facilities so they could carry
ON their own operations with Gov
eminent aid. The existing co-opera-
tives protested against increasing
their number, but asked Govern
ment aid for themselves.
Committees In Race
Out of this vortex Of contrary pro-
posals, the two committees will have
to draft bills. acceptable not only
to farmers but to the Hoover ad.
ministration.
One additional handicap has been
the apparent lack of cooperation
between the two committees with
the development of a situation on
Capitol Hill. in which both appar.
emily are racing for the credit of
being first.
Administration leaders, however.
have announced they favor starting
the farm bill in the Senate. This

The Armory Probe

Months ago the legislature very Solemniy
voted to probe the cost Of armories
It's committee had disclosed some facts
,bout the method under which large number
IF bindings had been erected and decided that
if had been very bad business for the state.
Against the opinion of Arthur Gllllom' then
sttornev-ceneral bank with a contracting
firm as subsidiary, had financed and built
LARGE number Of buildings for which the state
viii probably pay rent for many years Inc
rrofts "a the bank were not picayunish.
The Encouragement said very plainly that
there was no authority to bind the state beyond
? two-vear period, but the former admlnlstra-
tion mt out what they said was moral obhga-
ton for great sums.
The legislature was sure that the whole
building program should be gone INTO by e1-
,sr+s The Governor promised to furnish the
money for this probe The board of accounts
mas charged with the duty of making the IN
quiry
For some mysterious reason interest seems
n vane. The board of accounts says that II
has never received the money promised by the
Governor. 1t very quietly announces that tins
is causing the delay.
Perhaps the Governor may some day ind time
TO take enough money out of the very generous
fund given him by the legislature to do what
the legislature said should be done and which
the circumstances demanded,
For it will be remembered that the legls-
lature acted only when public indignation and
interest forced action. 1t was reluctant and
laggard, but not quite so reluctant or laggard
in the matter as the Governor seems to be.
The adjutant general who concocted the
scheme is still on the job, although his term OF
office expired months ago.
If there is an explanation for delay the
Governor should make it. Otherwise he will
soon be in the class of the courts, whose de-
Hberativeness is the subject of much comment.

Athlete Depends on Nerve Efficiency

and the force overcome leads to
the prediction that the mechanical
efficiency Of bicycle pedaling would
vary with the speed, and that there
would be an optimum speed at
which the efficiency is highest.
Experiments we're made to deter
mine the efficiency of bicycle pedal
ing over a wide range of speeds.
The optimum time of one foot move
ment (half pedal revolution) was
found to be nine-tenths second.
At a constant speed Of thirty
three complete pedal revolutions a
minute, it was found that the eff
flciency was not appreciably affected
by any change Of load within con-
siderable range at the pedal.
Here is an attempt to reach con-
slant of the efficiency of human
muscular action in a certain type Of
performance.
AS one might presume from this
investigation, a day bicycle racer
who had achieved a constant pace of
thirty-three complete pedal revolu-
tons a minute sustained during the
entire six-day period would in
variably win; at this speed he would
be constantly at the maximum OF
human efficiency in bicycle pedaling,
