MEETS
APACHES
NEXT

A peachy tuneup for their i'm
portant game with the Apaches
on December 7. That's how the
Mohawks feel about their con-
test with the st. Mary's Celtics
tomorrow at Griffith Stadium at
2:30 o'clock. The fray heads the
usual Sabbath sandlot football
program.
The Mohawks have had a great
deal of business to settle this
year. Most important they ave
had to regain all prestige lost
last year when the Apaches beat
them for the District title.
They have worked. There is
no getting around that. They
have played this team and that
one and have taken and given
knocks in a season which has
been one of the mot strenuous in
several years.

being the one just before the

Yet the Hawks consider it a
"peachy" tune-up game. They
feel it will get them into the
fighting trim they want to be in
when the Apaches are met De-
cember 7.
And lest it is forgotten. a vic
tory over the Celtics will mean
revenge and revenge complete
for a setback at the hands Of the
Alexandrians last year, to 0.
Coach Ed Abbey won't be in
the Hawk lineup tomorrow. But
he'll be on the bench directing
the plays and sending in sub

WORKMEN AID ACT
REVISION SOUGHT
Northern Virginia Members
Sponsor Measure Intro.
duced in Assembly.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
Stan Correspondent OF the Star.

RICHMOND, Va, January 25.--The
names of all of the Northern Virginia
members of the General Assembly, in
Guiding Senator Frank l.. Ball, Airing
ton, and Delegates Hugh Reid of Arl-
ington, Wilbur C. Hall of Loudoun and
j. Fred Birrell of Alexandria, appeared
yesterday as co-SponsorS on joint bills
introduced in the Senate and House for
revision of the workmen'S compensa-
ton act. The bill was introduced in
the Senate by Senator Ball and in the
House by Delegate j. Vaughan Gray,
Richmond.
Benefits Increased.
Under the provisions of the revised
act both the proportionate amount of
the salary paid and the length Of time
that the worker can continue to re-
ceive compensation are greatly in
creased. The changes were recon-
mended by the American Federation
of Labor and formed one of the planks
Of Gov. Pollard's campaign platform.
One OF the most important changes
is the extension of the compulsory
medical attention time beyond the
present 60-day period. While the pres
ent minimum weekly compensation re-
mains at Sc per week, disabled en-
ployes would be permitted under the
revised act to collect as high as 1924
per cent of their weekly salary, pro-
viding it does not amount to more
than SIT per week, against a former
maximum of so per cent.
In summary of the changes that
accompanied the bills it is explained
that compulsory medical attention is
extended beyond the 60-day period be-
cause many injuries cannot receive
proper care during this period. This
amendment, 1t is claimed, is not OBJ
jectionable to the employers.
Other Important Changes.
Among other important changes are:
Compensation to begin the eighth
day instead of the eleventh day; ex-
tension of the maximum compensation
period from 800 weeks to 400 weeks:
increase of burial expenses from 500
and $3.50 to 5000, and increase of total
compensation from $4,000 to $1,000.
BY adoption of the proposed changes,
it was said, Virginia's compensation act
will be on a par with the average of
the other "A States in which compensa-
ton acts are in effect.
Under the new compensation scale
so weeks would be allowed for the loss
of thumb; IS weeks for q first finger;
second finger, 80 weeks; third finger,
20 weeks; fourth finger, Is weeks; great
toe, 80 weeks: any other toe, 10 weeks;
hand, $50 weeks; arm, 200 weeks; foot,
125 weeks; leg, ITS weeks; one eye,
100 weeks; ear, so weeks.

left Washington. They spent several
hours at the Club Marlboro. she said,
but twice left that establishment, one
time returning with a gallon of liquor,
