INSURANCE GROUP
TO HOLD MEETING
Virginia Workers Compensa-
ton Study Body to Meet
in Richmond.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
Stan CORRESPONDENT OF The Star.

CLARENDON, Va, July 5.-Delegate
Hugh Reid Of Arlington County, sponsor
Of the joint resolution passed at the
last session of the General Assembly
for the creation OF a commission for
the study of the workmen's compensa-
ton act, with q view to the creation of
State insurance fund, will call meet
ing Of the commission at Richmond for
the latter part Of this month, he an
nourced today.
While this commission has never had
a meeting, and therefore has not Sc
lected a chairman or secretary, Reid
stated that 1t was customary for the
sponsor of the measure creating such
a commission to call the first meeting,
and that he thinks the work facing
the body is of such magnitude as
to require an immediate start.
Commission Named.
The resolution set the membership
of the commission at seven, three to be
appointed from the House of Delegates,
two from the Senate and two by the
Governor. Those selected from the
House are Reid, Delegate Fred B. Greear
of Wise and Delegate j. Brady Altman
of Rocky Mount Members from the
Senate are Senators Waller Holiday,
Richmond, and John A. Lesner, Norfolk.
The Governors appointeeS are DR.. j. A.
c. Chandler, president of William and
Mary College, and DR.. Tucker, pro-
feSsor of economics OF Washington and
Lee College.
The first meeting will be primarily
for organization. A permanent chair
man and secretary are to be selected
and a procedure arranged. 1t is also
hoped to make arrangements for any
gathering Of data.
There was passed at the last session
bill increasing the awards under the
workmen's compensation act, but the
increases were not nearly so large as
were sought by the sponsors and the
Virginia Federation Of Labor. at whose
request the bill was introduced. The
reason for the amendment of the bill!
and its passage in the amended form
was due to the opinion of a majority
Of the legislators that the rates under
the present system are too high to
shoulder any large additional expense
on the employers who must take out
the insurance.
Thinks Rates May Decrease.
keid thinks that the rates could be
made very much less by the creation of
State insurance fund and the re-
moval of the insurance from private
companies. Such funds are in existence
in West Virginia, Ohio and q number
of other States, he claims, and have
been beneficial to both the employer
and the employe, the former beneflting
by the smaller expense and the latter
by the larger awards that are possible
In pointing out the necessity for q
thorough study Of this problem before
the next General Assembly, Reid stated
that an additional increase of 6 per cent
in rates has been granted to the in
surance companies by the State Corpo-
ration Commission since the close Of the
past session. This increase Is made
he explained. to make the rate conform
with the increase in compensation.

Browerville Young Man
Scores Heavily as Artist
Joseph Kiselewski to Carve Statue
of Casimir Pulaski, RevOlu-
tiOnary War Hero

Browerville, Mimi, Feb. Is
Once again citizens of this little
community are talking about an
other achievement of "the home
town boy who made good"
Joseph Kiselewski, Browerville
youth who won the coveted prize in
the sculpture division of the prix
de Rome of the American Academy
in Rome and who also was award
ed scholarship in Paris by the
New York Beauty Arts Institute of
Design, has scored another triumph
in the sculptural world.
The Minnesota youth, who was
the guest of honor at civic cele-
bration few months ago when he
returned to visit his parents who
reside on farm near Browerville,
has been selected to carve the
huge statue of Count Casimir Pu-
laski, American Revolutionary war
hero, to be placed in Kosciusko
park in Milwaukee.
When he was 20 years old,
Kiselewski left the farm and went
to the Twia Cites to study art
Encouraged by his instructor at
the Minneapolis School of Art, the
country lad went to New York in
1923 to continue his study.
Competing with 35 other artists,
the Gopher boy won the Paris
scholarship with design for a
memorial tablet to Bertram Gros-
venor Goodhue, American archi-
tect. His design was judged the
finest submitted and this won him
the chance to study abroad.
When a child, Joseph always lik
ed to draw and frequently could
be found molding designs out of
mud. The chores on the farm did
not attract him, his father, Blagey
Kiselewski, admitted. But his
parents did not discourage him, nor
did they encourage him.
Less than year after he was
awarded the $1,000 Paris scholar
ship, he entered the Prix de Rome
contest. He was awarded first
prize in the sculpture division and
was given a three-year scholarship
course.
During his preliminary training
in the Twin Cities, the lad was a
protege of Colonel and Mrs. L. H.
BritIIn in st. Paul.

Fire Losses in Minnesota
Forests Larger in 1929
1928 Damage Far Exceeded When
1882 Fires Are Listed in
Report

st. Paul. Feb. 10-Forest fires
caused $290,502 loss in Minnesota
during 1929, according to a report
compiled by A. E. Pimley, assistant
state forester, in charge of fire
prevention. A total of 1901 .599
acres of land was burned over by
1892 individual fires, the report
shows.
Damage exceeded, by far, that
done by blazes in 1928, when 125.0O0
acres were burned over. Last
years fires also exceeded the dva-
year average, ending 1928. which
is 250.299 acres.
Dry weather resulted in unfavor-
able conditions in 1929, causing dis
astrous fires. from the early par.
of the summer until late in the
season. when the blazes developed
in the Brule district, and the War
road Baudette area
Fires nearly doubled in number
compared with the five-year aver
age, which stands at 1,228. There
were 1271 fires in 1928, when the
damage was estimated at $76,360.
There was a decrease, however, in
the average damage per acre which
was placed at $1.31.
This reduction is made possible.
Mr.. Pimley said, by the moderniza-
ton of forest fire fighting methods
and equipment. These enable fire
fighters to get at forest fires earlier
than previous. and to prevent their
rapid spread.
Despite the increase in the fire
hazard during 1929, patromen and
rangers were able to reduce the
loss because of better organization.

(. Wheat Into Background
The Cackle of the Modest Hen is
Worth More Than $4,000 to

st. Paul, Feb. -Minnesota's
hens did their duty in 1929, produc-
ing $40,292, 900 worth of eggs which
placed them far ahead of wheat,
barley, fax or potatoes, as produc-
ers of wealth for the farmers, a
report issued today by N. j. Holm
berg, state commissioner of agri-
culture, shows.
Efforts of the hens during last
year resulted in an increase of 81
100000 dozen more eggs than in
1928 and together with higher av-
erage price, brought the value of
the eggs produced to $2,524. 600
more than 1928.
In the mean time while all
spring and winter wheat raised in
Minnesota during 1929, based on
December I prices, had a value OF
only little more than one-half
that of the eggs produced, value of
the wheat being $21 zoos, 00O Value
of the barley was $28,512,000; fax,
$13 100000, and potatoes, $25 $4,000
