CHART CALCULATES
INCAPACITY DEGREE
Relative Values of Injuries
Computed by Chart
in Percentage.

PARIS, June ga table for CAL
culating degrees of incapacity, which
answers the question as to whether
an arnlless or a legless man is more
disabled, has just been published by
the Association des Industries de
France.
Accident statistics obviously call
for some table of relative values, but
it seemed impossible to express
automatically the incapacities re-
sulting from accidental injuries.
Permanent disablement of three
fingers is equal in value to perma-
nent disablement of one thumb and
one finger, according to the French
table. This type of injury is equiva-
lent to the loss Of 1900 work days.
The values for disablement are
given in terms of percentage of to-
tai. In this table death and perma-
nent total disablement have each a
value of 100.
Loss of sight in both eyes, also has
a value of 100 Loss Of sight in one
eve is 80. Los of hearing in both
ears is so, loss of hearing in one
ear. 10. Loss of one leg above the
knee is rs, or three-fourths of total
disablement, but loss Of one leg at
or below the knee is so, one-half OF
total disablement.
Permanent disablement of one
thumb and four fingers has the
same value as loss of one foot, 40.
The loss of time in work days for
these two injuries is given at 2,400.

Ohio Governor HurIS Denial
of Hoover Statement on
Wheat Surplus.

BIZ Times Special
FRENCH LICK, Ind, June 3.-In
a gesture Of Governor George White
OF Ohio this morning, visiting Gov
ernors and the press saw another
hat go sailing toward 1925 presi-
Dental campaign ring.
Governors Albert Richie Of Mary
land, Franklin D. Roosevelt Of New
York and Clifford Pinchot of Penn
sylvania, all well recognized stock
for the big race next year, poured
their thunder into the annual Gov
errors conference Tuesday. but, abb
sent from the speakers list, Gov
ernor White was denied that breach
to early entry into the competition.
Delivers Mild Thrust
Today he handed to newspaper
men covering the conference a
statement that obviously sought
farmer goodwill and delivered a
mild thrust to the current Repub-
lican national administration.
Contradicting President Hoover'S
recent statement that the nations
wheat surplus constituted world
problem, Governor White said the
situation could be controlled in this
country by a reversal of a program
that saved millions of bushels of
what during the war years more
than a decade ago.
BY comparative figures, the Demo-
cratic Governor from Ohio showed
that the annual per capita con-
sumption Of wheat today is less
than it was in 1917. However, he
made no mention of the use of
wheat for Intoxicating liquors be-
fore prohibition.
Demand Would Expand
If the consumption of wheat
could be restored to its pre-war
figure, domestic demand for the
crop would expand 125,000,0OO
bushels annually, he contended.
Wheat, more than railroads or
steel, is the real index of national
well-being," said Governor White.
He urged a wheat" cam
paign sponsored nationally with
state cooperation, similar to the
save wheat" campaign inaugurated
when America was in the war.

President Paul Won Hindenburg

Radical reductions in unemploy-

and civil service salaries, as well as
an increase in income and other
taxes, are scheduled to be included
in the projected decree.
The Presidents proposed action
at this strategic juncture will be

Mayor Raps Dry Rule.
He warned the House that unless Illi-
nois repealed its prohibition laws, 1t
would find itself left outside the bene-
fitS of modification of the VolStead act
which he predicted would occur at the
next session of Congress.
Mayor Thompson wrote: THE Amer
lean search and seizure bill is an insult
to the Constitution and every lover OF
liberty who has defended our flag.
This and other insane prohibition
legislation is responsible in large part
for the crime wave winch mas sweep
the Nation, has added to and assisted
In the business depression and the
crushing Of the worker.
Calls Law Failure.
Judge Lyle wrote: In my Judgment
the EFFORT to stamp out the liquor traf-
nc through nationel prohibition acts
has proven a failure. I favor such
modification as will continue to elimi-
nate forever the saloon and at the
same time destroy the profits which
now how into the pockets of criminals
and are used to finance organized
crime"
Taking up the dry" side, George H.
Wilson of Quincy, said:
Repeal would be productive of law
lessness. Illinois would become the
rendezvous of rum runners, bootleggers
and moonShiners."
