Injured Workers
Large Sum
AS Compensation

Injured industrial workers and
the dependents of those killed have
received $5,53S,S06.OO in work.
mems compensation during the six
years in which the compensation
act has been in force in North
Carolina, while $2,S52,o07.O0 has
been paid for medical, hospital,
nursing and other cure for the
rehabilitation of injured workers,
a total of $S,39o,S13.oo, the an
nual report of the N. c. Indus
trial commission shows.
During the six years 1926
workers were injured, an average
of 81 for each working day, and
S02 of these injuries resulted in
death. In the first year of the act,
1880, the largest number of in
juries occurred, 5000, and the
smallest number, 1866, occurred
in 1925. The largest number
of accidents was caused by handl-
ng--object, but the greatest cost
resulted from highway accidents,
the report reveals.
During the past year, ending
June. 80, 1885, the commission had
reports of 27,172 accidents, of
which 25,146 were male and 2,026
female workers. In this year ST.
100000 was paid out in COM
pensation and medical benefits to
and for injured workers in North
Carolina. Of this, $224,o96.oo
or 20 per cent of the total cost,
was paid as the result of injuries
to employees on the streets and
highways. Of the y deaths re-
ported last year, 80, or Al per cent,
were on the highways and streets.
In the year $254,o7S.oo was a
warded in compensation to the de-
pendents of the y workers killed
in employment.

Try To Mary Boss,
Business Girls Advised

New York.-The "boss" as a
matrimonial possibility was de-
bunked to an audience of New
York business girls here this week.
"As a marital CATCH the boss
has been vastly over-rated," said
Mrs. Elizabeth MacG ibbon, adviser
on office etiquette.
"He usually isn't a catch-he is
often bald"
She also said that "ofice wives"
boss secretary, soulmate, and
nurse-are on the wane. "The
modern girl has too much sense
to be one."
In a list of dos and dont's for
office conduct, Mrs. Mac Gibbon
warned against male chin-chuckers
and back slappers.
simply ignore them," she adj
vised. IF the man at the next desk
gets sentimental, laugh him off and
go on working. Don't take him ser
iously."
Asked what men resent most in
girl employees, she replied:
"Ofice scenes; tears and tan
trums, And they hate dressing
room primping."
A clean neck, said Mrs. MacGib-
bon, is often more important than
a college education. Every week
l hear of girls who lose jobs be-
cause Of dirty necks."
She ruled out perfume for office
wear. "You don't go to business
to be alluring."
AS for chivalry from male CO.
workers, "You needn't expect it
you won't get it."

the young are capable of caring for

The barred owl, like the rest of
his kin, has the ability to eject the
undigested parts of his food in
little round pellets. 1t is often pos
sible therefore to tell what the
birds have eaten by close inspection
of the bones of the elected pellets.
Their prey, unless too large, is
swallowed whole.
: 1t may be noted above that the
principal article of food is rats;
and SO, although they may make
use of a few chickens and birds,
their ability to eradicate vermin
so outweighs the value of the few
chickens they eat that they should
be protected where possible.

Luck To Governor

were directed by Freeman Gosden

The governor was back at his
work in his office when the tele-
gram came. He looked much bet

insisted on going to the office a
few hours daily though a kidney
ailment was bothering him.
I'VE hear you r slightly in

An IDIOTS Rules
For Driving

Always drive fast out of alleys.
You might hit a policeman. There's
no telling.
Always race with locomotives
to crossings. Engineers like it. 1t
breaks the monotony of their jobs.
Always pass the car ahead on
curves. Don't use your horn be-
cause it might unnerve the other
fellow and cause him to turn out
too far.
Demand half the road-the mid
die half. Insist on your rights.
Always lock your brakes when
skidding. 1t makes the job more
artistic. Often you can even turn
clear around.
Always drive close to pedestrians
in wet weather. Dry cleaners will
erect a monument to your memory.
Never sound your horn on the
road. Save it until late at night
for a doorbell. Few homes have
guns.
Take the shortest route around
blind left hand turns. The other
fellow can take care of himself if
you can.
Never look around when you
back up. There never is anything
behind your automobile.
A few shots of booze will en-
able you to make your car do real
stunts. For permanent results
quaf often and deeply of the flow
ing bowl before taking the wheel.
Drive as fast as you can on wet
pavements. There is always some
thing to stop you if you lose con-
trol-often a heavy truck or a
plate-glass window.
Never yield the road to the car
behind. The driver may be a boot
logger being pursued.
Never stop, look or listen at
J railroad crossings. 1t consumes
valuable time, and besides, nobody
believes in signs.
Lapse your insurance. Your
family will remember you kindly
anyway.-Ministers Casualty Un-

The Naturalist's Column
(By Frazer G. Poole)

In this column we have, in the
past been concerned with birds in
general. While there are a number
of birds, all equally interesting,
there is one with which it has been
my good fortune to deal more close
ly than with most others. This is
the barred owl, a bird that is found
as widely distributed in the United
States as any other owl. 1t breeds
from N. F. to 'Sask., Mont, COL,
Ark, Tenn, and Ga. With the pos
sible exception of the. screech owl
and horned owl no other American
owl covers such a wide range of
territory.
The barred owls are primarily in
habitants of the woodlands and for
the most part they remain in their
particular localities throughout the
year. In their nesting habits they re-
semble the majority of owls, nest
ing where possible in a hollow tree
or occasionally, perhaps, making
use of a deserted hawks or crows
nest. Their usual cry is a deep
toned whoo-whoo-whoo who-whoo
, to-whoo-ah. This may vary both in
length and in syllables and may
assume at times an almost human
sound. This cry, heard winging up
from the depths of a swamp in
the middle of the night, is perhaps
one of the most wierd sounds that
nature has to offer. 1t is a call that
is seldom forgotten, even by those
who generally pay no attention to
bird songs.
In Maryland, the barred owl be-
gins to nest around the 9Th of
March and the young are Matched
around the last of the month. The
usual number of eggs is two, al
though three and more rarely four
have been found. The eggs are
white and very nearly round; and
here it may be noted that almost
all birds who lay their eggs in some
dark place lay white eggs; e. g.;
kingfshers, bank swallows, and
woodPeckers.
When Matched the young are
covered with a soft white down
and are about the size of a young
chick. Beginning with the day they
come out of the egg they have
enormous appetites and both par
ents are kept busy supplying the
nestlings with food. They are ex-
tremely fond of rats and mice but
readily gobble up young chickens
or rabbits. In a period of two
weeks, during which I once OBJ
served a family of young owls, the
principal food was rats, although
moles, rabbits, young chickens, a
squirrel, and a few miscellaneous
birds were also a part of their diet.
The white down with which
they are covered when Matched
gives way within a week to a few
brownish feathers. Gradually the
birds assume the juvenile plumage
until by the end of the eighth or
ninth week they have acquired
the complete juvenile feathering.
At the end of this period their
tails are conspiciously barred, as is
also their breast. The eye rings,
however, have not widened to the
extent that is present in the adult
nor are the bars as narrow as they
are in the adult.
Beginning about the sixth week
the young commence to forage for
themselves and for the next three
or four weeks the young birds and
the adults live together. This liv-
ing together may last all summer
