KERN INTRODUCES A flEWJJBOR BILL Provides Compensation For U. S. Employes Suffering Injuries.

PRESENT LAW IS WEAK New Bill Covers aMny Shortcomings of Law in Effect Now. (Palladium Special) WASHINGTON, April 12 A bill providing compensation for employes of the United States suffering injuries or occupational diseases in the course of their employment, was introduced In the Senate today by Mr. Kern of Indiana. This bill has been drawn after careful investigation by the American Association for Labor Legislation and is to supplant the present law. Among the present law's numerous w eaknesses Is the fact that It embraces only one-third of the 350,000 federal employes, grants no relief for incapacity lasting less than fifteen days, makes no provision for medical treatment, and as the most liberal benefit grants only one year's wages even for total blindness, life-long disability or death. The original sponsors for the present law, passed May 30, 1908, now waste no words in its defense but fraDkly apologize for its shortcomings. "Not a revision," says Commissioner Charles P. Neill, "but a new law is needed." The Kern bill includes all civilian employes of the Government, it reduces the waiting time from fifteen days to three, and grants a liberal ecale of compensation during entire period of disability. Special provision is made for the prevention of accidents and occupational diseases in navy yards . and government workshops, and another new feature is compensation for occupational diseases such as lead poisoning. A commission of three Is provided to administer the law. "When Congress passes this bill," declare the authors of the measure, "the United States will come much nearer being a model employer and America will have, at least one compensation law up to the standard set by England, Switzerland and Germany." Solicitor Charles Earl for the Department of Commerce and Labor recently reported that government employes Buffered 21,000 serious accidents, 670 of which were fatal, during the past three years. But in only onethird of these, cases was any compensation paid to the injured workman or his dependents, because two-thirds of Uncle Sam's employes are unprovided for under the present law. "For them," says Solicitor Earl, who has passed upon the legal questions arising under the act, "no relief was available: the maxi mthat the sovereign can do no wrong still applies." It is pointed out by Senator Kern that his bill would remedy this situation for all time and that it would also render unnecessary the embarrassing and time-consuming Epecial legislation which in the form of a separate relief bill for each injured person has at each session of Congress occupied much attention to the exclusion of other important business. The Kern bill, it Is argued, would merely extend the compensation principle already adopted by the federal government and by eighteen individual states, in the interest of economy, efficiency and justice. Our Universe of Stars. The particular universe of stars in which we dwell is half again as large la scale as the world has been supposing. Our own sun la still youthful and keeps traveling northwardly through space at the comparatively leisurely p::ce of twelve miles per second, or only two-thirds the average speed of stars of its own class. The north star Is not really a single star, but triple, consisting of three suns revolving alout a common center. These are some of the recent discoveries of the Lick observatory, the famous graduate astronomical department of the University of California.

How American Women May Keep Faces Young "The American smart woman ages early, far earlier than the English woman," says Christian Miller, F. C. I., the famous English health expert. She adds that our climate "so exhilarathes that you over-exert yourselves and grow old before you know it. That same exhilarating air dries the skin. The skin that lacks moisture grows pale and withered looking and soon forms wrinkles. "The American complexion" is best treated by applying pure mercolized wax. which causes the faded, lifeless cuticle, to flake off in minute particles, a HtUe each day, until the fresh, young skin beneath is wholly in evidence. Every druggist has this wax; one ounce is sufficient Spread on at night like cold cream, washing it off next morning. For wrinkles, dissolve an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel; bathe the face in this. Immediately every wrinkle is affected, even the deeper lines. Both treatments are remarkable facial rejuvenators. (Advertisement.)

MARK

Helen Keller conversing with Mrs. John Macy, her friend, by means of putting her fingers on the lips of the latter, and, below, Don Jaimel, the second 6on of the King of Spain, who, like Miss Keller, is deaf and dumb, though not blind. BOSTON, April 12. It is well within probability that the deaf, dumb and blina Helen Keller, who, in the words of Maetterlinck, has "conquered silence and darkness," may go to Spain to help Don Jaime, the deaf and dumb little son of the King and Queen of Spain. This little Prince, whose pitiful case has aroused the sympathy of the whole of Europe for his heartbroken mother, Queen Ena, is believed to have a big chance of partly recovering his lost senses if placed in charge of the wonderful American girl, whose perseverance surmounted the obstacles with which she was handicapped by Nature. Queen Ena has read a great deal of Miss Keller and has sent representatives to America to make sure that all that has been written was true. She has received this desired official confirmation and will soon make a flattering offer to Miss Keller to induce her to aid the afflicted little Prince. Deaths and Funerals.

The Giants have asked for waivers on Pitcher liader. Clyde Milan says he is not going after a base stealing record this year. for. he 6ays. promiscuous base stealing throws away many chances to win games. "I am for the team first and myself second." he says. Connie Mack is the latest big league chief to announce his Intention of abandoning the spring barn storming next year. Eddie Ainsmith is batting so much better this year that Griffith ays he expects him to be as good a hitting catcher as Alva Williams was last season. George Mogridge, known as Lefty has mastered a sharp breaking curve ball and accordingly has been noraL nated by Jimmy Callahan for a regular turn on the Blab for the White Sox. The complete list of towns that are besieging the Phillies for the honor of being chosen as the 1914 training camp is made up of Wilmington, Fayetteville, Durham and Raleigh, all in North Carolina. George McBride Is beginning his sixth year with the Senators. Since he has been with the team he has missed only eight games during the regular season. It is reported from Chicago that Evers will release Red Corriden, who was obtained by the Cubs in the Chance deal, and also Martin Berghammer, another shortstop candidate, as well as one of the young catchers Heckinger or Cotter. CapL Danny Murphy, veteran outfielder, is directing the Athletics in the series with the Phillies, Connie Mack still being In the South with some of the youngsters. The Reds executed the first triple play of the season recently in a game with Chattanooga. Men were on first and second and a hit and run play was attempted. The batter lined into the hands. of Joe Tinker, who tossed to Egan at second, the latter relaying to Hoblitzell.' Financial failure of the Troy club of the New York State League has made it likely that the team will be switched to either Reading or Schenectady next year, both towns being loud In their clamor for league ball. Tinker has clashed with Herrmann, has won out and the owner Is pleased over the fact that he at last has ar manager with some will power. Herrmann had wired Tinker to bring the Reds to Cincinnati sooner than expected for a game with a semi-professional nine. Tinker preferred to keep the team at Louisville for practice and told Hermann he would not do so. And he didn't. Only three recruits will be retained by the Red Sox despite promise shown by others, according to report. The successful ones are Pitchers Leonard and Foster and Infielder Janvrin. Kid Elberfeld. realising that his Chattanooga minor leaguers were certain to lose most of the games with the major league barnstormers, adopted a unique plan for shortening the games. He had his team bat first, which saved half an inning's time, as the visiting ouio aiirsu uau me game on ice when the last of the ninth arrived.
