Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1929 - LARGE SUMS PAID FOR COMPENSATION The summary of figures for The Work- men's Compensation Board of Ontario for the year 1928 shows that there has been awarded in benefits during the year $7,067,946.93, as compared with $6,084,654.87 during the prior year, the present year's fig- ures being made up of $5,901,439.39 compen- sation anda $1,166,507.54 medical aid. The accidents reported numbered 79,398, 2s compared with 71,979 accidents during 1927. 'T'he fatal accidents showed an in- crease from 429 during 1927 to 553 during 1928. In December there were 6,455 acci- dents reported including 36 fatalities which was somewhat lower than November when 7,021 reports were received including 51 fa- talities, Commenting on these figures R. B. Mor- ley, general manager of the Industrial Acci- dent Prevention Associations has called at- tention to the division of employers by the Compensation Act into Schedules 1 and 2 and Crown Cases, The Crown Cases are those of the Federal and Provincial Govern- ments. Schedule 2 includes the steam and electric railways, the telegraph and tele- phone companies, school boards, munici- palities, etc. In Schedule 1 there are approximately twenty-five thousand in- dustries, these being by payroll largely the manufacturing interests of the Province in which there has been a remarkable increase in employment over former years. The plants included in Schedule 1 show- ed an increase in the number of accidents in January only when the figures were lower than in 1927, The total medical aid awarded in Schedule 1 in 1928 shows an increase of over one hun- dred thousand dollars and total compensa- tion awards over six hundred thousand dol- lars. The accident fund of the Board re- ceived several heavy blows during 1928 in- cluding the Manassoo disaster and the Holl- inger fire. Records now available indicate an increase in 1928 over 1927 of eight per cent. in em- ploymént, an increase of eleven per cent. in total number of accidents reported to the Workmen's Compensation Board and an in- crease of sixteen per cent. in total awards by the Board. : TRADING IT IN Companies with many salesmen, each of whom requires an automobile to call on his rage, have evolved several methods of keep- ing track of car costs, and at the same time 1 nese methods vary in particulars, but they are all directed to the same end--fairness to the company, fairness to the salesman, 2nd the détermination of the exact point at whieh it is advantageous to dispose of the car and obtain a new one. : In nearly all these schemes it is not > per mile that the company is interested in, +o much as it is the profitable life of the car. 1n the life of every car the moment arrives | v.nen it is more profitable to trade it in for . new car than to pay for ever-increasing airs and renewals. Beyond that point, its . se depreciates with great rapidity. Several years of experience have taught company the average life of each type of «_. it owns. Depreciation is charged off ac- cordingly. If a salesman has taken such | care of his car that at the end of its aver age life it is still running efficiently and economically, the car is kept in service and depreciation is no longer charged against it, thus producing an immediate saving in the salesman's expense account. Thus the sales- man has a real inducement to treat his car carefully. : It would be a good thing for the private car owner if he, too, were to keep books on his car, giving it a certain life, charging monthly depreciation against it, and then trying, by taking extra good care of the ma- chine, to lengthen its average life period dnd thus build up a bonus for himself. By this method, too, he would soon be able to figure the moment when it would be better to trade the car in than to begin rebuilding it. It doesn't take much effort to keep tab, and in the long run it is profitable, HARNESSING THE TIDES All that man really needs may be derived from the earth, The overplus of energy is calling upon him to partake, without money and without price. The initial outlay will be made negligible by the stupendous returns when man arrives at the point of harnes- sing the tides and making volcanoes do his work for him, Any natural force is possible of conver- sion to man's use. All natural power lies potentially in the hands of man, He has never before studied the tides as he is doing today and, while warning is issued not to become too cocksure in advance of accomp- lishment, the magic of turning the tides to the ends of enterprise is already docketed as one of the forthcoming triumphs of inven- tion and enterprise. Private interests are at work upon the problem in the Bay of Fundy, and in the vi- cinity of Brest. In the former locality the range of the tides is as much as forty feet. What vast energy such a lift and drop rep- resents! This feat of engineering economics will be achieved, although one need not be in a hurry to buy issues of ocean-power stock, remembering always the classic ob- session of another century, the South Sea Bubble, Whatever difficulties lie in the way of the economic engineers who seek to drag Eolus from his ocean lair and harness him to the tides, the cosmic energies which lurk at the base of volcanoes will give these men of skill a phenomenally hard run for their money be- fore they yield service to man, Light, heat and power all are waiting to be garnered from volcanoes. The power now wasted by the tides and volcanoes, if conserved, would revolutionize the world. EDITORIAL NOTES Home is where the keys were left, in the other pants of the two-pants suit.

The influenza epi- demic is the cause of quite a de- crease in the number of students at- tending as well as in the teaching staff. Mr, O'Neill, Principal; Miss Jones and Mrs. Hezzelwood are the teachers who have been unable to be present this week. However they say the epidemic is abating so let's hope for the best from now on, LJ Today sees the opening of the bas- ketball season for all the teams of the school, The boys senior and junior teams make the trip to Vau- ghan Road High School for their games with the senior and junior teams of that school and the girls teams have as their visitors the girls senior and junior teams from Scar- 'boro High School, All four games mark the opening of this division of the Toronto and District, league, 0» It was not until yesterday that the girls decided to enter their league and for this reason had given over their gym nights of this week to the boys teams. However they worked in an hour's practice last night which freshened them up con- siderably, ¢ & ® The boys have had four strenuous practices this week which have put them in far better condition than they were previous to the Christmas holidays. Both junior and senior squads have been thinned out con- has decided to supply free Watery Extract of Liver for treatment of this ailment, Dr, Godfrey states "It has been my policy that no person shall die in this Ontario of ours just because he, or she, hasn't the price to pay for the cure required." "The distribution of free insulin which controls diabetes in older folks, and affects a cure in younger ones, now costs the Province of On- | tario $50,000 a year, and the distrf- bution of Liver Extract will cost a good many thousand more, but it is a noble work, and one which will receive the heartfelt gratitude of many sufferers', | My idea in mentioning the above is that the very thought that what was form:rly a fatal ailment can | now be cured by the simple method | of liver or liver extract should be such an inspiration. to gevernments and private individuals, that funds for work in other lines of medical research should be fortheoming, | For after all can anything give the satisfation that comes with the knowledge that gomethine you have done has prevented suffering and actual'y saved the life of a hu'ran being. | (Registered in accordance with | the Copyright Act.) | PRICELESS LYRICS WEP" WRITTF® BY CANADIA™ POFT Duncan Campbel' Scott Re tained O iginal Spring and Freshness Toronto, Ont., Jan. 11 -- The poetry of Duncan Camp.ell Scott was described in an illuminating aduress by Prof. Peluam kdgar be- fore the Canadian Lit.rature Club. Scott, he sald, had written three or four priceless lyrics, though the total cutput of his work had not been very comsiderable in view of the years he had been writing. "He has kept to the original spring and freshn:ss. I think the | poetry he is writing now is as virile and sane and thoughtful as when | he was young, and it has the added depth and significance of the man's mraturity," said Prof. Edgar. Dr. Scott, in the lecturer's opin- ion held a unique position among all poets .of his time, because of the opportunities he has had as Deputy Head of the Indian Department to study the aboriginal inhabitants of the county. This was reflected in his understanding poems relating to the Indians and in his close studies of nature in various moods.

No definite means of transportation has ever been provided for the play- ers and therefore the matter has In most cases ultimately fallen on their own shoulders which should not be. With many other demands the boys athletic society has not sufiic'ent funds to provide transpor- tation except in the case of s me very special or necessary event and players do not think it fair that they should be burdened with this recpon- s'bility whenever they are scheduled to play games away from home. LJ LJ Ld The question of the moment which is floating around the school is "What are they doing to the audi- torium stage?"'--Well allow us to present the explanation. At present the stage is equipped with draw curtains of b'ue velvet topped with a valance of the same material edg- ed with gold. These were purchased several years ago at quite an = ex- pense and therefore no steps t- wards the c mpletion of the stage decora- ticn have been tal:en of late. However it has been decided to continue the decorating now and that is the reason for the present dismantled condition of the stage. * * " The new equipment will incude a large back curtain and two sets of wing curtains both of g-lden brown velvet. This whole set is being ar- ranged so that it may be all pushed to-the rear of the stage when de- gired. The front curtains are to be cleaned and rehung. The arrangement has been care- fully planned and the new hangings when finally placed will without a to our excellent audtiorium. The expense is to be overcome in an appropriate manner. The pro- ceeds of both the teachers and stu- dents' dramatic societies' entertain- ments will go to that cause and it is thought that they will be suffi- cient. The students' entertainment will follow the teachers' which is ex- pected in the near future, . A hockey meeting was called for Wednesday afternoon and if num- bers mean anything Mr. Patterson, coach, is going to have some hockey team to represent the O.C.I. this year; about 35 signed the recruiting slip but whether or mot this means anything remains to be found out. * Wx * The 50 per cent. rule which says a boy cannot play hockey for any school unless he has a standing of 50 per cent. or over on his terms work has affected several of the schools best hockey players and thus the team will be without their ser- vices.

The general health of the Eskimos there is very good. An epidemic among the children occurred dur- ing the winter in the native settle- ment around Frobisher Bay, and thirty-five deaths resulted, mostly to children under five years of age. The outbreak had passed when the Beothic called at Lake Harbour, the nearest post, and the natives were in excellent health and spirits, Practically all the native settle- ments on Baffin Island were visit- ed by members of the various Royal Canadian Mounted Police detach- ments during their patrols, and the natives were reported as a uniform- ly fine type, well-nourished, gener- ally free from d'sease, and conten- ted, The few cases of destitution for which relief had to be provided during th~ winter were those of 'ged persons, Food Plentiful Food animals were plentiful, seal and walrus abounding. The fur catch was reported as small, but this apparently did not affect the natives detrimentally, The 1928 patrol of the Arctic Islands was successful and satisfac- tory reports were brought back from the north. All of the posts were visited and re-provisioned, and considerable scientific and other data was collected. As expected, Bache Peninsula was not reached, but supplies were landed near-by for removal by dog- slcd or power boat. When a post was establiched at this isolated point, officials of the Department of the Interior considered the work could be carried on if a supply ship was sucecssful in visiting the post -very second year. The Lieothic has been alle to reach its vicinity each year since its establishment, sail- ing into the port last year and forcing her way to within a short qistance of the objective thir year, 'f Smith Sound ever close' with ice, the ofifcers and natives on Cache Peninsula would not suffer, as the post has a res:rve supply of coal and provision sufficient for three yecrs. Weather Conditions Weather conditfons during the voyare of the Beothic wire mruch Letter than during the 1927 patrol. the only trouble experienced was when the expedition was in the vicinity of Eache Peninsula, Cana- da's farthest northern outpost, An enthusiastic welcc®:e was giv- en the personnel of the B othic when she arrived at GoZhaven, Creenland, on the morning of July 26. The local periiament was ad- lourn-d, and in the absence of the Governor, the visitors were the 7vests of the Act'ng Governor and other Danish officials.

Of all gcientific men Dr. Ching- 1 Ju found, physicians are the hard- est to lead to the altar, Dr, | Ching-Ju does not pretcnd to say | why this is so in the case ofphysi- ciars., He merely po'nts out that in any gathering of 1,000 physi- cists, 580 of them may be exp.cied to be eligible, but confirmed bach- elors. Only 42 pcrcent or pny.i- cans ma'ry, and, for that matter, only 46 per cert of the chemists, Exactly half the agriculturists, en 'neers and geologists avoid the wedding rirg successfully. P'sychologists Easiest But the strangest reve ation of the survey concerrs the psycholo- gists, They deal with the nuances of the mind, and are popu.arly credited with bein the subtlest of all fighte's on the fronters of knowledge. Ard yet the woman who has a tamed psychologi:t in her home has little to boast about, The psycho ogists are push-overs and marry at the rate of 72 percent. Dr. Ching-Ju spent a great deal of his time ascertaining the median a_e at which the various classes of sciertists softened up and became suscepti_le to the charms of what- ever ladies took a fancy to them. Bacteriologists succumb mostly at 27, and are the first to marry, he found. The last to give in are the rh ric'sts and medicy]l mea, who weaken, if at all, at the mean age of 30. -- SIRT STOCKS StoBIE-FORLONG 6B BOUNDS Head Office: Reford Bu BAY AND WELLINGTON STS S. F.
