BOYLES COLLEGE
MEETS HELP NEEDS-
Demand for Efficient Assist
ants to Business Men Led to
Organization of Commer
cial School.
Boyles Business College
"ufteen years as court reporter had
n.wn to H. B. Boyles the results of
incompetence. Years of experience
in competent positions with the Union
Pacific and the Pullman car com
canies had pointed out to him the
difficulty business men experienced
in obtaining efficient help.
Determined to alleviate to some
degree the condition in which many
young men of promise were placed,
he founded Boyles college. Two
small rooms constituted the first
Boyles college. At the present time
there are two thoroughly equipped
business colleges, one in Omaha and
one in Council Bluffs.
Every year hundreds of educated
young men are turned out from the
portals of this institution able to
overcome the problems of inefficiency.
From the very outset Boyles college
has made it a special part of its serv
ice to locate each and every one of
its graduates in some responsible po
sition. It is a men.ber of the National As
sociation of Accredited Business Col
leges. This means that'the college
maintains the highest educational and
business standards. It means that
the courses of studv prescribed in
that institution are adequate and ef
ficient. A commercial training school like
Boyles college is not only a credit to
the city in which it stands, but is a
necessity to that city. Omaha's rap
idly growing manufact"-: -'''-tries,
its developing commcrciaj lines,
its expanding banks, all demand men
of the distinctive class men who are
j !e to leap ahead once they have set
the right foot lorward.
Boyies college is now the largest
business college in the. middle west.
It is centrally located in Omaha, be
tween the Young Men's Christian as
sociation, on the east,' and the public
library on the west. It is three stories
in height and occupies a half block.
This is the fifteenth year of its ac
tivity. "
Omaha Russian Believes
In Backing Eastern Front
Nathan Yaffe, of S12 South Six
teenth street has written .i letter to
.Secretary of State Lansing regarding
the situation in Russia.
Mr. Yaffe is a Russian by birth, but
has been naturalized in this country.
He has been in Russia for many years
and has studied the Russian people,
His idea is that the need of the Rus
sians is leaders and that they can be
secured in this country.
The plan for the, reorganization of
the Russian army is to take the na
turahzed Russians in this country
that are called in the first draft and
instead of sending them to France,
tend them to the eastern front.
He thinks that the men of Russian
tongue dressed in Yankee uniform
would put more fight into the Rus
sians.

ties and has the approval of the War

Public Health Service Wants
More Quarantine Barracks
' t Washington, July 22. Innticipa
tion of the return of sick and wound
ed soldiers bringing contagious and
infectious diseases, the federal public
health service plans to construct ad
ditional quarantine barracks on sev
eral Atlantic seaboard sites.
A request for 4559,270 for this pur
pose is included in the $1,000,000 esti
mates submitted to the house for
public health service requirements.
These include also $300,000 for a cam
paign of co-operation with state and
municipal health authorities to com
bat diseases which, it is feared, may
be brought from Europe by return
ing soldiers.

COMPENSATION LAW
IN EFFECT JULY 24
Employers Who Are Not In
sured by That Time Are
Liable in Case of Any
Accidents.
Employers of labor who do not in
sure their liability to cover accidents
to their employes after Tuesday of
this week, July 24, and thus choose
not to operate under the workmen's
compensation law, will subject them
selves to suits for damages in all
cases of accidents, and at the same
time deprive themselves of the three
common law defenses: assumption of
risk, negligence of fellow servant and
contribututory negligence.
ine new workmen s comnensation
law, with the amendments adopted
at the last session of the legislature
becomes effective July 24.
fcvery employer of one or more
persons, excepting farmers, house
holders and railroads employed in
interstate commerce, conies under the
provisions of the act.
1 he former law mane onlv those
responsible who employed five or
more persons in their business. Un
der the amendments all those employ
ing one or more persons come under
the law's provisions.
This will take in a much larger
field than the old law, for the reason
that under the old provision a large
percentage of the small retailers and
other small concerns in the coumtry
towns escaped on the grounds or not
employing five persons,
Keep Employes Insured.
Under one of the amendments em
ployers are now required to keep in
sured sufficiently to cover damaees
for personal injury or death to their
employes; or to furnish to the com
pensation commissioner satisfactory
proof of financial ability to pay direct
the compensation in the amount and
manner, and when due as provided for
in tne act.
Not only does the revised statute
cover a larger field of employers in
the state, but it shortens the time
elapsing between the accident and
when the liability begins to run from
two weeks to one.
The new law further "increases the
amount of liability from 50 per cent
of the injured one's salary, to 66 2-3
per cent
Price Fixed by Law.
Under the old law there was a
schedule of liability fixed for the loss
of a hand, a foot, a leg, or an eye.
Under the new law there is a long
and detailed schedule of liability for
disememberment Every joint of the
finger is here listed with its price.
Every finger of the hand is evaluated.
Every toe and every joint of the toe
is listed with its price. "This is con
tinued down through a long list.
This detailing of the schedule is
considered to be an advantage in
that it eliminates all possibility of dis
pute as to liability m minor injuries
and makes the law definite sna-cer-tain.
N
Under the old law, the amount of
liability for the first twenty-one days
following the injury, was limited to
$200. Under the new law the time is
unlimited in this provision in case of
dismemberment, or a major surgical
operation. 4

from 50 per cent of the wage for the
first 350 weeks, with a maximum of
$o per week, and a maximum amount
payable of $J,50C; to 66 and 2-3 per
cent of the wage for 350 weeks, with a
maximum of $12 and a minimum of
$0 per week, and the maximum
amount payable $4,200, plus funeral
expenses not to exceed $100.
The weekly disability benefit was
formerly 50 per cent of the wage with
a maximum of $10 and a minimum of
$5 a week for the first 300 weeks,
thereafter 40 per cent of the wages,
with a maximum of $8 and a minimum
of $4 per week during the remainder
of the disability.
Now the weekly disability benefit
will be 66 and 2-3 per cent of the
wage, maximum $12 and minimum $6
per week, for the first 310 welks of
disability, thereafter 45 per cent of
the wage maximum 9, minimum
$4.50 per week, during the life of the
employe where disability continues.
Formerly the law required the pay
ment of specific benefits on the basis
of 50 per cent of the wage for the
loss of an arm, hand, foot, leg, or
eye.
Specific Benefits.
Now the law will require specific
benefits in the amount of 66 2-3 per
cent of the wage, and will call for
specific payments in case of loss of
fingers, toes, ears, nose, oi other
members as well.
Now the law will require the em
ployer to carry insurance in a com
pany licensed and admitted in Nebras
ka or to make a satisfactory showing
of solvency to the compensation com
missioner of the state. Failure of the
employer to do either is taken to
mean that he elects on his own part,
not to operate under the compensa
tion law. It- is this situation that
makes him subject to lawsuits when
accidents occur in his plant, and it is
in this case that he is deprived of or
dinary legal defenses, thus penalizing
himself.
Many Omaha contractors, and big
wholesalers having traveling men
working in South Dakota, are inter
ested in the fact that a workmen's
compensation law went into effect in
that state also for the first time July

Official notice has been received by
H. D. Walker deputy grand master
workman of the grand lodge of the
state of Nebraska, that State Insur
ance Commissioner English of Iowa
has disapproved the proposed rein
surance of Nebraska membership of
the Ancient Order of United Work
men by the grand lodge of Iowa.
The ruling of the Iowa insurance
commissioner affects a large member
ship in Omaha and vicinity, making it
necessary for those members who
had expected to reinsure with the
Iowa grand lodge to at once pay up
their assessments in Nebraska in
order to protect their beneficiary cer
tificates in the order.
Workmen of the lodges of Omaha
who tried to bolt to Iowa will either
have to pay up their dues in the
Nebraska grand lodge or give up the
Workmen insurance altogether.

American Training Camp in France,
July 22. The American troops here
will extend the scope of their train
ing on Monday by beginning to prac
tice bomb and hand grenade throw
ing. The majority of the officers, in
cluding even from the general staff,
have already experimented success
fully along this lino and with the aid
of expert French assistants-will be
able to instruct the men.
From all appearances today the
Americans should be able to become
speedily very proficient in this mode
of wariare. Ihe majority of the sol
diers have played base ball more or
less and naturally throw well. As
far as the officers as a whole have
pitted their skill against the trained
and expert frenchmen they have out
distanced the French throwers and
have shown quite as much accuracy
in hurling at marks.
American Wife Divorced

New York, July 22. A divorce to

Czaky was formerly Mrs. Robert D.
Inman. Before that marriage, which
was followed by a divorce, she was
the widow of Montgomery Bryan of
San Francisco. Count Czaky is a
cousin of Count Ladislas Szechenyi,
husband of the former Glady Van-derbilt.
