Camping at Pellican Lake
The report sifted through, as such
news is wont to travel, that fishing
is good at Pellican Lake, Minn., and
no sooner was the fact known here,
than a number of our lovers of fish
ing and outdoor exercise, organized
for an expedition to that place. Rex

Clymer and family and Ivan Arm

necessary tackle and other equip

state. The trip was made in four

is hoped by their many friends that
they will have an abundance of fish
when they return and we are posing
as one of their especial friends.

Fred Ethrege. who have been in the

Branson and Hallister, which are
but a few miles apart, and where
they have relatives and friends.
This is the region where Harold
Belle Wright laid the plot for a num

on bats that the farmers of that

the tale runs, about 154 of thes
curious creatures were annihilated

residents of Freehold that the bat

He harms nothing else.
Such a good friend to man is he

The difficult problem of readjust
ment for women permanently dis
abled in industry Is stressed by the
Women's Bureau of the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor in a report Just pub
lished under the title "Industrial Ac
cidents to Women in New Jersey,
Ohio and Wisconsin." Personal inter
views by representatives of the
bureau with 385 of the 53S women
recorded as permanently injured dur
ing a single year in industrial plants
in these three states showed that
many of the women found it dif
ficult or impossible- to regain their
pro-accident status.
In fact, one-tenth of these women
were disabled for all available work
and 40 per cent were unable to re
turn to the work they had formerly
done. Of those who returned to work
more than one-fourth had not any
time since the accident earned as
much as they earned before. Al
though four-fifths of those who re
turned to work went back to their
former employers, nearly a fifth were
laid off soon or had to quit on ac
count of their disabilities. Nearly
half of the women interviewed were
responsible for the support of others
in addition to themselves.
More than one-half of the per
manent injuries involved one finger,
dismemberment or loss of use result
ing. That the greater number of in
juries involved the upper extremities
is not surprising, the report says,
f.inco the arm, the hand, and the
fingers are in constant use, and the
finders especially are in close proxim
ity to the work.
Three thousand two hundred and
eighty-five compensable accidents to
working women, which according to
tl'.e records of the compensation board
in the thiee states had occurred from
July 1919, to June 1920. were studied
by the Women's Bureau. More than
three-fourths were found to have oc
curred in the manufacturing indus
tries, well over one-half of these be
ing due to machinery. The next
most serious causes of injury were
falls of persons aiif'. the handling of
tay, sharp, o: ough objects. In
th? rietal-goods industry, where oc
curred the greatest number of acci
dent per 1,000 women employed, nia-
hincry was responsible foi nearly
three-fourths of the accidents, and
th? nandling of objects for one
igJith. Ranking neat to metal goods
n regard to frequency of accidents
is the iron and steel irdustry, follow
ed bv food products. As regards the
svuity of accidents, judged by the
time lost, metal-goods manufacturing
was followed by lrur.dry work, and
thitt bv the iron vii steel industry.
A little over 2 per cett of the ac
cid-nts occurred to women in the
transportation group, most of them
to telephone employees. The occupa-
ions grouped as cW-rical and profes
sional accounteu for about 15 per
ceuc or. tne total numrer or injurea
wcnien. and trade frr about 5 per
-i'.t Nearly oue-half of the acci
lents in these tv-'j gioups were due
to fail?.
The records show that 15 women
were fatally hurt during the one
year, but that no women were totally
disabled for life. Only 93 women
were compensated for occupational
diseases and 11 for hernia, the ac
ceptance of which as a compensable
njury has been open to a good deal
of costly dispute, the point at issue
n each case being as to whether the
origin of the hernia is congenital or
ndustrial.
The length of time required to re
cover as fully as posible from the ef
feet of injury the healing period
caried, the report shows, from, less
han two weeks to more than a year.
Fallg were responsible for nearly half
of the cases requiring a healing per
iod of fifty-two weeks and over. This
n connection with the fact that falls
caused less than 10 per cent of all
permanent injuries indicates that, in
pite of their relative infrequency as
cause they are to be viewed with
seriousness when they do occur.
In a correlation of age with heal-
ng period and extent of disability a
very definite curve in favor of the
young person is shown, the average
healing period for the woman under
40 being two and under four weeks,
which for the woman who is 40 or
more it is four and under six weeks.
For illustrative purposes the re
port cites in detail case after ca.se of
njured women, thef acts secured not
only from the records of the compen
sation boards in the three states, but
from personal interviews with the
women temselves. Three sections of
the report are given over to an an-
lysis of work accidents to women
from the points of view of legislation
n the state under consideration, ad
ministration, and prevention. An
other section presents some of the
nterviews with the permanently dis
abled women, indicating In a general
way the need for legislative and ad
ministrative changes and for the
promotion of preventive work in con
nection with accidents to women.
Hazard is so Inherent a part of in
dustry, as at present constituted,",
the report states, "that various oc-l
cupations have each a predictable J
risk, and the cost to the Injured em
ployee of the accidents which occur ,
the wage loss, medical cost, and
expense of restoration of earning
capacity is as logically a direct ex-J
pense of production as is spoiled ma-.
terial or damaged equipment. Fur
thermore, the supremely important
subject of accident prevention should
receive unremitting attention. Thoro
study of industrial hazard and scien
tific analysis of causes of accident
mean much in a reduction of casual
ties incurred by men and women
while engaged in gainful pursuits."

Taylor, Neb., Aug. 17. Sheriff
William Helmkamp was kidnaped by
two robbers after they had been in
terrupted in an attempt to rob the
Bank of Taylor early this morning.
They carried him several milea into
the country before releasing him.
Before fleeing with the sheriff a
prisoner in their car, one of the rob
bers shot the town marshal. Herb
Bittney, in the leg.
The marshal had been aroused by
the robbers, working in the bank. He
called the sheriff and together they
set out to capture the pair. As they
passed some trees, opposite the bank,
they were held up at point of guns
by the robbers, hidden in the dark-;
ness. Ordered to put up their hands, j
the sheriff complied, but the mar-:
shal refused and was shot. The mar
shal had tried to shoot, but hi3 pistol
only snapped.
The robbers then seized the sher
iff, put him in their car and sped out
of town. After taking a pistol from
the sheriff, one of the man took out
the cartridges, returned them to the
officer, and when about five miles
out of town, put him out of the car,
and ordered him to go.
