Fever and LaGrippe. It's the
most speedy remedy we
know preventing Pneumonia.
Members of the Metropolitan
Water board have expressed them
selves as willing to reconsider the
case of E. A. Worm, 3305 North
Fourteenth avenue, for 25 years em
ployed as a plumber bv the Water
board, who lost his sight two years
ago as the result of injuries re'eeived
while in the employ of the board.
Although one-armed from boyhood,
Worm was rated as one of the best
plumbers in Omaha.
Worm was injured October 14,
1918. while installing a meter at
St. Bridgets school, Twenty-sixth
and F streets, when' his helper
dropped a heavy water meter on his
head. The meter struck the skull
at the base of the "brain causing part
paralysis and later blindness.
Worm applied for compensation.
At the hearing before the board and
Labor Commissioner Frank Ken
nedy, Dr. A. D. Dunn, expert diag
nostician, yvho is said to have made
an examination of the injury six
months after the accident, decided
blindness had resulted from an at
tack of the "flu." He was substan
tiated by "John L. Webster attorney
for the water board, who held out
for a $500 settlement.
Kennedy allowed Worm $12 a
week for 300 weeks and $9 a wttek
thereafter until death. - Webster ap
pealed JCcnnedy's decision to the
district court where the case is still
pending.
While working for ' the water
board, Worm saved enough money
to build a home on North Four
teenth avenue When it was com
pleted' tlic tornado of 1913 -destroyed
it. He rebuilt the house.' Later he
planned to give his daughter a col
lege education but these plans were
shattered ater he was injured and
lost his sight. ' Worm lost his arm
in boyhood when a gun was acci
dentally discharged while he was out
a hunting trip. Friends character
ize him as the modern "Job."

in aviation and when I have had
more experience I'll take her with
me."
Fetters had made numerous
flights with pilots and has a wide
knowledge of aviation. His actual
instruction in solo flying was about
two and one-half hours. He flew
!rom Omaha to Valley, Neb., yes
terday afternoon, "hopping off" at
Ak-Sar-Ben field at 1:45 and landing
at Valley at 2:05.
"I toik all the flying tests at
Fort Oirtaha." Fetters said, "and 1
found I reacted all right in the air.
I concluded then if I couldn't learn
to fly it was not my age but my
head that would be to blame."
Fetters, with two associates, built
the "baby" biplane, which recently
made a trial flight at Ak-Sar-Ben
field and which surprised experts by
its perfect construction.
Fetters is empolyed as a mechani
cal engineer by the Union Pacific
railroad.
