Motor wheeling "
"Motorwheeling" means slipping along
on a bicycle with the Smith Motor Wheel
attached. You will not need to pedal the
Smith Motor Wheel will do all the work.
The Smith Motor Wheel is a complete
power plant in itself. It can be attached to
any bicycle in five minutes. It operates and
runs on its own tire, independent of the
bicycle, and does not load or strain the
bicycle in any way. The motor is simple
and compact, perfectly clean and free of
vibration, and is operated and controlled by
a little lever attached to the handle-bar, the
control being, literally, "right under your
thumb."
For 30 days as an introduction
we will sell the "Ford Special" and
"Monarch' Spark Plug for 40c each.

THE COMPENSATION LAW
(Continued from page 1.)
ed by an Industrial Accident Board,
composed of five members, appoint
ed by the Governor.
It is mandatory for the employer
to carry compensation insurance
(See Section 48). Any employer
failing to secure compensation ren
ders himself liable to heavy daily
penalties and, after thirty days, he
may be enjoined from carrying on
his business.
Employers Subject To Compen
sation Law
All employers of labor, even
where the work is to be performed
outside of the Territory, ' except
ing those tngaged in interstate or
foreign commerce.
No contract rule, regulation or
device whatsoever shall relieve the
employer in whole or in part from
any liability created bv this Act,
For non-fatal accident the liabil
ity is to the injured employe; for
fatal accidents io the deceased em
ploye's dependent or dependents.
Any person, a member of the fam
ily of the deceased employe who is
dependent upon such employe f'r
support, is considered by the Act
to be a dependent. A surviving
wife, or surviving husband incap
able of supporting himself, or the
child or grandchild, or the parents
or grandparents, or the brothers or
sisters of such deceased employee
are dependents.
The term "child," as used in
the Act, includes step-children,
adopted children, posthumous
children and illegitimate children
acknowledged prior to the injury.
Dependents may be either partial
or total, the former being tnose
only partially dependent upon the
deceased for-support, and the
latter those entirely dependent on
the earnings of the deceased it
being presumed,, however, that
the following are included among
those entirely dependent:
The widow.. Any children mr
der sixteen years of age. A wi
dower, parent or grandparent, if
incapable of self-support.
A grandchild, brother or sister
under sixteen years of age who
were in any degree dependent up
on the deceased at the time of the
injury.
What Employer is Liable for
The employer is liable for any
accident happening to an employe
while the latter is performing ser
vices arising out of and in the
course of his employment. This
includes injuries which may be re
ceived in times of social stress,
such as strikes, etc.
The chief factors to be consider
ed under this heading are:
Average weekly wage "earned by
the employe; the weekly loss in
waecs, that is, the percentage of
the average weekly wage that is
lost to the employe due to the im
pairment of his earning capacity,
and the nature and duration of the
fnjurv, the result of which injury
may take any one of five possible
forms:
Temporary or permanent partial
disability; temporary or permanent
total disability and death. There
is no compensation for the first
two weeks ot disability.
Partial Disability
During the period of disability
fifty per cent of the difference be
tween the average weekly earnings
before the accident and the week
ly wage he is most likely to earn
thereafter, not to exceed $12 a
week, or a period of 312 weeks,
or an aggregate sum of $5000.
Fifty per cent of average weekly
earnings, not exceeding $12 a
week, for the period stated below:
Loss ot one arm at or above elbow
joint, 312 weeks. Permanent and
complete loss, of hearing in both
ears, 312 weeks. Loss of one leg
at or above knee joint, 286 weeks.
Loss of one hand at or above wrist
joint, 248 weeks. Loss of one foot
at or above ankle joint, 208 weeks.
Total Disability.
Sixty per cent of average week
ly earnings, not exceeding $18 nor
less than $3 a week, and the term
of such payment not tb exceed 312
weeks or aggregate a sum exceed
ing $5000.
Compensation calculated at 60
per cent ot average weekly earn
ings, not to' exceed $18 nor less
than three dollars a week; such 60
per cent of average weekly earn
ings as heretofore defined, to he
multiplied by 312, but in no case
to exceed the sum of $5000. Per
manent total disability is defined
by the Act as: Total and perman
ent loss of sight in both eyes;
Loss of both feet at or above the
ankle; Loss of both hands at or
above the wrist; Loss of one hand
and one foot; Injuiry to the spine
resulting in permanent and com
plete paralysis of both legs or both
srms, or of one leg or of one arm;
Injuiry to the skull resulting in
incurable imbecility or insanity
The above enumeration is not to
be taken as exclusive.
Death
If deceased employe leaves no
dependents, the employer is liable
only for burial expenses not to ex
ceed $100; i f deceased employe
leaves dependents, the employer is
liable for a sum ranging from $!
660 to $5000 in total dependency,
and in partial dependency for cer
tain ' specified sums according to
the degree of such dependency.
The employer shall furnish all
that is necessaty under this head
ing for the first fourteen days of
disability the aggregate expense
not to exceed $50.
Insolvency Does Not Release
Carrier
Every policy and contract shall
contain a provision to the effect
that the insolvency or bankruptcy
of the employer and his discharges
therein shall not, relieve the insur
ance carrier from the payment of
compensation for injuries or death
sustained by an employe during
the life of such policy or contract.
No employer can allow any em
ploye to pay any portion of the
costs due to providing security tor
payment of compensation. Any em
ployer who makes such a deduc
tion from the wages of any em
ploye may be fined $250.
Claims for compensation have
the same priority against assets ot
employer as allowed by law for un
paid wages. Claims for compensa
tion are not assignable, and are
exempt from all claims of credi
tors. Settlement agreement between
employer and employe must be fil
ed with and approved by the Com'
mission.
Arbitration Hearings and A
wards
If compensation is not settled by
agreement, either party may apply
for a committee of arbitration.
(Sections 31 32). The finding of
the arbitration committee shall be
filed with the Industrial Accident
Commission, and unless a claim for
review is filed within ten days by
either party, the award shall be in
forced in the manner prescribed in
Section 39.
Appeals From Board '
An appeal from any award may
be made to the Circuit Court, as
provided in section 38. Misrepre
sentations by the employer as to
the amount of payrolls, or in the
matter of providing security for
payment o f compensation, i n
violation of the law and will be
punished accordingly.
Employers have the following
options:
By insuring and keeping insured
the payment of such compensation
with any stock corporation or mu
tual association authorized to trans
act the business of workmen's
compensation within the Territory,
or by obtaining and keeping in
force guarantee insurance with
any company authorized to do
such guarantee business within the
Territory. or by depositing and
maintaining with the Territorial
Treasurer security satisfactory to
the Board securing the payment
by said employer of compensation
according to the terms of this Act.
Upon furnishing satisfactory
proof to the Board of his solvency
and financial ability to pay the
compensation and benefits herein
provided, no insurance or security
shall be required, and the employ
er shall make such payments di
rectly to bis employes, as they
may become entitled to receive the
same under the terms and condi
tions of this Act,
