June 23 It is now possible to weigh a person's head without the fatal inconvenience of de taching it from the body, according to a method announced by Dr. G D. Spivak, of Denver, to the American Medical association here today. Dr Spivak described the apparatus which he has contrived by which it is possible to weigh different parts of the laving human body. By means of a pair of scales with sliding weights made like a seesaw and by the aid of com plicated mathematical formulae, the separate weight of any part of the body can be determined. In his address as chairman of the section on Obstetrics, Gynecology and Abdominal Surgery, Dr. Thomas . S- tullen of Baltimore reviewed thei progress of abdominal surgery in the last 25 jears. pointing out that it is i w possible for an competent sur geon to open and explore the abdomen with perfect safety to the patient.

A trade trip by auto to El Paso's ter ritory In west Texas was proposed by Robert ninehart at a meeting of the board of directors of the chamber of commerce, held Tuesday afternoon at the Citv National bank.

Mr. Rinehart suggested that the towns of Sierra Bmnca, Pecos, Al pine. Fort Stockton. Valentine and Mnrfa be visited on the trip.

Stevens had already agreed to make the trip, he stated. 1 raw Not Getting Traffic Mr. Rinehart declared that a large amount of the auto traffic to the coast ntver got within hailing distance of El Past for the reason that the roads were not properly logged south of Al buquerque and that a motorist would keep to poorer roads rather than take the risk of getting lost on unchartered roads. He proposed that the chambsr of commerce aid in securing a log of the unloosed roads near the city, which he and Harry Locke have been making for some months The proposition will be acted upon probably tonight, when membeis of tte auto club will mei with directors of the chamber of com merce for the purpose of discussing a consolidation of the club with the chamber of commerce.

Ho requested that his name be withheld. To Assist July 4th Meeting. The chamber of commerce will aid Rev. Perry J. Rice In decorating Cleve land square where, on July 4, a relig ious meeting and patriotic addresses will be held.

The negro, who had been sentenced from umcago jor killing a member of his own race, was believed by officials to have been the last person to see Mrs. Allen alive. Every Prisoner Locked Up. As a precaution against a demon stration every prisoner, ircluding the trusties, was locked up when Campbell was taken Into the jurvr room. cte was on the stand for n hcr and a half. Campbell contradict testimony given Monday by the turnkey, iarkin. Larkin said Campbell was in the Allen apartments Sunday morning 16 to 2 minutes. Campbell said he was there only three minutes. "Warden Allen declared that Camp bell's testimony was absurd, in parts. "His statement that he took the news paper to Mrs. Allen at 6 -odock in the morning was inconsistent with Mrs. Allen's habits," said the warden. Campbell testified that Mrs. Allen called him to bring water, and to light a fire because the morning was cool He brought the morning papers along.

"If you want to help lighten ray grief." warden Allen told them, "be 166" percent men." ART AND GOOD WILL ARE NECESSARY IN ADVERTISING Chicago. I1L, June 2J- The pithy lines which are striven for in much advertising matter sparkled in ad dresses given here today before the house organ section of the convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the TVorld. This style was particu larly marked in the remarks of C Henry Mackintosh, of Duluth. Minn, and Vincent L. Price, of St. Louis. Mo. "Lots of perfectly good advertising men will tell you that art Is a very secondary consideration in advertis ing." said Mr. Mackintosh, who is an artist. " 'Art nothing!' they will shout, adding 'the sole purpose of advertis ing is to sell goods, and If It does that I don't care how inartistic it is" "You and I know, of course, that to sell goods Is the art In advertlslnj? and that an inartistic advertisement is one which fails to achieve that end. "The Greeks had the right Idea about art. They never labored to make anything beautiful. They just went ahead and fashioned it to serve Its purpose as simply and perfectly as pos sible and then -it couldn't help being beautiful." Mr. Mackintosh, speaking of artlitic covers for bouse organs, continued: "A picture of a pretty girl appeals to most men. but will it make a nar tlcularly pertinent appeal to the mi-n In the business which you are attempt ing to influence through your house organ? "res. if -you are running an employ ment agency for chorus girls or cloak -and-suit models. Otherwise probably npt" Mr. Price said: "Good will Is the generator of business preference. "It overlooks mistakes, forgives negligences and admits arguments. It is a tremendous asset to any business and one worth striving for by all means possible." SOUTHWESTERNERS TELEGRAPH GOV.

New York, June 23. To the list of 22 states in which workmen's compen sation laws were already in effect, eight more states and the territory of Alaska have this year been added by the action of their legislatures during sessions which have just come to a close. This growth of the movement to ward safeguarding the welfare of the laborer and his dependents is revealed in the summary of this year's legisla tive activities, which has been com piled by the Associated Press, The summary also shows progress in the abolishment of child labor and in the direction of limiting the working hours of minors. The additional states to adopt work men's compensation are Wyoming. Montana, Oklahoma, Colorado, Maine, Indiana. Vermont and Pennsylvania. Favorable action toward the enaction of such a measure was also taken by the legislature of Utah, which created a commission to investigate the question and report a bill for the consideration of the next legislature. In one state which considered the matter. New Mex ico, a proposed workmen's compensa tion law passed the house, but was de feated in the senate. In Idaho, the bill was vetoed by the governor. Several other states revised their former laws in order to Insure more efficient opera tion. Somewhat different standards as to the way In which compensation should be awarded and the law administered are shown in the measures enacted this year, but this lack of uniformity is also a feature of various laws previously passed in other states. For instance, under the new Colorado statute Injured workmen will receive 50 percent of their wages during Incapacity, though not to exceed SS a week. In case of total permanent disability, the compen sation is pas able through life. When death results from the accident, the worker's family Is to receive a similar amount for six years with a maximum of 32506. In case of loss of eyes, hands, limbs or other members, similar payments are to be made for a specified period, varying from a few weeks to four years, dependent upon the nature o the injury. Employers Must Insure Payment. Employers are required to insure pay ment either in a state fund to be cre ated or a mutual or stock insurance company. Administration Is placed In the hands of an Industrial commission of three members who shall adjust dis putes and with authority to make awards If employers or Insurance com panies neglect to make v payments promptly: Court proceedings are there by practically eliminated. The Maine law, however, awards her Injured workmen payments by the em ployer of not more than $10 a week in case of total disability, with a maxi mum of JJ660. Heirs in case of death receive the same and the scale of pay ments for those partly disabled ranges from $4 to J10 a week. Pennsylvania provides for the pay ment of S6 percent of wages, but not more than J10 nor less than $5, with a maximum total of I10O0. The act Is elective and takes away from the em ployers the common law defences, but the people will vote In November on a constitutional amendment permitting the legislature to make it compulsory. The act creates a state Insurance fund, but employers are permitted to protect themselves in any other form of Insur ance or carrv their own risks on ap proval of the bureau of workmen s ompensation which will admln3ter tn taw. Domestics and agricultural labor ers are exempted. ... The Indiana law provides no state in surance, but permits the employer to seek it where he chooses, or not at all. If he give proof of his financial ability to pay the compensation. This is fixed at SS percent of the average wage, not to exceed 500 weeks, and in case of death, burial expenses to the defend ants not to exceed $100 and 5 percent of the weekly wage for 300 weeks.
