Ruling Limits Widow in Workmen's Comp Arbitration
An Attorney General opinion holds that if an injured worker dies before arbitration awards compensation, the widow cannot be substituted as the party in interest in the arbitration. She may bring an independent action or intervene, but cannot replace the deceased claimant in the arbitration.

Electric lamp to aid car starting in cold weather
An ordinary electric lamp kept burning under the hood of a car during winter can heat the water and engine to ease starting. Enclose the lamp in a case with a handle and cover the engine with a blanket, leaving space for heat to escape. A 40 watt lamp could use about one kilowatt hour in 25 hours and does not heat the crankcase oil.
