PHILLIPS LEE GOLDSBOROUGH, GOVERNOR. 1455

there are no dependents and the deceased employe leaves suffi-
cient estate to pay same, all expenses of last sickness and burial
shall be paid by said estate and not by the employer or insur-
ance company or Commission out of the State Accident Fund,
as the case may be. The Commission shall have full power to
adopt rules and regulations with respect to furnishing medical,
nurse, hospital services and medicine to injured employes en-
titled thereto and for the payment therefor.

SEC. 37. Notice of an injury for which compensation is
payable under this Act shall be given to the employer within
ten days after the accident, and also in case of the death of the
employe resulting from such injury, within thirty days after
such death. Such notice may be in writing, and contain the
name and address of the employe, and state in ordinary lan-

signed by him or by a person on his behalf, or in case of
death, by any one or more of his dependents, or by a person

injury resulting therefrom to the Commission, and also to any
local representative of the Commission. Such report shall state

(a) the time, cause and nature of the accident and injuries,
and the probable duration of the injury resulting therefrom;

(b) whether the accident arose out of or in the course of the
injured person's employment; (c) any other matters the rules
and regulations of the Commission may prescribe.

SEC. 38. Where an employe is entitled to compensation
under this Act he shall file with the Commission his application
within thirty days together with the certificate of the physician,
if any, who attended him.

Where death results from injury the parties entitled to com-
pensation under this Act or someone in their behalf, shall make
application for the same to the Commission, which application
must be accompanied with proof of death and proof of relation-

this Act, certificates of attending physician, if attended by a
