1902 — Maryland passes the first state workers’
compensation law and Congress establishes the permanent
Census Bureau.
Elsewhere that year:
- B. J. Palmer graduates from his father’s
school in Davenport, Iowa.
- The Triple Alliance between Germany, Austria
and Italy is renewed for another six years.
- Architect Frank Lloyd Wright completes the Ward
Willitts House in Illinois, the first of his “prairie
style” homes.
- Robert Bosch, a German engineer, invents the
spark plug.
- The blue uniforms of the U.S. Army are exchanged
for olive drab. Experience during the Spanish-American
War had shown that blue was too easily seen.
