The town school board met Friday evening in the superintendent’s office in the town hall and disucssed mat- ters of importance. Among the mat- ters under discussion were the repairs which will be made during the sum- mer vacation. Another matter brought before the board at the meeting was the congested conditions of _ the schools in the West Side district, es- peciaily that of the Thamesville school. The condition here will be worse next vear instead of beiter owing to the opening of the Winchester Woolen Co., which wriil necessarily bring many fam- ilies to the city Several ways of overcoming the difficulty were. discuss- ed but nothing definite decided.

DECISION ON THE CRANEY-DONOVAN APPEAL Donovan May Be Heard on Law Ques- tions Raised During Trial. The supreme court has rendered a decision on the appea! taken in the John F. Craney-John Donovan case. The supreme court denies the mo- tion for appeal in regard to the law questfons but grants it on the judge's denial of the motion to set aside the verdict. The effect of this is that Mr. Dopovan may be heard on the law questions raised during the trial, but he cannot take up the evidence and ask the supreme court to give him a | new trial on the srounds that the ver. | dict was against the evidence.

SPINAL MENINGITIS AT CAMP DEWEY Disesase Was First Thought to be in- fantile Paralys For the past few days there has been a rumor about the city to the effect that there wera two cases of infantile paralysis at Camp Dewe: Kitemaug. Having heard of the ma; ter City Health- Officer E. J. Brophy communicated with Dr, M. E. Fox of Montville and upon the latter's Invi- tation Dr. Brophy visited the camp. It was-found that upon diagnosing the cases by examination of the spinal fiuid, according to the New London Lealth authority, that the caBes are not infantile paralysis. The disease is found to be cerebro-spinal menin- gitis. Dr. Fox placed strict quarantine on the camp which inciudes several co tages occupied by Norwich people. No one will be allowed to occupy tiese cottages for the coming two weeks. The two cases are now in the Me- morial hospital in New London. It is believed by the health authorities | that with strict quarantine regula- tions there will be no cases outside the camp. At present in the camp is 2 total of 160 boys who come from Texas where this disease -has been prevalent. ‘ The health officer desires that the public understand that there is connection between infantile paralys and cerebro-spinal meningitis as the: are two separate and distinct disease: Many people in this city have been more or less upset because two of the boys from Camp Dewey Rave been purchasing supplies here, taking them to the camp at Kitemaug. Investi- zation, however, shows that from the time of the first appearance of the ili- ness these bovs have® been isoiated from the main camp in order that they might be able to leave the grounds and not carry any inspection. This isolation will be continued as long as it is thought necgssary. Fur- thermore orders have been issued to prohibit anvone in the camp from using the water from the well which THEATRE RECEIPTS SWELL RED CROSS TOTAL Subscriptions in Local Campaign Now Amount to $10,879.13, All the money taken in at the Davis theatre at all three performances on Friday went towards the Red Cross fund.

Refreshments were served. the last Fourth of July committee, which had in hand the funds remain- ing from the big preparedness pa- rade and celebration in this city turn- ed over the balance which had been accumulating interest in a savings bank. fThe amount was $204.48. It was felt by the committee which had charge of the money that the object was especially worthy of the money and without hesitation it was turned over to the Red Cross. Concerning the Red Cross Major General John J. Pershing says: “I believe in the Red Cross, for I bave observed it in operatlon. During the last week of last November I re- celved a letter from Washington headquarters, asking me to list the things that were needed by United States soldfers in Mexico. T think I spent iwo or three days thinking up that list. I remember that I named tobacco, pipes, pocket knives, bandana handkerchiefs, needles and candy—not anything fancy, but the good, oldtime stick candy. Also jams and marmalade. I prescribed lit- tle jars of marmalade. “Well, sir, do you know that my sug- gestions were adopted literally? Fach man in my command recetved a coM- fort beg from the Red Cross for Christmas, and each bag contained ex- actly the articles named in the list. “The men had more fun and they enjoved it more and will remember it longer than any Christmas they ever bad. Nobody can ever tell just what these presents from the Red Cross meant to them, and no one except those who were there and felt the spirit of the thing can appreciate it fully. “Therefore I am for the Red Cross. T know it s capable of great good be- cause it accomplished great good in my command in Mexico. From the bottom of my heart the people will support it.” And in a letter to the Red Crpss headquarters in Washington he adds: It would be a difficult task to con- vey to you the heartfelt appreciation of the officers and men of this com- mand for the most generous showed of presents that are pouring In on every truck tratn. There will be ample and to spare for all purposes. FEach sta- tion will get its share according to its numbers. Everybody has felt the Inspiration of vour active interest and@ each camp is trying to out-do the others. Here at headquarters, we are having a mammoth tree built up of seven of the largest we could haul. The result will be a tree seventy feet high. We shall all assemble arour\' this tree on Christmas and sing some carols and offer a prayer, and then distribute to each man his present from the Amer- fcan Red Cross. It will be a happy command to know that the great héart 20 Obed G. Knight, Bridgeton, - g S & — 19 Joseph Moreau, W T Rhode Island Reds. 47 Allan’s Hard to Beat Reds Newport, R.

The hens in the egg contest at Storrs have now laid a grand total of more than 100,000 eggs. This mark was reached in the 33d week of the compe- tition, or at almost exactly the same time that this point was reached last year. The hens in the present contest are just a little more than half a day behind the record of a year ago. Ap- parently this discrepancy cannot last iong, as all pens taken together laid 4,450 eggs in the 33d week, or a gain of nearly 200 as compared with the cor- responding week last year.

Michigan Poultry arm’s Barred Rocks from Lansing won second hon- ors for the week with a yield of 58 eggs.

Intelligent culling works a twofold advantage: it reduces the grain bill and at the same time has the effect of raising the av- erage ybeld per hen. During July there is no doubt but that in many flocks from 5 to 10 per cent. of the birds can be culled without adversely affecting the egg yield. This means, of course, a little less money for grain, a little less labor, a little more room in the houses during the summer, and yet the same number of eggs.

It was found that the average weekly wages of the clalmant were $15. It was found that when Mr. Whit- comb wished to set up a sawmlill, in order to hasten the work, “he had loaned several of Mr. Segar’s men,” and that LaBonte had aseisted with this work for three days and then re- turned to Mr. ‘Segar's direct employ- ment again and that on such occastofs Mr. Whitcomb had pald Mr. Segar for the men and Mr. Segar had settled with the men. In view of the testimony of the vari- ous witnesses, while that of the em- ployers was slightly contradictory, in the main the facts admitted were sub- stantlally the same, and I find that Segar was the employer of LaBonte at the time of his injury, as on every oc- casion on which LaBonte had worked for Whitcomb, even though he was on the payroll of Segar, he (LaBonte) had received his pay directly from Segar except on this one occasion, and if he had not been injured LaBonte would have looked to Segar for his day’s pay for the work done on the day of March 16, 1917, and undoubtedly from the testimony he would have received it from Segar, but a difference of opinion arose between Whitcomb and Segar with the result that LaBonte, being ni need of money and Whitcomb seeing his circumstances and knowing that it had to be paid either to Segar or La- Bonte (but properly should have been paid to LaBonte through Segar), gave the money to LaBonte which he knew was due him. It was entirely a ques- tion of a loaned employe, and in view of the facts as presented it was found that LaBonte was in the employ of Segar on the day of his injury and that he should have looked to him in the first place for compensation.
