In m workmen’ compensation claim made by Maud Larsen of 189 Ferry street, New Haven, an employe of the American Velvet Co. at Ston- inston, in which the employe, claimed compensation for 13 weeks, Commis- sioner J, J. Donohue has rendered his finding that the disability suffered by the claimant covered a period of seven weeks, and the Velvet Co. is directed to pay to the claimant the sum of $30 for six weeks compeneation and also | vay a medical bill of $30. The woman strained her left arm while at work on Oct. 5, 1917, in re- moving a spool from a spindle of a winding machine. The commissioner found that the injury received was a strain of the muscles of the left arm and forearm with some nerve disturb- ance in the forearm.

A continuance to July 2 was continued at the request of the claim- ant, but at this time the respondents made no appearance and the pay- ments were ordered continued for the present.

This is considered a serious disadvan- tage, as all possible carrving capacity is needed at this time to expedite the transportation of troops. were I home. But even the poor pow- er of my pen is hampered by the cen- sor. Tt seems.odd each night to have ght even after ten o'clock. and the sun rises correspondingly early in the morning. As we travel (cometimes a little by foot) the children flock about eager for pennies and buttons as souvenirs, Frequently they run_ out from the houses with a cup and a nitcher of delicious tea, which is of- fered to us during a rest period of the journey.
