Frances Bentley Worcester, widow of Rev. James N. Worcester, for many years pastor of the old Sachem street Meth- odist church, died at the summer home of hrr daughter, Mrs. John C. Morgan, at Gardner Lake, on Saturday evening, following an illness of two weeks. Mrs. Worcester had been in failing health for the past three vears but was not critical- 1y ill until about two weeks ago. Mrs. Worcester was in her 90th year and her health had been exceptional up to a short time ago. She was born in North Stonington. on Oct. 14, 1830, the daughter of George W. and Annie Wil- liams Bentley, who were both natives of North Stonington. Mrs. Worcester's fa- ther was a brother of Rev. David Niles Bentley, who was the founder of the Methodist faith in this city. Ag a voung woman she made her home in North Stonington and Norwich, -but after her marriage on May 31, with _Rev. James N. Worcester, who was at that time pastor of the Sachem street Meth- odist church, they resided in several other cities where Rev. Mr. Worcester had pastoral charges. After the death of her husband on May 30, 1 , she return- £d to Norwich, where she has since re- sided. The greater part of her life in this city has been spent at her home at 89 Asylum street. Mrs. Worcester was a woman of ex- cellent qualities, a kindly neighbor and self-sacrificing friend. It is with a feel- ing of loss that her many friends in this ity learn of her death. rs. Worcester was the last of her having outlived her four brothers and sisters, and she is survived by three daughters, Miss Anna Louise Worcester of 89 Asylum street, Mrs. John C. Mor- gan of 63 Washington street and Mrs. Ernest A. Rice of Lake Helen, Fla. Appointment For J. C. Keegan, Joseph C.

STORRS MUST ASK MORE FOR MAINTENANCE APPROPRIATION The trustees of the Conneéticut Ag- ricultural college at Storrs have ap- pointed a committee consisting of E. Kent Hubbard of Middletown, C. W. Hall of Willington and Robert A. Sco- ville of Taconic to take up the fratern- ity housing problem with the secret so- cieties at the Storrs institution. It will be the purpose of the committee to see that the units do not contract for build- meet theoir obligations. The trustees ' will probably find it necessary to ask for a large appropria- tion from the next legislature on ac- count of the increased cost of mairten- ance at Storrs. With the praent ac- commodations, the care of the 400, stu- dents available for next vear will ‘be a good deal of a problem PROVIDENCE WILL MISS WINDHAM COUNTY MILK If the Providence and Danielson trol- ley line ceases operation mext month, as is announced 3500 quarts of milk daily sent between Danielson and Providence to the latter city will be cut off. On SCep- tember 16 th Westerly and Norwich line. will probably cut off 3,700 quarts daily. Milk producers are trying to settle on a plan to do marketing direct hy means of motor trucks, establishing a central station in Providence for distribution, and avoiding the sending of milk by rail- road. -The middle men would get milk at lower rate by buying direct from the producers. If the experiment can be made successful in Providence, the aim would be to introduce the same plan into Boston. EASTERN CONNECTICUT GAINS 11 PER CENT.

Donohue has just made an award and finding in the Work- Men's compensation claim of Pasquale Orsini of 225 Broad street against Ar- chibald Torrance, the contractor, by Wwhom Orsini was employed as a laborer on May T7th, 192), when he was struck and injured by a motoreycle on the high- way in Montville. { The hearimg on the claim was held to detcgnine Whether the injuries receiv- edi by th claimant, Orsini, arose out of "and ih the course of his employment. The commissioner finds that they did so arise and the claimant is entitled to coraper.- ‘sation at the rate of $12.19 per weck, accrued payments since May 7th to be paid in a lump sum, and paymems to continue for the remainder of the disa- bility period. Orsun had one leg brok- en and one knee injured and has been to- tally incapacitated ever since the ac- cident and will be for some time. The casw is one of unusual interest be- cause the unusual circumstances under which the injuries were received. Or- sini was in the employ of the contrac- tor on work at tha plant of tha Eastern Connemicut Power Co. plant in Mont- ville, but was hurt while he was on the road where he was waiting for a trolley car to take him wpme at the end of the day’s work. As he was sit- ting by the side of the highway, wait- ing for the trolley car, a motor trucx Wen by and the claimant started across the road to board the motor truck ana wass hit and knocked down by the motor- cycle. It was brought out in the evidence that the employer purnished transporta- { tion for the men to and from Nerwich and that the trolley car was regularly used. In order to catch the car the' men were allowed to quit work a little be- fore four o'clock in the afternoon, but made up this time by working a little longer at noon. The carfare was added to the men's pay to reimburse them. The employer was found, by his tesimony, to have had had knowledge as to tne arrangéments about the hours of employ- ment and ways of getting 1®me and nev- er to have objected. The ciaimant testl- fied that the men someétimes caught a bus or automobile nome and that 1o ob- jection had been made by the emp:oyer and they never had lLea toid not to do s, In his memorandum of decision on the case, Commissioner Donohue says in part: The contract of employment be- tween respondent and claimant required the latter to work outside of the place of his residence, and the former agreed while claimant was so employed to pay his transportation to and from his em- ployment as a part of his contract of employment. The actual work began when the claimant reached the plant of the East- ern Connecticut ‘Power Co.. in Mont- ville where the employer had contract- ed to have certain work done, but the employment of the claimant began when he boarded .the conveyance in Norwich to take him to Montville, and the em- ployment ended for the day when the claimant reached Norwich on the re- turn trip at night. The employment also continted during the trip to and from the claimant’s work. “Transportation to and from his work was identical to his employment, hence the employment con- tinued during Phe tremsportation in the isame way as dufing the work.” See Latham & Crance memorandum rafer- red to above as filed by Supreme Court of Conneeticut. The injury in the present case occur- red not during the trarsportation but while the claimant was waiting for a means of transportation and while at- tempting to board a passing motor truck going in the required direction, namely toward claimant’s home, and so the injury can be said to have oceurred within the period of his employment and at a place where the claimant had a right to be. and while he was doing something identical to his employment because contemplated by it by his em- ployer according to the employer's testi- mony at the hearinz. Therefore the case falls elearly within the construction Wwhich the Supreme Court has placed upon the terms of the Statute “arising in the course of adjustment.”” The injury also arvse in the course of the claim- ant’s employment and while he was wait- ing for some means of transportation 40 his home. consequently the employ- ment was the approximate cause of It, and it therefore arose out of the employ- Thent. \ The commissioner substantiates s finding By quotations and references of supreme court decisions in the cases of Swansen vs. Latham & Crane, Marchia- tello va. The Lynch Realty Co., Luizi vs. Fred T. Ley Co., and Fiarenzo vs. Rich- ards. | | RATLROAD BRAKEMAN KILLED IN YARDS AT MIDWAY Louis Deauiion, 26, a railroad brake- an, was Killed in the Midway yards of the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford rallroad early Sunday orning.

Experts from the Connecticut Agricu beforé the association, testified that danger from the insects can be removed and that the health of the state will be vastly improved by immediate and ener- getic action in getting rid of the present unsanitary eonditions which they assert- ed, exist not alone among the seashore and the sheltered inland river coves which protect the disease spreading in- Sects, but which extend to the ponds, lakes and swamps of the interior of the state. 3 Cases of the children who have died the past few weeks because of the ef- fects of the bite of a mosquito or similar insect were quoted as creating the need for instant action. Doctors Edward H. Jenkins, W, E. Britton and Samuel S. Sealy of the experiment station bore evi- dénce to the danger of life and health because of the poisonous inseets which have been allowed to breed and spread their contagion in all parts of the state, starting from the undrained land. The association voted to appoint an executive commiittee to outline the most effective means for: reducing the evil and thus greatly bettering the health of the state by reducing, if not exterminating. the insect evil as well as by such other means as expert advice indicates. The association will issue an appeal to the entire state to realize the gravity of the situation and join the crusade. Every community will be asked to consider both its interest ih the disease breeding areas infested Dby the insects and to grapple With the problems which are pe- culiar to itself. Local auxiliaries will be formed in many places to supplement the state activities of the general asso- ciation. Meantime, such organizations as the state department of health and experiment stations, local health offi- cers and the grange will be urged to co- opérate in an attempt to solve the spe- cific problems which have already arisen. % Of these the most immediate are the drainage of marshy and swampy land. The present season, which has witnessed the most excessive rainfall in years, has caused the insects to swarm on both the seashore and in the interior, has occa- sioned epidemics of sickness and caused several deaths which have been direct- ly due to mosquito” or other insect bites. Business and professional men Who have been impressed by the acute situa- tion has determined to subdue the.insect evil and have been told by the experts they have consulted that this can best be done by beginning the crusade by draining the swampy land, both of the fresh and salt areas where the insects spring into swarming activity. The meeting was called to order by William H. Wilson, formerly controller lof Chicago, Who has a summer place at ‘Westbrook, but who has been active in organizing the movement in this state. William O. Goodman of Westbrook was elected temporary secretary. Mr. Wil- son pointed out that while the state of Connecticut appropriated §3,300,000 for good roads and $300,000 for the admin-| istration or overhead ex @ of thel highway commission, only one-tenth as much as the administration item would be necessary for the annual expense of draining the swamp lands of Connect cut and thereby eliminating the mosqu to and insect evil, by reducing it to negligible proportions. A report was read of similar efforts in New Jersey which, considered merely from the finan- cial side, showed that an $200,000,000 in property values in the city and industrial centers is expected within twenty years to follow the sup- pression of the salt marsh mosquito. With not over 5 per cent. of the total possible area occupied. the taxable val- ues of salt meadow land have risen from $1,000,000 or less to $16,000,000. Estimates prepared by Mr. Sealey. deputy in charge of the mosquito exter mination work in_ this state, showed that the cost of dirching 3500,000 feet in 1921, including such details as state inspection, would be $165,000, and for the same amount in 1922 a slightl smaller sum, ridding the state of its worst disease breeding areas. The annual cost of maintainan: ter the ditching is done will be $ according to the estimates. Malcolm R. Pitt of Stamford was| elected permanen; president of the sociation and John Moran of Pine Or- chard treasurer. Pledges of financial| support Were given by several mem- bers and an executive committee was ap- pointed. af- 000 Tree Hall of Fame. The “Vaulting Pole” Cottonwood jumps into the hall of fame for trees, announces the American Forestry As- | sociation of Washington, D. (., for a cording to J. Tisen, of Norris City 11, who makes the nomination, that is just how this tree started. Hosea Pierce and a boy comrade re- turned from the War of 1812 to their homes, near Norris City, 11, says the American Forestry Magazine in ma ing the announcement. It was in the spring of 1815, and on January of that vear they had helped General Jackson whip the British in the battle of New Orleans. These boys both attended a log-roll- ing on the old Pierce farm that spring, | and as they were returning to the house after their day's work, made a | | wag who could vault the farthest using their cottonwood handsp a; vaulting poles. They both left their :handspikes sticking in the soft earth had vaulted, A4 duri where they the spring rains of 1815 they both to root and lived. “One of these trees died about ten years ago, but the other is still living and is 105 years old. This tree has a peculiar base on account of the un- usual manner of planting: is about thirty feet in circumference, 175 feet high, with a very large hollow in the base of the tree which has been used as a housing for setting hens, a ki for dogs and is alwa fine playhouse for children. Lowell Lee Fellinger, who now plays about this tree is a distant relative of the fifth generation from this gallant patriot, Hosea Pierce, who helped the great General Jackson “lick” the Brit- ish at New Orleans. Is there a tree with a history near you? If so the American Forestry Association wants its nomination for the hall of fame. Coal For 150 Years. There is comfort, though cold com- fort it may be, in the announcement that thére is plenty of coal—in the ground. At a recent convention of coal experts it was reported that the hard coal in this country will not give out for 150 vears and the soft coal ig vir- tually inexhaustible. J. W. Paul, chief coal mining engi- neer of the United States bureau of mines, is quoted as saying that there is'enough to supply the American peo- ple for 6,000 years. Kew persons have any interest extending beyond that time. It is a period as long as the traditional age of the world. If the soft coal lasts'as far into the future as from the present time back to Adam there is no need of worrying. Some coal men may question these figures. They are not given as accu- rate, for there is no possibility of com- puting the future population of the country and its fuel needs. But any one who has looked into the matter will grant that not even the remotest generation in which living men and women can have any personal congern will lack fuel if any reasonable care is lJ . tural Experiment Statien, who appeared 1 { Helium increase of | Your future is in your own hands.

The lignite deposits alone in Mon- tana and North Dakota, as yet hardly touched, amount to trillions of tons. That coal and its products will be found useful for countless generations when the accessible veins of anthra- cite and bituminous have run out. Helium in Natoral Gas. Hellum, up to April, 1919, a laboratory curiosity, not more than a hundred cubic feet having been prepared, and that at a cost of about $1,700 to $2,000 a cubic foot, increased in output in that year to a point where it was being produced in Texas alone at the rate of 8,000 cubic feet a day. There is now nearing completion at Fort Worth a $1,700,000 plant as the result of the government's experiments during the war. ‘While the experiments by the govern- ment came too late to be of value in the war, it was developed that natural gasés in Canada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas have 1 per cent. and sometimes more or helium, and several processes were working out similar to those for ob- taining liquid air. The commercial production of hellum has beqn stimulated by the need of a sub- stitute for hyvdrogen, which is so highly inflammable that its value for military purposes in dirigibles and kite balloons is gravely impaired. Although the substitu- tion of helium for this purpose entails a loss of 7 cent. in lifting power, this is more than compensated for by the elim- ination of all risk of fire and explosion. suffers less loss by diffusion than hydrogen and cannot be made to burn or explode under any conditions. The relative cheapness of hydrogen is still a limitation on the use of helium for airs says a bulletin of the National Bank of Commerce, for the cost of hydro- gen used by the serviee war averaged one cent per eubir it can now be had for cons than that. The secretary of the navy re- | cently asked congress to nrohibit the ex- I portation of helium. indicating that the | foreign demand is likely to absorb our | supply if not held in check. Oblong Tre of growing vered by A method has been ¢ Forestry at Cambridge, England Such trees have not yet been grown on a commercially profanie scate, but School of [ one specimen of the oblong tree exists in the school and it is said to have help- ed in the discovery of the secret of such growth. The trunk is 30 inches wide by 2 inches thick and is more like and artificially cut board than a tree trunk. Its curious shape was due to no more than a little bruise or two which per- | suadea it to grow more vigorously in one direction and not at &ll in any oth- er. A similar bruise on another trunk made it grow a round table top of beau- tifully patterned wood, vastly harder than the normal tree. in spite of the fact that it grew very much more quick- Iy. Other discoveries and experiments prove that an artistic bruise, it may be no mere violent than strong préssure with the finger tips. can make a tree expond in a desired direction, just as an tion by a little juice or well di- cted punciure can create a gall or a leaf. a’s Big Apple Crop. 11 run over 13,180. cord z to a state- ment issued by statistical bureau of the der culture based upon reports frrom state crop reporte: in eve ery county made a< of Aug. 1.
