NORWICH MANS QUERY.
A. n. Breed Asks About Compensation
Act Provisions.

Tha workmen's compensation act is
certainly a sticker for the understand
ing, and has been productive of more
questions than any other piece OF leg
islation introduced in years. Here is a
query from a Norwich man, the an
swer to which seems to fit in some
where in the provisions of the act: II
I go into a mans house to do a job or
plumbing and the gasoline torch blows
up and l fall down stairs and break
my leg, will the man that l am doing
the job for that owns the house have
to pay me?" This Norwich man, who
is Andrew H. Breed, says it looks to
him that way. For a New London
opinion. Hugh Mcfarland was called
up this morning and the question put
to him. 81 don't see how it can be, as
understand it," said Mr.. Mcfarland.
THE man is taken care of by the boss
plumber by whom he is employed. The
man who owns the house is not re-
sponsible' Now suppose, Mr.. Nc
Partland, that it was you yourself at
work on the job and the accident
should happen to you, where would
you get Off" Il don't see any other
way to get out of that" replied Mr..
Mcfarland, than to collect from the
people I am insured with Messrs.
Breed and Mcfarland are both boss
plumbers, and they now are supposed
to know where they are at, according
to their best Observation-Disclosures

NORWICH TOWN
Evangelist Adams Deplores Lack of
Reverence and ZeaI-SpeciaI Meet
inss at First Congregational Church.

Much interest is shown in the re-
vival meetings this month at the First
Methodist church. Prayer and testf-
mony Wednesday evening were follow
ed by a brief address by Evangelist F.
B. Adams of Manchester, who said in
the course of his address:
II come with a messag e in my heart
the story of my conversion. If the
church of former days had been as it
is today l might not have been led to
Christ for there were earnest men in
those days who were interested in
souls. Now there are so many dis
fractions to take ones attention that
little time is given to revival work.
One of the greatest obstacles is that
children do not show reverence in
church. for they are not trained at
home. If a child disobeys authority
that he can see, he will disobey Gods
authority that he cannot see. One of
the great reasons why we do not re-
ceive Gods blessing as it came fifty
years ago is that we do not make the
sacrifices that people used to. When
it was Is degrees below zero farmers
with blankets and robes used to trav-
ell six or eight miles. singing on the
way, to help in meetings. Now with
autos we are having such easy times
that we want to travel to heaven on
f1owery beds of ease. Woe be I'M
to them that are at ease in Zion"
AS soon as the church of God gets
into the same condition that it was
fifty years ago, just SO soon will it
have the results seen at that time.

At New London Post Office.
For the nine months from April
to Dec. 81, 1918, the New London post
office showed a gain in receipts of
961121 over the corresponding nine
months of the previous year. The total
receipts were $65, S4511. The gain was
due chiefly to the parcel post increase,
the absorption of the Groton post Office
bringing in only s4,129.92.
AS an instance of how the parcel
post has changed the method of ship
ping Christmas packages, it will be
interesting to note that the receipts of
the New London post office for De-
cemher, 1912. were $6,949.29. For the
same month this year they were 1924.
July is generally the next month in
volume of business. In 1912 the re-
ceipts were s7,490 and this year they
We're $8.80099.
Notwithstanding the fact that thou
sands on thousands of packages of
every description were delivered at the
New London post office during Decem-
Der, only a trifing few missed their
destination and remain in the office
because they lack an address. Among
these are two yeast cakes, a box OF
pills, a toy magnet, q fine tooth comb,
a penknife, a small go-cart (the latter
found in the post office lobby and al
ready claimed by at least dozen of
the clerks and carriers) and a book
