TWO COMPENSATION CASES
 SETTLED AFTER HEARINGS.
Bozrah and Norwich Men Were the
 Claimants,

An award for payment of $5 per week from May IT to June 28 and sub ject to future modification was made by Compensation Commissioner Dr. James J. Donohue in the case of Clar- ence Lathrop of Bozrah, claimant against Palmer Bros. of Fitchville, by whom he was employed. The hearing on the case was held on June 2S, 1915.
 On May 15, 1914, MT. Lathrop re- ceived injuries consisting of internal injuries and sprain, while he was in the employ of Palmer Bros. at the average weekly wage of $8.51. Under an agreement made the employers had paid the employe $5 weekly from May 30, 1914, to May 16, 1915, when the payments had been stopped, as the employers considered that disability had ended.
 At the hearing the claimant stated that he did not consider himself able to return to his work and put in full time, and 1t was suggested that some lighter work be found for him to do in which the claimant could have op- portunity to demonstrate his capacity for work. It was further suggested that a new agreement might be ef- fected at 8. later date on a partial dis ability basis.
 In the case of James Quinn of No. 93 Fourth street, this city, against Archibald Torrance, employer, it is ad- judged that the employer pay the claimant $50 for three weeks from May 2S. 1915.
 At the hearing before the commits sioner on June 28 the claimant did not appear, but sent word he had returned to work and was intending to see if he could continue at work and if so no future claim for compensation would be made.
 While in the employ of MT. Torrance on Aug. 8, 1914, at Plainfield, MT. Quinn received an injury to his spine.
 An agreement was made, approved by the compensation commissioner. that MT. Quinn, whose average weekly wages were $24.20, should be paid $1o weekly from Aug. 23, 1914, and pay ments on this basis were made up to May P, 1915.
 Dr. Patrick Cassidy was present at the hearing to testify to the present physical condition of MT. Quinn, but owing to the fact that the claimant had returned to work. and the respou- dent had agreed to the terms suggest ed hy the commissioner, the matter was adjusted by the agreement for three weeks more compensation pay as already mentioned.

 Town Too Poor Just Now.


 The town meeting in East Lyme held Tuesday to consider erection of a schoolhOuse at a cost of approd- mately $12,000, came to naught. as a strong sentiment in opposition to the project developed and the meeting was adjourned by Selectman F.

Career of the Organization of the
"Forty lmmortals."
The Institute of France had its in
ceptlon in 1870, when there was found
ed in Paris by the French poet, An
tome de Bali, literary and musical
society, known as the Academy of the
Valois. Charles " granted it letters
patent on Nov. 20, 1870, as THE Acad-
envy of Poetry and Music" 1t had,
however, no stability. Attacked upon
every occasion and criticised by its OPP
ponents, its members ceased to meet
after 1884. Almost half century
passed before a revival took place.
For some time since the year 1929
q small circle of enthusiastic students
was wont TO meet at each others home
for the study of French language and
literature. From year to year its mem
bership increased, and in 1854 Cardinal
Richclieu proposed to the society to
have their private status changed into
a public institution, with many rights
and privileges. Upon agreement by
the society it was henceforth known
rs 'the French Academy" with char.

BRITISH ARMY SWORDS.
Each Branch of the Service Has Ito
Own Type of Weapon.

Swords In the British army vary to
q very great extent, and practically
every branch of the service has its own
type of weapon The difference is noe
so much in the shape of the blade as
in that OF the hilt
The sword used by the infantry has
a large ornamental guard, bearing the
royal cipher and crown. There is II
slot ut the top of the guard for the
sword knot, really Il leather loop end
Ing in knot to prevent the loss of the
sword. The infantry sword is perfect
ly straight and Is sharp on one edge
only
Rife regiments have special sword
of their own with the rifle badge let
into the openwork guard Very much
the same sort of sword, but with a still
more open guard, consisting of three
curved bars, is used by the royal ar
tillery and army service corps. The
Royal engineers lave gilt hilt on
their swords, distinction they prize.
The claymore of the highland regi.
ments has big basket hilt lined with
red cloth and blue ribbons The Off
GERS of some Scottish regiments carry
plain cross hllted sword without a
guard
Until few years ago the cavalry
were armed with sabers. Nowadays,
however, they carry swords of a
straight rapier pattern. The guard Is
a large affair completely shielding the
