WILL SOON BEGIN
 . PLANS FOR FOURTH
Celebration Will be Along Lines Sug-
 gested by Civic Committee.

In the immediate future plans for the celebration of the Fourth of July in this city will begin shaping up. The celebration will be along the lines their report to the Chamber of Com merce few days ago. The approach of Independence Day bring to the mind the visit which George Washington made to Norwich in 1775.
 General Washington, then Colonel was in- New London, as early as 1756, at the time Of the French and Indian War. The water route was extensively New London chronicler, says under date of March 1756, "Mond. fair & windy. Colin Washington Is Returned from Boston &gone to Long Island. Powers Sloop and Boats to carry 6 horses & his Retenue all bound to virginia. he hath been to advise or be Directed by Governor Shirley who is chief general of the american forces"
 Nearly twenty years later, Wash ington again passes over this route.
 In June 1775, Gen. Washington pass ed through Norwich on his way to Cambridge. Miss Cau1kins says that EIt is probable that he came up the river in packet boat with his horses and attendants" having of course reached New London by boat
 He spent the night at the Landing and the next day continued his jour ney, arriving in Cambridge July 9
 Tradition tells that he spent the night at the low brick building at the corner of Main and Broadway, where now stands the building of the Nor wich Savings society. It is not know by whom the building was being the first brick edifice constructed in Norwich. It is supposed to have been used as a public house before the time of the Revolutionary War

Compensation Commissioner James J. Donohue of this city has returned | from Hartford where he attended a gathering of the compensation com pose of considering amendments to the compensation act. The amend 1 ments have been adopted by the state legislature.
 1.-TWO of the most important changes in the Compensation Act are the re- ducing of the waiting period from ten days to seven days, and increasing of the maximum compensation from s10 to $14. Under the amendments, an injured employee is entitled to re- ceive full wages for the entire day
 of his injury, irrespective of the time of day when the accident occurred.
 immediately, for seven days following
 the injury there is no compensation.
 the compensation beginning on the
 eighth day of incapacity.
 Under the old compensation law,
 the minimum was s5 and the maxi
 mum was S10, while under the amend
 ments the minimum remains the same. and the maximum Is increased to $14,
 or over, win now receive S14. where
 he originally received only S10, and man averaging between S10 and $2S will receive one-hah Of his average wages.
 Tn the cases of employees under IS years of age, who are injured, the following amendment has been pass ed: For the purpose of determining the amount of compensation to be paid in the case of a minor under the age of eighten years who has sus- tained an injury emitting him to com pensation for total or partial incapac- ity for a period of f1fty-two or more weeks, or to specific indemnity for sub-sections (a) to (k). both inclu- sive, of the last preceding section, the commissioner may add fifty per cent. to his average weekly wages"
 This amendment was passed in or der to give the commissioner the au- thority if necessary, to increase com rensation in the cases of young boys and girls receiving serious injuries, and earning small wages.
 The question often arises as to the authority of the commissioner in cases where agreements for compensation have been signed, and there has been a misunderstandins whereby the in jured employee Is not receiving the amount to which he is entitled. or the employer is paying more than is re- quired. In order. to take care of cases of this kind, and to give the com missioner the authority to preserve the rights of all parties even after agreements have been signed, the fol- lowing amendment was passed: ''The compensation commissioner shall re- tain jurisdiction claims for com agreements, for any proper action thereon, during the whole con1pensa- tion period applicable to the injury in question"
 On many instances payments for compensation have been stopped and the injured employe has not been in formed of the reason, and has ap- piled to the commissioner for infor- nation relative to his case. The commissioner has been unable to in form him why compensation was stop ped, without waiting to hear from either employer or insurance company In order that the office Of the com missioner may keep informed at all times about compensation cases, and payments in connection with same, the following amendment was passed: Before discontinufng payments on ac- count of total or partial incapacity

CATARRHAL. DEAFNESS CANNOT BE
 CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catar- tutiona1 remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an unframed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustacfian tube. When this tube Is infamed you have a rumbiing sound or imperfecet hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed deafn ess is the result. Unless the infiammat tion can be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deaf ness are caused by catarrh, which is an inhRmed condition of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts through the blood on the mucous sur faces of the system.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of catarrhal deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Med icine- Circulars free. Ali druggists, f5c.
