It is a portable gasoline engine, which was bought with the idea that it would help out in the summer time when the com pressed air power was weak because of low water. and it could also be transported around the city to be used where there was drilling work to be done. It would furnish the compress ed air power for the drills
 To add to the troubles, the crusher has not been operating, until Wednes day, since Mir Fox came into office as when his term began the moving of the crusher on the Roath street lot, which had been begun under Commis sioner Fellows. had not been com pleted. It was only on Wednesday at noon that MT. Fox got the crusher to operating again and he has been push ing it to overtime since then in an effort to get out enough stone by Saturday to do half the West Main street improvement job before his sup ply of crushed stone is cut off. It is his intention to do thes West Main street work before beginning the West Thames street macadam work, as West Main street will provide a detour when the West Thames street work is under way.
 Correspondence has been carried on with firms out of town that might furnish stone, but here again the
 transportation difficulties and uncer- tainties add another, bad factor to the problem.

The recent announcement that no more compressed air from the Norwich Compressed Air company would be available here after the 18th of July will hit the city stone crushing plant on Roath street a crippling blow and practically put it out of business until some way is devised to provide power to take the place of the compressed air which has been the only power used in the operation of the plant
 Ever since the statement first ap- peared in The Bulletin that the com pressed air was to be cut off. the pub lie works committee and the street commissioner, James P. Fox, have been trying to devise a way to meet the emergency, though not with great success yet, Mir Fox said on Thursday night
 So far, said MT. Fox, they had re- ceiVed no official notice that the power is to be cut off, but they have heard of others who have had the notice, so that they have acted accordingly.
 Efforts have been made by the pub lie works committee, whose members are Alderman M. c. Higgins, Council men F. G. Aubrey and John T. GIea- son, to arrange for either steam or electric power to take the place of the compressed air, but it is a hard thing to get either dynamos or boilers. and no immediate certain solution of the problem is in sight.
 Within few days a new connpres- sor, which was ordered under Street Commissioner Fellows regime, has

DIsMlssEs THIS CLAIM FOR WoRkMENs COMPENSATION Commissioner Donohue Finds That
 Hissanum Man Had No Liable Elm
 ployer.

On the ground that the claimant, Luigi Calliare of Higganum, was one of a partnership or contract, and was rot an employe of Giacomo Donatoni also of Higganun1, the respondent, and that Donatoni regularly had less than five men in his employ. Commissioner J. J. Donohue has dismissed the com pensation claim of Luigi Calliare, who had his right leg broken by a tree that fell on him as he was chopping wood and getting out logs in the neigh borhood of Higganum on Feb. [, 1918.
 The injured man was in the hospi- tai about six weeks and was still in capacitated at the time of the hearing on May IA.
 The hearing was called that the question of who was the employer at the time of the injury might be passed upon, as the claimant believed that Donatoni was the responsible party, but Donatoni claimed that at the time of the injury he had but two men in his employ and that the claimant was not one of them.
 In the testimony offered in the case 1 it was shown that Donatoni had made | verbal contract with two men. nei- | ther of whom was the, claimant ir | this case, to cut wood for him, and that these two later offered the claim ant the chance to cut wood there ano 1 later also offered the same chance te another man and all four divided the profits.
 The commissioner finds that the testimony goes to show that there wa.
 no employer at the time of the claim 1 ants injury upon whom he eoult 1 make claim for compensation. H,
 was rather a member of a partnership
 and his own employer. It is not fount
 that any one of the four men had an!
 right to dictate as to how the worl
 was to be performed, each was hi

 as another, or as one of the four mel

 Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs arc used anually and all have to bs gathered at the season of the year when their natural juices and medicinal sub- stances are at their best.
 The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal properties from these herbs. 8
 Every utensil and tank that comes in contact with the medicine is sterilized and as final precaution in cleanliness the medicine is Pasteurized and sealed in sterile bottles.
 It is the wonderful combination of roots and herbs, together with the skill and care used in it's preparation which hEs made this famous medicine so successful in the treatment of female ills. sst- 't,. sa7f~

TO CHANGE LAW.
Medical Society and Labor Unions Would Alter Connecticut Compen- sation Act.

A proposed change in the compen- sation law, which wdIld extend more widely the number of physicians treat ing injured employees, may be intro duced by members of the Hartford Medical society, when the next legis- lature opens. The movement has the support of labor organizations in this state,
 To the employer, the present law gives the right to select a physician by whom the person injured is eX- amined. If the injured employe chooses different physicians he must pay the bill. If the proposed bill is passed, the employer will also be re- quired to pay that bill. Employes are said to feel that the reports made by physicians who are employed by the employer to treat the employe, are at times open to question.
 It has been said that, as the fam fly physician is better equipped with special knowledge of the person hurt, he has therefore more gen. eral responsibility than a physician chosen by the employer, especially if the employer is a corporation which selects the same doctor in most of it's cases,

He was brought to Hartford, where the federal grand jury did not find the evidence sufficient to hold him, and he was released.
 Without funds, he tried to get a job and earn his passage back to Norwich. Besides being old, he was lame and could not walk only with the aid of a cane, so there was no job for him.
 Someone sold him the mayor was a good fellow and so he appealed to him. He had had nothing to eat since the day before. The mayor turned him over to his secretary, James A. Curry, and the charity board furnished the transportation. The old man left. feeling that Hartford had pretty good mayor.-Hartford Times

AT DAVIS THEATRE.
Five Part Reel is Feature on Bill.

A Dolls House, a five part picturiz- ation of Ibsen's famous psychological story is the feature attraction at the Davis theatre for the last half of the week The roll of Nora Helmer, the petted wife of Thorvald Helmer is splendidly portrayed by Elsie Fergu- son, the famous star of the Aircraft company. The part gives Miss Fer guson an excellent opportunity to dis play her ability as an actress which she does to splendid advantage. The theme presented by Ibsen is that a woman's place in the home is not merely an ornamental one but she should be her husbands helpmate. The picture deals with an incident in life that turn a weak and dependent wife into strong resourceful woman.
 The other picture on the bill is the western Triangle film, Faith Endur- ing, featuring Roy Stewart in the role of Jeff Flagg, a straight forward western cowboy
