termination To win.
Twelve schools were represented
by the twenty-two contestants pres
ent. the other schools were eliminat-
ed in tho section contests.
Tho contest was both oral and
written, The oral part consisted on
five hundred worda, the written Oh
one hundred words, Al the close 0f
the aictatien OF these six hundred
words seventeen Oh the twenty-five
contestants had perfect records,
This was q much better record than
was made tn tho contest two years
ago when out of twenty-oue contea-
tanta who entered tho contest only
ak stood 100 per cant after the ak.
hundred-word dose had been admin
istared Tho seventeen contestants
were then treated To five words each

AWARDS COMPENSATION
 IN MONTViLLE CASE

In the compensation case of Henry E. Guile of Montville, employe, and the Robertson Paper Company of Montvale, employer, Compensation Commissioner J. J. Donohue has made his finding. From the testimony it is found that on the night of Dec. goth, 1919. between 10 and 11 o'clock, the claimant was wheeling some ashes from the boiler room to the ash pile, and was struck by an automobile which was proceeding along the high way without lights, receiving injur les to his right arm and bruises to the back. It is found that said in- juries arose out of and in the course of his employment and on the prem ises of the respondent. company in :the town of Montville.
 The evidence shows that the claim ant has told several physicians about his injury but that none of them has advised any definite treat ment suggesting the application of a plaster ir the use of some liniment. It is also found that no physician has been directly consulted by the claim ant as to his injury althougs he has asked at least three different physi- clans in a rather indirect way as to same.
 The employe maker no claim for medical bills but states that he has been disabled because of the injury to his back up to March 15. 1920, on which day he resumed work. After fully discussing the case it was finally agreed that claimant l should receive four weeks compensa 1 tion which was accepted by the
 claimant and agreed to by the in surer.
 Whereupon, it is hereby awarded | adjudged and decreed that the re- ] spondent-insurer shall forthwith pay i to the claimant the sum of s39.20
 which is compensation for four weeks
 at $9.S0 per week, said payment to constitute a full and complete settle ment of the case.
