COMPENSATION NOT GIVEN FOR
 VOLUNTARY WORK

The Supreme Court has decided that a person who does a voluntary act for which he usually received tip or gift is not entitled to compens- alton under the Connecticut Compens- ation act.
 George Gibbs of Derby, was em- ployed as janitor by the Home Trust Co. and the filling Realty Co. and W. B. Downs was the president of both companies. He was accustomed to do little chores for Downs, for which he received a tip or gift of money. While adjusting chains on an auto mobile of Downs he was severely in- jured. He claimed compensation naming both companies and Downs as respondents. The court held that as the injury was not in the course of his employment neither corpora ton was liable and as he only receiv. ed a tip or gift from Downs for his services and not regular pay he was not entitled to compensation from him.

WINTER SHOWS
 ARE GOOD FOR
 SOIL IN GARDEN

Winter snows and hard freezing weather, reported in many parts of the United States this winter, are the best agencies for getting garden soils in condition, according to United States Department of Agriculture specialists. Soil is nothing more nor less than finely devided rock with decayed vegetable matter mixed with it. Every time the water freezes in the crevice of a rock it makes an opening a little wider until finally the rock is split into fragments; more water gets into the openings in these fragments and freezes, and so the work of reduction goes on forever. Every tme the groud freezes new soil is formed, but this new soil is in need of manure or decaying vegeta- b1e matter before it will hold water in minute quantities and be in con- dition to produce crops.
 Every time the soil is stirred ir cultiva,ting, the particles are ground together, and they rub or break of still finer particles. If the soil k too wet when it is worked, the par ticles will become cemented together and there will be clods or 1umpy soil The little hairlike roots of plants de ve1op in the spaces between the par. ticles of soil. Here is where they ge their water and along with it foot materials that are essential to thu

 STILL IN COURT

The attempt of Mrs Sarah J. Lyddy of this city to collect a claim of g, 3es from the estate of Charles A.

PERMIT
 FOR DOCTORS IS
 NOW NECESSARY
Druggists Can't Sell Unless Physicians Have Per
 mission.

Hartford, March u.--Druggists are not permitted to fill prescriptions for liquor unless the physician writing for same has been granted a permit by the federal prohibition director. This is new ruling that becomes effective at once, according to Federal Prohibi- ton Director Stremlau, who was ad- vised of the new ruling by Commis- sioner Roper today.
 Under a special emergency ruling made during the '+f1u's epidemic, phy- sicians were permitted to write for li- quor in emergency cases on their own prescription blanks, regardless of for a permit to subscribe. Under that ruling druggists were permitted to fill, keeping a correct record of all dispen- sations for their own protection. | In the opinion of the federal author ities at Washington this emergency no ! longer exists. In the future no drug gist will be permitted to flu a pre- scripton for liquor on any but the, regulation blanks provided by the fed era1 prohibition director to physicians who have made application for per mission to prescribe and have quail fled
 Only in an extreme emergency is physician permitted to use other than a regulation blank and then only af- ter he has submitted proof to the druggist that he has filed application for a permit to prescribe. The pre- scription must be marked "emergen- lcy'' with an explanation of the cir cunstances and a careful and true
 record of the same must be kept by
 both the physician and druggist.
 A regular form Q41S) is provided for
 druggists qualified to dispense liquor,
 on which a monthly report of dispen- sations must be made to the federal } prohibition director. At present all
 routine matters having to do with the
 regulation of the sake of alcohol and
 spirituous liquors are being taken care of by Mir Stremlau's departme ent-

"I am wholly unable to conceive of any war policy, particularly in a world war of this nature, which was certain to exhaust all of the participants with the possi- ble exception of ourselves, based up- on the requirements of any possible future war"
 Messages received from the navy department dated July to the effect that several small vessels were being sent to augment his forces indicated that they were at last beginning to realize that there was war being fought in European waters,'' declared Admiral Sims. On July 20 Admiral Sims testified he sent the navy de partment review of the decisions of 1 the allied naval council in which he stated that 'it was made apparen! 1 that closer coordination of effort should be immediately established be- tween the United States and the al lles' and reiterated his previous re quest for more small craft with which 1 to fight submarines.
 Even as late as January, 1918, he was still calling for more destroyers Admiral Sims said, and by that time, he declared, his predictions that the allies would lose the war unless the | United States gave more complete na- val cooperation were being justifi ed
 by results and the navy department was beginning to carry out his recon lmendations of six and eight months before.

NEW HAVEN ONLY U. 5, RAILROAD
 USING CLUB GAR
One Added to Afternoon Train in Past Two
 Days.

If YOU want to ride on Q railroad train with all the luxury in which the country revelIed before the war turned the transportation systems over to the Government, you'll have to go to Boston, and you'll have to ride on the New Haven. That road has added a club car to one of it's afternoon trains at the urgent and repeated request of a. group of men who recalled the pleasures of the games of whist, and so forth, which they experienced up to two years ago.
 This is the only change in paSsen- ger facilities offered by any railroad besides the restoration by the Central Railroad of New Jersey of two trains to Philadelphia, Officials of different lines say that no other immediate ad- dittons or alterations in the service are being contemplated.
 Nine days of private operation have left the railroads still uncertain as to what is going to hapren. Recent storms have not decreased their prob 1eIns, the operating departments De- Iieve.
 The Pennsylvania expects to oper- ate all it's trains as at present until the usual time table change in May Faster schedules are unlikely until new locomotives are built, the Gov ernment not having supplied the lines with new engines during the perloc of Federal control. Nothing in the way of additional comforts or ser vice is contemplated now, but there 1: possibility that negro porters for rneriy on duty on day coaches will b' restored later. Observation cars vii be operated as at present
 The Pennsylvania. road recently an rI in 0 management, dividing the system into districts instead of the former sys tenn of operating as lines east ant west of Pittsburgh A publicity de partment has been restarted since thu railroad left Government control

 ELECTRIFYINC
 MORE OF ROAD

Seattle, Mar. 1o.-Today with the opening of the identification of 209 additional miles of main line track of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, that line now has 649 miles on which electric motive power is used. The formal opening of the Gas cade identification in the State of Washington was featured today by the operation of a special train. This concludes the latest link of electri- fication over the great mountain ranges of the Northwest
 New electric locomotives which
 have, by severe tests proven their economy and power, have been pur- chased and are now beginning their tour of duty on the newly electrified line. The new locomotives, fifteen in number, are said to be among the most powerful ever built. Each de- velops a orse-power of 4,200 and can haul all-steel passenger trains up the steep mountain grades at an average of twenty-five miles per hour. The freight type of engine can easily haul a train of 5000 tons.
 Except for the tracks of the New York Central, from New York to
 Harmon, a distance of 32 miles, and 1 the New York, New Haven & Hart 1 ford Railroad, from New York to
 New Haven, 72 miles, the only inn | portant identification of steam lines 1 in America has been on the Chicago, 1 Milwaukee & St. Paul.
 l In addition to the tractive power of the electric locomotive in the
 mountains, and it's recognized econ-
 omy, another feature, particularly for passenger service, is the eIimina- 1 ton of smoke and cinders. The
 electrified portion of the system pen etrates 52 tunnels, with a total length ! of 54,000 feet or more than ten ] miles. The total absence of smoke eradicates the annoyance of opening
 and closing windows frequently, or
 failing to do this, to fill the cars l with smoke.

4031 MEMBERS OF A.E F. WERE ,f
 MARRIED ABROAD

Latest returns show that while the Y ank soBdier overseas traifed the fas- cina5tion daughters of our sister re pufbllc very consistently, compara- lively few, on returning to their na- tive land, imported a French bride to startle the family breakfast table with a flow of Doughboy French English when the mifkman brought nothing but milk.
 In The Home Sector, the ex-sol- diers' weekly conducted by the former editorial council of The Stars and Stripes, Walter J. Wood gives this in formation about the best souvenirs of all: Up to the present no one has known just how many Tanks did marry French girls, nor just how many little barishnas were taken cap tive in the far-o6 SnOw-wilds of Arch angel and V1adivostok, nor to what extent faminine Britain fell before the young Lochinvars from the west.

COSTS OF HOME GARDEN AMOUNT
 TO BUT LITTLE

Food prices are high, but food grown in home gardens costs comparatively little more than before prices began to ascend. This additional reason for home gardening in 1920 is put for ward by specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture They quote a letter from a New York business man. He wrote:
 Food costs today are practically double those of 1914, but the cost to plant and care for a home garden has not increased to any considerable extent The clerk. salesman or pro- fessiona1 man who grows his own vegetables and small fruits reduces the family food bill More important still. he increases the total food SUD- ply of the country. He enters the producing class. To a very apprecia- ble extent the home gardener can solve the high cost of living
 How can the man who never gar dened learn how te garden One good way is to write to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., or to his State college of agriculture for bulletin that describes every step in making a back yard or vacant lot help feed his family.

FRENCH MEDAL IS AWARDED ID
 SONG WRITER

In awarding the Legion of Honor to Lucien Boyer, author of the stir ring French war song ''Made1on" the French Government has shown how keenly it has appreciated the psycho- logical effect of that song in uphold ing the morale of the army during the darkest days ofs the war.
 'Madelon" will rank with the most famous of the songs that have been sung by the troops of any army as they marched to battle and faced the threat of death.
 French generals have repeatedly mentioned in their official reports the lightning-like effect of the words and music of ''Madelon'' in restoring the morale and spirits of the French poIiu at the time that the attack Eof the enemy was the most violent
 In the barracks, on the muddy and sheIl-torn roads leading to the front in the tide of battle that ebbed and flowed for months at time around Verdun and a thousand other places the refrain of ''Madalon' was sung and whistled by millions of French soldiers, bringing to them new cour- age and new strength at a time when their endurance and spirits were l most sorely tried.
 
 France to take up their share in the defense of civilization the air of Mad elon" was speedily adopted by the American doughboy, who gave to il prominent place in his repertoire | of songs.
 Few members, indeed, of the A. E 1 F. ever sung ''Madelon'' in French 1 except when they were emboldenef | to attempt it in the presence of thei1 l French comrades. But the tune wa. theirs, even though the words proved | too much for the French vocabular, of the average American soldier. 1 And now that the war is over an. | the A. D. F. has returned to tn. United States, ''Madelon'' will 2. down in history as a cherished pos | session of the American army. a | popular with our troops as it ha | long since proved to be with tn soldiers of France.
