 "UnusuaI Duties'

Bridgeport. Conn, March IS LP Compensation Commissioner F Y, Buckingham today handed down a decision awarding to the widow of a police officer statutory relief hecausc Of the death Of her hus- band which he found came about through exposure" to damp weather in performing unusual duties and heart trouble.
 The city of Bridgeport was the respondent in the case In which the widow of Police Lieutenant Joseph A. Hazel asked for compen- sation under the law. She was awarded SIS a week for 312 weeks.
 The evidence for the most part was given by physicians called in as experts, The facts were that Lieutenant Hazel died on a trolley car while riding 10 his duties at tn" second precinct station on No- vember q, 1923. The widow set up the claim that Lieutenant Hazel two nights previously while per forming certain duties out of his usual routine, was exposed to damp and cold weather and he contract . ed a cold. He had suffered from heart trouble and the combination caused death.
 Commissioner Buckingham up held the contention in his finding holding that Hazel did contract a cold through exposure to weather while performing duties Unusual 10 him. and that he had previous ly suffered from heart disease. He held that Hazrls collapse and death were due 10 the combination and awards the widow the amount provided by law.

of the exhibits.
Because the inventors genius has
contributed SO much to the progress
of industry, the exposition manage
ment decided to set aside space which
will be devoted exclusively to the
achievements of local inventive minds.
Since many inventors, who have re-
ceived international recognition for
their contributions to radio, the tele-

entific accomplishments, are residents
of the National Capital, it is the opin-
ion of those in charge of the indus
trial exhibition that it would be in
complete without specimens of their
work.
Those who have achieved fame will
not be the only ones whose work will
be placed in the Inventors corner"
All who have devised mechanical con-
trivances Of unusual performance are
invited by the exposition management
to participate. AS a feature of the in
ventive phase of the affair, the trans
mission of pen and ink drawings by
