STRAND ANNIVERSARY

Next week the Strand thcater will celebrate it's first birthday. The story of the Strand is the story Of the courage Of it's builders. the Hoff- man Brothers. Contaras Brothers and Perakos. It was no small undertak- ing to conceive and erect a modern theater of such magnitude in a city the size of New Britain. The fore sight and courage of these men have borne fruit and after successful year In which the Strand has been instrumental in bringing day after day visitors from neighboring cities and towns into New Britain, and has given New Britain the proud dis rinction of being the home of Con- uecticuts finest thcater. the Strand will stage it's first birthday party next week which will be marked by specially enlarged programs of vaudeville, photoplays and musical novelties.
 Preparations have been going on for several weeks to make the Strand Anniversary red-letter week in the annals of local theater- dom.

DISCUSS EXPENSES
 OF INJURED POLICE
Commissioners Consider Law to
 Guarantee Compensation

Consideration was given by the board of police commissioners at the monthly meeting last evening, to a recommendation made by Chief w. c. Hart through Chairman R. w. Chamberlain that steps be taken to lay down q hard and fast rule rela- tive to paying expenses of members Of the department injured in the performance Of their duties. and giving them their pay while in capacitated. No action was taken in the matter, however but il is pos Sible that it will be brought up again.
 Chairman Chamberlain pointed out that policemen injured on duty receive full pay. or $G a day. and $2 additional from the State Police association, whereas, if they were under the provisions Of the com pcnsatlon act, they would receive half pay, or s day. He made it plain that he did not mean to in Slnuatc that every injured police man "soldicred," but he expressed the belief that they would in all probability return to duty sooner if they knew that would earn more money on duty than they would re- ceive while incapacitated.
 The advisability Of specifying one physician on whom injured police mon would be obliged to call in case Of in jury was discussed, Chief Hart saying 1t would be possible to make regulation obliging the men to pay their own expenses if they wished to be attended by a physi- elan other than the one chosen by the police commissioners. It was pointed out. however. that this ar raneemont would hardly be satisfac- tory because the delegated physi- clan might not be available at all times and plications could arise.

 Wuthe forced the door closed again. and through it the mother heard two more shots. There was silence. Entering the room. the mother found her son dying and Wuthe and Miethling dead. All had used the same revolver.
