bility for compensation is determ- ined, we notify his former em-l ployers that benefits will be taken from their accounts, Mir. Tone said.
 'Tf they know that the worker was discharged for wilful miscon- duct they are entitled to appeal the claim and may reduce the appli- cant's benefits by two weeks, if they can prove their case. But this does not apply to 1887 disnnissals. for last year employees were not eligible for compensation and hence cannot be penalized for what they did then"
 According to section 810d of the act, each liable employer is noti- fled of a former workers potential benefit rights when the worker ap- plies for compensation, the com- missioner disclosed. The employer is advised that the decision to pay benefits to the applicant will be final unless an appeal is made by him to the employment compensa- tion commission for his congression- al district, within seven days.
 Then, if the employer is able to show that the applicant left his job without good cause, or was dis charged for wilful misconduct, the number of weeks the applicant may draw compensation is decreased by two, section 8o3d of the act pro- videS.

MAY PERSUADE
 PASTOR TO QUIT

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 25 - (U.P) Friends of the Rev. Israel H. Noe said today that they would attempt to persuade him to give up his TO- year plan for immortality on earth and not resume his fasting if and when he recovers his health. The former dean of the Episcopal Cath ederal of St. Mary was conceded "a fair chance" for recovery by physi- clans although he went g days without food or water. His heart action is improving and the intra- venous feedings of saline and glu- cose are strengthening his emaci- ated body He already is eating the pulp of oranges and soon will be able to take broths.
 Opinion was divided as to whether Noe intended to resume his fasting when he leaves the hospital. A nurse at Baptist Memorial hospital quoted him as having said:
 Its shame that they made me stop the fast. I will start it again as soon as get we'll"
 Persons close to him denied, however, that he had any such in- tention. Whether he does or not. he appears willing to cooperate with physicians in any treatment they recommended.

(By a Waterbury Fireman)

(By a Waterbury Fireman)
 Bremen are all excited over the coming biennial concert and ball, booked for the state armory on Friday evening, February II. In addition to the dancing, a unique novelty this year will be the floor show of ten acts, opening prompt ly at ? o'clock or a few minutes after this hour.
 No Lull, This Year
 For years" explained Richard M. Crean, president of the Fire mems Aid association, there has been a Hull in affairs until the opening of the grand march, and the big crowd always present has hardly been content waiting for the opening number. But things will be different this year; we shall have a variety show on the floor of the big shed tbat will en- certain the people for a period of about two hours. The hall in past events, was well filled early in the evening; we expect the same big crowd this yeae. For this reason we have arranged the special show of acts, to be brought here direct from a reliable booking agency in New York city"
 Waterbury has always had a firemen's ball. In the old days, or during the reign of the volun- teer, the great event of the year was held in the old city hall. And in those years practically every family in the city was represented. The annual fee was three dollars, the same as it is today. The old time hack or carriage, as they called it, horse drawn, was used to convey the pretty girls of the nineties, yes, and after the nine ties, to the well decorated munich pal building. The scenic horse shoe gallery of the hall proper was damned with onlookers, whose necks had to be cranned in order to observe the long line of per- sons in the grand march. In those days, the Phoenix company wore red shirts, so did the Protectors of Brooklyn, and the Rose Hills of the Abrigator. The gallant Brass Cities of Out East along with the Monitors of Bank street, Citi- zens and Mutuals of Scovill street wore the regulation blue. since adopted for the permanent de- partmentS.
 MustacheS
 But, oh, how the crowd enjoyed this firemen's old time ball we are now speaking about. In those days, the average fireman gener- ally wore a mustache that wound around all corners of his mouth, the handle bar type or sort, that Dan Parker, the New York sports writer, made so much of in special articles he prepared during his Waterbury interesting journalistic career. They dyed their mustache for the night; sometimes the warmth of the hall made it pos sible for the dye to run, but even this temporary discomfort did not

interfere a great deal with the good time that was had by all." Incident to that we have only one mustached fireman today.
 And what music, a brass band for the marches, and IS piece orchestra for the round dances. The orchestra was generally local, but the band was always one of note from out of the city, Colts of Hartford, Reeves of Providence or the 69th Regiment of New York. You can guess the costs incident to an affair of this kind. But it made little difference with the fire companies of old, all volunteers, and all annual con- tributors to the affair.
 To Let Out"
 "The old time fireman certain ly enjoyed himself" observed President Crean after recalling the written history of the depart ment, and it is our purpose this year to do the same. After all. we feel we have a just right at least once in every two years to go out, break bread with our friends, and forget all trials and tribulations for the period in question. In other words, as the saying is, We intend to let out that night"
 So you see, my friends, Feb ruary Il is to be kind of a rol- licking night for the fireman. The public has been most kind. and this means another large crowd. And if you intend to go, be sure to be on hand for the floor show; the managers say it will be one of the best ever staged in the city.
 The f1remen, in spare time, who have performed the bulk of the work, and who are receiving the praises of the other members of the department, are President Richard M. Crean, Past President Maurice F. Noonan, Past Presi- dent Richard H. Pickett and Past Vice President John J. Lawlor, the first.
 Gee, but how these fellows have worked.

HE coat theme is teeming with
interest this season. The array
of fetching models turned out by
coat-inspired style creators is max
ing front-page fashion news, and no
secret as to the reason why. 1t is
the irresistible new woolens brought
out this season that fling challenge
to the designer. With such grand
tweeds in colors superb, such gor-
geous plaids and stripes, such ster-
ling feece-soft wool monotones, to-
gether with a list unending of in
triguing novelty weaves, the reac-
ton could be none other than just
one stunning coat after another.
The outstanding feature about this
seasons coats is their extreme YER
satility. 1t matters not whether you
are tall or short, slim or given to
unWanted curves, whether your hair
is piled high on your head in latest
approved manner, or whether it de-
family retains it's youthful bob,
somewhere in the vast model dis
plays you are sure to find your coat
affinity awaiting you.
Speaking in general of the new
coats, in casual as well as dressy
types injured models vie with fur
trimmed styles. Then, too, sleeves
play a spectacular role.
Color is also newly important.
Coats in soft wool feeces or shet-
land tweeds are lovely in deep
grapevine, teal blue, deep olive
green, and in natural beige.
injured coats are in soft tex
tured monotone woolens such as
fleeces, shetlands, cancels hair
weaves and tweeds. They are cut
on simple but clever lines with ac-
cent on fabric and color. See the
attractive model conferred in the
group illustrated. Here is the type
so well liked this season, in that it
invites the woman who prefers to
do so, to add her own fur touches
such as a separate fur scarf, or
muff to match the fur on her hat.
Note that the hat worn with the
coat pictured is worked with Per-
sian lamb. A muff of same will
look ever so "ritzy' later on. The
