About 200 tons of floqr brought by
the Chicomico was iii a damaged con

loose seams of the steamer. The flour
will be loaded upon one of the' steam
ers of the Central Vermont Transnor

to Staten Island, where it will' be put
inrougn a porcess to restore It.
I tis probable that during the month
other steamers will put into port with
flour cargoes, as the work of unloading
the Western Glen and the Chicomico
was carried on "with such speed that
both craft were unloaded in quicker
iime than that called for by the

$40 TN COLLECTIONS AT
THEATER FOR NEAR EAST
" Collections taken at the Davis the
ater this week for the Near East Aid
had reached the -sum of S40 up to
Wednesday' night.' The Wednesday
night- and Thursday -night collections
taken at the theater while the picture
Auction of Souls is being shown to
picture the ravishing of Armenia by
the Turks will add considerably to he
sum to be applied on the local quota
In tlie' New London county apportion
ment .of Dfpviding the food for .700 or
phans. To furnish the food for one
orphan for a year calls for 6C.
All the neighboring towns which
come under the Norwich district are
diligently at work-in responding to
the appeal for the Near East Aid with
Jewett City in the, lead on results re
ported so far.
The largest check received by the
Norwich campaign committee so "far
came in on Wednesday. It was enough
to care for eight orphans and came
all from one family which is intense
ly interested in America's answer to
this appeal to help . the Near4East.
Cardinal Gibbons. ex-President Wil
liam Howard Taft, and Dr. Livingston
Farrand, chairman of the central-!
committee .American Red Cross, have
given their strong endorsement of the
Near East Aid. .They say:
The appalling tales of massacre and
famine -appeal to humanitv, and so I
cannot urge too strongly the duty of
immediate relief, it
is a duty that j
rests upon every Christian people, and
our own country cannot fail to recog
nize and heed it. At a time then of
crisis,, such as this, the sense of. jus
tice and compassion of the American
people must be appealed to. There
can be no doubt of their response. L
Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Bal
timore.
I sincerely hope that in the inevita
ble reaction' from the' generous and
sacrificial spirit which our people
manifested during the war the poor
people of Armenia will not suffer and
that your most worthy appeal for fur
ther ass'stance to carry the Armen
ians through until next harvest may
find a satisfactory and adequate re
sponse. William Howard Taft.
The Red Cross is not operating in
the Near East, and the responsibility
for expressing' American sympathy for
inose striCKen peoples is carried en
tirely by your committee. It is ear
nestly to be hoped that the appeal -for
tunas ior jear mast Relief will meet
a widespread - and ODen-handed .
sponse from the American people.-

HOW DR. BLACK RULES
ON LAW ON NARCOTICS
In answer to ah inaiurv .i tn tlie
state department of health's interpre
tation of the narcoetic law. State
Health Commissioner John T. Black
has forwarded to W. B. Brewster sec
retary oi tne waterbury Dental so
ciety, the following opinion:
uur interpretation of the narcotic
law would lead us to answer vonr In
quiry as follows:
Ha) How far can dentists go In
writing prescriptions for narcotic
drugs for their patients in the relief
of pain? .
"If the dentist is registered, writes a
prescription on the form required 'for
a reasonable amount of the drug, ana
makes an office record in detail as re
quired by law, he should not have
trouble in supplying relief for his
patients.
"(b) Can a dentist expect to have
an order filled'for a .pint of cocaine'
solution containing 1-2 grains to the'
ounce? - .
"To this inquiry I would say that he
can, under the law, make an order for
this amount of the drug in duplicate
and expect to have it filled, if his prac
tice or reputation is such that the
Otaler is satisfied that he can legiti
mately use this amount of the drug
within a reasonable period. From
what I know of dental practice. I
should personally be suspicious of an
order of . this size, because cocaine is
used by dentists as a- rule in minute
quantities., aud IS ounces, containing
"2 grains of cocaine, would represent
enormous practice.
"(c) Is the pharmacist justified in
compounding one ounce, only, at a
time on such an order?
"The rognia'ions specifically forbid
the- partial tilling cf prescriptions, or
orders, ard foibids the refilling of
prescriptions. A druggist who refuses
to fill a 16-ounce order for the above
mentioned solution, but who offers to
fill an order for one ounce, is to be
commended, A druggist, however, who
suggests that a series of one-ounce
orders be forwarded for the purpose
of evasion should be looked upon with
suspicion."
COMMON PLEAS HEARS

dampen a sponge or soft brush with

By morning all gray hair disappearSj,
and, after another application or two,,
your hair becomes beautifully darkr

Captain Jackson in speaking of the
great need for more men in the sub

The war has demonstrated fully
that the submarine is one of the
mightiest weapons of destruction at
present in use in navat warfare. To

NORWICH CARPENTERS ASK
' $1.00 AN HOUR ON APRIL. 1
The journeymen carpenters of the
city have presented a request to the
master builders and contractoss that a
minimum wage scale of $1 per hour
with time and a half for overtime be
put into effect on the first of April,
which is the time when, the present
contract in force expires. No response
has yet been made by the master
huilders, one of whom said Wednesday
night that the communication from
the carpenters comes as a request and
not as a demand.
The agreement now in force was
made two years ago, providing for a
minimum wage rate of Sv cents an
hour with time and a half for over
time. Last summer the minimum was
voluntarily Kaised by master builders
to 65 cents, one of them said Wednes
day night. This is the rate at which
the men are worknlg now and some f '
the carpenters are paid 75 -cents 8
hour.

GROTON IRON WORKS
A. M. Main, general superintend;
ent of the Groton Iron Works, an
nounced Tuesday that over 10 percent
of the working force at the plant has
now been laid off. He stated that
the same proportion of men are still
working on a ship as previously, but
as therq are fewer ships on -the. books
there are correspondingly fewer men
on the pay roll.
"We have simply let the men go as
their work was accomplished.' paid
Mr. Main. "And we will continue let
ting them go as more ship' are fin-;
ished, unless we get more orders.
He stated, however, that he did not
think any more men would be let go
before the end of the month as there
seemed to be plenty of work to carry
the present, force until February. Mr.
Main wanted it understood that the
company was letting the men go as
the work decreased and on no other
account.
