B Schezck & Soz, , but the GAGER Funeral Director and Embalmer Prompt Service Day er Niaht Commissioner J. J. Donohue before whom a hearing on the ease was| held to determine whether the acci- dent happened in the course of the man's employment. 1t is ordered by the award made by the commissioner that the bank shail |’ pay medical, hospital and surgical bills for Mr. Chapman on account of the injury sustained on Jan. 7, 1919, and that $14 per week for 208 weeks, It is found that the injury occurred in the course of the man's employ- ment, and it ig found that the con- ditions of Mr. Chapman’s employ- ment and duties were such that it woulg be difficult to find anything he might do which would take him out- side of his employment, so long as he was producing a feeling of goodwill and friendship on the part of people of the rural communities d4nd the re- spondent bank. The case presented unusual and in- teresting features from the stand- point of the application of the work- men’s compensation law, On January 7th, 1919, the claimant was about to saw some wood for a neighbor by the name of Ingham in| the town of Saybrook whenwihe bal- ance wheel attached to a portable.| circular saw burst, = portions of it striking him in the body and right arm, injuring the arm to such an ex- tent that amputation had to be dome at the shoulder joint on the same da; The injury oecurreq@ about clock in the morning and claimgnt was taken to the hospital where he remained for about two month: The injury was not due to any se- rious and wilful misconduct on the part of the claimant, nor was it so claimed by the respondents. All the facts in the case were practically agreed to by the parties | at interest with the exception of the question of whether the Injury was one arising out of and in the eourse of employment. The claimant ,on the day of his in- jury, was_in the employ of the re- spondent bank as its agricultural agent, his contract of ‘employment with said bank having been made on March 1st, 1918, to continue for one year_ at a salary of $2000 a year. In| all his activities claimant was: re-| sponsible directly to the agricultural committee of the bank, which was made up of three directors, of which committee Mr. Edward W. Hazen was chairman, and not to the officers or other ‘directors of the bank The bank furnished the claimant with a Ford touring for the pur- poses of transportation and also for doing whatever work he could do| h it to accomplish the results} which the bank contemplated at the time. thev procured his services. It is found that claimant owned a Tord truck himself which he made use of when the bank's automobile was not in cond'tion; he often used hig_own anto, at times when the baiK's machine was not disabled when it was found better suited to on the work in which he was engaged, all of which facts he duly reported in his daily reporis to,*re tural committee the bank. ant had a power attachment 30 o': | wing wood and it is for on the morning of claimant’s he had gone in his 2 to Mr. Ingham's farm to saw same wood for him, the circular saw which was to be used to saw the woed beinz connected with the power chment on the clalmant’s own - ™ car = wladmant wasnbout fo.saw this fors Mr occurred: he was to do it as a of accommodation for Mr. In and no arrangement ha made for claimant’s receivin; pay fromy, Mr. Ingham for thz neither was any contemplated. Ingham was a neighbor and claimant agréed to help him out by sawing a smail 1ot of wood which Mr. Ingham had sold ‘and wished to et sawed, he having no other means of getting the work dotp. The ti required to saw the wood would have bgen over half an hour, there is found to have existed a mu- tual understanding that the sawing of the wooq was a matter of accom- modation only, that the claimant should receive no pay for his s vices, and it was known to both the claimant and Mr. Ingham that the services to be rendered were, along the line of a great variety of ser vices which the claimant was render- ing daily in the rural communities in his capacity as agricultural agent of the Middleiown National Bank. The claimant had no other occupa- tion than that of agricultural agent of the Middletown National Bank ex- cept that he was permitted to opac- ate a small farm, and he was also president of the farm bureau and encouraged by the bank to give mo: or less time to that work in connec- tion with his work for the bank. The only salary received by the claimant came from the bank. Claimant had been agent for a power attachment before entering the employ of the bank and the agency had never been revoised, but the evidence shows that during his employment with the.bank there had been but two sales made of the power attachment. He charged no commission but received the sum of five dollars for assisting in the sale of one attachment, there being nothing received on the second sale. At the time of his injury claimant was not usingsthe power attachment for the purpose of demonstrating same to Mr. Ingham or with the hope of ever making a sale to him, but his sawing of the wood was purely a favor and matter of accommodation as stated above. On the other hand Mr, Ingham was a prominent man -in 0la Saybrook ang‘was tax collector of the town and kept his actount in Fssex, and his account was accordingly one which the respondent bank would have been very glad to secure. The facts leading_up to the ap- pointment of Mr. Chapman as agri- cultural agent of the Middletown Na- tional Bank are of considerable im- portance in considering the question as to whether his injury on Jan. 7. 1919, could be considered as one aris- ing out of and in the course of his employment. The scope of his work is also an impertant factor in decid- ing the principal question in dispute in the present case. The facts are not Ingham when the in-! g the M wn N ing nis attoation 5 efforts being made to bring about a et ‘}Tvllnymb between banks and far- mers so that short be term loans might e led them . to improve the ag- ricultural - condifions in the county, ‘all of which would tend to greater development-of farming in Middlesex county. It was a war measure for the purpose of increasing farm pro- duction ag well as ultimately in- creasing business for the bank. Upon this suggestion the bank vot- ed to appoint a committee of three \directors to be known_as the agricul- tural committee, of which Mr. Hazen was chairman as stateq above. On Feb. 1st, 1918 Mr. Hazen, ds chairman of the committee, recom- mended that a special man be pro- cured for the extension of the.agri- cultural interests and the interests of the Middletown National Bank. / On Feb. 15, 1918, the bank voted to appropriate a sum not to exceed $4000 for the extension of this work. On_March 1st, 1918, Mr. Frederick, 8. Chapman of Old Saybrook was hired by the agricultural committee as agricultural agent of the bank, for one year, at a salary of $2000, his work_ to be entirely under the suber- vision of the agricultural committee. In the “Report of Committee on Plans for Securing Agricultural Ac- counts” (which was laid in as evi- dence as' Exhibit A) it is found that the bank had in mind employing 2 special man who should study care- fully the conditions in ,each commu- nity and town outside of the city of Middletown, to get acquainted with and close to those individuals in each community to whom he could give advice or. assistance in any way along a great variety of aericultural Ines, and to aiso instruct them wherever possible along the line of -securing financial assistance from the bank and of opening accounts with the bank. Briefly the function of Mr. Chap- man.as agricoltural agent was to procure deposits and discounts for the bank from the rural districts, to promote the agricultural and com- mercial interests of the surrounding community, to make the bank well and favorably known gmong the in- fluential citizens and those liable to have husiness of value to the bank, to assist in the promotion of the pro- duction of food, and to aid in all other patriotic’ enterprises in which the bank was interested from patri- otic motives There were other exhibits laid in as evidence, marked B and C. which purported to show the wide scope of the duties which the claimant was expected to engage in as agricultural of the bank. He could do al- t_any < which, in his opinion 1d be looked upon with favor b the work. It was left entirely with the claimant to use his ow ment as to wha o, ‘when he should do manner no regu- lar known by m were T and wi dence, hours, it t situral committee : eports, which Tis o the a and to keep the s v’ ational @ ‘gngaged in s farmers, fease farm £ agricultural ilarge the both in an ef production and e tions, and & business of thi Bank.

He made daily reports to the agri- ultural committee, which reports ere approved, and they were at all times well informed as to his activi- ties, were satisfied with his work and his methods, and had never curtailed him in any way ag to these activities or methods, but had rather com- mended them. ¢ Many acts of purely manual labor were also done by the claimant as an accommodation to his neighbors farmers in the county in the further- ance of his functions as agricultural agent of the bank, such as: Assisting in binding oats (Aug. 8), raising potatees (July 9, 11), heiping remove an automobile from a ditch (Aug. 28). On frequent occasions claimant used his own Ford truck, either be- cause the bank’s car was laid up for repairs, or because his own truck wag better adapted for the special work which he desired to accomplish, in- stances of these are May 24, Aug, 24, Aug. 26, Sept. 20, Sept. 23, and Nov.

D You Can’t Brush Or Wash Out Dandruff The only sure way to get rid of dan- druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four to moisten the scalp and rub gently with the finger tips. Do’ this tonight, and by morning, mmost if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more ap- plications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dan- druff you may have. You will find, too, that all itehing and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your bair will be fluffy, Tustrous, glossy, silky and soft,. and look and feel a’hundred ‘times better.

Casey of the Third Massachusetts internal revenue district. Aside from the salary which he re- ceives during the year, the clergyman must consider as taxable income all fees received for special services for Individuals or organizatiéns. - Also in case he is provided with a rectory or other living quarters, the fair ren- tal value of the accommodations must’ be reckoned in with his income. If his congregation provides his means, their fair value must be counted in making out his return. There may be, in addition, bank interest, bonq interest, anqg a number of other kinds of income on which a clergyman must pay a tax as well as the farmer or business man. Bonafide gifts are not taxable un- der the income tax law, but a clear distinction must be marked between gifts and fees.

GOVERNOR HOLCOMB SAYS “COLLEGES NEED THE FUNDS Governor Holcomb has made the following plea in behalf of several eastern colleges: There is in this country at the pres- ent time an alarming shortage’ of teachers, and a still greater shortage , of teachers with proper and adequate preparation for their work. The teach- ing profession should be safeguarded and dignified in all our colleges by endowments that put a premium on sound learning and educational gem- ius; it should be upheld and strength- ened by the yearly entrance into it of college graduates. Moreover, the col- leges compete with the normal schools, the normal compete with high schools, the high schools with the grammar grades, for the best teachers. For the sake of the lower schools, where the children of the great majority of peo- ple are taught, the standard chould be maintained at the top. Several of the eastern colleges for women are about to make a public appeal for funds to carry on their work without ldss of present high standards. Mount Holyoke coliese Smith college, Bryn Mawr, the Con- which gives backsround for the career of teaching. In a country 30 per cent. of whose teachers are women institu- tions which train women bave a com- manding appeal. During the last quarter of the year 1919 the deposits in our Connectiout savings banks increased more than nine million dollars. An investment of some of this money in the colleges of our country will pay better return: in the future welfare of the countrs than savings banks’ investments pay “Grippe” Leaves The epidemic of colds and grippe that has been sweeping the country has seemingly left even a greater number of people than ever in a weak- ened, rundown copdition from which there is but a slow recovery.
