 The practice of using a knife on the bobbins is not locked upon with favor by the employers. and :n fact using a knife on thu new bobbins is claimed to be against the rules of the company, but it Is Q well known fact to the over seers that the use of a knife on the old resorted to by most of the employees as it is rather difficult to accomplish the desired result by any other method with any degree of speed.
 It Is found that at the particular time in which accident occurred, the employe in question was engaged in the line of work previously stated and was cutting the thread from an old brought out at the nearing it is found that the injury arose out of and in the course of her employment and with out any serious and wilfu1 misconduct on her part contributing thereto.

 Reasoning by analogy the dependen- ty in the Massachusetts case occupi- CT practically the same position which the injuries empioye died in the case at bar.
