der given which resulted in the seri- ous accident which occurred, but it appears to me to have been an error of judgment on his part which work men are so commonly making, and that there was no intention on Black mars part to get into a position which would result in an injury to himself. In fact. the injury which resulted fla tally was caused by the decedent's falling in an effort to save himself and to get out of danger after he had disobeyed the instructions not to get into a position of danger.
 A Casual EmpIoye.
 To briefly summarize:
 As Sampson had no men in his em- ploy at the mill on the day in ques ton. and but one on his farm, Black mar was not in Sampson's employ on June 30th
 It is found that Blackmar was in the employ of Carpenter on the day of his injury, but that he was simply a cas- ual employee, and engaged otherwise than for the purposes of the employ CTS trade or business: and that on the day of the accident Carpenter did not have regularly five men in his em- plOy.

 Be of Interest to Dairynen.

County Agent Whitman of the New London County Farm Bureau has com pleted arrangements for the Field meeting which is to be held tomorrow at the Uncas farm of W. F. Whiting af East Great Plain. The exception ally strong programme will be of in terest to ethe dairy1nen of this vicinity and to all farmers who are interested sumption and reducing farm expenses by more economical purchasing of concentra ted rations.
 At 10 a. m. Thursday, Karl B. Mus ser. EXten sion Dairyrnan of Storrs. will give informal talk pointing out the close relationship between dairy breeds and type. Feeding for production and the necessity of adequate records, us- ing Mir. Writings Dairy herd and records example
 Following this trip of inspection will be made over the farm taking in the following points of interest: Corn and soy bean for silage, clover and all falfa for hay and general field crops. This trip will be made under the su- pervision of Prof. W. L. Slate, Jr., of the Connecticut Agricultural college, who will explain points of interest and value of crop and soil management particularly covering home grown war rations for dairymen.

Many success ful cooperative grain purchasing as- sociations are doing business in Con- necticut, and there Is no reason why dairymen of New London county should not receive the beneht of such an association. MT. Writings farm is situated about one mile west of the Norwich Fair grounds in East Great Plain.

Tn a finding announced on Tuesday afternoon. Compensation Commissioner James J DOnohue of this city has dis missed the claim of Mrs. Emma Black mar, willow and dependent of the late Burchard F. Blackmar of Woodstock Valley, against C. B. Carpenter of Eastford or George NJ. Sampson of Woodstock While working as wood chopper in the town of Union, June s0th of this year. Mir. BIackmar met with an injury which resulted in his 5eath at the Putnam hospital on July Sd
 The hearing in the case was held at The commissioners office in this city on Aug. 1st-
 The decedent left surviving him his wife. Emma Bla cknar, who Is named n the caption as the claimant, with Fhom he lived at the time of his in iury. and whom he supported regular '. also the following minor children: Raymond. aged II years: Mildred, aged ' years. Maud, aged years and Ro- and, aged 1 1-2 years
 T. Is found that the widow is the Iole dependent of the deceased.
 From the testimony it appears that EcT a year, or thereabouts BIackmar lad been regularly employed as a sur Teyor or marker of lumber by respon- lent Sampson. who was a lumberman md operated a sawmi1.
 Four Men Employed.
 It is also found that Sampson had our men in his employ as follows: Scarborough. Esterbrooks, Lowell and 8lackmar (the decedent). and that fhese men were laid off on the night If June 29th, 1917, at which time Sampson shut down his mill, not to pen again until July 2d, because of lhortage of logs.
 From these facts it appears that on 'une 30th, 1917, the day Of the injury n question, Sampson had no men in lis employ at the mill, but he did have me man at work on his farm
 From the evidence it appears that espondent Carpenter was a farmer md lived on a farm which belonged to Ie was also engaged in settling his F1fe's estate, which included timber and, which was separate property rom the farm on which Carpenter lved with his mother.
 From the testimony 1t is found that | written contract existed between 9arpenter and Sampson (which con- ract is .. matte of evidence) whereby tampson agreed to saw the lumber cut md delivered to Sampsons mill by ,arpenter. who on his part agreed to eep the mill supplied with wood from he lot of the estate which he was "a andling, so the mill could run without clay or expense to said mill or men perating the same.
 It is found that on June 18th. 1917 fter SampsOn's employees learned tha T ne mill would not run the next day. arrangements were made by Blackmaf nd Esterbrooks (former employees of ampson) with Carpenter to get out sgs the next day to enable the mill

I to get started again on the following 1 Monday; and accordingly on the next morning, which was Saturday, June 1 30th, they proceeded to the lot in ques- 1 ton to cut and trim trees on the wood l lot owned by Carpenters wife and which Carpenter was trimming off to turn into money to settle the estate. This day, June 30th, was the first day that Blacknar had been employed by 1 Carpenter.
 Were Saving Down Tree.
 It appears that about g o'clock on the morning of June 30th, Darling and Wells were saving down a tree on the ! Carpenter were trimming a. large hem lock which had fallen, and MT. Black mar was trimming a. smaller hemlOck. After the tree had been partly sev- cred by Wells, Darling warned the men working in the neighborhood that the tree was liable to fall and it Appears that Blaclln1ar acknowledged the warn Ing. A short time later Darling gave another warning and Bla ackmar moved forty to fifty feet away from where it was thought the tree would fall. While the men engaged in felling the tree resumed their operations in order to land the tree on the ground. it ap- pears that BIaCkn1ar went back ge his trimming and placed himself in the danger zone again, and when it was 1 found that the tree was actually falling Blackmar was seen to be in the line of danger and was again warned by his associates.
 It is found, however, that in attempt ing to get out of the way Blackmar stumbled and fell, and the tree fell on him and fatally injured him.
 From the testimony it would appear that Carpenter had regularly in his employ from March until the end of June only two men on the timber lot (Wells and Howard) and one man on the farm (Albert Darling). George Darling lad been working under con tract up to June 30th, on which day he began worl1irs- for Carpenter by the day. A servant girl, who assisted Carpenters mother, with whom he mother and could not therefore be con- sidered an employe of Carpenter.
 Although Carpenter is found to have had different employees at different
 times assisting with the farm work as well as at the wood lot, it appears that at no time did he have on any one day a total of more than four men on both farm and lumber work, including bcfh the regular employees and temporary employees, from about the middle Of March, when operations were started on the wood lot down to the day of Blacknar's injury.

former, the kopek-ordinarily a

issue of paper kopeks, each repre-

@--A
WOULD BREAK FAMILY BONDS
Harvard Professor Declares Many
Relatives Can't "Get Along" Be-
cause Too Much Together.

The trouble with most families
that cant get along" is simply that
they live together too much. Percy
Goldthwait Stiles, physiology in
structor at Harvard, in recent book
on the conservation of nervous
energy, suggests that it's good for
every family to break up occasional
ly. Discordant atmosphere in the
home is a fruitful waster of nervous
energy. 1t often leads to neurasthe-
mia; and one neurasthenic in home
may infect the whole family. Such
difficulties are especially prevalent
among families of grownups. Chill
dren who got along with each other
and with their parents well enough
in their early years find it harder to
live a common life as their person.
alities develop and divergences of
taste and habit become confirmed.
Usually they continue living to-
gether unless they marry, in spite of
discomfort and friction, because they
regard common family life as newt
able.
1t is really an absurd thing that
grown men and women should feel
obliged to live in the same house and
subject themselves to constant close
and restricted existence regardless of
their preferences, merely because
they happen to be blood relatives.
They will be much better off mental
ly and physically, says Doctor Stiles,
and will no doubt think all the more
of each other, if they live apart oc-
casionally, or even permanently.
Such procedure seldom weakens the
family bond; it strengthens it.
