200 weeks for the death OF her nus
hand. BENJAMIN S. Knowles, as the
result Of an injury received by being
crushed in gravel bank on Dec. o.
1917.
Chairman Littleheld says in his
decision:
ut appears that during the last
week Of October, 1917. the deceased
was engaged by the respondent en-
pIoyer to draw gravel from the Big
Glow Dit, so-called. to the Burrough
& Clark dam. in the town Of Cor
lima, and that during this period ne
worked IS an employee for the re-
spondent.
From Nov. s, to Dec. 5, the date
OF injury and death. the deceased
furnished the respondent with gray
. ell and sand by contract, delivering
! the same at the Burrough & Clark
| dam, at certain price per yard.
| This was an oral contract between
| the parties made at Waterville, and
was fulfilled by the deceased until
| the date Of his death. The deceased
employed several men to assist In
| loading at the gravel pit. and trans
ported the sand and gravel by means
| of a tractor until within few days
| Of his death when he began using
| teams.
THE deceased was not carried on
the pay roll OF the respondent as an
employee and could not be consider
| ed as such, as he had contracted for
the delivery Of certain quantity OF
gravel and sand. and all relations be-
| tween the deceased and the respon-
| dent from Nov. 6 to the date Of death
was that Of contractor"

HOW TO ANSWER THEM

The provost marshal's office has is
sued a large sheet of instructions to
both registrants and registers as to
the proper method Of answering the
questions on the new questionnaires
for the registration of Sept. IL next.
The questions are 90 in number and
no man need go astray in the matter
Of giving a complete and detailed
history Of himself in answering, 50
minute are the instructions.
They start with the full name
(initials not allowed) of the ragis-
trant. followed by his permanent
home address, age, date Of birth and
race. II a citizen, he must state
whether he is native born, natural
lied, or became citizen before at
tanning majority by his father being
naturallzed. If an alien. whether a
declarant or non -declarant. If not a
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1918-09-07

citizen, he must name country to
which he claims allegiance.
Present occupation, employers ad-
dress and place of employment or
business, name and address Of near
est relative must be given and he
will then sign or make his mark to
the QUESTIONABLE.
The registrar will then note and
enter the registrant's height, whether
tall, medium or short the build,
whether slender. medium or stout;
color Of eyes and hair; and any OBJ
vious physical defects. such as the
loss of an arm, leg, hand or eye.

the registrant to enter his claim for

ones. That will be attended to by
the local board, after the filing out
Of the QUESTIONABLE and registra-
ton.
1t is expected that fast time will be
made in handling the missionaries,
