QUESTIONNAIRE FOR 1929-30 EDITION OF 
Who’s Who IN THE NATION’S CAPITAL 
Your biography will be edited solely from information given us by yourself. 
The scope of data asked for herewith is more complete than that asked for in the 
questionnaire of two years ago as you will see from your biography in that edition. This 
questionnaire reflects a digest of comment and criticism of many people on the last vol- 
ume and our own careful study of the work of other compilers. Although we offer the 
option on this page of correcting your old biography we would much prefer your filling 
out this new questionnaire. 
We will send, for your information and correction, a galley proof — sample below — 
of your biography in type and as it will appear in the volume. We will take care to 
represent you accurately but cannot accept responsibility for errors which md^ creep in.
