Judge Rebukes
 Stratford Man

Asking damages of $150 to cover an item Of $102, Raffaele Martucci, this city, is granted $132.44, and triple costs of SIS in an action against Frank and Mary Luciano, Stratford, recently heard by Judge John J. Walsh in Common Pleas court. The transaction between the plaintiff, a carpenter, and the defendant, a plumber, followed an agreement sign ed by the parties of the action, May II, 1921.
 The court severely rebuked Luciano for his attempt to deceive the court and his counsel by inserting a clause in the contract after the plaintiff had signed it, and pointed out to the de- fendant's counsel that ignorance of the law was a poor excuse in view of very average intelligence displayed in other parts of the transaction, upon the part of the defendant.

REFNEMENTS ADDED TO FORD
ENCLOSED CARS

Many added conveniences and re-
finements are to be seen in the Ford
enclosed cars now being displayed by
the local authorized Ford dealers
The interior of both the coupe and
sedan is now finished in an attractive
shade of walnut brown broadcloth; ;
and the seats are upholstered with a
similar material threaded with chalk
ed ebonystripe. Heavy floor rugs give
an added touch of comfort. Lifts of a
special design, minimize the effort of
raising or lowering the windows. Door
bumpers insure tighter fitting and
new door gripe, both inside and out
add to the riders convenience.
The demand for Ford enclosed cars
has been unusually high during the
past two months: Although production
has been speeded up in the Ford fac
tory at Detroit, sales continue to ex-
ceed the output, making it necessary
for purchasers in many parts of the
country to wait for their cars. Local
dealers say this is the reason they
have been urgibng customers to place
their orders as early as possible
