POOR SPELLING BY LAWYERS
 DISCLOSED BY JUDGE THOMAS

Judge F.. 5. Thomas of the United States district court at Hartford, formerly of Eastford, evidently is not without a sense of humor. The other day he held an impromptu spelling bee and put lawyers and government off, eiaIs in his court to the test of spell ing correctly 10 words in common use. These words were: Supersede. innuendo, inoeulate, rarefy, vilify. repellant, plaguy, embarrass, harass and pienieking. One a16e another the lawyers and government officials slipped up on the list. Judge Thomas chuckled at the embarrassment of those to whom he submitted the words but he might have tempered his glee with the thought that the same failure would have been recorded with almost any group of professional men. After all, it is more important for lawyers and government officials to know the law than it is for them to be letter perfect in spelling-The Pittsburgh Dispatch

He received a num- Der of bruises and abfasions on his chest. His escape from permanent injuries and even death. Is regarded as remarkable.
 The truck he was driving, which Is owned by the Interstate Trucking Company of New Bedford had al= most cleared the grade crossing when it was struck. The train engine crashed into the rear of the vehicle and damaged it considerably.
