SELLERS TRAPPED UF BY TWO SIMPLE WORDS
Sore" and Build" Fatal to Their Hopes in
 Two Schools

It's the easy words that count. iThe words which are simple are the ones the best spoilers sometimes trip up on. Anyone who doesn't believe Ithis need go no farther than to ask Frank SacharkU of the Bartlett Ischool. Frank knows. Frank com peted with all the fifth grade spell CTS in his school and spelled them Iau down. When there were only two spoilers left the young woman
 teacher in that building who was calling out the words asked them to spell "sore." Just a simple four letter word. The other pupil for got, but Frank spelled it perfectly Now he is champion speller Of the Bartlett school and has a good chance of going to Washington from June 14 to 19 in the national spell ing contest as the guest of the Herald.
 Another young man who spelled the easy word and won chance to go to Washington is Henry Peck ot 55S Church street. Henry Is the champion of the Valentine E, Cham borlain school. formerly known as inc East street school and after hard battle finally defeated Joseph David on the word "diet."
 The four letter word proved the undoing of a young man at the Eli hu Burritt Junior High school this morning also. The contest had been narrowed down to the two best speIlers in the school when teacher gave the word 'knew," defining 1t as "He knew his lesson" The boy spell el it "new". but realized as soon as he had done so that he had spelled the wrong word. He corrected 1t hut was disqualified on the ground that he had had a chance to make Q second guess. The teachers are sure he knew how to spell the proper word correctly but his zeal caused him to act too hastily. GeneHioVe Zamoyski Of S55 High street, 14 years old, is the champion of that school now and will compete against | the others for a chance to visit the i nations capital
