 35TH BROKEN BONE
Bristol Victim Thinks Fractured Hip Sets
 World Record
(Special to the Herald)


 Bristol, March 1 One broken bone deserves another or at least 50 Peter Meyers of North Main street believes. Mir. Meyers is now receiv- ing treatment at the Bristol hospital for a broken hip. caused by a fall on the ice few days ago. This last break brings the total of frac- lures sustained at various times by the patient to 35, which local doc tors are inclined to believe is a worlds record. Mir. Meyers does not doubt the record part of it at all but at the same time he is not inclined 10 brag about it. All of the other fractures, 1t is understood, | have been to his arms and upper parts of his body.
 The numerous breaks are explain ed by the fact that Meyers bones are unusually brittle and easily frac- 'tured.

ARRANGING FEDERAL
 CITIZENSHIP TESTS
Delayed Examinations Will Be Held Here This
 Week

It was announced today by Emil J. Danberg. clerk of the city and police courts, that federal examiners from Boston will hold examinations for citizenship this week, possibly Wednesday and Thursday. The time and day will be announced later. The naturalization court however will not be held until after the spring elections or in April.
 There are between 400 and 500 applicants for citizenship papers. who have been waiting since last summer to be examined, but because of the illness of Commissioner of Naturalization Arthur J. Spellman. and other entanglements. the hear ing was postponed indefinitely. The last naturalization court was held in June and the next hearing was scheduled for October. It did not materialize. During the last two months. scores of applicants made inquiries of MT. Danberg and Americanization Director James E. O'Brien about the matter, but no definite answer could be given them as nothing could be learned from the commissioner or his office as to the cause of the delay.
 Many of the applicants have been planning to go abroad in the spring, while others made arrangements last summer to have their families join them here. expecting that the naturalization court would be held in early fall. Because of the post ponement of the hearing, the num- Der of applicants has increased and the spring court of naturalization will be one of the largest in recent years.

FRIC|DAIRE
 RUNS BEHIND
 ALL ORDERS
Sales So Far This Year Exceeding All Prev
 ious Records

Although operating at twenty per cent above maximum rated ca pacity, plants of Frigidaire Corpor- ation at Dayton, Ohio, are running behind orders, and sales for the year to date have exceeded by far all previous records. according to information received by w. J. John son, local representative.
 April shipments of finished pro- ducts totaled 1901 carloads, he said Compared with the same month last year, these shipments showed an increase of 129 per cent in household electric refrigerators, 85 per cent in compressors, and 88 per cent in cooling coils. Present indications are that May will be another peak month in the con- panys history.
 So great has been the factory's effort to meet this unprecedented increase in business that a Frigid- aire compressor is finished and ready for shipment every 12 sec onds of the working day. The present plants, comprising 53 acres of floor space, which were placed into operation in 1927, were con- sidered at that time adequate for the requirements of the business for long time. Already, it is said, the absolute limit of production with present factory facilities has been reached.
 New products of his company have contributed largely to the phenomenal increase in business, the local representative said. The Frigidaire cold control has been a primary factor in this popularity" ]" he declared. "In one week more than 100000 people visited dealers showrooms to learn about it.
