One of the questions was: Will there be any proper nouns?"
 While no official decision on this question hes been made by nation al headqudrters, 1t is safe to say there undoubtedly will be some pro- per nouns. The list to be used in New Britain contains at least one word Monday" The word list for the national contest has been pre- pared by Claude Moore Fuess and Arthur w. Leonard. instructors in English at Phillips Academy of An dover. Mass, and co-authors of "A High School Spelling Book"
 It would be well for spoilers to brush up on their geography. Mas sachusetts. Chicago, Punxsutawney, Conshohocken. Wiasahickon, Schuyl. kill Haven and other such words are likely to crop up unexpectedly.
 There are very few rules, govern ing the contest. One young woman wants to know if any special style of dress is required, either at the To- cal or national contest.
 Spoilers may pronounce a word after 1t is given. or not, at their OWL option. They may ask for a deflni- ton. The pronouncer. may at his own discretion, define a word a sec- ond time. giving q different defini- ton.
 If upon a second definition the speller still seems unfamiliar with the word, he or she shall be consid- cred as having missed.
 Spoilers must pronounce their let ters loud enough to be heard without difficulty. Although a speller, when once starting a word may not start over and change the spelling, the judges may at their own discretion require the speller to repeat the spelling of the word loud enough to be heard. If there is any question of the speller having changed the spelling he or she may be required 10 spell another word. A speller once having pronounced letter, cannot change it. If the letter is incorrect even though pronounced by accident the speller is out.
 A speller who accepts any signal from the audience while spelling . word is automatically out. There l. no appeal from the de- cision of the judges.

(Continuad from First Page) for extensive commercialization of the debt is the seed of danger to tho German financial structure, since under the Dawes plan Germany is protected from making injurious transfers. Commercialization of course would make such protection impossible, since bonds and their interest must be met or German credit seriously impaired.
 The present problem of the Amer ican delegation is not even so sim- pie one as having their new pro- posals accepted by the Germans. Once they have obtained this thay must turn around and make the settlement agreeable to the creditor nation delegations themselves.
 The allied proposals to Germany of 2,20O,OO0.OOO mark annuiti as (about 352s.00O, ,000). rising somc- what each year. was arrived at only after bitter haggling among the delegations. and has been declared to be irreducible.

 tenial Danger to Public

"He should have had the brakes attended to sooner" Judge Stanley J. Traceski said in police court today as he imposed fine of SIS and costs in the case of Plus Oshana 32. of 124 Linden street, on the charge of op- erating an automobile with defective brakes. Many accidents could be prevented by good brakes" he con- cluded.
 Officer Delbert Veley testified that he noticed bakery delivery truck in front of Oshana's place of business on Lafayette street yesterday after noon. and he suspected that tine brakes were not in proper condition because the front wheels were turned towards the curb and the emergency brake was not set. When Oshana came out. the of- ficer asked him if the brakes were in good condition and he replied that they were. but a test disclosed that the emergency brake was use- less. while the foot brakes would not stop the truck within IS feet while going at the rate of IS miles an hour. on East Main street.
 Attorney A. g. Aharonian entered . plea of guilty for Oshana and told the court the brakes had been put in condition since the arrest. Oshana thought they were working, having had them attended to recently, the attorney said. and he also told him that he proved to Officer veley that the foot brakes were in condition. Violates Rules of Road Robert Germon, 29, of 165 Pleas ant street. was fined $10 and costs on the charge of violation of the rules of the road. but Judge Traceski re- mitted the fine on payment of costs of S10.79 and suspended judgment on charges Of driving without hav- ing an operators license and cer.i- ficate of registration in his possess sion. Germon produced the papers | in court and said he had neglected to take them out of his clothes when | he changed.

 STORY Of MANKIND.
DeplorS Byktmn Of xm d
 "RubbG Stinp' Type

The achievements of the worlds greatest men have bean due largely to the fact that they have possessed more than the usual amount sf sn- dividualism. according to Pro0scu- ting Attorney Joseph c. Woods, who spoke at . strawberry and ice cream dinner given by the Ntckel-a.Wsek club at the Y. M. C. A. last eve ming.
 MT. Woods traced the history of the world and its great men frem the days of ancient Rome to the present period. He said Julius Caeser was an example of the fact that men of superior gifts are ,thesa who possess outstanding individual ity. .s he was in public life at the ags of e3 and . world figure at 3S. He ruled all the east and tn time con- qucred all of Europe.
 Rome fell in t7s because the Romans became siothful, and the people from France who had been taught the game of war by Cassar. came down and conquered the Roln- ans, living In the lap of luxury" he said,
 The speaker traced the develop ment of the worlds great men through the days of Charlemagne. who carried the torch of Christian ity to every nation in Europe:" Will liam, the Norman king, who defsat- ed England and spread the inausnce of feudalism; 'ths ags of tho Rem naissance; the days Of Marco Polo. the development of tho printing press. the Bible: Christopher Colum- bus: Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon.
 He brought his hearers te ITO when hs pointed out the laying waste of Poland "a bleeding sacrihcs to the altar of civilization" by tho gev- ernment of Moscow and Empress Catherine Of Austria. Other great men of that period were DsKalb. Lafayette and Washington.
 The Civil War and the age of emancipation brought on the free. dom of the negro slaves in America and influenced the freeing of mil. lions Of serfa In Russia and tho Con- go slaves in Africa. he added, The present ase h ths ast 1f ma chinery the speaker UogStfhpeA, and "retresents su Amsrica the saessmu- lation of the best bleed of ell Eur ope, assimilated into men and women Of character who love the American nag and the sanctity Of the home."
 "Men of individuality have built this mighty nation and nave made it, what 1t '. ts4l1. IndivS&nelity means -sslf.rsk,enSA self.Hotee, seff. power and seif-sacrifice. The com. pIete self-acting unity of a maa't whole nature. mind and body. What . pity 1t is to see men oi the rubber stamp type. who fellow along the line of someone else's 1 thinking. It is far better to be . faii- ure than to march in rank and steE with those whose thinking is in the twilight between joy and sorrow.
