MODESTO CACCO SEEKING s1O,OOO
WatertOwn Man Names Waterburians for Shock
 Sustained at Work

A suit for $lO,o0O damages was brought in common pleas court to- day by Modesto Cocco, of Water town, against Edward J. McAdam and James w. Rankin, doing busi- ness as the McAdam & Rankin Roofing O., and William J. Peru gini, all of Waterbury. Cocco ac- cuses the defendants of negligence and carelessness, which resulted m serious injury and shock to him on January p of this year, and which has disabled him ever since.
 According to the complaint, Cocco was employed by Nicholas Gary as general contractor on the erection of the Tower theater on WatertoWn avenue. McAdam and Rankin were independently employed, for the in- stallation of gypsum blocks on steel beams, for the ceiling of the build ing, and Perugini was employed for the construction of the roof on the gypsum blocks. On Jan. P, l94O the plaintiff was struck by a gypsum block which fell on him from the ceiling of the building.
 He claims that the injury he suf- fered was the result of the negll- gence of McAdam and Rankin, 1T using two short pieces of gypsum instead of one long one, that thu
 two pieces did not fit, but were lei
 unfastened, and that although th'
 men were told to take them down
 and replace them temporarily with
 long wooden plank, they failed to d
 so. He charges that they failed t
 warn others of the danger of thes loose pieces of gypsum.
 According to Cocco, Perugln1 wa
 also guilty of negligence in allow
 ing his employees to go on the roc
 to sweep off snow in the vicinity (
 the pieces of gypsum, which h
 knew, or should have known, wei '- loose. As a result of the combine le negligence of the defendants, a 100 % pound block of gypsum fell on Cox It CO.'S shoulder and chest, from tn le '; considerable height, and knocke II Il him unconscious.
 a. The plaintiff suffered severe col T. tusions of the left shoulder and u
 left chest, dramatic shock, and a s 5 were shaking up. For long tin CT he was unable to breath properl 1T and is still unable to do his usu ssy work.

Kings and Queens Rule the Deck, But Don't Always
 Take Tricks
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Amarica,s Card Authority


 Besides paving the way for the English Reformation, establishing "the Kings Navee," and doing away with numerous wives, Henry VIII of England claims lasting fame as the king pictured on our playing cards. Other monarchs have also been so honored. In early French decks, the kings represented David, Alexander, Caesar and Charlemagne, the re- spective leaders of Jewish, Greek, Roman and French peoples. In later years, state figures were occasionally pictured in place of the "head man" In United States, sketches of preSl- dents have been used.
