 The arguments on Atty. Wer- theimer,s motion were heard at length and attracted statewide at- tention.
 The present case is the result of an accident on Buckingham street on Dec. 20, lo3o,
 It is alleged in the complaint that Joseph Padula parked truck owned by the other defendant on the wrong side of Buckingham street on the day set forth and that when he started to drive away he hit the Doherty child, severely in- jurying him. The injured youth was one of Q group of several children who were playing in the street, and the, complaint claims negligence setting forth that tho truck driver was in clear view of the children and that the accident should not have happened,
 Injuries set forth are fractures of both legs and contusionS ana abrasions of the body.
 The defense has filed e special de- fense in the case alleging contribu- tory negligence. It is claimed the Doherty boy ran Into the Padula car.
 The defense lawyers include Atty. Michael V. Biansfleld and Atty. Sidney Casscl of this city and Atty. William J. Carrig of New Haven

Glass Blocks
Easy TO Use

Glass blocks are not confined TO
use in masonry buildings. although
they are usually laid up in mortar
such as brick work.
Varying numbers of blocks may
be used in one panel. and the glass
panels can be employed with any
type of wall construction. Most
builders suggest that the area in
which glass blocks are used should
be dictated by the amount of out
side light needed and by the deco
rative effect desired.
A caution to be observed when
building q panel of glass blocks
is TO allow for movement of the
adjacent wall. This is obtained
BY inserting thin resultant expan-
sion strips around the sides and
top of the panel These act as
cushions and prevent damaging of
the panel by any movement Of the
wall.
