Rules that will be followed in the State championship “spell-down” have been announced by Dr. James N. Rule. Su- perintendent of Public Instruction. The word list to be used in the final be will be prepared from the metro- politan Sunday newspapers after all county eliminations have been held. There are indications that competition will be so keen that it may become necessary to supplement such a list with a special group of words known to old-time spelling bee enthusiasts as “jaw breakers.” Participants in the final beé¢ will be arranged alphabetically by counties which they represent. The speller will be expected to pronounce the word before he attempts to spell it. Correc- tion of spelling will not be permitted after a word has been completed. The mis-spelled word will not be given to the next in order. The pronouncer will be the judge of the correct spell- ing, subject to an appeal to the judges. Four judges will be selected three of whom shall be acting at all times. If a word admits of two spellings, these shall be determined by standard die- tionaries. erm Soller se Result of a Fall Mrs, ‘Philip Greiner, on New Hawv- | en St, is suffering with a badly sprained knee, resulting from a fall on Sunday. ene tll Cee: Letters Granted Union National Bank, Mount Joy, executor of Harry S.
