NEW YORKERS FIND U. S, AGE TEST BAFFLING Judges. Lawyers, Politicians and Men-in-Street Take Tumbles. Fy n.i'4 /*,-• N>w York Apr.: man can c*t tn be aidermame president without knowing what a tori*. ;5, anrl only on the rarest of nrcswior. would a Federal Judge hav* to determine whether a plaintiff i. b**n vilpended by the defendant. Nevertheless barristers. Judges, politicians. policemen prosecutors and men- about-town knitted their brow a todav and searched their memories <and intelligences! to an-.'-we- 30 silly questions containing such words as • rnonopodv." which had been compiled bv scholars of the Burea*s of Education as a brain power test. Dr David Segal, who prepared the brain twisters, said that one who an. we red 27 of them correctly was entitled to consider himself posse.* ed of a 21-year-old intelligence.

A majority of New Yorkers likewise refused to believe that a Poland China is a brand of hog. and most of them thought it was a kind of chicken, presumably from the association with China eggs. Only a man who has worked in a drue store or in his wife's kitchen would know what a spatula is—a limber blade which can be used to scrap" the in ide of a mortar or pot. Judge Patter>on was one who missed it. The New York Supreme Court uriges to whom the test was pre•*nted refrained judicially from px-prr->:ng their opinions with one exception.
