T, {PARIS VIEWS MATHILDE AS OLD-FASHIONED GIRL French Papers Praise Her Mod- esty and Simplicity and Rejoice in Her Romance. By the Associated Press, PARIS, Apgust 7.—The French newspapers are devoting much space to stories and pictures of Mathilde McCormick. She is called “the rich- est girl in the world,” and there is much comment on her plain dress and modest deportment. “She is nat a spoiled 'child of for- une,” says Le Journal. “She is not the familiar type of the American girl often: represented in the movies. She is neither sporty nor athleti ill-mannered and self-assertive. She is the gentle, sentimental, old-fash- ioned girl we used to love. She is brave cnough toeface notorlety and love the man of her choice, no matter how humble. If she wants to live her own lifé and have her own dreams of happiness, forgot by the world, her sh should be respected. Let her meet her Prince Charming in Switzerland and disappear forever as Mrs. Max Oser. Surely there would have been no objection had she at- tempted to contraet a vulgar mar- riage with some = broken-down Q: prince.” During Miss McCormick’s stay in Paris her father, Harold F. McCor- mick, has shown her much affection, driving her about in public taxis, Marriage Licenses. Marrtnge licenses have been issued to the following: Tsn Walter 8. Jumes J.

I The war smashed many illusions and destroyed many standards and sym- bo nd among others it seems to have destroyed Gibraltar as a sym- bol of strength. “As strong as the rock of Gibraltar,” used to be a com- mon phrase, but it means nothing if a recent article in the London ay Review is correct. “Gibral- . sdys this British journal, “has {been regarded as an impregnable { foftress and secure naval base, which gave us control of the straits. This is now a delusion. If Spajp were hos- tils the rock could be dominated by long-range guns and the dockyard de- stroyed.” So vanishes a symbol not merely of strength in the abstract, but of Brit- ish imperial strength in particular—a mighty fortress, which in the popular one of the great pillars of the British empire by virtue of which that empire was mistress of the Medi- terranean. which vast sea Britain could close at her will.

Minister Refuses to Quit. The whole trouble arose over the refusal of Rev. J. H. Hawkins, local pastors, to go to Harrisonburg, Va., as ordered by Bishop Albert Johnson of Philadelphia. Hawkins recently expelled some of the oldest members of the church, resulting in the congregation, one of the largest here, dividing up into factions. Af- ter he refused to give up the church a committee was sent to try him for insubordination, and he was sus- pended. The investigating committee was refused the keys, and got out a writ of unlawful detainer, returnable next TEN BULL'S EYES ARE “TRAINED FROM GROUND UP” PEEKSKILL, N.

Free-for-All Fight. Cholr rehearsal stopped abruptly, and all hands, men and women alike, engaged in a melee. James W. Ste- phenson, a Hawkins adherent, was said to have attacked Rev. P. D. Smith of Raphine, Va., one of the in- vestigators, with an ice pick, slitting his coat. A moment later the pick was driven toward the preacher's heart. Tt struck something hard, and it was found the preacher had a load- ed revolver in his pocket. Presiding Elder Roberts was mauled by men and women and finally was rescued by the police, who found the entire gathering shouting and ges- ticulating excitediy. Some of the lighits had been turned out, and in the partial darkness friend and foe alike were beaten and battered. Rev. Smith was arrested for carrying con- cealed weapons. At the hearing James Stephenson testified Rev. Roberts was drunk when he undertook to hold quarteriy conference, and that several official members “smelt his breath” to make sure of their suspicions During the riot Rev. Hawkins fled, and is said to have gone to Philadel- phia to lay his side of the church war before Bishop Johnson. It was ar- ranged to hold services tonight with police protection, it necessary.

Main Street Drama. Again Main street has declared its independence from Broadway. This time the Chautauqua, a typical Main street institution, is the declarer. The demand of cities and towns through- out the land, where the Chautauqua comes yearly, for dramatic entertain- ment, led to the organization of forty acting companics this year to make the circuit. The companivs were dependent on popular Broadway success for their plays, but now the Chautauqua _directors are seekin dramas of thelr own, which are tuned to the plain folk of the nation, “redolent of the sofl” and, of course, clean. To this end awards are offered for plays ‘accepted after submission to beard consisting mostly of men with high artistic standards, Three hun- dred dollars will be given for each play accepted by the board and a ! royalty of 5 per cent, guaranteed to be not less than $3,000. will be paid. | The star attraction will appear on | circuits throughout the country in 1923, The magnitude of the play- wright's audience may be grasped when it is known that 51.000.000 ad- mizsions were paid during 1921 and | at he United States have regular Chau- uqua seasons.
