Arriving at the camp in the morn- ing, the Lions and guests at 1 o'clock marched to the camp dining room, where dinner was served. Immedi- ately after dinner they were enter- tained by a lively series of boxing bouts between the boys at the camp. Later there were races between the hoys., a base ball game between the Lions and the camp personnel, in which the latter were the winners by a 6-to score; a tug-of-war and other events.

By the Associated Prese. NEW LONDON, Conn., August 18. —A “death calm” has closed the New London home of the late Senator Frank B. Brandegee, who three years ago took his life in Washington in a ‘it of despondency over financial re- verses. The beautiful estate in which a gen- erous host once welcomed _friends from all over the Nation lies deserted. The mansion is closed and the once | cavefully kept grounds are a shambles. Not long after the death of its own- er the property was sold to Mrs. M. J. Russell of this city, who spent consid- |erable in improving the property and turned it into an inn. The venture started off splendidly. But, the story runs, a somber air hov- ered about the house and spacious grounds. Negro helpers could not be kept. Under no circumstances could they be induced to enter the cellar. “It's haunted down there,” they said. The venture wound up in the courts. The house was closed and it remains closed. PLANE HITS TWO COWS FARMER INVOKES LAW London-Brussels Air Liner With Passengers Aboard Has Accident in Clover Field. By the Associated Press. PARIS, August 18.—An airplane collision ' with cows has caused a French judicial comedy in which air- men and a farmer are at odds. At Dunkirk the London-Brussels air liner with 10 passengers aboard came down in a clover fleld and ran into two cows. The farmer had to have the cows killed. He promptly drew up a bill of expense. Besides the two cows, he added the item of one fleld of clover and present- ed it to the pilots. The pilots argued and wouldn't pay. The farmer went off to the seat of justice and came back with a court officer and a writ of attachment. The airplan owners finally had to put up security before the indignant farmer would let them board the machine and fly away. DIFFICULTIES BESET PHONE FILM PROMPTER Hesitation on Part of Actors Threatens to Destroy Illusion View of Lumdon Productrs. By the Associated Press. LONDON, August 18.— Bernard Shaw, Sybil Thorndike and her hus- band and manager, Lewis Casson, have been making a speaking film out of “St. Joan.” Miss Thorndike carried “St. Joan” to success on the London stage. “The problem of prompting becomes very acute in the speaking films,” “The actor who dries up and loses his lines is a great trag- edy when he is speaking at the same time a camera is registering his act- ing. Of course, trained actors do not actually dry up very often, but they hesitate, and hesitation is magnified 80 much on the phonofilm that it is almost enough to destroy the illusion.” Casson thinks the speaking film has an interesting future, but he says ex- periments with “St. Joan’ have not advanced far enough to make it cer- tain that the film will be released for general use.
