FILMS WILL DEPICT MARINE PLANT GROWTH Expansion of Organisms Will Be Shown at Geographic Society Lecture Tomorrow. Marine plants will apparently grow on the motion picture screen before members of . the National Geographic Society tomorrow evening at the Wash- ington Auditorium when Arthur C. Pillsbury _exhibits some remarkable P“hamgraphi he recently made on the Sacific Coast. The films were made by means of a lapse-time camera, so that the growth of many weeks is shown in a few sec- onds. Not only is the exterior of the plants shown, but by adapting an X-ray tube of low voltage to cas. an image on the film Mr, Pillsbury shows the ex- panding organisms of the plants. A native of England, Mr. Spurgeon came to this country with his ents, settling 5 uncle, Robert P. Porter, was connected with the Philadelphia Press and Mr. Spurgeon en{::d newspaper work under his guidance. Subsequently he did newspaper work in Cleveland, where his !?l‘nfle had bought a paper, and then went to New York. After being with the Mail and Express he went to the New York Herald. Leaving the latter in 1900, he joined the staff of the New York World. During some 15 years’ service on the New York World he held the positions of night city editor, city editor and managing editor. In 1915, upon invita- tion of Cyrus H. K. Curtis, Mr. Spur- geon went to Philadelphia as editor of the Public Ledger. He remained in that position for a number of years, during which time the paper greatly expanded its foreign service and devoted much space to international affairs. During this period Willlam H. Taft, the retired Chief Justice, and Col. Ed- ward M. House were contributing editors to the Ledger. Mr. Spurgeon is survived by his widow and two brothers, Robert H, and Thomas W. Spurgeon, KUSBAND ANSWERS WIFE’S DIVORCE SUIT Misconduct Is Charged in Reply to Action Seeking Lim- ited Decree.
