“ DODGE NEIGHBOR OF BRITISH KING Automobile Magnate’s Son Owns St. Leonard’s Castle, Windsor. WINDSOR. England (#).—Living in grand baronial style, and neighbor to the King of England, is Horace E. Dodge, son of the Detroit automobile magnate, heir to a huge fortune, and present owner of one of England’s stately homes, St. Leonard's Castle, ‘Windsor. Every year, and for most of the year 1f he can, Dodge comes to his palatial Tetreat, with private golf course set4 in some of England's most beautiful countryside. Dodge, whose age is given here as 32, bought the castle and its sur- rounding estate, stretching almost to | fashionable Ascot, five years ago. It is one of the largest in the district end its value is rapidly increasing. Offered £2,500 for Use. Dodge said he was offered 52.500 for the hire of it for the smartest week of the year, Ascot week. The castle, an irregular old red brick building, originally belonged to| the British crown, Dodge said. 1t| was sold years ago when the state took over control of the real estate and lands previously inherited by the King s persona: possessions. An underground passage is sup- posed to connect with the royal demesne of Windsor Castle. Dodge said his gardener unearthed some time ago a broken-down passage in the grounds. The passage was full of water. “Gee, I'm going to have that water pumped out, and maybe I'll be able to call on the King,” Dodge said. Castle Has Ghosts, Too. ‘The castle, of course, would not be complete without its ghosts. Dodge vouches he has seen them, but says they don’t worry him. Actually, he enjoys telling visitors how past house | guests have been scared by his shad- | owy night walkers. | Though his guests may have their worries at night time, Dodge sees to| it that they are well provided for in | the day time. | They may play golf on his private course, or tennis on his private courts. | There are acres of grounds, well| wooded and shady, if they want to| take a walk. | Inside, there is a well-stocked, mod- | ern bar.

SPAIN'S PRESIDENT LOOKS T0 LERROUX Veteran Political Leader to Be Asked to Form An- other Cabinet. By the Associated Press. MADRID, September 21.—Confer- ences between President Alcala Zamora and political leaders indicated tonight he would call upon the veteran Ale- jandro Lerroux to form another gov- ernment along the lines of the one which resigned Friday. Alcala Zamora is anxious to have a government in time for presentation to the meeting of Parliament Tuesday. If Lerroux is called, as is expected, the veteran premier will have a busy time attempting to shape a cabinet which will have some chance of holding to- gether through the difficult parlia- mentary program. Lerroux explained the resignation of the cabinet headed by him yester- day because of the loss of support of the Agrarian party, which was an- gered by the restoration of public works services to Catalonia. “This crisis came as & real surprise //_—.J By the Associated Press. DEERPIELD, IIl, September 21.— There’s a human side to “Orphans of the Storm,” refuge for almost every- thing that barks, operated near here by Mrs. Irene Castle McLaughlin and socially prominent friends. “Some people think its silly to worry about dogs with the depression and all,” Mrs. McLaughlin said today, pushing through a pack of leaping and affectionate mongrels. “But we really help some people as ngich as we do their dogs. “About one-third of the dogs we ] . to me and seems most inopportune in |view of the international situation,” sald Lerroux. “For my part I am willing to return to my law profession if it seems necessary to get some one ! else.” Heavy Fine Assessed. OVIEDO, Spain, September 21 (#). —If Javier Bueno, editor of the So- clalist newspaper Avance, pays the fine assessed against him by court- martial today for participation in the October revolt he’ll pay plenty. The court ordered Buenc to pay an indemnity of 70,000,000 pesetas—in other words, $8,620,000. T 7hs 2 “Orphans of Storm” Dog Haven Has Human Side, Says Founder received last year came from indi- viduals who wouldn’t—or couldn’t— keep them any longer. We get them for all sorts of reasons. “Some are brought because they chase bicycles, some because they chase chickens or don’t like the ice man. One barks too much, another not enough. We get dogs from fam- ilies who are moving into two rooms from eight, or are going to California and don't want to take their pets along.” “Outgoing” dogs usually are bound for homes of children, Mrs. McLaugh- lin said. Before a dog is released a careful investigation is made to insure a happy future for him. Even then Orphans of the Storm retain title to the dog and may take it back if it isn't treated well. It was eight years ago that Mrs. McLaughlin first began, in a modest way, to provide a haven for dogs. Many soon joined the cause, until last year the kennels received ap- proximately 3,000 dogs. .
