Edward Samlow of This City, Known to the Legitimate Stage, Now Rep- resents New York Concern. Edward Samlow, known by his stage name of Edward Sell, is at his old home in this city. He is now traveling representative for the Auto- phone company with offices and fac- tory at 324 East 23d street, New York city. Mr. Samlow is at pres- ent engaged in looking after the finan- cial interests of the concern in this section and is getting backing in this vicinity. Among the men inter- ested in his company is Colonel Wil- bur C. Brown, well known in this city. The company is ready to man- vfacture motors on a large scale. This Autophone motor is the first noiseless one to be used in a phonograph. Be- sides eliminating the noise of other machines, the Autophcne has at- tained a record for absolute pitch from high soprano to low bass. This without the hum of the motor and scraping of off pitches will make for a musical recital almost as accurate as heard in person. The motor used by the company has only recently been completed after 16 years of work and study by the chief engineer. MARRIAGE LICENSE. The following marriage licenses have been taken out: Thomas F. Sweeney of Rockville, and Miss Mary A.

It began with the discovery by a reporter that architects had carved a dollar sign as a twin motif to the lovers’ knot over the “bridge's en- rance” to St. Thomas's church on ifth avenue. A few days later some one leaving the Sunday services ob- served for the first time that minia- ture faces of modern men and maids of the avenue had been chiseled above the main door of the edifice. A con- gregation that went to pray remained to laugh. Some of these caricatures monocles, others wore smiles; some were surely tired business men and good housewives while others mani- festly were flappers and boulevardiers. Everybody conceded that they repre- sented modern Fifth avenue “types.” One face was not so modern, how- ever. It was a year or two behind the times. On its nose was the un- mistakable bulge of a “rum blossom.” Another had such a tored look ob- servers were sure it was a man who just went to church to please the wife. Rumors that many well known buildings in New York had been sub- jected to jocose treatment by the ar- tisans who worked upon them moved whole flocks of people to sally forth, some with spy-glasses or lorgnettes, to look for sculptured jokes. Archi- tects gave interviews explaining how serious the satire was; this sort of humor has been practiced since the middle ages, not in a spirit of levity, but with the design of presenting to the people examples of right and wrong in thought and action, they said. Skeptics persisted in believing the architects had just had their little joke, and none would have been sur- prised in finding a bust of Lenine concealed in the decorations of the New York Stock Exchange, or a carv- ing of Falstaff at the headquarters of the Anti-Saloon league. At New Haven it was noted that Harkness Memorial Quadrangle— which every Yale man considers the last word in college architecture—in America—sheltered among the nooks of its buildings many faces, figures and symbols of college life. There was the placid bull-dog with horned rimmed spectacles and a grim-visaged bull-dog wearing a football helmet, and there were many shades of Blue history revived in stone. The students, unlike some of the parishioners of St. Thomas’s church, were pleased with the decorative work. It is believed no Yale student will raise a single sigh of objection unless somebody discovers a Harvard man graven in the structure. Designers of Gothic buildings al- ways have peen possessors of a hu- morous drafting pen. Their satiric chuckles at clergy and laity have come down through the centuries in the stone of many of the sober old cathedrals of Europe. The medieval craftsmen were downright boisterous in some of their caricatures. Glut- tony is portrayed in clerical robes on the battlements of Magdalen college, Oxford. In a Yorkshire church “Ec- clesiastical Sincerity” is rendered by two foxes, representing the sporting clergy of the Middle Ages, listening to a bishop’s instructions. Out of their hoods peep the heads of stolen geese. Thirteenth century fun-makers guf- fawed mightily at all orders of clergy in an ornamentation of the Strasburg cathedral depicting “The Funeral of the Fox.” This sculpture created so many irritating embroglios among churchgoers that it was demolished in the middle of thc nineteenth cen- tury. Wandering minstrels of the Middle Ages were satirized for the fondness of free meals, one of the stalls of Westminster cathedral show- ing a fiddling pis. Architects have said that many churcnes of America, unknown to their congregations, contain humorous decorations. Prevailing interest in [finding them is expected to increase church attendance.

DOG AGTORS GIVE | LOTS OF AMUSEMENT Dixie, Chief of Efitertainers, Is Really Clever Chicago, Aug. 30.— Volunteer dog actors which frequent Chicago bath- ing beaches during the summer have been banned by police at one north side beach because the crowds they collect along fashionable Lake Shore Drive obstruct traffic. A half dozen dogs spend most of their time during the summer months at the beach, ready to dive, chase 1921.

The Young People's society of Str ohn’s Evangelic Lutheran church will hold its annual Labor Day out- ing at Double Beach, Branford. The committee in charge are looking for- ward to a very lively time, as there are to be two indoor baseball games, one for the girls and one for the boys, potato races, fat man’s race, egg and spoon race, sack race and aquatic sports. A general good time and a swim to every member that attends, is assured. Members planning to be present and that have not as yet given in sticks and catch balls thrown by any- one who will stop to play with them. Chief of the canine entertainers is Dixie, a pedigreed Airdale with the temperament of a prima donna, his own sct of stage or rather beach pro- perties and a list of tricks which cause scores to line the shore walk anytime ‘he consents to perform, which is us- ually from morning until late in the evening. Dixie likes to attract attention, and he has his own method of collecting a crowd. He brings with him to the beach two sticks, each about a foot long, and a cork ball the size of a baseball. Selecting a prospective as- sistant for his act, Dixie offers either the sticks or the ball to be thrown into the lake. Retrieving the prize, the Airedale ig- nores his first friend and stops a new passerby, repeating the process until a large crowd is collected. He rarely offers sticks or ball to the same per- son twice in succession, depending on his impartiality to keep the greatest number of people interested. The dog has perfected his act until he is able to catch a ball thrown to him from a distance of fifty feet or more and to snap fly balls without letting them touch the ground. JOHN McMULLEN DIES Famous Contractor Succumbs in Nor- walk, Conn.—Was Well Known in California—A Marine Expert. San Francisco, Aug. 30.—John Mec- Mullen, 73, known throughout the West as a contractor and corporation organizer, died at his home in Nor- walk, Conn., Sunday. McMullen came to California in 1876 and, with George W. Catt, husband of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the suf- fragist organized several corporations which figured prominently in the development of the west. His work extended also to the Gulf, the Philip- pines and the Atlantic coast. McMullen's corporations are credit- ed with having done most of the largest contracting work on the Phil- ippine Island water fronts and many San Francisco water front piers and Pearl Harbor drydock. their names should communicate by niail, or telephone to Henry W. Groth, of 10 Locust street as soon as pos- sible so the committee can provide for proper accommodations. Busses will leave the South church corner at 7:30 o'clock. LEWIS TURNED DOWN President Declines to Grant Request of Miners’ Head for Conference ‘With West Virginia Operators. Washington, Aug. 30.—President Harding has declined to accede to the request of John L. Lewis, presi- dent of the United Mine Workers of America, for a conference between miners and operators to thrash out the West Virginia coal troubles. While the text of the president's reply to Mr. Lewis was not made public at the White House it was said the president had informed Mr. Lewis that he saw no necessity for a onference inasmuch as special sen- 1te committee would meet at William- on, W. Va., on September 19, to hear further testimony. The White House said the text of the president’s let- ter might be given out by Mr. Lewis.
