Dee. 18.-ftJ.R)-The wandering minstrels and singers here, who have been banned from the streets because they block traffic, may be given the freedom of the thoroughfares again in an effort to drive away gloom and depression. Oscar Dufrenne. Municipal Councillor and noted impresario, has appointed himself to defend the interests of the street performers. He already has taken the matter up with Prefect of Police Jean Chiappe, and if results are not fprtttcoming, he will have the subject thrashed out at a meeting of the Municipal Count"The principal reason for my request is a psychological one," M. Dufrenne said. “I believe that at the present time we must not discourage my attempt to spread optimism and good humor and the joy of living. The mere presence of these singers of ancient ballads and Jingles in the streets will, of course not bring back the days of plenty.

Fifteen- Year-Old Bride Star of Real Romance *** * * * Love Story of Beatrice Barclay Pickerel!, Runaway Heiress, Rivals Anything Inside the Pages of a Novel. I HL *' \i i- f - ft V ' >BB ’ "'ll®!

Pickerell, retired vicepresident of the Western Union Telegraph Company and reputed millionaire, of Montclair, N. J., recalls the romance and elopement of the young girl who became a bride at the age when most girls are reading Hans Anderson. Rescued from drowning last Summer by Bevis Pickerell, young Montclair truckman, Beatrice promptly fell in love with her savior, and he with her. The young man became a frequent visitor at the Barclay mansion until the young woman's parents found that the couple was seriously intending marriage. Then he was forbidden to see his sweetie again. But family objections only made the lovers more determined and they finally eloped and were married in Roseland, N. J. Beatrice returned home, intending to keep her marriage secret, but her mother found her wedding ring and the young with her husband to Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., where they lived happily until tracked down by the girl’s irate parents. The bride was brought back home and confined in the Barclay mansion until she made her sensational escape the other day, with the aid of a bed sheet rope. She is now in hiding with friends and her husband is in the hands of the police on charges made by his involuntary father-in-law. Pickerell intends to fight the annulment proceedings instituted by the Barclays, refusing to give up his bride unless she, herself wishes it.

Montclair, N. J.. —Tne romance behind the recent flixht of 15-year old Beatrice Ba.clay Pickerel! fnui her home in Montclair N.J. might well seive as th? theme of an epic poem to rival that of the celebrated Y ung Lochinvar in Sir Waited Scott's All the ingredients for a fictional romance are present—the young and beautiful heroine, the han.i---s nme hero, a thrilling rescue, an elopement, pursuit by irate parents of the gi.l, resulting in the. tearful arting of the lovers and the happy climax when the. young bride escapes from parental bondage to retain her true love. As in most of the romances of fict!on, the love story of Beatrice Baray bo an when she was rescued i'r ni drowning last. Summer by Bevis Pickerell, a handsome young t.uckman, who looks more like a movie star. Th ugh her rescuer is 14 years her senior, the father of a child by a previous marriage '. atrice was in love with him from the sioment he dragg d her out of '.>e mouth of the watPiy grave that was greedily yawnin..’, .or her. The nltrac'ion was mutual and 'Bevis, as was only natural call -d frequently at "ii’ Barclay home to inquire at'lr rile hellth . f the young girl. All went well for a ti ne.

Levis was no longer made welcome to the Barclay mansion. In fact the do a’ was closed to him. As th father of the girl iohn' i’. I.’arclav, is a reputed millionaire, former vice-president of .11?

HUGE SOVIET UNION DREAM OF JOURNALIST Russian Editor Says It Will Embrace Asia And Europe — Moscow, Dee. I j.—(|J.R) A Soviet [Union embracing all of Asia and most of Europe, in the next Irt [ years, is promised by Karl Radek, I the most eminent Soviet journalist i and ona of the editors of the official mouthpiece. Izvestia. Radek was asked what the next lew decades hold for the proletariat. His answer, in a playful vein, I but with an undertone of serious- | ness, took the form of a “promisI sory note." widely published here. The note reads: “I am convinced that, not in decjades, but in the next 10 years, there will be a general Soviet Union from the Pacific Odean to the Rhine including the Balkans. And this means that at least 400,000,000 people will have reconstructed huge industry and socialist economy. The people will be shod, clothed and ... no fools! The rest will come. Switzerland will become ti lovely resort, which will be under the auspices of the International Proletarian Resort Commissariat. And the question will arise: Is capitalism possible in one country? All this is a pessimistic •estimate, merely a minimal program.” Radek adds the following postscript: “1 undertake to pay this note not later than the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Soviet revolution. IIfI am dead—my daughter will i pay.” Communist spokesmen, heartened by the economic difficulties in the outside world, have in general become bolder in promising their Russian population revolutions in [capitalist countries. Every one of |the tens of thousands of speeches [which marked the rpcent fourteenth [birthday of the Bolshevik regime referred to the alleged rising of Communism abroad. The official organ of the Communist party, Pravda, in an editorial on the day after the anniversi ary holidays, gave eloquent voice to this re-enforced conviction of

impending revolutionary outbursts I in the bourgeois world. Q Witnesses To Be Sworn In After London Style Windsor, Ont.—(UP) —Witnesses | in Borde;- Cities courts in the full ure will swear themselves in, following the London, Eng., practice. The order for the change was 'ssued by William H. Price, attorney general of Ontario. Instead of the clerk of the court, or the magistrate swearing the witness as in the vast, the witness will hold the Bible in the right hand and read the oath from a rzintsd ca il. In cases where the witnesses cannot read English, the old practice wilt be followed. POLICE DOG’S ORIGIN REVEALED Kansas City. Mo., — (UP) —The I Geripan p lice dog. more correctly I the German shepherd, did not originate from a cross between a wolf and /the old-time shepherd, as is popularly supposed, according . to John H. Hodes. Jr., widely known I Kansas City breeder. “There have been instances in I which one was mated with a wolf,” Hodes said, “but the present day shepherds do not list wolf blood in [th eir ancestry. The shepherd Is [ I the oldest known breed. In its pre-1 I sent state of development it is the l most perfect of all the canine fa-, inily. v “His erect ears give him perfect I - hearing his long broad nose gives [ him a highly developed scent and | breathing facilities, his large eyes give him fine vision, his strong teeth and jaws make him a fearful foe, and his head is to:med to give him plenty of brain capacity.” Hodes said shepherd dogs were ■ first introduced in the United States by Otto Gross in 1912. Several years later the name "police dogs” caught the public fancy, and from this start spread to popularity. o Pennsylvanians Eat 280 Eggs Harrisburg.

“I Never Read The Advertisements” A YOU know this person. He thinks he is telling the truth. But quiz him and he will recite the make of his motor-car, his hat. his shirt, his suit, his shoes, his tooth-paste, his towels, ad infinitum . . . with the accent on the “ad.” In other words, they are all advertised products. Why, he cou.d no more escape the presence and the power of the printed word than he could evade eating or sleeping. The advertisements are a definite part of contemporary American life. Their messages are vital to daily existence. They have a definite association with the pocketbook, than which there is nothing more intimate and personal. The important thing is not merely to “read the advertisements,” but td read all of them. The one advertisement you “didn’t see” may contain information you would have given a great deal to possess. Certainly, it is as important to you to know that Smiths are having a sale of sheets or shirts, as to read that.
