Miss Lila Lee is a most able dispenser of cheer. Only a few sho't years ago she was a little tot ploying “Ring Around a Rosie.” in the streets of Union Hill, N. J. She was induced to enter vaudeville, and a little later was entered as a candidate for laurels in the silent drama, soon becoming a "movie” star. “Keep smiling” is the motto of this little film favorite.

Although Heitlopen light, otic of tin | famous landmarks of the Atjunth coast, has been badly undermined by the batterltig of the heavy seas and storm, it was said by shipping men at Wilmington, Del., to be in no immediate danger after a recent storm.

Harm i Palmer, chief keeper, and three assist j aids refused to leave the lighthouse.
