COTTAGE LOVE ' NEST IS BUILT IN TREE TOPS Honeymoon Paradise Looks Over Brook and Is Full All Year. By United Preen HELLAM, Pa., May 11.—A cottage In the tree-tops, surrounded by a myriad of brilliant colored lights and overlooking a placid little brook —that Is the honeymoon ideal as conceived by Morgan Emig, a farmer near here. And the strange part of It all is that Emig has built this love nest for the benefit of others and it has already been used by honeymooners from all parts of the country. Situated among the branches of a huge buttonwood tree, the cottage is equipped as thoroughly as any of its size on tne ground, containing electric lights, dishes, stove for cooking, complete bedroom and living room suites and has porches on three sides. To approach the love nest, one must first enter Emig’s farm and traverse the quarter mile between the main highway and the cottage. Just About Perfection On arrival there is a flight of steps leading up the trunk of the tree to a height of about twenty-five feet, where they turn and lead out along a branch to a spot directly over the stream where the cottage is located. The cottage rests on beams supported by steel cables and was built about eight years ago. “I first got the idea when a bunch of kids wanted to build a treehouse and laid a platform in the branches. I then wondered why a substantial house could not be made there and started work. Each year I make improvements and added a little something to do, but now, in my estimation, it is about perfect,” Emig said, and he was not far wrong. Full Year Around The cottage is weatherproof and even has a back yard. Scattered about among the branches and amid the many-colored lights are chairs and benches for use in the summer as Emig says his house is occupied vitrually the year around. Aside from its use by honeymooners, Emig rents the cottage for card parties, dances and like social gatherings. A radio is provided with two loud speakers, one of the speakers being located in the cottage and the other in. the top of the tree.

DAVE SILVERMAN IS READY TO HELP Guest Conductor of Circle Theater Orchestra Finds Time to Hear Voices of Young Singers at Private Auditions. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN I just happened to meet Dave Silverman, guest conductor of the Circle Theater Orchestra, for the first time quite by accident. I had dropped into the Indiana Theater to make a short call on Ace Berry. When I arrived Berry and Silverman were talking to a young man.

Berry said, "we are just going to hear this young man sing.” And would I like to go along? Os course I said yes because I was interested in any conductor of an orchestra who would walk over from the Circle to have a private audition with a young singer. So we went up to the Indiana ballroom. First Silverman had the young man do the “me-me” thing in the lounge and then took the singer onto the stage in the ballroom proper. Silverman then sat down to the piano and began to play and the young man began to sing. Silverman had no music before him and neither did the singer. I was impressed with the kindly and most intelligent way that Silverman treated the young singer. There was no impatience on the part of the great conductor. He was there to find out if the man had a voice and how well trained it was. I do not know the verdict of Silverman on the lad’s voice but I know that it was good. This is just a little look behind scenes in the life of Silverman. It is most gratifying to discover a stranger in our city who finds time to aid local singers. Os course, Silverman is not really a stranger any more because his name is generally discussed when people talk on orchestral music in this city. Silverman is always gracious or at least I have found him so. He shares all the big ovations that he is getting at the Circle with members of his orchestra. He knows that it takes a conductor and musicians to make any ochestra a success and so he does not hog any applause, he always shares it. And so it is not surprising to find this conductor giving his time to young singers, some of whom he may use as soloists. But the big thing is that Silverman is not only building up or- j chestral appreciation in this city as a part of a movie program but he is helping young artists. And that is something very fine.

By NBA Service CONSTANTINOPLE, May 11.— Because they have had experience in unraveling silk skeins and talking themselves out of all sorts of tangles during their years of monarchistic seclusion, two women have been appointed traffic officers on this city’s busiest comers. They are dressed in short skirts and aviator’s helmets and, with a white glove on the right hand, are having very little trouble in handling traffic.

BASEBALL BUG BITESSOVIETS Public Likes the Sport; Even Women Play it. By United Press MOSCOW, May 11.—Baseball is among the American enthusiasms capturing the fancy of new Russia. Viewed by a large and loud crowd at the Physical Culture Institute here, a Russian team recently beat a team of Americans to the tune of 14 to 8, in indoor baseball. Even the Russian women like baseball. Tvro women’s baseball teams have been formed at the Physical Culture Institute. The men and women at this institute are preparing to teach physical culture in the Soviet schools. Their interest in the game therefore means that they will carry it to tens of thousands of boys and girls in the near future. The first game of baseball played in Moscow took place last year, outdoors. At that time unfortunately, a foul ball hit one of the spectators, who thereupon poured onto the field and nearly lynched the players. There was some agitation against the sport as dangerous for the onlookers. By now, however, the public is reconciled to the American import.
