Peeress Resumes Film Work
Interrupted Two Years Ago
—
j LONDON, Apr. 17.—Lady Purnival,
whose peerage in her own right is
one of the oldest in existence, dat
ing back to 1295, decided recently
to take up her acting for the films
where she left off two years ago,
with a play never completed because
of mechanical difficulties.
Lady Furnival is the wife of Com
mander A. W. Agar, of the British
navy, who was awarded the Victoria
Cross for his attack on the Bolshe
vik warships at Kronstadt during the
Russian revolution. Lady Furnival
is fairly tall, has light brown hair
and features which managers con
! sider particularly adaptable for film
| work.
London Permits Driving
livestock Thru Streets
LONDON, Apr. 17.—The custom of
driving pigs, sheep and cattle thru
the streets, a practice begun centur
ies ago when London was but a
village, is still being carried on.
However, it is seldom that the pub
j lie genei-ally witnesses this sight
as the work is done during the early
hours of the morning.
A herd of cattle, delayed on its
w’ay to the market, got into a traf
fic jam recently in Holborn, one of
the city’s main thoroughfares, and
extra policemen had to be called to
assist the drivers' in their task of
getting the animals started again.
The present day city regulations pro
vide that live stock can be driven
thru the streets only between the
hours of midnight and five in the
morning.
The dance to be given tomorrow
night by the Jolly “3” at Odd Pel
lows hall promises to be the usual
peppy affair. Everyone is welcome,
If you can’t dance, come and look
on.

LONDON, Apr. 17.—Madame Tus
saud’s Wax Works are a smoking ruin
Fire of unknown origin gutted the
building containing the world famous
wax models, and the destruction was
completed when the roof caved in on
thousands of dollars’ worth of life-size
effigies at which millions of persons
have gazed.
Some of the models in the “chamber
of horrors,” situated in the basement,
may have escaped destruction. Most
of them, howeyer, are destroyed
together with precious costumes which
were replicas of . forgotten originals.
Many of the destroyed models were
of men and women long since dead
and whose likenesses*~-4n the act of
delivering famous speeches, or losing
their heads, or Commuting the foul
crimes that made them notorious,—
never can be replaced in detail.
Soldiers, internationally known crim
inals, famous fighters, famous cowards,
all were represented in Madame Tus

Soldiers Gives Warning
To Corrupt Portugal
—— \ !
LISBON, Apr. 17.—A frank letter
from a Portuguese army officer, writ
ten in reply to a general query as
to what the army would do in case
of a popular uprising, has focused
attention on a very serious situation.
The writer, Captain Jose de Barros
Norfolk, says the army, dying of
hunger, would remain inactive ex
cept in the face of national danger.
His letter in part follows:
“The soldiers are half starved and
the officers are poverty stricken un
der their gilt braid. The recom
pense to the army for putting down
strikes and rising and reducing the
turbulent classes to order, is the
misery in which officers and their
families live, and hunger among the
men. The indifference of the politi
cians will be rewarded by our folding
our arms in our barracks and let
ting people outside kill each other.
We are tired of so much talk, so
much moral misery, so much rob
bery and exploitation. The army has
three paths before it, and will short
ly have to choose the one to follow.
“First, to let itself die slowly of
hunger; second, to fold its arms in
the face of any revolution that does
not threaten the nation itself or the
republic; third, to drive out all poli
ticians, cleanse all the posts occu
pied now by thieves and traitors,
and hand the administration of the
state to Portuguese citizens who de
serve that name."
