The Silver Lake sea serpent hoax was
quite effective fifty years ago Silver
Lake was a new summer resort near Buff
falo, and its boomers conspired with a
genius who constructed monster or
light sheet metal In jointed sections, sur
mounted with a gigantic, hideous head the

on shore. This sea serpent-believed to
have been the conception of Hank FaXon. a
brilliant journalist-attracted, even from Eu-
rope. naturalists who through their glasses
eagerly viewed it from a safe distance. But
rust finally put the monster out of gear one
day Refusing to dive, it lay so helplessly
on the surface that 1t was supposed to be
dead. Then the more courageous of the
crowd at Silver Lake ventured near it in
boats. Discovering the hoax, they pounded
it with oars until it slowly sank into the
water while the Disguised naturalists were
making tracks for the railway station.

gle hero fund. the most remarkable
case that has been inyei tgated by the
commission was that of Rufus X.
Combs Of Midway, KY, who was
granted a silver medal and $500 In
cash by the commission recently.
Combs saved the life Of his bitter en-
emy and political rival. Richard God
son, a lawyer and inventor.
Godson had entered a vault to test
a gas making apparatus and was over
come BY the fumes.
Friends and relatives were afraid to
enter the vault. When he declared
his intention Of going In Combs was
pulled back and told that Godson was
dead. and that he would surely lose
his own life If he attempted to recover
the body.
There may be some life In him, |"
declared Combs as he pulled away and
entered the vault. He carried his en-
emy to the door of the vault and then
fell unconscious. Both men recov-
cred and are now the stanchest OF
friends.
Asked why he had risked his life
for his most bitter enemy. Combs re.
piled: Because love a fighter who
fights fair, and Godson always did
that at"-Exchange
