Coventry, England, August II -
The ride Of Lady Godiva has been

Though ministers who had attack

spectacle failed even to bring q blush
to the faces OF innocents.
Coventry has been Lady Godiva-

The actress, who Is said to have

too true. After committing the de-
plorable crime he made his escape,
threatening the lives OF both the
husband and the wife. The young
