the great works of humanity which
have made her name famous. Her ex-
perience as a school teacher and the
organizer of public school systems in
New Jersey taught her methodical hab-

America in 1851 and Miss Barton was
its president from that date until 1891.

 MT. Potter was violently opposed to his wifes adoption of the stage as a profession, and the couple separated early in her career.

 Despite her American birth, Mrs. Potter became in her later years a loyal subject of the King of England, and gave her assistance to many pa. triotic projects. She was instrument tai in raising several thousand pounds for the aid of the British soldiers during the long war against the stub- born, liberty-ioving Boers of South Africa. She was also prominent on the committee of the Maine hospital ship presented by America to the Brit ish government.

 This policy of the Olympic commit tee should not be viewed in the light

 Gretna Green is little village ir

 worldwide fame for the celebration
 of irregular marriages until on the
 last day of the year 1856, an act went
 into effect declaring the Gretna Greer

WORLDS BOWLING RECORD
 BROKEN BY NEW HAVEN MAN

Paterson, N. J., March 29-By mak- ing the sensational score of 2,O31 in nine games Mortimer Lindsey of New Haven broke a worlds bowling rec. ord here last night. This is an aver age of 225-659.
 Lindsey's record beat the previous high score, 1,961, made by Thomas Haley, of Detroit, in 1910, at Detroit as we'll as the National Bowling as- sociation record of 1856, made by John J. Voorhis in Atlantic City in 1907 Lindsey and Charles Johnson, who with George Kelsey, rolled a world g record score of 1855 in the two men event at Buffalo last year, rolled 1,- 301 yesterday, going into first place in the two men games.
 Lindsey gave the greatest exhibition of individual pinning ever seen in a national tournament in the two men competition when he tallied the re- ing with PTS he knocked off 239 in his an average of 253 This is the great est average ever, put up for three game series in national tourna- ment.
 With an average of PAP for his first six games Lindsey did not shoot his usual game in the individual and fin lshed up with a total of 581 Last night he averaged 690 in the five men competition.

pic committee can be blamed. There
 is no doubt that De Mar has proved
 his class as one of the consistent mar
 athon pluggers in the past, but this
 year is the year to tell the tale, and
 the champion should be forced to show
 his stride this year. De Mar will no doubt be favored to win the Patriots day race again, and of course every localite will hope he will repeat.
 Taken in all in all. and the Olym- pie committee has made it plain, De
 Mar had better go into training and run in the coming Boston race, if he expects to go to Stockholm. It would be an injustice to send him across merely on his past record.

It was just quarter of century ago today that Mrs Cora Urquhart Potter abandoned theo career of a so- cial butterfly and, despite the tears and entreaties of her husband and family, made her theatrical debut. That was on March 29, 1887, and the Haymarket Theatre in London was the scene of the successful premiere of the former petted and wealthy so> ciety woman.
 The distinguished actress was born in New Orleans, where her father. Col. David Urquhart, was socially prominent. Her marriage to James Brown Potter, multi-millionaire mer- chant and banker of New York, was a great event, and Mrs. Potter immedi- "400' of the metropolis. As an anna teur actress and reciter she won wide acclaim in New York, Washington and other cities, and raised yearly $60,- 900 for various charities. She combin- ed natural histrionic ability with beauty, wealth, social position and an artistic taste in costumes, and these won for her immediate success in the ranks of the professionals.
 Her first role was that of Anne Syl- vester in Man and Wife," drama by Wilkie Collins, and she made a great hit with the public, the producer and the playwright. Her next appear ances were in Loyal Love" and "Civil War; at the London Gaiety Theatre
 Late in October of 1887 Mrs. Potter returned to America, appearing with the late Kyrle Rellew in "Faustine de Bressier.'

Church of England was used. During the latter period of Gretna Greens fame as a "get hitched quick center the ceremonies were performed by an official who was a blacksmith by trade The number of marriages celebrated at Gretna and other border villages long averaged 800 year.
 The United States has had many Gretna Greens, owing to the wide var. iation in the marriage laws of the different states. Hoboken, N. J., long had reputation equal to that of the Scottish town as resort for those who wished to be married in haste and with the least amount of public ity. Since the passage of a law re- quiring marriage licenses for cere>. monies performed in New Jersey, Ho- boken justices of the peace have been deprived of a considerable source of income. South Carolina is now per- haps the easiest State in which to get married, and it is also the only state in the Union which does not grant di- vOrceS for any cause whatsoever. One may marry in haste in South Caro- lina,, but it does no good to repent at leisure" The matrimonial motto of South Carolinaians is Grin and
