DAN CUPID GETS
SOME HARD
BUMPS
Story of Ohio Girl Makes It
Appear That Romance
is Past.

NEW YORK, June lO.-Enter the
champion hard-luck drama!
First scenc-Alice Fenton, of Gin
cinnati. o., writes her name and adj
dress on a piece OF paper, puts II In
a bottle and throws II into the Ohio
river.
Second scene-Bottle travels u.s.
900 miles and is washed up on the
Santa Monica (Calif.) beach.
Third scen-William SymondB. OF
Omaha. Neb.. finds the bottle.
Fourth scene-Symonds sends the
slip Of paper back to Alice Fcnton.-
(CurCain.)
That's the whole of It-every
word. Not a bit Of love-makIng; not
n particle Of romance: no hint OF en-
gugement or marriage. Cupid may
make some center shots occasionally,
but he failed to ring the wedding bell
this time.
II Is a plnylet that would bore an
audience 10 stupefaction and petri-
faction. They could hardly be blamed

Yet the thing really happens. Press
dispatches have carried this story

travels and its finish. And here was
such a grand chance for the CORE
spondents TO make good. Alas, they
must have gone cuckoo!
OF course. Alice Fenton Is pretty
as a picture. Even as a magazine
cover! Or was Ave years ago when
she hurled that bottle into Ohio's tur-
gid waters. III girls who send their

and so highly accomplished that they
can wind the victrola with one hand.
Also Alice Fenton must be poor
but honest. the sole support Of an
aged mother and a brood Of younger
Fentons-the life and Joy OF the
nelghbOrhood. These things are un-
derstood and settled In advance.
II Is William Symonds who has
