Mrs.
Henry
Luden,

They we're the jolliest, happiest young
sters imaginable. for Miss Cannon, al
though debutante and heiress tn large
fortune, dearly loved to go-well-almost
as fast as her devoted swain.
Why, there was the day when he and
Herman Oelrichs and Vincent Aston fore
gathered at Second Beach and raced their
cars at a speed that eventually set
Oelrichs's car afre. But even that grand
and glorious stunt did not satisfy.
In passing in this fifth year Of the war
Vincent Astor is lieutenant in the navy
somewhere in French waters, and Herman
Oelrichs is nifty young ensign on board
destroyer somewhere in the North Sea.
And Lieutenant Warren is headed toward
matrimony with girl WHOSE idea of speed
is represented by the army mules that
carry her to her war duties every day..
But before this romance was consum-
mated an extraordinary transformation
took place in George Henry, Jr. He
changed from the dashing speed king,
whose whole thought centred on having
a blazing good time with the Newport set,
into a serious-minded American patriot
whose, sole idea was to help win the war.
The change, after all, was not a sudden
one, and to understand it thoroughly one
must bark back like society to his earlier
days, and We must also dip into family
history.
George Henry Warren the first had seven
children, among them being Lloyd, Whit
ney and George Henry second. as well as
Mrs. Goelet and Mrs. William Starr Miller
This group OF exclusives, being worth in
Vulnerable millions, became the backbone
Of the Newport colony, and their children
we're born TO the same high privilege.
George Henry second married Miss
Georgia Williams and eventually had two
children-Constance, who is now the
Countess de Lasteyrie, and George Henry,
Jr. Naturally these two offspring carried
on socially just as effectively as their
parents and uncles and aunts
Miss Constance, being two years older
took a conspicuous place in Newport and
New York before George Henry. and by
the time he entered fully upon the scene
society was exhausted by its amazemeBt
Miss Constance, you see, was excessively
athletic, and for several years did her very
best to Guido Miss Bobby Sears as
circus sumter. While brother George was
preparing for college she was keeping up
with Miss Sears in every form of athletic
endeaYOr
When Miss Sears played polo Miss War
rem played also: when Miss Sears walked
twenty miles in six hours Miss Warren.
walked thirty miles in four hours
When Miss Sears's swimming ability
won her place on the front page of the
New York and Boston newspapers Miss
Connie" outraged her parents and tickled
brother George by swimming from Bailey's
Beach to the Forty Steps. And so on.

Worker Who Will Become Mrs. George Henry Warren.

suit for divorce, ard that kept society busy
for some time.
Then the great war broke out, and 1t
so happened that George Henry, Jr., was
in France and saw the havoc and devasta-
ton wrought by the Germns. He came
back in a most thoughtful and sober frame
Of mind, and from the moment Of his ar
rival in New York preached the gospel Of
preparedness.
The same youthful enthusiasm that sent
him speeding along Viewpoints streets at
sixty miles an hour fired him in his cru
SADIE. He was always the first to help
in any relief work for the Allies, and he
was also one of the first of the young
Americans to enlist in France as an am
bulance driver
All thoughts Of joy-riding and love-mak-
ing went out of his head, but his dare
devil GOODNESS that had made him the ter
ror of Newport now made him one of the
cracker-jack drivers of the American Am
bulance.
In September, 1916, while Warren was
endangering his life every hour Of the day
and night. Mrs. Frelinghuysen. back home
in Tuxedo Park, announced the engage
ment Of her older daughter to Mr. Luden,
the Dutch banker. Mr. Luden's sisters
by the way. are the Countess van Lemberg
stirnum and Madame van Loan. lady-in-
waiting TO the Queen of Holland.
A few months later the United States
entered the war and Mr.. Warren came
home and joined the army, being placed
in the One Hundred and Sixty-fifth In
fantry Regiment.
While he was in training Lieutenant
Warren was noticed by his superior off,
GERS as the most studious and seriously
inclined Of all the younger officers. When
called upon to drive a motor car he would
go at a snail's pace and seemed actually
afraid to travel faster than ten miles an
hour.

maEce Within ten days of their wedding
Mrs Prince was living by herself in
small, exclusive hotel near the Champs
Elysees and Prince was on his way back
to America.
On his arrival he went directly to his
wife's family and on the very next steamer
Elizabeth Adelaide sailed to join her SIS
ter. On the voyage over Miss Cannon
met a young banker from Holland-Henri
Luden, millionaire and owner of the
largest shooting estate in Holland. He
was an exceedingly serious and public
spirited young man, and as Miss Cannon
was in dire distress, she found him very
cOngenial.
Arriving in France, Miss Cannon found
the whole Warren family lined up to meet
her and to help her in her trouble. She
spent several weeks in Paris before her
sister could be persuaded to return to
New York. And in all this time young
Warren was a great help to her.
Finally the bride and her devoted sister
came home, and a great change was i'm
mediately apparent in the latter. She was
very thoughtful and subdued. and her love
affair with Warren ceased with great sud-
denness There was comparatively little
gossip about this, as Mrs. Prince entered

Red Gross Worker


like in a way compared with what came
later. Brother George came home with
a new motorcycle warranted to go one
hundred miles an hour. Up to this time
Miss Warren had been content to drive
IadyIike electric .phaeton, but when she
saw Georges cycle the spirit Of speed
arose within her and one morning. at the
height of the smart parade on Bellevue
avenue, Miss Warren came speeding down
the roadway, with George doing his best
to catch her on his old cycle.
From that time speed became Miss War
rens mania, and all Of a sudden George de-
Veloped the same trait. When Constance
was hailed into court for speeding on
Themes street George got himself arrested
for the same cause, and so on. When
Constance married Count de Lasteyrie
George Warren was knee deep in an at
fair with Mildred Rives, daughter of the
late George Lockhart Rives. Father Rives
objected to Georges speed mania and
broke up what promised to be a successful
co1rtship
Then Kate Willis appeared as favorite.
but only temporarily, for out of clear
sky Miss Elizabeth Adelaide Cannon ar
rived i'm Newport to spend her debutante
Summer Miss Cannon was a rare beauty,
having inherited her mothers lovely color
ing, and George Henry Immediately fell
victim to her charms.
1t seemed highly suitable match; there
was great wealth and excellent family on
both sides and beauty on the side that
most counted. Then, too, the young people
had many tastes in common. When George
Henry pulled his li'l' OIL car down to fifty
miles an hour Miss Cannon would sigh
and murmur, as the gas running low
Froggie?"
Yes. George Henry's pet name was
"Frogge" but how he won it no one ever
seemed to know
When asked so leading a question
"Froggie" would put on more gas and
then some. Was it any wonder that he
became known to every policeman and
constable within a hundred miles of New
port?
Then there we're other things this young
pair liked TO do. There was dancing, for
example. At one party given by Mrs. Hope
Slater at Hopedene, on the Cliffs. Miss
Cannon and George Henry outdanced all
corners, going at such a speed that Mrs.
Slater finally had to stop the music.
They also liked all other sports-tennis,
polo. swimming and football. In every
respect they seemed cut out for each other,
and when their engagement was reported
and not denied, and Elizabeth Adelaide
went around with wonderful diamond
blazing on her engagement finger, society
nodded approViuGly and looked for an i'm
mediate marriage.
Then another member of the Cannon fam
lily leaped into the limelight Marian. the
younger sister, married John Dyneley
Prince, a son of Professor John Dyneley
Prince, of Columbia College The young
people had not known each other very
long. Miss Cannon was just a debutante,
and the engagement was very short.
On her wedding day the bride received
her share of her fathers fortune, and the
bride and bridegroom sailed for Paris.
On their arrival in Paris something hap

ShepherdstOwn Motor Vehicle Law.

We have been more than fortunate
here in ShepherdStown. There has been
no accident, yet automobile owners have
operated their machines at a greater
rate of speed than is allowed by the law.
Acting upon the theory that an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound Of cure
and that it is too late to lock the stable
after the horse is stolen, the following
ordinance will be Strictly enforced:
Amendment to Section 20, Chapter 8.
No person shall operate a motor
vehicle on any street, alley or public
square within the limits of this corpora
ton, at rate of speed greater than is
reasonable and proper, having regards
to the traffic and use of said street and
alley, so as not to endanger the life or
limb of any person or the safety of any
property, or in any event on any street,
alley or public square at a greater rate
Of speed than twelve miles an hour /;
and any person operating motor
vehicle shall give warning by suitable
bell, horn or other signal on approach
ing any crossing; and automobiles shall
have during the period from sunset to
sunrise, two lamps showing white lights
III ITOHt, ana a req UPnt III the rear,
and at all times shall have license num-
Der on both front and rear, and motor
cycles shall have during the said hours
a white light in front and a red light in
the rear. Any person operating a motor
vehicle within the limits Of the corpora
ton, shall at all times have it under
control and use every reasonable pre-
caution to insure the safety of persons
and property. The use of cutouts on
motor vehicles is absolutely prohibited.
For the purpose of this ordinance.
the word motor vehicle shall include all
vehicles propelled by any other than
muscular power, excepting such vehicles
as run exclusively upon rails or tracks.
Any person violating any Of the
provisions of this section shall be fined
not less than $1,000 nor more than $50
90 for the first offense, and for the Sec
ond offenSe, not less than $500 nor
more than $4,000, or imprisonment
for not exceeding thirty days, or both,

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inhamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inHamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. Unless the Inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
thru the blood on the mucous surfaces
of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrh Deafness that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Med

BY UNANIMOUS agreement the United
States Senate is under obligation to
take up the war prohibition measure
Immediately after Congress convenes
next Monday. We hope that this
measure may not be again side-track-
ed without making it plain who is re-
sponsible therefor. There is a MAORI
~ on both branches of Congress for Its
enactment and the people of the coun-
trv are overwhelmingly in favor OF it.
Il is outrageous that the booze inter-
ests should delay and defeat the meas
ure, and thus permit the continued mis-
use of grain and sugar and coal that
are so greatly needed both here and
abroad.

ing pungent paragraphs on this subject:
The national amendment will be
ratified before the 1st of April, 1919
this is as sure as any future event can
be and twelve months after ratifca-
ton by the 36th State the nation will
be dry. But We need war prohibition
in the meantime. The brewers are US
ing something like one hundred mil
lion dollars worth OF foodstuffs year
we can not spare bushel OF grain.
They are using some six million tons Of
coal-we can not spare ton Of coal.
They are sapping the strength OF our
producers of food, fuel and munitions
we need one hundred per cent men
At home as well as upon the battlefield.
We are fighting the most militant
power the world has known, and can
pot afford to allow men engaged in the
wicked business of selling alcoholic
poison to delay victory by impairing the
Efficiency of those who work or fight.
We must win the war, and win it at
he earliest possible moment. Nothing
will contribute more to this end than
ne prohibition of the manufacture and
rsale of intoxicating liquor. The SOL
iiers are Offering their lives-the peo-
