SUMMER TRAVEL

Despite the rumors of industrial
inactivity caused by labor and trans
portation troubles the railways are
said to be preparing to handle more
tourists this summer than ever be-
fore. To take care of their patrons
new services are announced and the
luxurious equipment piled up in the
yards during the period of govern
ment mismanagement is being put
back on the favorite tourists routes.
The national parks are to be open
with the usual hotel and t%ransporta-
ton accommodations and the railways
are expected to o excursion
rates in the near future. There is
more money in the country this
summer than last and if people wish
to spend it in travel they should be
encouraged to do so. Although hand
icapped for funds and equipment the
carriers are making a strenuous eff
fort to provide seats for all who
wish to see the wonders and beau

CHILD is KILLED
SEVEN FOOT FALL

SEVEN FOOI FALL
Dillon, July, 30.-Walter Zadra,
eight-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
August Zadra of this city, was in
stantly killed when he fell from the
top of a seven-foot signboard about
half a mile south of town and broke
his neck.
The child was playing with his
smaller brother at the time and is be-
lieved to have climbed up on the sign
board and was reaching for a wire that
was stretched about three feet higher
when he lost his balance and fell for
ward, striking his head on another
small sign at the foot of the large
one. Death must have been instan-
taneous.
His little brother ran to the Zadra
home "a short distance from the scene
of the accident, and notified his mother
who accompanied him back to the spot
and though physicians were at once
summoned from the city the grief
stricken parent was told that her sor
was beyond their help.
Mr.. Zadra, who was in Butte, wa
notified of the sad news and arrived
in Dillon in the afteronn by auto
mobile. The boy was the eldest of thu

ger brothers.

HEALTH CLOWN POPULAR
AT BOTTINEAU, N. d., FAIR

Ho-Co, of the Northern Divisions
has recently returned to Headquarters
famous Arc Health Clown Family,
famous Arc Health Clown Family
al Minneapolis after a two days at
tendance at the Bottineau County
Fair, at Bottineau, N. D., where he
entertained both children and adults,
and assisted in weighing and measur-
ing over 400 children in connection
with the children's clinic conducted
by the Woman's Club of Bottineau.
The fun began for the children with
the appearance o fthe clown. Up to
that time interest in the clinic had
rather languished, and only twenty
five or thirty somewhat reluctant
boys and girls had been lured by pa
rental persuasion or command into
the clinic tent. With the coming of
Ho-Co, the matter of being weighed
and measured assumed the aspect of
a novel and fascinating game, and a
crowd of laughing, shouting children
hustled after their funny new friend
as he led the way to scales and meas
uring stand. Whenever the supply of
boys and girls ran short at the clinic
tent, Ho-Co took a stroll about the
grounds, and from merry-goround
and booths collected a fresh swarm Of
children eager to follow him where
ever he might lead them.
The Health Clown performance be-
gan with a thirty-minute talk designed
particularly for the children although
in many cases the older people found
it as entertaining as the younger ones
In this talk, the clown, who is one
Of the "high-brow variety" and an
expert on child welfare and nutrition
mingled health rules and antics, his
object being to stimulate the child's
interest in correct personal hygiene
through an appeal to his sense Of play.
Thus he not only turned handsprings,
made funny noises, and did mysteri-
Gus tricks with red balls, but he also
told his ~intently interested audience
how teeth should be brushed, the i'm
portance of frequent bathing and
much sleep, and what vegetables will
serve best to make muscle and health
and happiness. The children respond
ed enthusiastically to all his sugges.
tions, and when he finished his talk
they flocked after him in clamorous
delight as he led the way to the clinic
tent. Here he kept them amused
with his antics while they waited their
turns on the scales.
Much interest in this method of
presenting health rules to the children
was expressed by the parents at Bot
tineau. DR.. Abrahamson and Miss
Naughton, the doctor and nurse who
that they thought the clown the best
were in charge of the clinic, stated
idea that had ever been conceived fer
attracting children to a clinic. The
feeling of many of those who wit.
messed the Health Clown performance
and it's eject upon the boys and girl.

DUCHESS GETS
A DIVORCE
On Allegations Of Deser-
ton and Misconduct By
Duke of Marlborough
------------
FORMER AMERICAN
WOMAN PETITIONER
Formal Denial of Charges
Was Made By the Dukes
Counsel

London, NOV. 9.-The duchess of
Marlborough. formerly Consuelo Van
derbilt, daughter of W. X. Vanderbilt,
to-day was awarded a decree of di.
vorce from the duke of Marlborough,
Allegations of desertion and miscon-
duct were made by the duchess through
counsel, she not being present. Formal
denial of the charges was made by
the dukes counsel. but no evidence was
taken. The duchess was also awarded
the costs of the action.
The charge of desertion was based
upon the dukes disobedience of the
order for the restitution of coningel
rights which the duchess obtained last
March.
The case lasted only . minutes. Sir
Edward Carson appeared for the Ouch
ess and Robert Bayford for the duke.
Only two witnesses were called-an
English detective who watched Blen-
helm palace, the dukes residence, and
Swallowed the duke and a companion
on n trip TO Paris, and a solicitors
clerk, who witnessed the service of the
court papers on the defendant.
Sir Edward Carson explained to the
court that the duchess was indisposed
and not in fit physical condition to
appear, I'VE were very anxious that
the duchess should be present" he
said. Justice H~orridge commended
this statement. saving: THE plain
tif's counsel is right in showing the
duchess is willing to appear the same
as anyone else.
The duke occupied a front seat in
the court room.
Evidence was given that the duke
had occupied a room in a prominent
hotel in Paris on Feb. 2s last with a
woman whom the detective described
as twenty four or twenty-five years
of age" The woman was not named.
Unless other proceedings are insti-
tuted by the duke the decree awarded
to-day automatically becomes absolute
at the end of six months.
