SHE SEEKS A DIVORCE
Has Not the Slightest Intention
Of Leaving ZiegfeId, She
Declares.

Boston, July 26.--Billie Burke, stage
star and wife of F'lorenz Ziesfeld, de-
clared yesterday in her most emphatic
manner that there was nothing in the
report that Marilynn Miller had
caused a Coldncss between herself and
her husband.
1T is absolutely untrue" she said.
There is no trouble OF any kind. Mr..
Ziesfeld is coming back to America,
but II is not because OF anything Miss
Miller may have said. have not the
slightest intention of leaving him"
Referring TO pointed remarks at
tributed 10 Miss Miller about alleged
attentions paid the sally" star by
Mr.. Ziegfeld. Miss Burke said:
Il don't know why Miss Miller
should say these things. I'm not pay
ing any attention 10 them, though. as
a matter OF fact. haven't been read
ing her statements in the papers, and
I'm not we'll posted on what she may
have been saying.
There is no personal feeling. be-
tween Miss Miller and myself as far as
know anything about IL. ! don't
even know her personally, and ! am
sure I've never done anything that
would cause her 10 say such things
about my husband. But / certainly
am not going to ask for a divorce. no
matter what the papers say"

Next week the summer session at
the University Of Delaware will come
to a close, after very successful
term. The faculty have been OF high
order and the personnel of the student
body was especially high in many
ways. Several new features were in
troduced this year. which went far to-
ward making the summer worth while
for the 39s students enrolled.
Among the new features was the
opening OF the swimming pool at the
university to women for the first time
in several years. Regular swimming
lessons are being given by Mrs. Kin
sler, of Wilmington. Between forty and
fifty young women are enrolled IN the
course.
New kinds OF work were taken up
along educational lines. The demon
stration school. under the direction Of
Miss Ophelia NJ Coffin, Of Middletown,
who is rural supervisor in Maryland,
was conducted in a slightly different
way from other years. The same pro-
gram was given each day, but the sub
| jects were taught at various periods
| so that the summer school pupils
might have a chance 10 observe all
classes.
Under the direction of the class in
educational measurements, the Thorn
dyke Mccall reading test was opened
TO the entire summer school. When the
results are in, they will be of particu-
lar interest as they will show how
Delaware teachers stand in compari-
son with teachers of other states and
how nearly they approach the stan
dard. II is a test of comprehension OF
the material read, and has the highest
correlation with intelligence of any
test that has yet been worked out.
! The social life at the summer school
this year has had several additions
The first formal dance ever given there
was held last Friday evening and was
attended by about so couples. Parties
at which games and dancing provided
the entertainment were given each
week in the gymnasium as heretofore
At one party stunts given by the rep
resentatves Of each hall were a fea-
ture. the cleverest stunt being a bur-
lesque of a day at summer school, with
amusing impersonations of all the
faculty.
Last Saturday a group of about
thirty pupils went by bus TO Valley
Forge. Miss Ina Barnes, Miss RUBY
Miller. and Miss Blanche People were
chaperons. Next week a party. Will be
given by the ehabilitation School and
the Summer School in cooperation.
A method of self expression for the
students came in recitations OF chill.
drens poetry and songs by the stu.
dents. Last week a delightful half hour
was devoted to readings OF child verse
by modern poets. This week reading.
of modern poems dealing with Life
and Love" will be given.

THROWING THE BUNK.

According to the very complete reports in the democratic
press the campaign has opened in Montana by the shining lights
Of democracy and as might be expected from that source it appears
that it will be a campaign of vilification and mud singing of the
good old time variety. 1t would have appeared more seemly on the
part Of Senator Walsh and much more in accordance with his high
official position had he, instead Of attempting to ridicue and crit
icse Congressman Riddck, made public a list of his own brilliant
achievements in Washington. The people of Montana if they are
expected to accept democracy would prefer to know just what the
democrats they have elected to office have done themselves. Sem
ator Walsh has the reputation of being an astnte politician and
we'll have to hand it to him on that score. His attitude two years
ago in the Montana campaign was quite consistent as a prelude to
travelling with Mr.. Wheeler in the present campaign. And speak
inc of records, we would like to know from anyone who has lis
tened to the public utterances of Mr.. Wheeler their opinion of him
as a constructive force in state or national affairs. What sort of
a democrat is a man who has publicly stated that he would run
on any ticket? Is he the kind of politician to represent the COM
monweath of Montana in the United States senate?
So far as we can see, the democrats are not even making
promises in the conduct of their campaign, which in a manner, is
a wise method. Campaign promises are the bunk at all times and
from all parties and are quite generally held as such. But in the
measure of performance we are quite willing to leave the records
for the voter to digest. We do not think Mr.. Riddick will lose out
in comparison with Nh. Wheeler in his public services.

THE HUNTING SEASON.

The sound of the gun is not heard this year IN the land ant
regardless of stringent laws there would be little difference any
way. AS a matter of fact, there seems to be little to shoot at as
all old timers agree that prairie chickens appear to be scarcer thar
out soaring up a single chicken and if any are by chance met with
they seem to travel sngly or in pairs at the most. Only a lew
years ago one could drive in most any direction from Belt at this
season of the year and find it not uncommon to flush a dozen or
two of coveys along the roadside in the space OF a few miles. The
inference would naturally occur that some one or many, are not
obeying the law, but we do not take that view Of it. Montana has
experienced several rather unusual seasons and it is more than
probable that this has more to do with the scarcity OF the prairie
chicken than the ravages of unlawful or unreasonable hunting.
Game birds and big game have many natural enemies aside
from man and the struggle for existence has always been keen,
and who knows but that epidemics of disease may have been a
large factor in their decrease? 1t is we'll known that animals and
birds are subject to many of the ills that afflct mankind and it is
not impossible that influenza has taken its toll from the animal
and bird kingdoms as well as from the human races.
Sportsmen are quite often inclined to insinuate that the
farmer boy has little respect for the law when he runs across a
covey of chickens while hunting the outlawed grounding, and the
farmer boy feels like retaiating by voicing his suspicious of the
city sportsman who takes his dog out for a training out OF season.
Undoubtedly both are wronged in most cases. The fact is that
extraordinary measures are necessary for the preservation of wild
birds and game of all kinds and even that will be unavaidng in
some instances. The passenger pigeon is extinct while men of little
more than middle age can recall their flights IN countless TnIHon5s
The American bison still lives in few isolated and protected herds
that the majority of Americans must travel thousands of miles
to view, while the writer has no difficulty in recalling several days
of strenuous labor in helping to fill the hold of a river boat from
a pile of buffalo" hides corded along the banks of the Yellow
stone, the result of a killing" estimated to be up in the hundreds
of thousands, the winter before. The passing of the bison is ac-I
counted for, but the disappearance of the passenger pigeon cannot
be wholly laid to the rapacity of man and is still a mystery that
given thought to the subject, and is most generally credited to
disease. So it is best, perhaps, to ascribe the scarcity OF game
birds to natural causes, and at the SANG time let the game wardensj
keep their eyes open.

GOOD OLD UNCLE SAM.

Blowing our own horn don't always make the most pleasing
harmony to the listeners, but when we have the papers to back us
up it can possibly be excused. We have just been reading some
figures regarding Uncle Sans philanthropic work in Russia and as
it covers a twenty million dollar charity very effectively admin
istered under most difficult conditions it possesses points of inter-
est to all of US.
Colonel Haskell is leaving Moscow, having fed some nine mil
hon Russians, who would have starved but for our American food,
carried to them in spite of wretched and disorganized transporta-
ton, through a country two-thirds as large as the United States.
There have been put in the reach of these sufferers zoo, 900 tons
of food for adults, 1900 tons of food for children, seed grain for
the next crops and $1,000, 900 worth of medical stores. That is
the largest program for relief of suffering that the world ever
saw. 1t has been carried out successfully because of the energy
and efficiency of the agents of American givers and through
American tact, which has been able to overcome the suspicion of
Russian Soviets and to secure the cooperation necessary to carry
this food to the hungry. Those are the very qualities needed to
straighten out the tange of European policies, which is holding
back not only Europe but ourselves and the whole world from
returning prosperity.
