NEW YORK-"Thank goodness,
leap year is coming"
So sighed Jolly Irene, who weighs
620 pounds, has biceps three times
as large as Jack Dempsey and who
would be a total loss in a modelling
contest.

that nobody loves a fat woman
and I'm love starved" she said.
Jolly Irene, whose other name is
Amanda Quinn, is Irish and looks 1t
with a colleen smile grown in New
Jersey and as infectious as the mos

She stands 5 feet II inches In her
No. 5 shoes and Is said to be the
largest mobile woman in the world.
Irene is a jolly conversationalist-
an interesting companion, and her
interviewer told her so.
Eyes, but would you marry me?'
she flung back.

THAT'S Just It," she said emphat-
ically, Everybody thinks I'm dandy
as a dainty juggernaut novelty-but
as a life mate I'm as useless to them
as an ordinary parlor chair Is to

Out for a Husband
A settee or divan large enough to
accommodate three persons and hav-
ing the tensile strength OF the Wool

Irene parks in comfort.

does have her moments. For in

Stated BY Sawyer

WASHINGTON, November 10
"a conspiracy to encompass my de-

subordination of perjury and sup
p1 ession of material facts and docu-

sweeping denial under oath of
chtt pes made by other witnesses re-
fleeing upon his honesty.
He said during his testimony that
President Harding did not call for
his resignation, as recently assert
I'd by DR.. Sawyer, but rather he
had rendered it, telling the late
pi esident he could not continue to
serve the bureau with Sawyer in
service.

BERLIN TOURIST TRAVEL
SHOWS MARKED DECREASE

BERLIN, Nov. 13. - (By As
ISOLATED Press Berlin attracted
$3.50 visitors during September,
snd of these 9, 354 were foreign
ers. America furnished 1875 of
these visitors, but showed a larger
number than any other foreign
country. Sweden was second with
944, Austria supplied $40 tourists
and Russia $50. There were only
112 from France and Belgium to-
gether.
These figures are the lowest
monthly record which has been re-
ported for several years, and they
spell disaster for hotelkeepers.
Many of the larger hotels now
have entire floors closed up, and
hotel employees are finding it dit
ficult to get positions.
The number of visitors to Berlin
in Augusta was 1920, which was
a great decline over August CT
last year. Increased railway fares
have undoubtedly done much to
discourage Germans from travel
ing Trains all seem to be crowd
ed, but the number of trains has
been greatly reduced.

PRINCESS MAUD BECOMES
LORD CARNEGIE"S BRIDE

LONDON, Nov. IS. - Princes
Maud, niece Of King George, was
married to Lord Carnegie this morn
ing in the Guards Chapel of the
Wellington Barracks, at which the
bridegroom is stationed as an Of
ficer of the kings guards. The
wedding which was celebrated in
the presence of the king and queen
other members of the royal fam
lily and a distinguished gathering
~ guests was the second royal
event of its kind in London this
month, following closely upon the
marriage of the kings cousin,
Lady Mountbatten, to the crown
prince of Sweden.
The streets leading to the chapel
were lined with people. The par
ents of the bridegroom, the Earl
and Countess of Southesk, stood in
side the altar rail with the mem
bers of the royal family during the
ceremony.
Lord Carnegie ranks as a com
moner, since his title is one cf
courtesy, owing to the fact that ne
is the heir of the Earl of South
esk. He is so years old and his
bride is of the same age. Her moth
er, the Princess Royal Louise, is
sister Of King George and the wild
low bf the Duke Of Fife.
