 T didn't believe a paint was made that would withstand sulphuric acid Mir Thornberg said after the test. II have seen the surfaces of many paints curl up under an acid test.

AMERICANS TO
LOSE OUT AT
COURT

There will be disappointment in
the hearts Of expectant American
dehutantes and some of their elders
as well who are in London await
ing the opening of the social season,
as the chances are slim that many
Americans will be presented at
court this year.
Because OF the unusual number
of visitors from the British domin-
ions to the British empire exhibit
ton at Wembley, who desire this
honor, the Lord Chamberlain has
had to inform the foreign embassies
that their annual quotas have been
considerably lessened, even though
their majesties have ordered four
courts to be held instead of the
usual two.
The American embassy usually Is
fortunate in presenting the largest
number at court each year. Mrs.
George Harvey escorted some fifty
Americans into the presence of
their majesties last year, but this
year Mrs. Frank B. Kellogg will
make only forty presentations,
many of them of the necessary
diplomatic tenor. Nevertheless,
Ambassador Kellogg has been
flooded with requests for court
appearances and is confronted with
the unpleasant task Of selecting a
meager dozen or so to be granted.
This week Ambassador and Mrs.
Kellogg are entertaining for the
new American Ambassador to Bel
GUM and Mrs. William P.bllips
and the new American Minister to
Greece and Mrs. Irwin B. Laugh
lin.
The diplomats arrived in Eng
land Friday aboard the Leviathan.
They were met in Southampton by
members Of the embassy staff. Both
have many friends in London,
where. they have been attached to
the embassy in former years.
