FLooD-LICHTING PLAN
PROPOSED FOR LONDON

LONDON, May 9.-F'iood.light-
ing of London from great towers
500 feet in height, in place OF the
existing system of individual light
ing, is suggested by a public body
of lighting engineers Just consti-
tuted here.
The theory is to flood the whole
Of the inner area of the city with
artificial light after nightfall by
powerful consultations of electric
lights fixed on high columns Of
steel placed at eight different
points.
1t is contended that this system
will save an enormous amount and
prevent the huge waste OF illuniina-
ton caused by the rays from small
individual lamps hitting the SIDES
of shops and houses before their
fullest power has been exhausted.

BALM
Government Worker Tells Of
Preparations She Made
for Wedding

Lillian Holiday, young and
pretty employee Of the Internal
Revenue, Bureau Of this city, has
been awarded $4,000 heart balm
in the Philadelphia courts from
Joseph E. Stackhouse. travelling
auditor, also employed by the
Government.
While Miss Holiday formerly
lived at 1918 Park road north
west, it was said last night she
had moved from that address
about three months ago and had
left no forwarding address.
Lingerie As Evidence.
A bundle Of love letters, a filmy
gown which she described as her
wedding dress. and lingerie which
she declared she had purchased in
anticipation of the promised nup-
tials were prominent factors in the
evidence upon which Miss Holiday
obtained satisfaction from the Phil
adelphia court.
Miss Holiday testified that she
met Stackhouse here about five
years ago. He made love to her,
she said, but at first did not men,
ton marriage. Later, she says, he
told her he was married and was
seeking a divorce, and asked her
to wed him when he obtained It,

quently in his Philadelphia home,
the last visit being made in Decem-
Der, 1921. She said as she was
boarding the train after one visit,
Mr.. Stackl1ouse was particularly
affectionate, and murmured, "It
won't be long now" as he helped
her abroad.
The next day she said she re-
ceiVed a long letter to the effect
that he had married Miss DOtt e.

house.

She testified that preparations for
her marriage prior to that time had
gone on apace. She said she had,
expended 800 in part payment for
a piano and had also purchased

Under questioning as to what she
meant by that, Miss Holiday
blushed and said: "Oh, underwear,
plainly speaking, teddies and such
things"
When the court declared it didn't
know what ''teddies" were, Miss
. Holiday explained smilingly that
they were underwear"
