 Tied Up

London, March 12-It developed at todays hearing of the Dennis toun case that Mrs. Ivan Onslow Dennistoun, even If she should win her suit against her former husband, Lieutenant Colonel Dennistoun, for money which she alleges she loaned him before they were divorced, could not get hold of any money which Lady Carnarvon settled upon Lieutenant Colonel Dennistoun when they were married.

 Mr. Fyzer declared that although Lady Carnarvon had set aside 10o,- GOO pounds when she married Col onel Dennistoun after his divorce in 1921, this sum was settled "on both as little nest-cgg upon which they could always rely" The cross-exam- ination was replete with references to Lady Carnarvons wealth, which the witness admitted vas of great extent

Certain Days May Be Set Aside
 for Boys and Girls

Work has been started on pre- liminary operations for the new municipal swimming pool in Willow Brook park and it is hoped 10 have the place ready for use In July.
 Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa, who was the prime mover in the drive to establish a pool, has been doing much Investigating into the conduct of swimming pools elsewhere and has has made a number of recom- mendations to the committee in charge, one of which would restrict it to boys on certain days and to girls on other days
 Filtration. 1t has been decided, will be amply provided for in the excellent flow of water found all year around at the pool site, and the natural sandy base will assure sanitation, the park commission feels.
 Promise has been made by the school committee that two portable schoohouses no longer in use will be made available for bathhouses and only small amount of altera- ton will be required to fit them out for this purpose.
 The Lighthouses will be so modelled that showers will be required of all bathers since egress from the houses will be open to bathers only by way of a platform on which there will be a continual shower spray, mak- ing it impossible for a bather to get into the pool without a shower.

 Captain Burgess said in his mes sage that the shipwrccked men had been taken off the ice hy sundown. He asked that arrangements be made with the owners of the other vessels Of the fleet 10 distribute the crew of the Stella Maris among the seven ships as the Prospero Is now oyercrowded and lacks provisions for S3 additional men.
