INCREASE FROM their"

PHILADELPHIA, July 25.-Mrs
Ruth A. Delano, Of this city, is
suing her husband, Oscar l.. De-
lano, aviator and son of the late
Stafford S. Delano, treasurer of the
American Car and Foundry Com
pany, who met death several years
ago in a crossing accident, for an
increase of her alimony from $4,000
year to $4,000.
She contends that at the time OF
her separation action a year ago
she was unaware that her husband
was the prospective heir to a 3d..
100000 estate. She also charged
that he was living a life Of gay
festivity at his $4,000 country
estate near Stamford, Conn.
In opposing the demand, her
husband said that his total income,
including that from his fathers
estate and his salary as sales mani
ager of the Stamard Steel Forgings
Company, is approximately $4,000.

topic of conversation in the Ger
man capital.
The interview was published
simultaneously in other parts of
Germany and in the Scandinavian
newspapers served by international
News Service.
Hot comebacks are expected from
the Socialists, who fear anything
that is said or written Of the ex-
Kaiser, which does not condemn
him as likely to reawaken sympathy
for him.
CuFiously enough, the interview
finds an extremely unsympathetic
echo in monarchist circles as we'll.
In fact. nothing has SO clearly
shown how utterly through" with
the former kaiser the rank and file
of the monarchists are. although
they still cling ardently to the
monarchial idea.

ATTACKS INCREASE.
New Efforts to Cripple Dry Armada
Reported.

BY the Associated Press.
Coast Guard officials turned yester-
day to a consideration of ways and
means of further expanding their
program designed to compel the rum
row bootlegger to quit in disgust.
While confidential reports to Guard
headquarters continued to disclose
evidence of vandalism, attacks,
threats and attempts to bribe Guards
men and destroy Guard property,
Rear Admiral Billiard, Coast Guard
commandant, was in constant touch
with his advisers and subordinates in
mapping out plans to outguess the
emugglerS and their agents.
Officials do not care to disclose at
this time the nature of the expansion
TO be attempted. 1t was indicated,
however, that the program includes
the use at an early date of some of
the new 100-foot steel patrol boats,
contracts for which were let during
the Winter. None is ready for serv-
ice yet, but it is likely that some of
them will be available within a short
time.
It was disclosed also during the
day that Admiral Billiard had re-

By Simple Ruse

Rob Roy, the White House collie,

afternoon. That, of course, is ac-
cording to the viewpoint of Paul
Pry, the White House airedale.
Some of the White House attaches
are also understood to side with
Paul, but that's beside the point
the point being that Rob Roy
pulled a new one yesterday and
today is listed among those present
on the Mayfiower, which is taking
the President and his guests on
their weekly cruise down the
Potomac.
Just as the President and Mrs.
Coolidge were stepping into the

afternoon Rob Roy trotted out to
the car, placed his forefeet on the
running board and looked into Mrs.
Coolidge's face as only a dog which
is being left behind can look.
Mrs. Coolidge leaned out and
patted Rob Roy and Rob Roy (the
sly dog) let out a pitiful and long

Record When Timer Delays Report

somebody woke up to the fact that
the official observer of the PN.9

hours and Sc minutes a week ago

report to the National Aeronautic
Association here. Under the rules,
the official observer must turn in
his report within seven days after
the event, or the record goes by
the boards.
l.. M. Woolsen, chief research
engineer of the Packard Motor Co.

propelled the PN-9. was the official
observer. Through a misunder-
standing, he had failed to turn the
