Duchess of Norfolk Has
Sold Amberley Castle,
In Which "Ghosts Roam

LONDON, Oct. 25 P. - Amberley
castle, in Sussex, one of the few re-
manning corners of mediaeval England.
in the ruins of which for centuries
ghosts have been reported to prowl
about on stormy nights, has been sold
by the Duchess of Norfolk, who has
made up her mind to get rid Of the
eerie thing, on her estate of some
$4,000 acres.
Arundel castle, the wonderful Sus-
sex home of the 17year-old Duke of
Norfolk-the premier duke and her
editary earl marshal and chief butler
of England-was closed a year or so
ago, not account of ghosts, however,
but on the score of expense. The Nor
folk estate now has only three castles
remaining, all of which are said to be
free of ghosts.
The purchaser of the haunted castle,
the original walls of which are mostly
in ruins, is Mrs. Mary Emmett, daugh-
ter of Sir Rennell Rodd, who has a
love of ancient architecture. Mrs,
Emmett plans to restore a nook of the
castle as a home, as she is non
believer in ghosts and has confided to
friends that she got the "ancient pile
of ruins at bargain rates"

United Lutheran Church
In America Fails to Act
On Question Of Divorce

RICHMOND Va, Oct. 25 B.-The
fifth biennial convention of the United
Luthern church in America failed to-
day to make official pronouncement
on the question of divorce and remar-
riage.
The subject was brought before the
convention in the report of it's COM
mittee on moral and social welfare,
which recommended that the church
go on record as opposing the remar-
riage by Luthern ministers of ANY
divorced person unless it be the inno-
cent party of the divorce which has
been granted on grounds that are
scriptural and in harmony with the
pastoric practices of the church"
The resolution further declared that
"the only valid reasons for divorce are
adultery and desertion."
Debate on the proposal brought out
a wide difference of opinion and the
resolution finally was referred to the
commission of adjudication.

Experiments in Chemical
Production of Petroleum
Will Be Made by A. P. |.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25 Pl.-The most
thorough experiments ever conducted
to produce petroleum chemically will
be made shortly under an endowment
established by John d. Rockefeller and
now amounting to half million dol
lars, the American Petroleum institute
announced today.
The experiments will consist of re-
producing as nearly as possible the
geological conditions believed respon-
sible for the production of petroleum.
Petroleum, in the belief of; most
biologists, the institute says, is pro-
duced by geologic forces acting
through long periods on the debris Of
buried aquatic organisms.
The proposed plan is based on this
assumption and by the use of great
pressures and varying temperatures
the scientists hope to hasten the nat
ural process brought about by rock
pressure and the changing earth tenn
peratures. Experiments of similar
nature have been made in the past, 1t
is announced but the institute plans 70
make the proposed experiments more
complete.
