What was probably the largest ag-
g%regation OF rubes, hicks, hIysSeds
and clowns ever gathered tosetner

IN response 20 Miss Marcia Clint's
invitation TO a barn dance nonoring
Mrs. n. r. Rathjen. Her announce
ment brought approximately $50
swarming IN to JON the reNelry.
On reaching the steps, however,
many paused in momentary conster-
nation. For there stood a morse, and
there stood the hostess. tirmly in
sisting that the horse must be kissed
before admittanee could be gained.
This provoked much meirIment, es-
p~ecially among those vh no had al
ready passed the test dnd attained
the inner portals. AM the horse
resented the familiarity.
After saluting the equine with the
requisite display OF ardcr. the farm
banda, the hired help. Sallie Jane

ed to enter, where they found the
interior transformed 10 a setting
appropriate TO their ywn appear

walls along the wall. supplied a rural
note. a. we'll as being comfortable
seats for those who wcaricd q
dancing. while punches Of feterita
backing the bales Of hay, and cover
ing the mantel completed the ei-

Many ingenious costumes, highly
worthy of comment, appeared.
Among them vas an impressive
town marshal, very dlgnitied IN d
tail coat and enormous star. Mar
garet West represented at least two
styles Of the nineties quite con-
sp,cuously in puffed sleeves, pig
tails. and high laced shoe with &C.
centric toes. while a pair 81 red-and-
white checked gingham overalls
made themselves distinctly heard
throughout the evening, and other
sart0rial spasms, too numerous 70

appearance.

Pliers Encounter Polar Bears On
 Hunt for Mobile
International Illustrated News,

KINGS BAY, June 22-An encounter with polar bears was one of the most dramatic moments in the reconnais- sance by Lieut.. Luetzow Holm, who spent five days away from his base ship Hobby seeking the Italia.
 Details of the adventure were brought to Kings Bay by the ice breaker, Braganza, which put in here for further provisions.
 When Lieutenant Holm and his companion, Pilot Myre, were forced to land at Bran dy Bay because of fog, polar bears made their appearance while the pilots were in their sleeping bags. The bears dis played great curiosity about the plane, approached 1t where it rested on the ice edge and nosed all over it.

SEP ARATION OF CHURCH, STATE
 LOOMS, BRITAIN
Second Rejection of Re
 vised Book of Prayer May Start Something

LONDON. June 92= a,ses House of Commons has dealt al death blow to the second revision of the book of common prayer. Various results were predicted in debate and by newspaper commentators. These included:
 Eventual isestablishment of the state church, the resignation of the archbishop of Canterbury lessening of the authority of the bishops.
 The vote was 220 for and 266 against. This showed a majority of forty-six against the measure, as compared with thirty-three last December. Since then the book had been further changed in the hope of reconciling the discordant clements, but without success. The increase of the majority was attributed to the votes of mem bers who had refrained from go- ing on record last December.
 The split came mainly on the question of reservation of the sacrament. Opponents of revi- sion said this would lead inevit- ably to adoration of the conse- crated elements and thus give entrance to the Roman Catholic doctrine of trans-substantiation Advocates of the revision denied this and emphasized that the res ervation of the consecrated bread and wine would be permitted for the benefit of the sick and the dying.
 Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, warned the house that rejection of the book would bring disestablishment of the church nearer. He said tnas if the church was refused the spiritual relief it sought sever ance would undoubtedly follow. Newspapers commented that the rejection might hasten the resig- nation of the archbishop of Can terbury. This has long been fore cast. He has been archbishop for twenty-five years and is 80 years old. His health has never been robust and it has suffered through the controversy over revision. which he supported.
 Premier Baldwin said rejection would weaken the hands of all those in authority in the church for a long time to come and would give immense impetus to the very forces which those who opposed the book desired to curb.

Discussion Rife as to Effect Upon Deliberations,
 Candidates
ULTRA DRY PLANK
 WILL BE DEMANDED
Smith Supporters Express Confidence in His
 Nomination

HOUSTON, Texas, June a. The Prohibition question has been thrown squarely into the Demo- cratic Convention before opening. The headquarters of Gov. A. E. Smith has provoked ali endless round of discussion IS to the ef- feet it will have upon the con- vention's deliberations and Smiths candidacy itself Gov. Smiths statement that the present Prohi bition legislation should be amended has been seiz- ed upon by the drys here to de- mand an ultra dry plank in the party platform and oppose the nomination of a wet candidate.
 Smith supporters still expressed full confidence he win be nomin- ated on an early ballot, in con- trast with confidence of Smith opponents who cling to the hope theg will prevent his nomination. ! Smiths Strength 1 To win the nolH'nation for President, it will be necessary I for Gov Smith to muster 733 Ia Of the 100 votes. smiths man agers claim incoming supporters give Smith $50 definitely lined up and the necessary remainder will be obtained in early ballot ing which is expressed to begin next Thursday, two days after the convention meets.
 Reed to Fight The driving force of Smiths opposition is expected to be furn- isha ad with the arrival tonight of United States Senator James A. Reed who is coming to press his own candidacy. He has served notice that he intends to fight to , the finish.
 Leading Question
 One of the foremost questions going the rounds of the hotel Hobbies is where the favorite son votes will go when the break comes in the balloting. Smith men candidly concede they have little chance in getting some of this strength but are looking with nsiderable confidence on at least part of the delegations from such favorite son States as Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska and Kan sas. As the Smith men see it. if they can pick. up batch of the votes from those States. the nomination of Smith will be as- sured
 Reed to Have Fighters
 The dynamic Reed will throw himself whole heartedly into the fight after his arrival and will have the assistance of such men as Sam Fordyce, campaign man. ager; and Charles Howell, of Kansas City, who will place his name before the convention.
 Reed Not Delegate Senator Reed is not a delegate to the convention but some thought has been given by his advisers to the advisability of having him take seat by proxy thus clearing the way for him to sit on the platform committee and If he so wished to address the convention if the situation so shaped up that he would regard this course as desirable

 When He Goes Fishing

SUPERIOR, Wis, June 22.- Definite accounts of President Coolidge on his fishing trips show him wearing his 10-gallon hat, rubber slicker. khaki shirt and using dry flies for bait. The hat caused puzzlement and the news that he did not use worms for bait caused relief among touchy fishermen. The hat worn is apparently the one he wore last summer in the Black Hills but strange sight in this sec tion.

KENTUCKY COAST GUARD
 IS ONLY INLAND CREW

LOUISVILLE, Ky. June 22-To most coast guardsmen storms, sleet and gales mean constant danger, but there remains a sin. gle detachment of the service for which balmy June weather and calm summer days bring the chief threat of disaster.
 That detachment, located at the brink of the Ohio river falls on the Louisville water front, con stitutes the only inland U. $. coast guard station in the sery. ice. The busy season" for these men is during the time when sum- mer boating is best, but in the winter they are often pressed into duty when the levee becomes ice coated and vehicles skid down the steep incline into the river. During one day they have re- covered sixteen trucks and motor cars from the waters.
 More than fifty years ago the toll of life and property taken by the falls of the Ohio river and the treacherous rapids below in spired the formation of a yolun- teer life saving service. For theii work congress, by special act, as well as the Kentucky legislature, awarded them gold medals.
 In 1881, Paul Boynton, of New York, in a specially constructed suit. was attempting to swim from Pittsburgh to New Orleans. He was escorted by a small boat con taining thirteen men, principally correspondents of eastern news papers. Boynton and the boat passed over the falls, unaware of the danger of the rapids below. The life saving crew rescued the boats passengers and Boynton, seriously injured. was picked up by river packet below the whirl- pool The attendant agitation re- suited in establishment of fed
