serious movement. as you may judge
from the names in the committee, in
GLIDING Furtwangler and Profs. Leonid

The leagues first aim is to reduce the
price for hiring halls by half. so that
the young and not-yet-arrived may have
a fair chance of making themselves
heard. Free programs. says the league,
must be provided and the national Gus
tom of wrestling coats. hats, sticks and
umbrellas from unwilling patrons at a

cents must cease. Tickets purchased
from agencies before the concert are
TO be cheaper than those obtained at
the box Office on the evening Of the
performance, and concerts are to start
later. so that people may have their
upper at home before starting.

The filing Of a divorce suit in Reno,
New, yesterday by Mrs. Grace Wag-
gaman Pulver brought to the same en-.
two Washington elopement romances
that occurred about five years ago.
Mrs. Pulver filed suit for divorce from
George M. Pulver, charging extreme
mental cruelty and asking for the Gus
tody of their child.
The Pulvers we're married in Ellicott
City, Md, at the same time as Lille
Roosevelt, daughter of the late Col
Robert Roosevelt, and James Lee, men,
Der of an old Boston family.
Both girls made their debuts In
Washington and were exceedingly pop
ular.
The Lees were divorced more than
year ago and Mrs. Lee married Hugh
ODonnell of this city.
The romance of Mr.. and Mrs Pulver
was shattered more than year age
and Mrs. Pulver went to live with her
mother. Mrs Alexander Legare, while
the husband went to the Racquet Club
where he now lives.
In her divorce petition Mrs. Pulver
asks custody OF their child.

DONPRESSESENTRY|
IN SPEED TESTS
Drives Miss EngIand.II Hard
Preparatory to Meeting
Gar Wood.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, September 1.-Trying to
determine exactly how many seconds 1t
takes to drive his world record holding
speedboat Miss England II, from the
Belle Isle Bridge to a point approx
mately 500 yards from a standing
start, Kaye Don, British speed king, is
taking the boat over that part of the
Harmsworth race course frequently
these days.
The reason Is that when Don starts
on the first heat of his race next Sat-
urday with Gar Wood for the British
International Trophy, he wants to flash
over the starting line with Miss Eng
lands throttle wide open. The start
of the Harmsworth is probably one of
the most thrilling features Of the con-
test.
Leaving the bridge a few seconds be-
fore the starting gun, the boats ap-
proach the starting line in front of
the Detroit Yacht Club at terrific speed
Realizing that Wood, familiar with
every inch of the course, will have an
advantage on the turns, Don wants to
be first across the starting line, hoping
to pile up lead on the straightawayS,
constituting about miles of the Smile
course.
Although no official timing has been
announced, Don is understood to have
pushed Miss England II over the course
within the last few days at approx
mately 100 miles an hour.
