AS we sit down to record the
happenings of the social set, the
weather does not look very promis-
ing for the showing of the new
spring hat, nor of the other finery
of milady, that usually appears
about this time each year. The wind
is blowing, and the rain is tecming
down. This is probably the Easter
Cquinoctual. Who can say? But
there is plenty Of time for the
storm to be over, and the sun to
make its appearance before time to
get to the places we are going for
the holiday. There has been much
rain lately but folks are very toler-
ant this year, remembering, of
course, the urgent need for water.
Things always work out for the
best, so here's hoping that everyone
has a Happy Easter, with much gem

A LITTLE SATURDAY TALK

Would you like to see for your- self how cold it is at the North Pole?
 If so. just make a balloon trip to a height of eight or nine miles. The farther you go up, the colder it will be.
 Early in the morning, on an August day, I set out to climb a peak in the Rocky mountains. When I reached height of about 13,000 feet, found a snowfield and made some snowballs. It was cold at that spot-about two and a half miles above sea level-but not nearly so cold as it is five or six miles above the earth's surface.
 A few weeks ago two scientists Auguste Uiccard and Charles Kipfer used a balloon to rise to height of about 10 miles, and found the air far colder than it has ever been known to be at the North Pole.
 Piccard and Kipfer rose in a metal ball pulled upward by bal loon. They left the eartht's surface in Germany and came down on a glacial field in Austria.
 Why did these scientists want to close themselves up in the metal ball? The main purpose was to save themselves from freezing to death, in case tey reached height greater than man had ever reached before. The ball was made in such a man. ner as tot provide warmth for those inside.
 Another problem for the explor- CTS was to provide themselves with

charges beyond stating the cause of

charges beyond stating the cause of action.
 Vanderbilt and Platt both indi- cated the suit grew out of the now famous "Arno incident" when Van- derbilt claimed his wife was escort ed to the door of their home early last Monday by the caricaturist.
 Asked to recount again the de- tails of the affair, Vanderbilt said he could see the pair approaching through a small glass aperture in the door.
 q seized a. gun and exhibited 1t through the glass and cried:
 See what I've got herei I'm going to kill Arno.'
 Mrs Vanderbilt turned and screamed, Look out-he's going to get youP
 "Arno disappeared as I opened the door. I was in pajamas and slippers. I ran after him for. some distance, and then turned my weak ankle slightly. I decided to return to my home"
 Mrs Vanderbilt and Arno, how ever, claimed that all three had been to a night club and returned for Ian amiab1e visit" Arno said that, to his surprise, Vanderbilt telephoned. him the next morning and threatened him.
 vanderbilt readily admitted the threats to-day.
 T gave him fair warning a num- Der of times" he said. Several days before the affair of this week. end I called him up and told him to stay away from my wife,"

means of breathing while high in the air. Inside the ball was store of oxkgen, and 1t was enough to keep them alive during the IS hours of their flight.
 It is safe to say that men will make many more flights into the thin air 10 miles or more above the earth's surface. Airplanes have risen eight miles high, and may go up a few miles higher than that in time to come. Within our lifetime, a balloon may rise to a height of 15 or 20 miles.
 believe. however, that the real 'high-f1yers' of the future will be rockets. Reaching the moon or a planet by means of 8 rocket may be very, very far in the future; but rockets which carry mail across the oceans are likely to be use before many years pass.

 New York, June 20.-(UP)- Stanley E. Faithful and his family --their lives shadowed by what they believe was the murder of Starr Faithfull-faced to-day an uncer- tain future, which may hold financial Iembarrassments that will endure the rest of their lives.
 Faithful, not so prosperous as in former days, has lost his position as concern. Now he is less interested in worrying about making living for the rest of his life than he is in solving the mystery of his step daughters death.
 After Starr's case is cleared up," he said, "there will be time to worry about ourselves"
 He has a. letter from his former employers, telling him the board of directors, decided they would have to sever connections with him-pre- sumably because of the publicity connected with Starr's death. Other positions may not be made readily available to him. Thus, Faithful finds himself in similar situation to a man just released from prison anxious to make his way in the world, but finding obstacles every where.
 The only other possible bread-win- ner is 19-year-o1d Tucker, Starr's sister-a girl unversed in the realm of commerce and trade. Apt critics have told her she had a flair for il- lustrating and painting (she spent two years in a Boston art schooD but remuneration for beginner in the art world is scanty.
 She has had the usual offers that attend extended newspaper publicity offers from Texas Guinan's repre- sentative and vaudeville managers seeking to capitalize the publicity. But such methods are repulsive to the Faithful family, and Tucker prefers the slow road she will have to travel to artistic success.
 Mrs Faithful, frail and of an ar tistic temperament herself, is un- schoo1ed in the world of business and it is likely that even if she at- tempted a commercial career she would be faced with the same obsta- cles that confront her husband.
 The Faithfulls have lived a seclud- ed life here and few friends have attempted to console them or to off, fer any other form of assistance in their tragedy. They have received Ia letter from one member of the Phillips family. famous in Massa- chusetts, to whome Mrs Faithful is related.
 Otherwise their mail has consisted of letters from strangers, most of them in appreciation of the Faith full attitude toward the case and commenting the series of articles which he gave to the United Press in an attempt to clarify the amazing contradictions in Starr's life.

 SAVES f6 PIGEONS

Boston.--The fishing schooner l.. A. Dunton came to port recently with the story of how IS pigeons had been saved from almost certain death by being blown onto Che craft while it was some 800 miles at sea.
 The birds were being swept sea- ward by a terrific wind when they landed on the Duntons' deck. Mem bers ofthe crew made home for them in the engine room and when the vessel reached shore here the pigeons refused an offer of liberty. The fishermen said the birds would be allowed to remain aboard as long as they wished.
