Many fans seem to be pining
for the return of Paul Tremaine
and his Lonely Acres gang to the
wave lengths. I am sorry to dis
appoint Paul's admirers here, but
the fact is he's transforming
around Pennsylvania, and there's
no broadcasting in sight.
Tremaine could have found a

Since that is quite an overhead,
he will probably linger a while

stranger always precedes him, and he
is astonished when he arrives at some

are entirely familiar with him and his

use of drums generally made by
stretching a skin across hollow tree.

her half promise TO go with him to the

Juanita tucked Mrs. Belaise's ring in

Sweater UnraUelS
Into Sad Yarn of
TwO Divorces

PHILADELPHIA, July 23.-To
EWard Schultz and Carl Thomas
the world war centered about
Elsie's knitting.
Elsie made sweaters and wrist
lets, and a sweater and some
wristlets came to Edward.
oddly enough, the sweater fit
ted; but he gave the wristlets
to Carl, so his buddy, being a
small man. could have some
sweaters, too. .
But, ah! There was a slip OF
paper pinned to the sweater. 1t
bore Elsie's name and address.
Edward wrote. And, on Armis-
tice Day, 1919, they married.
Elsie introduced Carl to Clara,
her girl friend, and a year later
they married, too.
But romance waned, and Carl
and Edward took to drinking,
Judge John j. Sullivan was told.
So Elsie and Clara got divorces
In rapid-fire order.
