The reception was an elegant af-
fair. There were many noted people
present, and the flowers used cost
thousands of dollars. Champagne
flowed at the elegant supper. Mrs
Melbourne, however, stuck so close to-
her daughter that the couple had
no chance to 60 out alone. It rained
terribly, and though the party re-
manned day longer than they had
expected, last Friday morning came
without the elopement having been
accomplished. They were to leave at
10 o'clock on that day for Baltimore,
where Mrs. Melbourne had to make
q stop to see about getting some
customs duties arranged. Mr.. Wall
knew of this, and at the last moment
he and Salome quietly concluded
that Baltimore was as good a place
for the wedding as New York. The
arrangement was probably made
while waiting for the train at the
depot.
Berry came to the train without
valiSe or valet, in brown trousers, a
cutaway coat and low, stiff hat. At
the last moment he asked Mrs. Mel
bourne If he might not accompany
her to Baltimore, and he thus started
of without his Saratoga and mis-
precious wardrobe. While going over
on the train he happened to leave
his hat, which was damp, near the
steam pipes, where it was, horrible to
say, drawn out of shape. At Balti-
more it was hardly fit to be seen, so
when the party arrived at the hotel,
with q wink at his future bride. he
excused himself to go out to buy a
new hat. Miss Salome was appar-
emily not well, and was lying down,
SO Mrs. Melbourne decided to attend
to her business at once. She had no
sooner left the hotel than Berry Wall
came back, and he and Salome
started of, ostensibly for a walk in
the park. They were married with
out ceremony or wedding costumes,
and when Mrs. Melbourne returned
two hours later she was met by her
daughter, who seemed very excited.

she said, as she handed her a piece
of paper.

and talk to him.
Mrs. Melbourne asked Mr.. Wall
what all this confusion meant. Mr..

are at present being studied. Al
though without the dramatic appeal
of some of the political moves, these
contributions Of Secretary Hull may
be In the long run the most enduring
gains Of the Pan-American year just
concluded.
1t was, therefore, not without sig

have called again, in his Pan-Ameri-

governments to eliminate artificial
barriers to trade, and that he should

JUSTICES DINED
. BY YPRES|DENT

Seven members of the Supreme
Court of the United States sat
down to dinner in the State din
ing room of the White House last
night as guests of the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt at the annual
dinner to the court.
And these justices, whose decis-
ion on the important gold cases
is awaited so eagerly by the busi-
ness interests Of the nation, dined
off the famous White House gold
service.
There was nothing significant
IN this, however. The gold service
is always used at formal State
dinners. and the invitations were
sent out before the gold case came
before the court.
Justice william Brandeis and
Justice Willis Van Devanter did
not attend. Among other guests
were the Attorney General and
Mrs. Cummings, the Solicitor Gen.
eral and Mrs. Biggs, ranking men,
berS of the Senate and House Jul
dietary Committee, Mr.. and Mrs.

Ne " CAMERA
INVENTED BY
TEXAS DOCTOR

DALLAS, Tex. Aug. 5. UP-Dr.
Edgar Fuller, Dallas inventor. has
invented a new kind of camera,
which he says takes pictures in
third dimension"
For the first time, according to
DR.. Fuller, his invention makes
possible the taking Of pictures
which have depth similar to pic
lures viewed through a stereoscope.
The invention viii prove espe-
cially beneficial to the moving pic
ture industry, he believes, as flat"
pictures create an imperfect image
Of the scene.
The camera, without trick mir
rors" or special lenses, projects pic
lures Of concaye objects, such as
caves, with both sides shown per-
fectly. Even cylindrical objects,
shot down the line after the OBJ
jects are placed parallel to the
ground, emerge in true depth, DR..
Fuller says.
The illusion Of depth is created
by bending a light ray. Fuller spent
$4,000 in perfecting his camera.

NOT SERTOUS-FUNNY


The saving grace of the American peo-
pie, as it has often been pointed out, is
their sense of humor, which inspires
them to make fun Of their ills, be they
political, physical or spiritual. and some
how few take offense at this attitude.
It is chiefly in the political arena that
we show our sense of humor. None of
our present day political leaders are
sacred" to us, and the last thing that
could cause offense is any of the hun
areds of political cartoons which are
carried in thousands of newspapers and
magazines throughout the nation.
Therefore it is somewhat difficult for
many of US to get the viewpoint of
Japan's anger over publication of a car
toOn of its emperor in one Of our nation
al magazines Japan has banned the
publication from the nation and has in
structed its ambassador at Washington
to make informal protest to the govern
ment. This is because, to the Japanese
people, the Mikado is a god and his per-
son is sacred. japanese newspapers are
even demanding the scalp of Ambassador
Salto because he did not prevent publi-
cation of the magazine They of course
do not understand that not even the
United States government could do that.
unless the cartoon were obscene, which
it is not
Our government might request the edi-
tcrs to eliminate something distasteful
to another nation, but the freedom of the
press, guaranteed by the constitution,
wisely prevents government interference
in such matters.
Our own President is caricatured and
lampooned day in and day out and in
several instances by the magazine in
question. His reaction was to get a
hearty laugh out of the comic picture
apd indeed buy extra copies to send to
his friends.
The cartoon of the Mikado has caused
another tempest in teapot, right after
the German flag incident. Perhaps the
best way to terminate it would be to eX-
tend the most humble apologies which
Japan will accept and then sit back in
our chairs for a good laugh over the
ludicrousness of the whole thing-from
ouS viewpoint.

LANSING. Mich, Aug. 5. U.R -
More than 10000 persons look to
Michigans new old age pension
statute to provide benefits not to
exceed $50 a month.
Augmented by a S2OOOOOO state
appropriation and the possibility
of an additional s2.OOO.0OO federal
matching program, the states old
age pension setup is the most eX-
tensive ever organized here. 1t
succeeds the 81 head tax plan which
has been repealed because the ad-
ministrative expenses exceeded the
collections.
To participate in the benefits Of
the Michigan act, person must
qualify along these lines:
Must have attained the age Of
10 years, but after 1910 this age
limit will be reduced to IS.
Must be a citizen Of the United
States.
Must be a resident of the state
for 10 years Immediately preceding
the date Of application.
In addition the applicant, above

unusual repercuSsion.
A number of Rep. Wright Pat

This has embarrassed Patman
considerably.
If the good folks would read their

see Why 1t is Rep. Nat Patton,
another Texas Democratic congress-
man, who is involved in the cigar

The confusion arose, of course,
due TO the similarity Of names.
Patman and Patton sound a lot
alike. Also Patman is well known
as the leader of a number of ma
tional fights for the soldier bonus
bill. Patton is a first-termer and
few outside Of his own Texas dis
trict had ever heard of him.

the mixup won't hurt their man at

'BUSYBODIES ACTIVE AGAIN

News of the lynching at Yreka Satur-

TO one-tenth the people of this state when
the United Order of Busybodies' be-
came very busy
That isn't their real name. of course.
and we are not going to tell their real
name here Such action Is not decreed
by any fear of the "Busybodies' but be-
cause they dearly love what we have to
give them-publicity-and they are not
going to get it. We regret very much
that other papers throughout the state
fell for their protest telegram
We have no recollection of the Busy
bodies protesting when the policeman
Tor whose death man was lynched. fell
before the bullets of a couple of outlaws.
We doubt that anyone else ever heard of
such a protest. Just few weeks before
this shooting. two other policemen. one
the head Of a family Of five small child
rem, were moved down in cold blood
while doing their duty, by another out
law. Nothing was said about it by the
"Busybodies."
In fact we have no recollection of the
"Busybodies' lever making protest when
there was real demand for it. But let
some bunch of reds" or "parlOr pinks''
like themselves get into trouble-through
inability to mind their own business
and Immediately the "Busybodies" make
the business Of the trouble makers their

At once they send kilograms of pro-
test to all and sundry, making certain
that copies of the kilograms are immedi-
ately furnished to the newspapers, and
in some cases taking the copies to the
papers before the kilograms are sent.
It's good publicity for their organization
and makes the unthinking believe that
the "Busybodies" are alert to protect the
rights of the poor, the oppressed and
the downtrodden." Some of the newspa-
pers still fall for these protest tele-
grams" but The Press decided after first
hand experience with the "Busybodies"

that they were after just one thing-pub-
licity-and that they are not going to get
