FATHER Divine
OFFERED Ian D
in "SPITE WAR"
Woman Would Give Up
Fashionable Estate

GLEN RIDGE, N. j., Sept. 5.
Six years ago the town fathers Of
fashionable Glen Ridge refused to
let her build an automobile serv.
ice station on her property, so
now Mrs. Irene Warren has of.
fered the land to Father Divine
for a new branch Heaven" site.
And Glen Ridge, one Of the
most exclusive residential sections
in New Jersey, began to hum with
startled comment. It's wealthy,
socially minded residents well re.
membered Mrs. Warren's ability
to fight stubbornly for what she
wanted.
SPITE WAR
The property became famous
in 1882, when she began her Spec
tacular "spite war" with the Dor.
ough council. Offered rent Of 5000
a month for 10 years by an oil
company, she asked officials to
rezone Bloomfield Avenue to per.
NIT the deal.
But the town fathers, pointing
out that other costly mansions
surrounded Mrs. Warren's $50, 900
property, refused. So she took
matters into her own hands.
She painted the house red,
white and blue. She had huge rep.
resentationS Of the Katzenjam-
mer kids and Mickey Mouse
drawn on the walls. She hung
red flannels on a c1othesline on
the porch and permanently
parked an ancient flivver on the
front lawn. Then she set up pow.
erful Spotlights 50 passersby could
see 1t all by night.
RAZED BY FLAMES
But the officials remained
adamant, no one bought the
property, and in 1884 the house
burned down.
Inspired by Father Divine's pur-
chase OF Krumm Elbow, opposite
President Roosevelt's Hyde Park
IN. Y.) home, Mrs. Warren today
wrote Charles Becker, Newark
attorney representing the colored
cultist.

Nellie E. LeffIer and the city

Five licensed card rooms
operate under a recently

No liquor is sold or allowed
in the card rooms, and

About One-third of the regu-

Old Art of Making Furniture by Hand
Is Followed by Craftsmen in Bermuda

The dizziness of the early settlers
in Bermuda in making household
furniture from wood of the cedar
trees they found growing on the is
lands is preserved today, three CEN
turtles later in many of their de-
scendants, writes a Hamilton, Ber-
muda, correspondent in the New
York Times.
While many Bermuda homes con-
tain pieces of antique furniture
fashioned by the hands of men who
fought against the sea to gain
foothold on the jagged coral shore,
they also can show tables, chairs
and bedsteads made by contempo-
rary residents which follow closely
old designs and methods of the
workmanship of the colonists.
Little of the work is done pro-
fessionally, because American and
British furniture may be purchased
comparatively cheaply. But the joy
of the craftsman, inherited through
several generations, manifests it.

tiny yellow violets. She would smile,
and tuck them in the bosom of her
dress or in her hair.
Eulalia had struggled against the
spell that La Primavera wove round
her, fought against succumbing to
it's drugging influence. But gradu-
ally the sweetness, the peace, the
sheer beauty overcame her, and she
found herself riding in a state of
relaxed comfort, not happiness, not
unhappiness.
Sometimes at night, at their SUM-
down camping-places, they would
share a spring with wild deer;
mountain lions would lie prone
along the branches above them; or
great grizzly bears crash through
the brush, rear on startled hind
legs, and 60 clumsily and swiftly
away.
This was blissful Eden to the Gov
ernor of California. To him each
day was a perfect jewel, polished,
