1914 traffic was tied up by snow
and ice in the coastland.
DOUGH IN THE HAY-Tax liens
for $380,00O have been filed in
Virginia courts against Mrs. Vir-
ginia Kaufman, a well-known
Norfolk Madam. She must have
been making plenty in her East
Main st. enterprises.

he proved his right as finder IN
court to keep it, he had paid out
$500,

SAVING MILLIONS - The Gem

ton is reported to have saved the

BOLD THEA brazen thief

ing burglar alarm stole over $1,000
worth of jewelry from Stems
Jewellers in Hamlet last Thursday
night.
SICK PEOPLE-Geniuses are sick
people, according to DIR. v. B.
Green-Armytage, another Britisher
who is over to America seeking
glory and attention at a medical
meeting in California. He says
geniuses have either been alco-
holics. dope addicts, or mentally
Unstable; sometimes of syphilitic
parents, all of which helped stim-
ulate them to higher levels of at
tainment.
NEAR TRAGEDY - Police at
Mount Pleasant, Mich, searching
for 2-year-old Andy Bacon found
his footprints leading to a hole in
the ice on the Chippewa River; he
was found floating in the water
downstream, having passed under
80 feet of ice from the point of
breakthrough. Artificial respira-
ton seemed hopeless, but as the
coroner was about to pronounce
him dead faint heartbeat was de-
tected; hospital authorities later
said he will recover.
"BIG SHOTS" BLOW UP-Ran-
dolph Churchill, British bull-artist
over in America picking up dough
on a lecture tour amid gullible
Americans, blew up when on a
television show in New York last
week he was asked question
which referred to his "actress" sis
ter Sarah, who has been on a
Hollywood junket and got in a
terrific fight with police while pub
licly drunk. Randolph truly made
an ass of himself, reflected nastily
on the man who ran the show and
his employees. But then when you
read the history of Randolph's
grandparents, and of more remote
ancestors like old John Churchill
and Sarah Jennings, and how they
connived with their huppers for a
profit, it seems he would have kept
his mouth shut. Big shots and 9TH
er famous men have some mighty
disappointing children afflicting
the world. Tragic.
