By Eric Bennett
TOMMY FARR, near-heavy-weight champion of the world, is a noar bridegroom again.
Tommy, seems to be making a speciality of this nearly-engaged-but-we're-only- good-friends-business.
This time the girl is Eileen Wenzel.

Eileen Wenzel, of the alabaster skin, once a Ziegfeld Follies girl, was earning £100 a week in[ an Earl Carroll show six years ago.
Claim Against Millionaire
"Her hair was lustrous, her forehead white) as a snow peak, and her eyes made men swoon,' said Carroll, who was no mean beauty expert.

A "Lovely Boy"
Inger Anderson, beautiful British actress, did the usual hum-and-ba act when she was asked whether there was a romance between her und Tommy.
"Tommy's a nice boy," she said. "He and I have had some fovely times together."
Tommy said: "I've never heard of her."

It was during the second trip up the river from Apalachicola to Co- lumbus that the mishap occurred. Capt. Hezekiah Wingate of Colum- bus and several hands were lost.
Within the next few weeks, Frank P. Blair of Chicago will attempt to salvage the Alice and the $300,000 cargo of whisky, oner valued at only $3,000.
Blair discussed here his plan to salvage the 160-foot steamer. He said the boat is now under 28 feet of raud and two feet of water, its sunken pozition having changed the river's
course.
Blair hopes to raise the Alice by constructing a coffer dam above Its resting place.
The Atlanta Bureau of Internal, Revenue said Blair had informed the of salvage plans, and government that Federal representatives would be present when the ship was raised. The Chicago man said heirs of the owners to whom the whisky lot was would be due to get a
