LADY ASTOR CHAPERONES

MISS CHURCHILL

New York, Oct. 1. UBURN-HAIRED Sarah Churchill, chaperoned by Lady Astor, was chary of making a statement con- cerning the report that she is “engaged to marry" Mr. Vic Oliver, the American comedian, when she arrived here to-day in the Bremen.

Mr. Ollver, not such a blushing violet, stated: I would be more

than flattered to be connected with the Churchill family.

"All this trouble, the result of Transatlantic misunderstand-

know very well and admire very much. He la the ambassador of the family,"

Appearing to be more interested in having his pictures taken than in meciing the Churchills, Mr. Oliver added; "I would not think of marriage unless Alas Churchill's fa „her, brother and the entire Church!!!

family agreed."

Reporters and photographers followed Lady Astor's niece. Miss Virgi- nia Brann, for more than half an hour thinking she was Miss Churchill, Finally,

Lady Astor arranged a Press Conference, at which Miss Churchill read an obviously prepared statement:

"I am very happy, to be in America," she said "After all, 1 had an American grandmother, and the other members of my family have all been here."

She claimed that all statements supposedly eriginating from her re- garding her possible marriage were fa ise. Then she posed willingly for newsreel men but would not appear before other photographers without the permission of Mr. John G. Broudy, a New York lawyer, who, she said, was a friend of the family.

Mr. Oliver, who had been re- ferred to as an “Austrian count,” would not give his correct name, Finally, in disgust, he said: "Call me Joe Biotz, Count Joe Blotz."

"DISTRESSED"

Lndy Astor, suid: "Miss Churchill hay been with Mt! every minute of the trip. She Is much distressed at all the puoneity.”

As tor herself Lady Astor said: "I am glad 1 have arrived at time when Amerlen is busy with the forthcoming election because I shall be ignored by the newspapers. Miss Churchill too, hus diverted at- tention from me.”

Lady Astor spoke strongly against propaganda, "A his trip," she said, "was ammost ruined for me by the excessive propagatido.”

Pieces of wood treated with "SILVERTOWN" were nailed to untreated pieces and buried for several months in ground, infested with white ants, As will be seen on the left, the TREATED pieces remained UNTOUCHED, whereas the untreated pieces were almost completely devoured.
