GROUPED IN TWOS
LONDON,. Jan. 24. UP) Itcmit

departments of the British govern
ment ia not unusual, but M. "W. Shnn
Ipv, the chair kins of London, who
has placed thousands of chairs about
the city'8 pnrkH which he rfinta' for
two pence each, has received from
America his first conscience money,
a penny which an unknown American
forgot to pay for the rent of a Hyde
Park chair ten years ago. The peony
and the letter have been preserved
as prized souvenirs.'
Mr. Shanley's business is the only
one of its kind in England, and was
established by his father 80 years
ago. Shanley now owns more than
150,000 chairs and employs n large
force of men to go about collecting
the tupenny rental. Receipt tickets
are given, and the occupant may re
tain the chair the entire day for his
two pence.
Most of the chairs are placed in
groups of two, but it was an eye
for business, not a desire to befriend
lovers, that dictated the- grouping,
according to Mr. Shanley. lie not
iced that people generally went about
in twos, aud that groups of three or
four were mmti in the minority. So
he arranged his chairs accordingly.
T.OS ANOELES. Jan. 24. OW
The tale of the disillusionment of an
expedition of 20 Americans, mostly
young men from southern California,
who left here last May to seek ro
mance and adventure in secluded by
ways of the Orient, was told by the
last of the party, who recently re
turned home here. They, as had the
rest of the group, made the return
trip by a derious route, doing menial
tasks aboard steamers after having
been stranded for months at Singa
pore, where their romantic complexes
were shaken by fever and privation.
The returning adventurers offered
a strange contrast to the debonair
party which set sail on the President
Van Buren with the intention of ob
taining motion -pictures among the
queer folk and animals in the wilds
of the Orient. An "ape-man" was to
be filmed for the benefit and enlight
enment of American audiences. The
itinerary included a side trip to the
Isle of Bale, where a few choice
scenes were to be taken of the in
habitants offering 1.000 babes to their
gnds on an altar of fire. These pic
tures were to be sold on the expedi
tion's return.
Mr. Wlnther Leads
The party was headed by Carl
P. Winther, and associated with him
was William Bals, who professed to
have had experience in the Orient
The former's wife and little daugh
ter, a child of 10, were with the
paty and shared Its hardships.
The voyage to Manila passed with
out incident, but at Singapore their
troubles began. Money sent by Los
Angeles backers arrived late, and the
travelers were without funds. When
it did arrive distentions started. Then
the 'backers baeked down and out,
and a local hotel turned the Araeri?
cans into the street.
The; American consul helped as
much as he could, and arranged for
living . . quarters in an unused hotel.
But the condition of the adventurers
steadily became worse. Several were
attacked by fever.
No Odd Jobs
Heroic methods were used to raise
funds, but there were no odd jobs in
Singapore for Americans or Europe
ans. W. E. Boerg, of Peoria, 111.,
Reeve tary of the expedition, who had
been something of an amateur boxer,
had an idea that he might earn a few
dollars by fighting in one of the fre
ouent cards at the athletic club in
the European colony.
Boerg obtained a match with Harry
Smythe, a Chinese boxer notwith
standing his English name, but on
the day of the fight came down with
fever. He insisted, however, on
climbing Into the ring and lasted four
rounds, which enrichened the expedi
tion's coffers by $40 in Mexican mon
ey. A few months ago the exodus from
Singapore began, every man for him
self, and they filtered into Los An
geles and home singly, or in twos and
threes. All are now safely back in
the United States except Winther and
Bals, who remained in Singapore.

wealthiest noblemea in Hungary, has

by the Pope. There were plenty of
beautiful specimens to be found, even
horses that at first sight seemed
white. .But in each case some dark
speck was discovered on them. Count

cording to a bulletin from the
Washington, D. C, headquarters
of the National Geographic Society-
"Though the Bretons, in the
henrt of whose homeland so many
of tho American doughboys landed
when they disembarked at Brest,
are peaceful and home-loving, they
have sometimes rebelled. In the
fifth century a brother-in-law of
Duke Francis II wrote Ills kins
man: 'Monseigneur, I declare to
Ood, I would rather be tho ruler
of a million of wild boars than
of such a people at) are your
Bretons.'
People Pious
"The cursory traveler would not
suspect the sleepy little village,
whose fishing Bniacks with their
red and brown sails and blue and :
brown riali nets make Us water
front a happy haunt of artists of
all nationalities, of being suscep
tible to emotional outbursts. But
the dangerous waters of the ocenn
have given them a lively but mel
ancholy imagination, obstinate de
termination, and a piety as tils-
ttiiKulahed as their bravery.

of Rbuon, or even their dukes like
those of Nantes, hod more Individ-1
