In order to meet their extra overheads they had to have ca- pacity, or near capacity crowds.

If this is so then this is the best news London's ice hockey fans have had in years because it will do more than anything else to retrieve the game from the shadow of the provinces to where the ice glamor shows have forced it. -- _ - GREASED LIGHTNING? During an electrical storm Lucille - Hart, aged fifteen, of Battle Creek, was standing near an open window examining a bowl .of eheese which had been made some days previously. A streak of lightning struck the bowl from her hand and spattered the contents over the walls of the room; the bowl smashed to pieces.

Or, it they're older, for com: panionship. But it's not always so. The decision to wed has often been made for the most oddly unexpected reason. Possibly one can take with a pinch of salt the explanation given by a Lancashine woman, She told her husband she mar- ried him so that she could warm her cold feet in the middle of 'his back. Another rather different atti- tude. was expressed by George Montgomery and Dinah Shore, who married bécause "We like the same things and the same people. We don't drink and we don't stay up late." The motive for many marri- ages has been ---- strangely en- ough, a desire to save 'expense. Bartholdi, the sculptor who de- signed the Statue of Liberty, used as his model pretty Jean- ne Bayeux, When he married per, it was widely believed he ad done so'merely in order to avoid paying her. fees Though there is a Scots prov- erb, "Don't marry for mgney; you can borrow it cheaper," a good many people have. In 19883, when an Englishwoman was -granted a divorce from an Ohio peanut vendor, she frankly told the judge her reasons for mar- rying him. "I desired adven- ture, luxury, a rich American husband and an escape from rationing," she. declared. Similar sentiments were ex pressed by an Australian wom- an, asked why she married two men in the same year. "I want- ed security," she replied. This isn't a purely modern at- titude. In the 1860s, a famous - woman journalist, Mrs. Lynn Linton, accused the girl 'of the period of looking for a banker rather than a husband.

That was the situation at the end of the: 1953-54 season. A number of rinks decided to end with ice hockey altogether, while others decided to dispense with imported Canadians and try their fortune with native talent. One such as these is Streatham,. the south' London rink with one of, the largest ice surfaces in the country. Streatham was one of the most successful combinations -but despite winning the Autumn Cup last season and finishing runner-up in the English League it tailed to pay its way. +. * ) During the summer the Brit: ish Ice Hockey Association and the promoters got together and the outcome is the formation -of the British National League.

Cemented : Friendship With Bottled Message Two youths aged eighteen and © sixteen were among a builder's gang who erected a church in a suburb of Berlin, * fifty years ago. As they carried - bucket after bucket of cement and mortar to the' site it oc- curred to them, "immortalize" their' names in the church's foundations. So on a piece of paper they wroté: "We, Walter Ricke and Robert Hartmann, build 'this church in 1904. Our hearty greetings to whoever finds this note in the unknown future." . They put their message into a bottle and buried it in the wet cement of the foundations. Ten years ago the church was damaged when a bomb fell' near it. A few weeks ago the church was demolished to -make way for a new one and the bottle messdge was discovered. Said the head of the deémoli- tion firm when he read the fifty- year-old message: "Let's try to find the men who wrote it." He succeeded. Ricke and Hartmann were traced in two different districts of Germany. Both are today master builders and had not seen each other since the authumn of 1904. . The finder of the message in- vited them to meet. again at a reunion dinner in his house a few weeks ago. They toasted each other's health in wine pro- 'vided by their unexpected host. helped to / - sandwiched in between was in order to give a name to a son' born a year earlier. : The idea behind a somewhat similar event in Las Vegas was different. Both parties hoped to gain - financially. Immediately after their marriage Alex Bin- ney and the former Constance Fleet made tracks for the div- orce court, It was only by be- comipg man and wife that they could benefit under a will, but the testator hadn't made any stipulation as to how long their wedded bliss should last. It is a frequent condition of receiving a bequest that the legatee should forsake his single state, A will was published only last July, in which a furniture manufacturer in his early for- ties was left about $25,000. This he must forfeit .if he remains a bachelor, There is a time limit. e must marry during the- life- time of the testator's widow, _ One man who married for money was Jerome Clegg. But he married a horse. Considered much too irresponsible to handle his own money, Jerome discov- ered that his wife would be al: [lowed to do so. Further inves tigation brought to light an ar- chaic Arkansas law permitting a man to marry 'any living be- ing" So he went through a ceremony with a which had previously won con: siderable sums for him, Relatives succeeded. in getting the marriage annulled, but Jer- ome was allowed to take over control of his own finances, If he was shrewd enough to think up a schema like that, ruled the lawyers, he was capable of deal- ing with his own affairs, racehorse _ FARM Implement and hardware busi. ness for sale, complete with store, workshop, © warehouses and dwelling.
