What is regarded as a deliberate attempt to murder a European woman resident of Utakamand, a hill town in South India, is reported by the police there. Going to a desk in her home to look, for a paper, she was confronted, as site raised the lid of the desk, by a huge cobra. The snake reared its head and struck viciously at her. She leaped back and just missed the deadly fangs of the reptile. A neighbor was attracted by her icreains for help. He rushed in and hot the snake. There are no cobras in that region, and the police are endeavoring to learn who brought the sn4ke there and for what purpose. They are convinced that a deliberate effort was made to murder the woman but so far have been unable to get any clew to the strange case. The woman says siie knows of no one who would seek her death nor can the authorities ascertain who placed the poisonous reptile where it was found. two-thir- , pnb-Ks- h. i d Treat Flivvers Like Dogs in This 01 Town Buffalo, N.

About a year ago Prince Louis Ferdinand made his appearance at Hollywood, becoming one of the social lions of the film .colony. At the time beautiful film stars made much of the prince, but he proved adamant to their blandishments, with the exception of one, the charming Lily Damita, the French star and Broadway musical comedy favorite. But Lily Damita refused to consider him as a lover and a husband. In a recent interview in Paris, Lily Damita said: "The prince is a nice boy in every way, a charming and interesting far above the average companion, youths of foreign nobility, but he is not my Prince Charming and I cannot imagine him being so ever.
