It will be recalled that Lady Diana posed for the motion picture camera in London during the taking of the scenes for Mr. Griffith's "The Great Love," a picture shown in this coun try last year.

The big tournament is being held at the Na/y Range, located along the Parsing River, about four miles from Caldwell. During the heavy rnins recently, a large dam located a short distance north ot the range broke and the entire camp was cov ered with water to a depth of live feet.
