New York.—Italy is going to add
something of her own particular cul-
ture to 33 young Americana of Italian
descent who have already made their
mark In the educational centers of this
country. The group sailed from New
York the other day on an Italian
steamship, guests of the Italian gov-
ernment. They were selected because
of the high standing they have
achieved In high schools, colleges and
universities of this country, and while
they are in Italy they will visit muse-
ums, art granaries, churches and pal-
aces, and have an opportunity to
study and appreciate the art of their
own land. They can all read and write
Italian fluently. They are bearing
with them a bronze wreath to be placed
on the tomb of Dante in honor of the
anniversary celebration. In spite of
their keen interest In seeing the land
of their fathers, they didn’t want any
misunderstanding about their own
nationality. “Maybe you won’t come
back?*’ said one reporter, as they were
going aboard. An almost Beared look
came over, several faces at such a
possibility. “Oh! Yes! We are Ameri-
cans: We return to our country,"
they insisted.

Melissa, Aug >. — Melissa has just
about erased the scars of the cyclone
of April, 13, which swept down upon
the little "black land" community of*
Collin county, almost entirely effac-
ing the business district, destroying
seventy-five residences and taking a
toll of ten lives and injuring many.
Last week saw the last of the debris
removed. Only tile barren lot* whose
buildings were raxed by the twister

tery remain fo tell of the passing of
the storm. On several of the lots
where building* were tom down by the

have been erected and on others there
are buildings under construction.
Thursday of last week saw the last of
the debris removed. A small army of

the Blue Bonnet oiub served lunch to
the tired and dirty workers. They

On the morning of April 14 the scene
of desolation which presented itself
to the Melissa folks who survived the
twister of the afternoon before would
have shaken the faith of person* not
so strong as these Collin county peo-

DENY STORY THAT LLOYD

Ungo-Leepej
Paris, Aug. 8.— Statements made
here this afternoon on apparently good
authority that Mr. Lloyd George, the
British prime minister had announced
his decision not to go to the United
States to attend the disarmament con-
ference in Washington opening No-
vember 11 were given official denial
this afternoon. The British delega-
tion.attending the allied supreme coun-
cil here authorised the following com-
munication:
“There absolutely Is no truth In the
report that Mr. Lloyd George has
stated he will not go to the Washing-
ton conference on November 11.’’
The British premier's secretary ad-
ded:
“The point is that the British cabi-
net has not yst considered the per-
sonnel of the British delegation to the
Washington conference.”

ARGENTINE FLYER REACHE8
ALTITUDE OF 26,000 FIET
Buenos Aires—Eduardo Ollvero, an
Argentine flying man who served in
the Italian army during the war in
which he attained the rank of cap-
tain and won five medals, has Just set
a new South American flying record
for altitude by attaining a height of
28,240 feet.
He may have gone higher, for 8,000
meters was the most the instrument
would register and Ollvero lost con-
sciousness for some time on attaining
this height. The record height was
reached in one hour and fifteen min-
utes.
The flight was made In exception-
ally cold weather. The machine
used was an Italian biplane.
