HOLLOW LAUGH
(N.Z. Press Assn. —Copyright) LONDON, Aug. 31 A London woman named Frankenstein is haring her telephone number changed and made ex-directory; she is tired of jokers who ring up and ask to speak to the monster. Mrs Frankenstein is the widowed 90-year-old sister of the late Sir Ernest Oppenheimer, the mining magnate. But Mrs Frankenstein has no intention of changing her name. Her niece said today: “Practical jokers are constantly ringing up and making stupid remarks. “My aunt’s name has been an occasional source of embarrassment for a long time. Other members of the Frankenstein family have changed their names, but she is proud enough to want to keep hers.”
