The broadcast going out over the carrier current lines of the Canadian Notional Telegraphs did not interfere with the handling of commercial messages along those lines, since ten reessages can travel at the sante time along the wires of this system.

The British Broadcast - lee Company's transmitters, the Cana- em beam service, the trans-Atlantic telephone and the Continental tele- ' pitene services were used to carry the re, -al message of peace into millions of Homes throughout the wide world. Many stories are told of tl:e court- ships that preceded the royal mar- riages. There was the young prince who went to visit his` princess carry- ing his own suitcase and traveling (to preserve incognito) in a second class railway coach. There was the prin- cess who rode horseback every day, brilliantly and sometimes recklessly, because royal command kept he plan of her choice at a post where riding was both a duty and a diversion. And there was .another princess who wept and declined to see the suitor waiting patiently in .tn antechamber, only to change her mina later and marry him. Less than a year ago royalty flocked to Oslo to see Crown Prince Olaf of Norway married to Princess Martha of Swedon. More than 1,800 guests filled the church. The bride entered on the arm of her father, Prince Carl, and took her seat in a gold chair at the right of the altar. She wore a Plain caress of .silver lame, with a magnificent twelve -foot train heavily overlaid with silver embroidery. The eight bridesmaids who walked behind her were in azure. blue dresses. The bridegroom worn the plain blue tini- form of an infantry lieutenant, with a sash of lighter blue. After the wed- ding the young couple drove away from the church along an avenue of ice pillars from the top of which huge torches flamed. Showers of blossoms fell from windows along the route, while crowds hurled streamers or pa- per ane gaily colored ribbon. Few royal weddings have aroused more enthusiasm than that of Princess Mary, King George's only daughter, to Lord Lascelles. The cerehnonyr at his- toric Westminster Abbey was per- formed by scarlet -robed prelates. The bride in a white gown richly embroid- ered with gold, wore the blue Order of the Garter sparkling with dia- monds. The same order appeared across the scarlet tunic of the bride- groom, who wore the uniform of . the Grenadier Guards. - • After the ceremony • the wedding party drove back to Buckingham Pal- ace, where the bride cut the cake, not with the groom's sword, but with an ordinary silver cake knife. A shower of silyer slippers, and confetti in the shape of horseshoes followed the de- parting couple. • Only Ring George, it is said, throw ric . in the good old - Science and Invention Conquors All Corners of dile Earth UNDER COMMANDERSHIP OF BYRD THIS PLANE FLEW OVER SOUTH POLE Fuselage et Ford plane, Floyd Bennet, which fiew to South Pole, being hauled from edge of lee barrier to head- quarters of expedition at Little Amerlea. for Prince Christopher were . then Wheat Pool Officials Going to Soldiers' Pensions former King of Greece- England Crown Prince of Italy, and George II.,' Though royalty has lost some of, Winnipeg.—How e, more regular its prestige since the World W'ar, movement of 'wheat to British ports "Easier to Steal Than rind m, Job,” Wares i ayes roof Daring Burglar, Only T-wenty* One Years Old, Is Round- ed Up in West Winnipeg. --The Winnipeg police have solved the mystery surrounding a strange burglar, known as the "hardboiled one," because in a recent burglary perpetrated in this city, a few days before Christmas, he had the nerve 1 use a church building as the spot in which to open a safe and se- cure his loot•. A similar case had not previously been known in Winnipeg. The burglar in question is James Stewart, who, in the Winnipeg police court, pleaded guilty to seven charges of breaking and entering after being; caught burglarizing a Piggly-Wiggly; store in the central part of the city. Stewart is only 21 years of age, but, in his criminal operations, the detee4 tives say, displayed a hardihood anct. coolness not to be expect(' from a mere youth. On the night of Dec, 10 the office. of the Suburban Rapid Transit Co„ in the %vest end of the city, was the scene of a spectacular burglary; The company had a small safe which was, missing from its accustomed place when clerks opened the office the fol- lowing morning. The .seine morning the caretaker of the Parkview United church nearby found that during the preceding nigh'' the sacred edilce had been used for an unusual purpose. The battered re- mains of a safe, subsequently identi- fied as the property of the Suburban Rapid Transit Co., stood in the chan- cel. Detectives found the safe had been opened with an axe and its con- tents, $400 in cash, removed. Packages of papers which had been in the safe had been opened, and were scattered over the church. Then Stewart was arrestd at the Piggly-Wiggly store, where lie was surprised while opening another safe,;;•: he realized that his criminal career was temporarily at an end ani accom- panied the police officers to his room where articles were found which con- nected him with the Transit Cc. break. Stewart, who claims London, Eng- Iand, as his birthplace, told the police he had been five years in Canada and that before coining west three years ago he had been empltyed in Montreal. He says he stole because it was "easier to steal than find a job." To Be Early Issue royal . marriages and their principals can be maintained will be discussed Major C. S.
