Zurich Herald, 1933-01-12, Page 7Gt. Britain's Royal. Family Children of King George Form Loyal Group Amid Artificiality By P. W. WILSON, in the N. Times Magazine, For the House of Windsor, as for the lest of the world, time asses quickly. It is ten years sieve Prin- cess Mary . was married to Viscount Lascelles, now Earl of Iiareweo4. ati years have elapsed since the chimes of Westminster Abbey were rung for the Duke of York and his bride, Mary Elizabeth Bowes -Lyon. Che matchmakers are much excited, :herefore, over the pretty your g Prin- :ess Irgrid of Sweden, who has visit - :d London. His Majesty. King George V. :teas tc face a fact unusual in royal fami- lies. He has five surviving children. All but one have passed the age of 30. Yet only two are married, and one of these is the Princess Mary. Of the four sons, three are bachelors. It was hoped against hope that the Prince of Wales, now approaching the forties, might find his second cousin 4 long -sought Queen to share his pros- pects of the i.jrone. The Prince, how= ever, continues to be satisfied with the privilege of attending we:lcrings as best man Mary knew tier business is a would allow nothing a= d nobody to inter- fere with the normal life of her home. She insisted that her sons, though Princes, must be boys like other boys; that her daughter, though a Princess, must be a girl among girls. `There, in York Cottage at Sand- ringham, the family lived as a family, in a modest house and without osten- tation. For years the future Queen was never seen at all by the crowds of London. She was otherwise oc- cupied. The children dug in their gardens, they played cricket, they ecce, taken by their mother to visit places like till 'Tower of London; they were taught by their tutors, they said their prayers, Efiey attended church, they learned the catechism, and they were familiarized with the Bible. bove all, they were mace to rea- lize their relat:on to the community. From time to time toys were shared with the poor, and at bir.thc:rys and Christmas all cakes, after cote enjoy- : exit, were -cut up and distributed. In the minds of those children the dyn- asty was established on a firm 'foun- ::ation of duty to the nation. * * * Billions of words have been writ- ten of the humor, the gayet•e, the tact, the persistence, the courage, the pat- riotism and the obstinacy of the Prince of Wales, who to this day has laver failed to be prolific in para- graphs. What if they did assign two Huge detectives to dog the infant foot- steps of the Prince? He hau himself photographed between them and en titled the picture, "My Nurses." What if the cadets at Dartmouth called him "Sardine"? He replied to them on the banjo. "I do not mind being killed in France," said he to Lord Kitchener; "I have plenty of brothers to carry on." To which the Field Marshal re- torted'`'grimly: "I do not mind you being killed, but I cannot allow you to be taken prisoner." And to Lord JIaig the whereabouts of "the boy" day by day becamean obsession. Not for an instant does the Prince seem to he at a loss. The Mayor of sa loyal borough forgot his part and stammered, "We welcome your Royal Highness not only—not only—" There was an unearthly silence. "Nos only," ,continued the prince calmly, "for the sake of the ancient throne which you represent, but also for your own sake" —and the Mayor was saved frons ' uicide. The illness et the Icing and the economic erisis, taken together, have changed the Prince of Wales, bath in mind and in appearance. He talks no longer of throwing up the whole busi- ness unless he is allowed to live his own life, but appears on the plat- form, serious and determiner;, as he re ges the nation to "buy British." Educated' like the Prince of Wales at the Royal Naval College, Dart- mouth, the Duke of York -nervous on the platform. has' had to overcome a shy temperament and indifferent health.

Twice he proposed to his future Duchess and twice he was refused.

RUNS UPSTAIRS AT 92 Daughter's Pride in Active Father "I feel in duty bound,," writes Mrs. A. J. W„ "to expre:;s my gratitude for the marvellous results my father has obtained from Kruschen Salts. They should really be called 'Miracles." He is ninety-two years old, and Is as fit as a fiddle. He can nip about, and run up and down stairs. His friends mar- vel why it is be is always alert, and never feels slaek. He always tells them the reason, 'my regular daily dose of Kruschen Salts every morn-. ing.' We always recommend Krus- chen Salts to all our friends. To n}y. Idea no family should be without it." --(Mrs.) A. J. W. Most people grow old long before their time because they neglect one vital need of health—the need for in- ternal cleanliness, Eventually they start the healthy Kruschen habit. Then they start getting rid every day of all waste natter from the system. New, healthy blood goes coursing through the veins. A.i1 almost mediately they feel their youth has returned; they feel young, energetic and happy. In a word, they've got that famous "Kruschen Feeling." Whitehall, it is for reasons of health. The suggested wedding ran hardly be said to affect the succession. The throne today would pass thus: (1). Prince of Wales; (2) Duke of York;. (3) Princess Elizabeth, eldest daugh- ter of the Duke of York; (4) Prin- cess Margaret Rose, seconi daughter a: the Duke of York; (5) Duke of Gloucester, and (6) Prince George. Also, if there were further children born to the Duke of York, or if the Dyke of Gloucester married and had children, all of these weirs would pre- -d'e le Prince George and his children. On the other hand, Prince George and his family would precede Princess Mary and her two boys, the Lascel- lar•, now at Eton. With every year that passes, the Princess Elizabeth of York—known as Lilibet-who has celebrated her sixth birthday, draws the greater crowd. The people are as eager to see her as they are -to seethe King and Queen themselves. And for a siva' , reason. Daily she becomes more inportaut. She can only be deprived of the succession by a younger 1 other if, in due course, he should arrive. Her sister, Margaret Rose, born amid a tempest in the historic stronghold of Glamis Castle, is only second to Elizabeth in her nearness to the throne. This royalfamily, founded afresh or a human basis, depending for the first time on purely hu;nan values, apse, regarding pageantry;and privil- ege and pedigree as factors subordi- nate to the normalcies which are com- mon to all families, is thus consider- ing one more event in its age -long an- nals.

French Court Upholds Noisy Critic of Fihn Paris.—Spectators at public enter- tainments and at theatreshave a legal right to demonstrate their disapproval by whistling and shouting, according to judgment just rendered by the Civil Tribunal of St. Etienne, near Lyons. The case as one of a spectator who, having loudly protested against the quality of a motion picture perform- ance, was refused admission to an- other show by the proprietor of the cinema on the grounds that his be- havior interferedwith the perform - antes. The judgment of the French tribun- al states that "the act of criticizing the poor organization of an en'tea' tainment, even when done noisily, can be construed as the legal exercise of right to criticize, and the manifesta- tion of dissatisfaction cannot serve as a pretatt by the director of a. theatre for refusing to admit • a !spectator." The einem proprietor was sentenced to pay 100 ;francs damages. airs. Frazzle (gushingly): "D' ou know, Mr. Qrimleiglh, I'm often mistak- en for my daughter." i Mr. Grimleigh (gallantly); "By joys!

"Jim will be in the hospital a long time," "Why, have you seen the doctor?" "No, the nurse," His Little Slam Wife—"So you think my new ball gown looks like the deuce?" Hub -"In the card sense, my dear. The deuce, you know, is the lowest possible cut." Face the Sun Don't hunt after trouble, But look for success; You'll find what you look for; Don't look for distress. If you see but your shadow, Remember, I pray, That the sun is still shining, But you're in the way. Don't grumble, don't, bluster, Don't dream, and don't shirk; Don't think of your worries, But think of your work. The worries will vanish, The work will be done; No man faces his shadow Who faces the sun, Spasms Never interrupt your wife when she is telling you something for your own good. Let us whisper it, girls; but the man who writes the best love letters doesn't necessarily make the best hus- band. In these fickle times, a love af- fair seldom outlasts one application of lipstick. The fish we catch are usual- ly the most expensive ones that we eat. She — "Oh John! How could you! This is lemon pie." Nothing makes a fellow feel so good as the nice things they say- about him at his funeral. A Scotch clergyman noted for his thrifty habits sent a telegram to a parishioner on her wedding day. The message read: "John IV., 18." On look - in upthe text the girl washorrified g at these lines: "For thou hast had Svc husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not. thy husbjnnl." _ . .After they had restored the young woman to consciousness, inquiry was made at the telegraph office, and it was found that the operator had omit- ted the letter or numeral indicating the first Epistle. John I. IV. 18 reads: "There is no fear in love, • but perfect love casteth out fear." The fact that a man toots his own horn does not necessarily mean or in- dicate that he is a musician. Judge — "And what is this man charged with?" Clerk of the Court—"Bigamy, your Honor. He's got three wives." Voice in the Courtroom—"That ain't bigamy. That's trigonometry."

Latest Discovery Permits Nearly Blind to See Chicago. ---Dr. William^ Feinbloom of New York has announced a dis- covery here which he said will bring back normal sight to thoteands of per- sons now practically blind• Feinbloom's discovery is a new type telescopic lens which will enable per- sons with as little as two per cent. sight to see as well as they could with cad -type telescopes, but with the added comfort of seeing things just where they really are, it was ex- plained. Feinbloom predicted his discovery would enable the usands of people now r',ependent upon charity to become in- dependent. "The old -type telescopic spectacles and common opera and field glasses are exactly alike in that both are made of spherical lenses which mag- aify and appear to bring the object nearer," Feinbloom said in explaining his discovery. "Application of the new cylindrical lenses into these same glasses magni- fies the object but the .distance bee tween the observer and the object.re- n:ainsthe same. "In looking through the new type of telescopie spectacalee, the object viewed is magnified horizontally."
