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. People forget that, as a sub -
Lieutenant, he was on active service
duffing the Battle of Jutland, anal,
Inter, was promoted to be wing coin -

bered that he is a student of eeon-
conics and a frequent visito_- to in-

The Duke of York was the first
prince of the blood to examine in per-

and every year he attencts a camp

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."

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.

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.

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.

Nothing makes a fellow feel so good
as the nice things they say- about him

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 -

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-

Clerk of the Court—"Bigamy, your

Voice in the Courtroom—"That ain't
bigamy. That's trigonometry."

added comfort of seeing things just
where they really are, it was ex-

Feinbloom predicted his discovery
would enable the usands of people now

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."

for persons who formerlb* were "shut-
