The Prince of Wales has been un­ der tho guard of Scotland Yard ever Bince he was a baby. He was born at White Lodge, Which is situated in a lonely spot on the uplands of Rich­ mond Park, about eight miles beyond London. During tho Prince’s babyhood two plain-clothes men fromc the ^ard ac­ tually lived at White Lodge and were on duty about tho grounds whenever the Prince was taken out by liis nurses.

Queen Victoria was not in the direct line j)£ succession as a baby, but later, when she did come into the direct line, she wds very carefully guarded. On one occasion, when she was. six­ teen, there was a rumor of a plot to kidnap her, and for three days she was .kept indoors at Kensington Pal­ ace, al the entrances to which - were guarded by plain-clothes detectives. In one of her letters Princess Victoria later wrote of her "three dreadful days’ imprisonment.” The Russian Waifs The first question and the second, third and fourth questions put to any one returning from Moscow is, “How about the wild children?” On November 6 the' New York Times published photographs of these waifs which Mr. E. M. Newman took ln the streets of Moscow. They are entirely accurate, though, of course, not the whole truth. The pathetic youngsters are as the photographs show them — bare-foot, unspeakably dirty, clad ln the most tragic rags. They sleep ln doorways in the cellars of ruined houses, in tar barrels, and they live by begging and stealing and using their hunger sharpened hobo wits. And many of them are drug addicts. Mr. Walter Duranty, the Times cor­ respondent in Moscow, tells us about a Soviet newspaper which brands these photographs as a lie and repro­ duces along with these- "lies,” photo­ graphs of the “truth”—photographs of the wild children being washed and fed and put to bed between .sheets. Mr. Durant showed this "exposure” to several Communists, who laughed at ita absurdity and agreed that Mr. NewmaB’s photographs wore just " ’what every one can see for himself on the streets. Both sots of photographs are true. The waifs are constantly being round­ ed up by the Soviet authorities, who ar^ just as much ^worried by the pro blem as we are, but some of the waifs large enough to go On causing worry ns constantly run away to the streets again. Four -or five years ago there| were about two million of them over Russia; now there are said be only three hundred thousand, chiding the irreducible minimum incurable little vagabonds whom Government could induce to stay put,...w.i-nrn-r ji ii.iii V ' Those who delight in emphasizing national differences sometimes forget that while Americans say it red, Whltd and blue, and Fronchmen blue, whltO and fed, tho colors are the Same- s and see that they come to no harm. Another member of the crew is Mr. Bonnett, of the Gaumont Co., who is coming along with his cameras to se­ cure a pictoral record of our adven­ tures. He will be able to picture not only what the earth looks like from above, but, by means of the various cockpits in the hull, ourselves flying this giant craft over Africa. Now we come to the. sixth member of our crew, my wife, who is going on this flight to help me out with all the hundreds of things that I have to think of, not only in connection with the flight organization, but the vari­ ous negotiations that I hope to con­ duct in connection with the through air route. From a Woman’® Viewpoint. Shells going with me on this big flight more or less In the ^plrit of the explorer’s wife. In all my previous journeys, owing to lack of accommo­ dation, it has not been possible for me to take my wife with me. My wife will be dble to give me Im­ pressions of the journey from a wo- man’t point of view, which will be ex­ tremely helpful in the planning of an air liner where the comfort of women passengers will be even more import­ ant than that of the men. In brief, our objects ar as follows: To prove to the world, the utility of the- flying-yacht, and to demonstrate the practicability of all-metal con­ struction. Secondly, we are going to survey flying-boat conditions from the Mediterranean to Central Africa, for we have now joined forces with Cap- ‘tain Gladstone and Mr. Blackburn to In our opinion the alleged uneasi­ ness in Europe is largely due to too much rattling of the olive-branch.— punch. The King of Pain—Mmard’® Liniment What is tlie object of my 20,000 miles cruise round Africa, on which I shall be accompanied by my wife? Firstly, we are going to try to stimulate the whole of Africa to the possibilities of air routes. We hope that when we have finished our cruise we shal have ascertained the right type of aircraft for the work and the correct route over which to run, and by sound propaganda and negotiations have laid the foundation of the future air route from Egypt to South Africa. A Pioneer Effort. □ We are taking the largest all-metal flying-boat in the world, because we want to find’ out if flying-boats are a practical proposition for operating on that 2,500 miles route up the waters of the Nile from the Mediterranean to Central-Africa. Again, wo want to come home from South Africa via the West Coast, and as aerodromes will be few and far between, we consider the flying-boat the only practical way of doing the job. It must be bOrne in mind that this is a pioneer reconnaissance flight, more or less over uncharted territory from a flying-boat point ot view. Should we have any trouble it must be remembered that we are trying out a flying-yacht in strange waters, and that ours will be a pioneer effort, where we may meet with unknown difficulties, with no ground organiza­ tion to assist us, and such troubles as would never be experienced on a regular air route. Largest In the World. Before going any further I must you something about our craft start with/ she is called the Short- Rolls-Royce Flying Boat, because she 1b manufactured by Short Bros, of Rochester, and fitted with two Rolls- Royce engines of 700 h.p.' each. The craft la all built, of metal, and, inci­ dentally, la the first al-metal British flying-boat and happens to be the largest of its kind in the world. She is nearly a hundred feet in span and ' over sixty feet in length, and wheu fully loaded weighs nearly ten tons, j Jnaldo the spacious hulll there is a large cabin provided with beds, work­ bench, vice, and tool-lockers. There Is also a chart desk where the navi­ gator can work out his courses, and ther are cupboards for food and stor­ age blns for first-aid. In fact, we are equipped like any seafaring yacht. We are a yacht that flies, being seaworthy as wel as airworthy. Filming .the Great-Flight. Once off the water we can keep In the air for twelve hours and cruise at a speed of elghty-five miles an hour. Thus we can cover a thousand miles without landing. Our engines, each one of which Is about twice as powerful as the aver­ age railway-engine, are water-cooled, and between them will consume about half a gallon of patrol per mile. That means that four pints of spirit will give the motive power to carry our1 ten-ton aerial yacht, through the air at nearly ninety miles per hour for a mile. Altogther, I expect we shall use up petrol amounting to a total of 100,- 000 gallons. From the winter cold of tho British Isles we are flying away to the warmth of Africa. While our friends are shiv­ ering in tho cold and damp atmos­ phere of England we may be in tho scorching hoat of the Southern Sudan where wo shall be unable to face the wind owing to tho burning heat. It may Interest my readers to know that, In my opinion, Egypt will be­ come in tlie near future the main junction for some of the world's great­ est air routes, for eastward is the air­ way to Bagdad, India, Singapore, and Australia; southward is the way to Kenya, Rhodesia, and South Africa, The crow of our craft numbers six. In addition to myself, there is an as* slstaht pilot, Captain Worrall. The Short-Rolls-Royce 1ms two pilots’ seats with dual control, so that we call relievo one another at ‘the wheel during flight. Thus, with one hour on and one hour off, the time in the air will pass quickly, and I can write dispatches and keep records -during flight.

Q Why do so many, many babies of to­ day escape all the little fretful spells and Infantile ailments that used to worry mothers through the day, and keep them up half the night? If you don’t know thevanswer, you haven’t discovered pure, harmless Castoria. It is BWCet to the taste, and sweet in the little stomach. And its gentle Influence seems felt all through the tiny system. Not even a distasteful dose of castor oil does so much good. Fletcher’s Castoria is purely vege­ table, so you may give it freely, at first sign of colic; or constipation; or diarrhea. Or those many times when you just don’t know what is the mat­ ter. For real sickness, call the doctor, always. At other times, a few drops of Fletcher’s Castoria. The doctor often tells you to do just that; and always says Fletcher’s. Other preparations may be just as pure, just as free from dangerous drugs, but why experiment? Besides, the book on care and feeding of babies that comes with Fletcher’s Castoria is worth its weight In gold! all to ln- of no Wha,t many people call indigestion very often means excess acid in the stomach. The stomach nerves have been over-stimulated, and food sours. The corrective Is an alkali, which neu­ tralizes acids Instantly. And the best alkali known to medical science is Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia, It has re­ mained the standard with physicians in the 50 years slnco its invention. One spoonful of this harmless, taste- less alkali in water will neutralize in­ stantly many times qs much acid, find the symptoms disappear at once. You will never use crude methods when once you learn tlm efficiency of this. Go get a small bottle to try. Be sure to get the genuine Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia prescribed by physi­ cians for 50 years in correcting excess acids. Bach bottle contains full direc­ tions—any drugstore.
