Later Royal Blood Of King Dates From Solomon In the person of England's King is embodied the complete record of a nation's evolution, for in the his- tory of his descent, he is more com- pletely a representative of the pec plc than those subjects are themsel- ves fully aware of. Something from every royal house in European his- tory has is-tory.has gone into the snaking of this young man, who now appears to the world as typically English. Through his great grandfather, the prince' consort, and through the mar- riages of the Georges, he is con- nected with the Nordic races of Eur- ope, By the mother of George I he belongs to the Stuarts; by Queen Margaret of Scotland, he is a Tudor and by Owen Tudor he is Welsh. ,Through the wife of Henry VII and by • the mother of Henry VIII he is descended from John of Gaunt. By Eli- zabeth of York he is a Plantagenet. and by the Empress Maud he is of Norman' descent, . By the Queen of Hehry I, a Scot; ,by the Queen of Ring Malcolm he inherits the blood of Athelstan and of Alfred', the Great, and through them he claims his des- cent from those hero, gods of the Sax GAME LAWS OPEN SEASONS Plucks, ,Geese (other than Brant) Rails, Coots, Wilsons or Jade -Snipe.

From his grandmother, Alexandra, he is of the Danish line of King Can- ute and through Queen Mary he claims his descent from the Great Charlemangne, whose traditi nal des- cent goes back to the House of Troy. According to Irish and Scotch an- nals, a line through Kenneth 1VIcAl-. pin, King of Scotland, takes him back to the early kings of Ireland, one of whom is said to have married the daughter of King Zedekiah of Jerus- alem, and so giving George VI an an- nestry,datingfrons King Solomon. With such an ancestry, there must be relatively few of the present mon- arch's subjects who cannot find `in their lineage a connecting link with his own. To understand this is to understand more completely the pg- culiarly close relationship between the king and the people of Great Britain. Firmest of the cement -is that be- tween Scotland • and England,_ for Scots never forget that it was their king who became King of England, Janes I, thus uniting England and Scotland and not vice versa, Being of mixed races themselves, Englishmen have made another race out of the melting pot—the neo Bri- tish. And \their King is in •a very true sense the symbol of the destiny of the people, and is perhaps the real reason why the throne is a spir- itual necessity to the nation's faith in herself,—N. Y. Sun. If you drive recklessly and have not made up your mind to stop it, you are going to find yourself in serious trouble — soon! The Department of Highways is determined to put reckless drivers off the road and keep therm off. If you need your car in business, stop and think for a minute what would happen if you had your driving license cancelled. You might lose your job. But what is your job compared to the death, crippling, or injuring of a good citizen ! Reckless drivers are criminals going along our highways breaking laws,maiming and killing defenseless people. Our laws are adequate and fair. Obey them and you will keep out of trouble; break them and take the consequences. You cannot say you have not been warned. Stop speeding! Stop cutting in ! Stop passing on hills. Stop taking �' chances of any kind. If you must drive slower than the average traffic, keep well to the right side of the highway or use the side roads. Do not block other traffic. ®NTA 10 'e OT4 ; .TSTS WILL CO -,t! y}, to put reckless drivers where they belong. Here is what to do.

NATURE has a mysterious way of creating patterns, designs. She seems to abhor plainness as much as she abhors a vacuum. • Consider that every cell that is the, substance of matter'is fashioned in some ki)rd of pattern. The snow- flake has a pattern. Liquids' crystal - Bo in .patterns. The wind arranges snow drifts inpatterns as it does the sand on dunes and deserts.,The tide goes out and leaves the sea bottom' rippled with designs. Calm . water disturbed' makes rhythmic designs on its surface. Shadows make pat- terns. Leafy boughs against the sky, moss on the rocks, tiger'skins, wings of birds -what is there unadorned with some kind of pattern? Nature is full of them, evidences 00 a seeming purpose to maintain rhythm, beauty and order in the universe. Man imi- tates'them, consciously or uncon- sciously, in nconsciously,in the structures he builds, the materials he fabricates and the order irk which he places things. klave you ever thought of pat- terns, nature's and man's, as sub- jects for a camera hobby ?Some cam- era artists have made prize pictures of patterns. It's a way'to obtain new pleasure from the world about you. It requires, first, skill' in seeing pat- terns. They are so common that only the exceptionally obvious ones, like those in sea sand, are likely to be• noticed by a person not looking for them. These we call curious, but gaze up through a skyscraper in the •bourse of construction or go• down to the waterfront and study the patterns that the masts and rig- ging of ships make against the sky._ Watch for shadow designs' made by ordinary objects, such as a picket, fence, or a cartwheel. Thele are the kinds that only the, purposeful ob- server is likely to notice. For him, patterns that may be caught with a camera are everywhere. Plump a• stone into a pool or:spill a box at matches on the table and you have • one made to order for you. Go pattern hunting with your cam- • era. Taking such pictures challenges • your photographic Skill and you veil! • tied that both your album 'and your • mind will be enriched thereby. 140 Johnevan Guilder. .
