The reason of this lei that the princess is in the direct line of succession, to the throne and, according to the rules of the Yard, must be guarded, Every night in tithe ;ordinary. way Scotland Yard 18 notified of the move- ments of the King and `Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of York for the following day, the movements of the Princess Eliza beth are. now included in the note (118- -Patched every night from 145 Picea- dilly" to ,lbs Yard by the duke's secre- tary or'aque.-iy. : No speoial,nrrangements for "guard- 'Mg" guard- 'ing" the princess, however, are made except when she is wheeled out in her "pram" in Hyde Park. When this hap- Pells two Yard, men are detailed to keep an eye on the princess, Recent- ly a photographer not attached to any Paper asked' the nurses to allow him to "shoot" the princeas, Even Photographers Barred. Hardly had the photographer begun to speak to the nurse than the two plain -clothes 'men :from the Yard came up to him and ordered him away. Even if 110 had been attached to .the stall of a London paper he would probably not have been permitted to get the photograph he desired, for the princess's nurses have orders not to gave any facilities to press photo- graphers to snap the princess without special permission from the duke or duchess. The Prince of Wares -ilea been un- der the guard of Scotland Yard ever since he was: a baby. He was born at. White Lodge, which ie situated in a lonely spot on the uplands of Rich- mond Park, about eight miles beyond London. During the Prince's babyhood . two plain -clothes men from the Yard ac- tually lived at White Lodge and were on duty about the grounds whenever the Prince was taken out by his nurses. This was done to safeguard against any possible attempt to kid- nap the Prince. Called Guards, "Nurses." The Prince has a.collectlon of photo.' graphs, one of which depicts him at the age of six standing with two plain -clothes men. The. Prince him- self wrote under the photograph, "David with his two nurses." King George as a baby was never In the direct line of succession to the throne, and he did not become official- ly guarded by Scotland Yard until he was eighteen. Queen Victoria was hot in the direct line of succession as a baby, but later, when she did come into the direct line, she was very carefully guarded. On one occasion, when she was six- teen, there was a rumor of. a .pica to kidnap her, and for three days she Was kept fndoorb . 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. It1, M. Newman, took in 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 in the most tragic rags. They sleep in doorways in the cellars of ruined houses, in tar barrels, and theylive 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 axile and repro- duces aloft,with these ""lies," photo- graphs ot"jie "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 ite absurdity and agreed that Mr. Newman's .photographs were just what every one can see for himself on the streets.' Both sets of photographs are true, •.The waifs are constantly being round- ed up by the Soviet authorities, who are juet as nnich worried by the pro- ' bleu as we are, but some of the waifs, -large enough to go on causing worry, as constantly runaway to the streets again. , Fouror five years ago' there were about two million of them all over Russia; now there are said to be only threeshundled thousand, ,ite eluding the :Irreateible minirnum of incurable little .vagabonds whom 110 Government c stay put, Quid induce to Those who delight in emphasizing stational differences sometimes forget that while Americans say it red, white and blue, and Frenchmen blue, white and red, the eelors aro the same. If Year Daughter Shows Sins of Anaemia a Tonic IS 'Needed; Anaemia is simply a lack of blood. It is one of the moat common and at the same time ,most dangerous trou- bles from which growing girls stiffer, Itis common beeauso the blood so of- ten becomes lmpoverialied eating de- velopment, when girls often overwork and overstudy. III is dangerous bo-,. cause of the stealthiness of its ap- proach and because of its tendency to grow steadily worse. Every growing. girl should occasionally take a tonic to ward .off thfa insidious trouble, . It is because of their powerful action in rebuilding the blood that Dr. Wil- liatns' Pink Pills have made a world- wide reputation. The case of Miss Claire Sullivan, Pincher Creek, Alta., ; amply proves the value of this medi- cine. Miss Sullivan says; "During MY 1 school days I suffered a .great deal; from titin and watery blood. I was continually weak and: tired; my iappe'- tite was poor, my sleep unrefreshing and I was troubled with •backaches. To make matters. worse I was attack - l ed with acute appendicitis • and the operation left me in, a very weakened' state, My mother, learning of the value of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, had Me take them, and after using them for some timo I can say the rsult was simply wonderful, as they completely restored my health, and now, when op- portunity occurs I always recommend these pills to weak, pale girls suffer- ing' as I did," A Hundred -Foot Jump d fantastic iruv'al; ,probably by 11; G.

Adventuring -With the Wife! By Sir Alan Cobham, K,ii,E., A.P.C..1 What: is the object of my 20,000 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 pietoral record of our adven- tures, Ise will be able to picture not only what the .earthlooks like from above, but, by means of the various cockpits in the lull, ourselves flying this giant craft over Africa. miles cruise round Africa, on 'which: I shall beaccompanied' by my wife? Firstly, we, are goipg to try to stimulate the whole• of Africa to the possibilities of air routes. We -hope that when we have finished our cruise we shat 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, we want, to come home from South Africa via the West Coast, and as aerodromes will be few and far between,• we consider theflying-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 of 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 tell you something about . our craft To start with, she Is called the Short - Rolls -Royce Flying Boat, because she ism manufactured by Short Bros, of Rochester, and fitted with two Rollo - Royce engines of 700 h.p. each. The craft is all built of metal, and, -inci- dentally, 1a the' first al -metal British flying-jioat 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 when fully loaded weighs nearly ten tons. , Inside the spacious hull! 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 bis coursee, and ther are. cupboards for food and stor- age bins for first-aid. In fact, we are equipped like' any seafaring yacht. We are a yacht that fifes, being seaworthy as wel as airworthy. • Fuming the Great Flight.. Once off the water we can keep in the airfor twelve hours and cruise at a speed of eighty-five miles an hour. Thus we San 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 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's Viewpoint. She is going with me on this big flight more or less in the epfrit of the explorer's wire. 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 able 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 [ThBLBY "is good to ' The Orange Pekoe is extra. goad 12 In clean, bright Aluminum bring about a, Cairo to Genya • air route. Then we hope to negotiate with the Governments concerned to bring about the through African air 11ne, This dight could never have come about' had not the aircraft' industry taken a broad view;, and thus Messrs. Short Bros, and Rolls-Royce have borne much of the, heavy expenditure in connection with the expedition,, which was ultimately made possible by the generosity of Sir Charles Wakefield.
