AND ITS FAMOUS HISTORY

1t is not generally known that the en-
press OF Germany is a full-hedged colonel
OF one of the finest regiments in the vast
army of the empire.
The advent OF the new woman has
nothing to do with the military pTomi-
nence of this lady. The dead and gone
German queens were colonies before the
new woman was ever thought Of. The
dowager empress is also colonel, and
50 are a number of other women of the
royal house of Germany. OF course, their
military standing is largely nominal.
There is not one chance in ten thousand
that these queens and duchesses will ever
do anything more warllke than don a
pretty feminine edition OF the uniform of
favorite regiment ana review the
soldiers on some festival occasion.
That is about all that King William's $
wife does. but her soldiers feel that they
are more honored than the average, and
to be memebr OF the queen regiment
is to be deemed most fortunate piece of
good luck.

diploma has been handed down from
one generation of officers to the next, and
is carefully treasured. Frederick the
Great also decided that the captured bat

sigma of the regiment for all time.
The regiment is the one in which the
reigning family Of Germany takes u
peculiar interest. 1t was founded on
June 1, 1921, by Frederick William |,

Count OF Bayreuth in 1908 it was given
its present title.
In 1908 the famous Empress Louise
took upon herself the title OF colonel of

A great deal of money has been spent
on tine steering gear of Defender. This
has long been source of worry to yacht

has always been obtained by the use of

matter to get enough power at the tiller

Nat Herreshoff has solved the riddle by
the introduction of machine on the De-

Harry Wants 1t.

The fact that the representative of
the Travellers Insurance Company did
not know of any claim filed by Harry
Hayward for the insurance on Miss
Ging's life, may have been his fault, or
it may not. 1t is a fact, however, that
Harry Hayward signed an application
of that sort and that it was signed be-
fore Deputy Phil Megaarden, who took
Harry's acknowledgment to the appli-
cation. 1t was made necessary, too,
by the fact that the time for filing such
an application had almost expired.
Walter Shumaker, Erwin's assistant,
brought over the formal order staying
Hayward's execution, and filed it with
the clerk. When asked as to the in
surance, he replied:
"We don't want to say anything
about that at all; we don't want to be
quoted on that subject"

meetings Held by enthusiastic Young P0O-
pie In Boston.
Boston, July 17.-Monday the four
teenth international convention of the
Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor, one of the most successful
meetings in the history of the society,
closed with meetings in Mechanics
hall and in tents Williston and En-
deavor.
The services of Monday seemed to
have deeper religious feeling than any
that had been held since the first day
of the convention, probably due to the
subsiding of the excitement of the
opening days and the impressive
character of the exercises. Conse-
Grafton was the central thought in
all the score or more of prayer-meetings
that began at GAO, and was, in fact,
the principal subject of the day.
At Tent Endeavor an address bv
Robert E. Speer, of New York, on the
missionary service proved great
drawing card. Mr.. Speer's great work
in missionary fields has made him ia
nous among Christian endeavorers,
and thousands were surprised
at the youth of this leader He is not
yet 80 years old but is veteran in his
chosen work. The morning meetings
in both tents were conducted under
the general title: THE Scholarship of
the World for Christ
At Tent Williston and Mechanics
hall encouraging reports concerning
the religious life in colleges were
made, and in both tents, and the hall,
the roll of honor, upon which was in
scribed the names of $500 endeavorers,
who had given S15O,OOO to missions
during the last year, the largest
amount ever contributed in one year
during the Christian Endeavor move
ment, was simultaneously I'M
rolled. These exercises were &C
companled by suitable addresses.
Rev. w. Z. Biting, ID. D., of New ork.
conducted this exercise in Mechanics
hall; Rev. A. G. Peck, of Denver, in
Williston, and Rev. Ira Landrith, of
Nashville, in Endeavor. The presenta-
ton of banner to the local union for
the best work in promoting systematic
and proportionate giving was made at
