GEORGE DID IT
Eng 'and's Kirg Insisted on Read ing Bills - Winston Church
 hill is Now Non Pers 0l Grata

London, Dec. 9-King George has cut Home Secretary Winston Chur- ch.ll off the list of his acquaintances officially as we'll as socially. If there IS business to pass between them, it must be through an inter- have told Premier Asquith he would never see Secretary Churchill again. As matter of legal right, Asquith might have forced George to revoke this order, but that would have created mighty scandal.
 The quarrel between his Majesty and Churchill is sad to have arisen over personally every State paper submitted to him to sign. Inasmuch as the Home Secretary must have a vast number of papers signed by the King. this entailed great loss of time. So when he laid a big batch of papers on the Kings desk, Chur- chill remarked, sign ficantly, that they were merely routine-which was true-and need not be read. George replied with a solemn rebuike for such careless business methods. Up- on this. Churchill is said to have responded tartly that the Kings bus mess was to sign what papers his 1t really made no particular differ ence whether he ever read any of them.
 Instantly. so the gossips say, His Majesty bounded out of his chair with a flow of that language he learned in his early days in the Royal Navy, and ordered Churchill out of the place-ordered him to stay out, too. as long as George V was on the throne.
 Churchill is not the only one of King Edwards favorites who has practically been banished from court. most of them, though. saw what was coming and went of their own accord. Sir Ernest Cassel. Edwards intimate and business manager, is utterly dis credited. Those who used to go to him on pended knee for social ad- vancement. now cut him m Rotten
 Row. Sir Thomas Lipton will not come near the court again: he is too shrewd to expose himself to a cer- tain snub. Lord Marcus Beresford maintains discreet retirement among his horses at Newmarket. Mrs. George Keppel has gone for voyage around the world that will occupy two years. Mrs. Hall Walker, wife of the multi-miH onaire brewer and racing king. is staying quietly at her country home.
 The old, staid nobility has come back into its own. The court is ex- actly as 1t was under Victoria. fifty years ago. At Balmoral all the lights 90 out at 10:30 at night. Tn the ev- enings, about the time Edward was getting ready for his game of bridge George and Mary are putting the children to bed.

 Belle Hi .chcock on Trolley Car
Reaches Hcme to Find Aged Mother Burned to Death and House in Flames

Mrs. Helen Hitchcock aged S9 years. her home, 536 Noble avenue The aged woman who was spry and bright for her age. was alone at the. time and the details of how her clothing caught fire are not known. although it is be- lieved that her skirt caught fire from a wisp of lighted paper that she was carrying from the kitchen fire to light lamp that stood on a nearby table. She had just finished trimming the lamp wick.
 Emveloped in flames the helpless old woman hurried as fast as she could to a front room where her pitiful at tempt to raise a window to call help were passing. They dashed into the house and when they had reached her they found that she had fallen upon couch. One of the young men sent in an alarm from box 432. at Arc tic street and Noble avenue.
 Chief Mooney. driven by Engineer John O'Connor was the first to reach the fire. The chief and OConno, rushed into the smoke filled apart ments with a hand chemical. It was not until they had the fire extinguish- ed that they noticed that what ap- peared to be clothing upon the burn. ing couch was the remains of the aged woman. who had undoubtedly died before the department arrived. Although Mrs. Hitchcock had scat tered fire through several rooms wher she passed from the rear to the front of the house. the blaze had not gain ed much headway and was put out bJ the crew of the chemical engine.
 Miss Belle Hitchcock who lives witf her mother. was downtown shopping She boarded a Beardsley Park car fol home in the best of spirits. Half way home she had foreboding that some thing had happened. Several women who also were standing in the car no ticed a pallor come over Miss Hitch cocks face and several believed sht was suddenly taken ill.
 When the car reached Maple street Miss Hitchcock pushed her way through the crowded car without ap- parently seeing any of the other pas sengers She left the car by the

The daughter prostrated with grief, was taken to the home of a neighbor.
 Miss Hitchcock and her mother have lived together for 50 years. and the bond of sympathy between them was very strong The dausater''s premoni. tion must have reached her only a few seconds after the death of her mother Mrs. Hitchcock was a resident of this city for many years and highly re- spected. She is survived by Alonzc Hitchcock, pressman with the Post who resides at 713 Kossuth street: Miss Annie Hitchcock of Albany. and Miss Belle Hitchcock of this city.

Play Is as Coed For Grown Persons a.
 For Children.
 Play is just as necessary to keen grown man young and middle aged man from growing old as it is to make child grow into a man, Words worth's lines are as sound physiology as good poetry:
 My heart leaps up when I behold
 The rainbow in the sky.
 So was 1t when my life began:
 So be it when 1 am a man
 Or let me die.
 Tn childhood we play because we are young. in middle age we are young because we play. and if we keep it up we shall never know that we are old until we are one day sud denly dead. Yet the absurd idea has grown up. and Mrs. Grundy has adopt ed it with her usual fatuousness, that play is something undignified in a grown man and unbecoming in lady. And this unfortunately is one of the rare instances where thinking makes 1t so." After man has practiced this belief in the uselessness of exercise for half a decade or so and become fat and pompous and red faced or pale and slack muscled and short winded then che contortions that he indulges in when he decides to unbend and try to play furnish considerably more en- tertainn1ent to spectators than to him. self.-Dr. Woods Hutchinson in Out ing,

SECRETARY MEYER DEMANDS
 ANOTHER MILLION FOR SHIP
Labor Men in House Believe it is a Ruse to Prove That Priva;e Shipyards Are the Best
(Special from United Press.)


 Washington. Dec. 9--Asserting that the present appropriation of Congress for the building of the bat.leship New York at the New York navy yard, is insufficient with the yards under the eight hour law. Secretary Meyer has asked the House for an additional S1.- 500. 900. As result of his action labor members of the F~use today are asserting that Meyer is a'sing the figure on the battleship unreasonably simply to demonstrate that his policy of private yard building is best.
 Representative Fitzgerald. New York. said that Secretary Meyer had included in his estimates of the cost of the New York about $S00.00 for overhead expenses which would have to be borne by the navy yard whether a ba-tleship was built there or not, and that he believed. when the figures were submitted to close inspection. this amount would be greatly increas- ed.
 This is the second fight which has developed against Secretary Meyer in the House his session. The other Is from the House Committee on Naval Affairs. where there is opposition to his methods of economy.

HAND PAINTED HATS
THE LATEST FANCY

with a few tubes of color. an un-
trimmed hat of fine straw and a little
time, the woman who can paint flowers
can produce a confection for her head
such as the less clever woman is
forced to pay $50, SIS, or 800 TO Sc
cure.
Hand painted hats are one of the
latest fancies of the season, for the
first of them being only lately Inn
ported. Those that are well done are
really exquisite. and they have the ad-
vantage of requiring little trimming.
The first step for the woman who
wants To crown her locks with one of
these hand-painted hats. and doesn't
care TO pay out handful of dollars. is
to buy an untrimmed hat OF some. be-
coming shape. It should be wide brim-
med. for toques and turbans do not
lend themselves to this style Of decor
ntion.
Also il should be of some fine straw
Leghorn or Panama or something Of
that sort. Rough straw is difficult TO
paint. and would not show off the de-
sign as wen.
The color Of the straw should he

hest background for the painted
flowers.
The next thing is TO make a pattern
Of the brim of the hat and the top Of
the crown in stiff light brown paper,
these being the parts that are painted.
The floral design should be drawn on
the pattern. and then cut out with a
pair of sharp scissors, that it may be
stenciled on the hat.
Prettiest Designs.
The prettiest designs are vines bear
ing punches of blossoms. Wistaria. for
instance is very effective Small bunch

orchids. dotted at intervals over the
hat. are pretty. too. on one hat just
