eighteenth birthday
The health of Prince Henry continues
to cause anxiety. The experiment of
sending him to school at Broadstairs
has resulted in an Improvement, but
the gain in strength is hardly rapid
enough to satisfy the royal physicians.
1t is hoped, however, that a quick
change for the better will come DUR
ing his holiday sojourn in the High

Prince Henry's lack Of vigor Is the
more serious because he is growing
too fast for his age. He is the tall

the making Of handsome lad. His
continued weakness does not seem to
affect the princes lively disposition,
which has earned for him the family
nickname of "Bluebottle." He is the
humorist Of the royal children, and
his comicalities of manner and speech
are the delight of all who know him.

whether the pedestrian on our streets

continually on his guard, watching for

those on foot? Is the pedestrian
obliged legally to be alert constantly

reason Is that high-frequency cur

and did not perceive his danger. A
horrible death was the result.
"Of all speed fiends Of the present
day, some motorcyclists are by far the
greatest menace to the pedestrian. The
machine is small, much lighter than
an automobile and capable of darting
into and through a crowd with almost
the wariness of rabbit. What chance
has the man on foot with a reckless,
daredevil driver likely to cross his

convinced, is today in great need Of
