FILL LONDON
WITH SOLDIERS
Flashing Uniforms and the
BIare Of Bands for the
Coronation
JOHN HAYES HAMMOND
AT SOCIAL FUNCTIONS
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
LONDON, June 20.-The blaring
bands and flashing uniforms Of $4,000
soldiers descended upon London to-
day. giving a decided military tinge
to the preparations for the corona
tion.
The coming of the soldiers brought
countless thousands of sightseers TO
the streets and the worst street jam
yet experienced resulted.
No such thing as special privilege
will be known on coronation day. This
was indicated today by requests to the
police, by princes and nobility for
street passes which were refused.
Crowns that will be placed on the
heads Of King George and Queen Mary
on Thursday, the robes, and other cor
onation regalia, were taken to the
London Tower today and stored in the
strong room of buckingham Palace,
where they will be under special guard
until time for their use.
The old question of precedence in
the coronation always
fruitful OF wrangling and petty jeal-
ousies-has broken out at this time
and King George is declared to be
greatly harassed over the problem.
Many of those who are to take par.
in the coronation visited the Abbey
today for final rehearsals.
Revamping Of the decorations spoil
ed by two days of rain was carried
on at top speed today.
Asked what kind a time he had Al
the semi-formal dinner at Bucking
ham Palace, last night, given by tn,
King and Queen to the visiting en-
voys, John Hayes Hammond, the rep
resentative Of the United States re
piled.
1T was a bully affair"
Hammond Wore Knee Breeches.
1t was the biggest bunch of royalty
that Hammond had ever looked upon
he, in fact. being the only one pres
ent without a title Of some sort. Mos
of the royalties we're accompanied b,
their wives, but Hammond Staged
it. The American envoy wore hi
knee breeches, silk stockings AM
slippers Owing to the informality o
the function, he left of the buckle
that are supposed to 60 with the slip
pers. From the waist up, Harmon
was garbed in conventional evenih
dress.
When dinner was announced II fel
to Hammonds lot to be the escort o
Princess Alexander of Teck. Ham
mOnd was surprised at the jollity O
the diners and their social qualities
King George talked longer with Ham
mond than with any Of the othe
guests, and at parting from him, re
quested the pleasure Of another earl,
conversation.
After the dinner. Mrs. Harmon,
Joined her husband, and the coupl
went to the ball given by the Duches
of Sutherland at Stafford House. Mrs
Hammond wore a gown in the style o
Catherine of Aragon. The Duches

LONDON, June 20--Contrasts of a
type to cause students Of social con-
ditions concern featured the corona
tion celebration today. The King and
Queen this afternoon received all the
visiting foreign ENJOYS at Bucking-
ham Palace. The broad roads. leading
to the entrances were lined with the
members of the guard, their brilliant
uniforms set off with glittering
brasses which reflected the rays Of
the scorching sun.
Through this lane of armed men,
carrying their rifles at the present
most Of the time, rolled the magnifi-
cent state equippages, up-to-date
automobiles and wonderful private
carriages on the cushions Of which re-
posed, in seemingly bored state,
gorgeously uniformed potentates,
princes and private citizens who rep
resent the nations of the world al the
Investment of England's king.
Behind the long line Of soldiers.
pressing against their backs and
pausing open mouthed at the pictur-
esque spectacle presented were thous-
ands of the poorest Of England's citi-
zenship. The lanes and by-ways OF
the great city seemed 10 have given
up all their denizens and they held
points of vantage in the park and
along the roadway which they had
taken under cover of the night
Beggars Abundant.
MANY rama 10 ufouv thr rf
but the majority we're there frankly
to beg. AS the carriages rolled along
their whining opportunities filed
the air. Many gave freely, tossing
coins over the heads Of the tall
guardsmen to the begrimed, appeal
ing hands outstretched toward them
Others sat bolt upright In their
equipages paying no attention to the
appeals or the showers Of vituperation
that marked their failure to distribute
largess as was expected.
Early IN the day detachment Of
police was sent forth to drive the
beggars off the street. They were so
numerous, however and so tightly
wedged at all of the points past which
the visiting envoys or the wealthy
sight-seers were compelled TO drive
that the police were powerless to In
terfere. It was realized that the beg
gars we're ready to fight for their
right to demand aims and the authori-
ties are not anxious to mar the pres
ent spectacle with bloodshed.
II was finally decided to detail po-
lice to watch the beggars and restrain
them from Offering violence TO those
who resisted their demands.

HATCH EGGS pY SINGING
Popular Belief IN Outer Hebrides With
Regard TO Hatching Of Stormy
PetrePs Eggs.

The stormy petrol builds her nest
| just above tie Atlantic biIlows, on
the islets near Iona and the Heb
rides. There, beyond the rocks, is a
| black, buttcry soil in which the birds
burrow like little winged mice and
On nests Of seazpink lay one egg.
There is, in the Outer Hebrides,
a very pretty popular belief as to
tie way in which the eggs are
hatchcd. The birds, say the people,
hatch their eggs by sitting not on
them, but near them, at a distance
of six inches. There the pctrels turn
their heads towards the opening Of
The bLrrow and coo at the eggs day
and night and SO hatch them with
a SOM.
This sounds like a fable made ont
Of folklore, but it really has a basis
in fact, according to one authority.
Although he never heard tie cooling
noise by day, he often did in the
evening. 1t is rather a purring
sound. When the nest is opened the
bird is usually found covering a
few inches away from its eggs,
Perhaps the truth is that the bur-
rows are SO warm that there is no
need of higher temperature in
duced by animal heat, and the par
ant bird can afford to sit down and
sing over the excellence Of the ar
rangement.
