ROYAL FAT Boy
SEEKS A CROWN
Denmark's Prince Candidate
for the Nebulous Albanian
Throne.

COPENHAGEN. Denmark, Jan. 2.
Prince Gustavus of Denmark, who
used to be known as ''the royal fat
boy" and who still has ample claims
to distinction for corpulence, is the
latest candidate for the nebulous AL
bantam throne.
Gustavus is now formally in the
lists for the job against Prince Victor
Napoleon, a Servian prince, a Rou-
manian prince and other scions of
royalty who have no position as king
in sight, unless they get one in AL
bania.
1t had been believed here that the
chances of Gustavus were. excellent
until the last day or two. The chasm
between the allies, however, is greatly
to the detriment of the rotund prince.
He must rely chiefly on Greek influ-
ences to further his claims. King
George of Greece is his uncle. while
Dowager Queen Alexandra of Eng
land Is his aunt. He has the back
ing of the royal circle in Greece, and
of the government and of officialdim
generally, and had disagreement not
broken out between the Hellenes and
their allies it Is thought he might
have won the crown.
Gustavus is the sixth child of the
late King Frederick of Denmark, and
is a brother to the relying King,
Christian X. He was born in March,
1887, and when Is entered the army.
He is now lieutenant in the Life
Guards.
But his fat has thus far been the
chief Characteristic for which the
prince is notable. He is six feet tall
and weighs 37S pounds.
He has declined invitations from
his aunt, Queen Alexandra. to go to
England to visit, because he feared
his girth would cause amusement and
comment. He has never forgotten
his embarrassment when one day as
he was walking in a Copenhagen
street an urchin shouted at him:
"Ho, mister! Can you eat any
more?"
For some weeks thereafter he con-
fined his promenades to the palace
grounds.

seldom farms out a man he thinks
he can use. He prefers to let the

USE OF HOBBIES

CHICAGO, Jan. There Is fear
among horsemen who campaign over
the Illinois Valley Racing Association
tracks that hobbies may disrupt the
old organization before the meeting

that they are about equally diveded

President N. J. Aldrich. Of the assoc
citation, is leading the fight for free
going horses. He and his supporters
will make a fight to have all horses
barred off the Illinois tracks which
cannot trot or pace without the use
of straps, basing their stand on the
fact that the American Trotting and
Racing Association has barred the
hobbled horses from its affiliated
tracks after 1915.

speed out of the animals no matter
how. retort that the Hartford assoc

The veil as a portion of feminine

holding canopy over the bride at
her wedding, a ceremony still OBJ
served at Jewish marriages. Many
families hold the bridal veil as one

save for the broad hem-stitched Dor
der, are often kept by the wearers

come wives and mothers, as the
christening veil for their baby. AL
though modern science is averse to

Although the veil has to some ex-
