CLOTHES OF KINGS
COSTING FORTUNES
ALFONSO is "KNUT'' OF ROYALTY;
QUEEN SAYS TASTE is LIKE
PRIZE FIGHTERS.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

LONDON, Jan. 4.-Haberdashers say
King George does not spend nearly
SO much on his attire as did his father.
In a year the King buys about twenty
five lounge, morning and sporting
suits.
Ten pounds is the average cost Of
each of his majesty's morning suits,
twelve guinees for frock suit, and
six to eight guineas each for lounge or
sporting suits.
Although the King chooses all the
material for his clothes, his majesty
has a great dislike of being fitted. So
his suits are tried on a model made the
exact size of the Kings figure. Six
suits at a time are usually ordered by
the King, and he wears each one about
twenty times before it is discarded.
The royal wardrobe contains about
a dozen overcoats, all in use. Ordinary
light overcoats cost the King about ten
to twelve guineas. About 90 pounds
a year is spent by the monarch on
shirts. He buys, at one guinea each,
two dozen linen shirts, about a dozen
silk sporting shirts, with collars to
match, costing pound IL sd each'
and about two dozen soft shirts for
travelling at about the same price.
King Georges ties cost him on an
average about one guinea each. They
are of the finest silk, usually dark, and
of one color and his majesty buys
about three dozen annually.
Three or four dozen pairs of boots
and shoes are kept in regular use by
the King. For boots he usually pays
five guineas pair and for shoes two
guineas. Taking an average, it can be
said that the King of England spends
about 500 pounds a year on his attire
His uniforms, of course, are not In
cluded in this sum. They average ar

King Alfonso Is
"Knut. of Royalty.

King Alfonso is the "knut" among
kings. His majesty of Spain is very
extravagant, and, let it be whispered,
his garments are not always in the
very best of taste. He has a much
larger number of suits in wear than
our own King, and he seldom wears
suit more than dozen times.
Many of the King of Spain's suits
are made in London, and he pays about
the same prices as does the English
king for them. Considering everything,
King Alfonsos dress bill never aver
ages less than 1000 pounds year. He
once paid 20 pounds for gorgeous
fancy waistcoat of old gold brocade
with silver blue stripes. His majesty
only wore this once, however, for at
sight of it Queen Ena described it
cleverly as "a masterpiece of bad taste,
suitable only for millionaire prize
fighter" King Alfonso has another
weakness-for sock-suspenders. For
these, it has been stated, he sometimes
pays as much as 10 pounds for sin
gle pair, and he buys a. dozen pairs
each year, at least. The hundred ties
that he has always in use cost the King
of Spain as much as two guineas each.
Although he dresses in a quieter
manner than his brother monarch of
Spain, the Gear invariably spends 5000
pounds each year for clothes. This
sum includes the cost of his uniforms.
1t must be remembered, however,
that the fur coats, hats and gloves nee
essary for the Russian climate are ex-
pensive items in his dress bill, rarely
totalling less than 900 pounds year.
Another reason is that the Car buys
all his clothes in Russia, where mater
ials are very expensive.

One of the striking results of the
recent fighting on the East Prussian
front is the large number of 16 and IL
year-old boys found dead on the bat
tlefelds.
A big Russian guardsman was about
to cut down one of these German
youths when he changed his mind,
knocked the rifle out of the boys hand
and caught him with paternal grip
of the ear, saying, Lad, it's a pity to
kill thee" He then gave the young
Germans ear vigorous twist and let
him go.

Kaiser Dresses
Cheapest of All.

On his ordinary attire the German
Emperor rarely spends more than 700
pounds a year. Military uniforms,
though, add greatly to the imperial
dress bill. His German majesty is very
particular over his sporting suits, and
on his visits to England it has been
noted that he has never been seen in
the same suit twice. One may we'll
wonder what becomes Of the great
number of cast-off clothes worn by
kings only a dozen times or so. King
Georges garments, when they leave
the wardrobe, are sold, and the money
given to Princess Mary for her royal
highness' own pet charities.
The Car simply hands his discard
ed garments to his head valet, and that
official keeps them as his perquisites.
The clothes Of the German emperor
are sold, and the money is given to
various charities.

THE RULING ONE-THIRD

Bismarck said that third of the students in the
universities ruin their lives by dissipation onehird ruin
their lives by oyerwork and the other third rule Germany
This strikes one as being approximately true not only
in Germany but everywhere. Despite all the college
failures it is to college graduates that on the whole the
world looks for leadership
1t is therefore of particular significance that the num-
Der in colleges in this country this year is larger than
ever before Apparently the tremendous effect of the
European war on the material interests of the world has
had the effect of turning the attention of the Young men
and young women of this country from ey-making
to mental culture
Even if twothirds of these students ruin their lives
by dissipation or over-work the remaining third who
viii! rule the country will have full ranks
We are far from saying that men and women without
college education cannot reach high ruling influence But
common observation shows that most of those who attain
positions OF large Influence graduates of colleges
1t is the growing recognition of this fact that leads so
many young men and women to seek college training.

SALEM RESPONDS TO
CALL OF THE NEEDY
Generous Donations of Cloth
ing the Result Of City's

That department of the Salem. Com

reception of bundles of clothing, which
the generous citizens of the city gave

of the Salem Social Service Center, yes.
tcrday looked more like secondhand
store than highly organized CONNER
cial club.
The response for clothing, shoes, eat
ables and in fact everything that could
be Of benefit to the poor was so gener.
GUS that the several autos collecting
yesterday were swamped with orders
and today the final collections are be-
ing made.
After the bundles of today are all col,
lected, the donations will be turned over
to the Social Service Center, which will
at once begin the asserting and tagging
Of clothing and shoes. As soon as this
work is finished, the hundreds of cases
of needy will be investigated and cloth
ing given accordingly. 1t is the inten-
tion q those doing the work of
Circle to investigate each case quickly
before giving help, in order that what
clothing has been received will be
placed right
As the clothing and shoes will be in
demand all winter, those who have not
sent their bundles may deliver them to
the Commercial club. The donations
this year were greatly in excess of one
year ago, but as the demands are great
er this year, the Center can use every
article sent them and then not help all
those who are worthy.
Nick Bros. gave the use of several
ears yesterday and Ebert Thompson as
sisted materially in the work of col
leeting.
