PRINCE GEORGE.

PRINCE GEORGE
Us long as Prince George remains young
and without experience in the grave
responsibilities of state the government
is in dread Of possible complications.
Everything is being done to give him
full appreciation of his duty as king.
Prince George has not seen his moth
er for several years, since her so called
memoirs" were published. She elop-
ed from the royal palace some years
ago with his tutor, Giron, and was d.
vorced by King Frederick, being COM
PEELED to renounce her title as crown
princess, her husband comforting upon
her the title of Countess of Month
gnOsO The king took charge Of the
girl baby born to Louise after her
elopement. the child being christened
as the kings and given the name Of
Princess Anne Monique Pie. being In
cluded in the royal family and kept
away from the mother entirely.
Louises later escapade in marrying an
Italian pianist, Toselli, the publicity
of divorce from him and fight for
the child born of this union. with the
publication of her memoirs ridiculing
her husbands family. had the effect of
completely alternating King Frederick
and his government from her. Com
parative poverty has kept her quiet in
recent years.
Prince Georges marriage has already
received good deal of attention by
his father and the Dresden court, since
it is obviously wise to see him settled
down early with prudent wife, whose
Influence would counterfeit any which
his mother would attempt to exert. A
few months before the war it was said
that informal negotiations had been
opened with the car for an alliance
between the heir to the Saxon throne
and the Grand Duchess Tatiana, the
cars second daughter. who will be
nineteen next May. a beautiful girl,
yivacious and intelligent This match
is, of course. quite impossible now, and
the prospective bride generally spoken
of at this time is Princess Stephanie
of HohenZollern Sigmaringen. the
daughter of Prince Karl of HohenZOl
lern. who is two years younger than
Prince George.

ON Is CENTS A DAY
He GOES TO COLLEGE
Georgia Youth Lives Alone In
Self Made Shack.

Savannah, Ca A youth eighteen
years old is living at the Georgia
School of Technology and acquiring an
education on % cents day. On the
school register he is marked as H. S.
Cole, Coop" and he has built shack
on a nearby lot, where he sleeps and
eats and cooks his own food. He pur-
sues his studies during his spare min
utes.
Cole works two weeks month for
the Atlanta Steel company, and on
what he earns during this period he
goes to school for two weeks at the
school. His pay check at the steel fac
tory is $12 every thirty days. That
sufices to pay for his food, his tuition
and his books. He doesn't have any
incidentals. When he feels the need
Of a little recreation he INDUCES in an
hour or so Of trigonometry. he is a
son Of D. c. Cole, formerly assistant
postmaster at Atlanta, now living at
Marietta.
1T was just few days before school
opened that found there was to be no
more college for me-" said the student
II knew about the coop student, and
the idea occurred to me that l might
put up shack and live in it and be in
dependent. l came down from Mari
eta and went to see Mr.. Peters and
asked him If might build some sort
Of place on his land that l could live
in, and he said could"
The shop instructors helped him, and
the school gave him door and Win
dow. Otherwise the house was built
by Cole alone. AS far as essentials go,
it was finished in three days.
Cole sits over an oil lamp and stud
les while the winds beat a tattoo on his
homemade house and apparently tries
at times to blow both house and owner
away. He gets up at o'clock in the
wash his dishes, and he reaches his
classes as fresh and smiling as stu
dents from dormitory or home.
During the two weeks he works at
the steel mill Coles rising hour is 5
o'clock. Then he gets breakfast and
walks to the mill. He works ten hours
day and studies at night.
What are you going to do with your
self" he was asked.
II haven't decided yet" he answered.
Maybe III be an electrical or mechan-
ical engineer. perhaps farmer. All
I've decided just now is that want
college education"

ENGLISH GIRLS DO NOT
WEAR GREEN STOCKINGS

Green stockings are a drug on the
market of England. The manufac-
turers that are unwise enough to dye
their wares that color soon find that
there is practically no sale for that
commodity.
The reason for this is the old Eng
fish superstition that the Oldest
daughter of family must wear
green stockings at the wedding of a
younger sister, and thus admit that
she is husband-proof. No one in
England wants to enter spinsterdom
in SO ostentatious a manner, 80 no
girl desires to have green stockings
among her articles of wearing ap-
parel.
This superstition forms the com
edy element in new Vitagraph Blue

turing Lillian Walker, Louise Beau
