Prince Of Wales Birthday

The war has stripped European
royalty of much of the pomp and cir
cumstance which formerly sl1rround-s
ed it and the nations fighting the bat
ties are finding out what stuff their
rulers are made Of Some of the
Kings and princes have shown them
selves to be real men, and none has
shown more manly qualities than the
Prince of Wales, who today celebrates
his twenty-third birthday. With true
Anglo-Saxon bravery he has faced
shot and shell on the front in France
and is conspicuously, though not os-
tentatiously, doing his bit. The
Prince"s English titles are: Prince
Edward Albert, Prince Of Wales, Earl
of Chester, Duke of Cornwall, Duke
of Rothesay, Baron Renfrew, Lord
of the Isles, Great Steward of Scot
land and Earl of Inverness. There 10
none of these titles to which greater
historic interest attaches than that:
of Earl of Chester. which is a Welsh
title conferred upon the Prince only
a few years ago. In the time Of will
liam the Conqueror that title was
held by Hugh Lupus, who in addi-
ton to his earldom had 124 lordships'
in sixteen other counties. To Hugh
succeeded his son Richard, who per-
ished with the two sons of Henry L
when the White Ship foundered in the
Channel. Richard was in turn fol-
lowed in the earldom by the kindred
| line Of Demeschines, four OF whom
held semi-royal sway in Chester un-

HOUSEWIVES ASK TO
AID IN FOOD SAVING

Washington, June 23.-secretary
Houston appealed to American
Housewives yesterday to assist the ma
tional food conservation movement
by canning or preserving perishable
fruits and vegetables. Pointing out
that the ordinary harvest yield will
be greatly increased this year by the
back yard garden campaign. Mr..
Houston declared that not to conserve
this valuable food surplusage would
be sinful waste
As the transportation pressure of
the railroads will become heavier be-
cause of large shipments Of food for
military purposes it Is the duty OF
all to try to relieve this condition by
utilizing to the greatest extent all To-
cally produced foods. said the secre-
tary.
"All that any home should expect
of others is the foods that cannot be
produced effectively by its own mem
bers," he added.

Mirabeau Defies the King

Many times have the French people
fought and bled for Liberty and to-
day recalls that famous event which
took place on June % 1889, when
Mirabeau threw down the gauntlet to
the King Of France, which was the
first step in the great revolution at
the end of the eighteenth century
which made thrones throughout
Europe totter, as they are tottering to-
day. The King had ordered an as
senbly of the three estates, the no.
bility. the clergy and the people. He
was going to 'tlay down the law
properly. The estates gathered on the
morning of June % in the Church of
st. Louis. The Third Estate, the peo-
pie, sat in gloomy silence. AS the
King entered. the nobility and a por-
ton of the clergy saluted. Not so the
people. The king in a defiant mood
read his declaration in which he an
nounced his intention to maintain
separate deliberations unless the Third
Estate came to terms. Then the king
went out, followed by the nobility
and the higher clergy the represen-
tatives of the people sitsing immov-
ably In their places. Soon the Grand
Master of Ceremonies returned Gen
tlemen," said he, you who have
heard the orders Of the King. I am
about to ask for the orders of the AS
sembly' Mirabeau was son his feet
in an instant. Turning to the Grand
Master he said: I'VE have heard, sir,
the intentions that have been sug-
gested by the King. but as for you
who have neither place, nor voice nor
fright to- speak in this Assembly, it is
not for you to repeat to US his ad-
dress. Go and tell those who sent
you that we, are here by the will Of
the people and we will not depart
unless driven out by bayonets.'' Thus
began the great French Revolution.

Founding Indian Empire

One hundred and sixty years ago
today the foundation was laid for
British rule in India and for the
bringing of light to that darkened
empire. On June 23, 1857, a little
band of brave Englishmen, at whose
head was Robert Give. a young
clerk of the East India Co., early in
the morning prepared for what SEEM
ed to be hopeless battle. against ov-
empowering odds on the field of Plas-
sey.. In 1856 Calcutta had been cap
tured by Suraj I'D Dowlah, who inn
prisoned over one hundred English
men in the BLACK Hole suffocating
nearly every one of them. Give was
at Madras at the time this outrage
was perpetrated and resolved to
avenge his heroic countrymen. AS
soon as he heard OF the crime he be-
gan to gather about him small force

been made sailed from Madras and
shortly afterward landed with his ex-

being Sepoys. This time the god of
