ROYAL LINE SOMEWHAT MIXED
Ruling House of Roumania Has Made
Many Alliances With Women
Not of Blue Blood.

Prince Carol Of ROumania, who Is
reputed to have married beneath
him." is only carrying out the family
tradition by making a mesalliance.
The princely and elder branch of the
Hohenzollerns, to which he belongs,
has n very mixed pedigree, from
the point of view Of a court genealo-
gist, In spite of the fact that in the
male line they rank as one of the old
est families in Europe, the origin of
which Is lost In the mlsts of ages. To
begin with, King Ferdinand's mother,
a Portuguese princess of the houes Of
Coburg, was the granddaughter of the
Countess Antonia of KOhary, q Hun
garian lady of great wealth, who was
raised to the rank of princess by the
emperor of Austria TO marry on equal
terms Prince Ferdinand of COburg,
Queen Victoria's uncle. One of the
king of Roumania's great-grandmoth-
ers was 4 Murat, a relation of Napol-
con rs general, and another Stephanie
-Beauharnais, a niece of the Empress
JOsephine's first husband, whom Ma
poleOn adopted into the imperial fam
lily. Farther back still. in the first half
of the eighteenth century, there is In
his pedigree an untitled E~ngIishwom.

nectiOn of the then Earl of Ailesbury.

Swine Demonstrations
VIII Be Held in Is
S.. w. Georgia Counties

ALBANY. Ga. May 2S.-Fifteen
southwest Georgia counties are to have
swine demonstrations during the next
few weeks, conducted by c. A Martini.
of the State College of Agriculture. Mr..
Martini will work through the county
agents. His first stop is in Dougherty
county, where he began yesterday, with
County Agent H. L. Cromartie, cam
paign among the farmers.
The main purpose of the campaign is
to teach economic feeding of hogs, both
of the pure-bred varieties raised for
breeding purposes and of the regular
meat animals. The system worked out
by the State College of Agriculture, 1t
is said, will enable a farmer to keep
stuff growing at all times of the year
for his hogs and to put them on the
market at the minimum cost.
In the campaign it is urged especially
that animals be kept well fed and in
good condition the first eight months
of their lives. so that they will go on
the market before they have eaten more
food than they will bring in money.
Under this feeding plan it is possible
to raise 100 pigs, 10 sows and one boar
on fifteen acres of land. and to keep
them in good growing condition at the
same time. The system is not arbitrary
but is a guide by which the farmer can
work out one of his own, to conform
with local conditions. if he so desires.

Says Ga, Senior Senator
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, ID. g, May 2S.-While
regretting tlrat a summer session of
congress has been found necessary for
revenue legislation, members of the
Georgia delegation are resigned to the
wartime situation and will cooperate
in the passage of Just and equitable

After hearing the presidents message
the Georgia members were unanimously
in accord with the administrations
plans and praised the message.
The time which Georgia members may
spend with their constituencies will nee
essarily be curtailed, but the house
leaders will arrange for individual mem
bars TO spend considerable time in their
districts when desired.
