RUMAN|AN KING
BECOMES USEFUL
AS SOUP Ladder

CIBIU, Rumania.-Thep picture of
a king, with a linen buster covering
his uniform, ladling out soup and
sugar to his hungry people, is one
that will live long in the memories
of the girls on duty at the Ameri-
can Red Gross supply depot here.
1t was a busy afternoon, for the
crowd of peasants seeking food
was unusually large and the small
number of American girls were
hard put to it to keep the line NOV
ing. The heat was intense and the
little group of workers, who had
been on their feet for hours, seemed
about to collapse, when suddenly
from the doorway came a mans
voice saying:
81 am ready for work, girls.
What can you give me to do?"
Bent over barrel of cocoa, Miss
Ruby NJ. Applebee, of Minneapolis,
Strengthened up to see from whom
had come this offer of much-needed
aid, aad beheld before her King
Ferdinand of Rumania, who by this
time had advanced into the room.
Kings meant little then when
hungry people were to be fed, so
Miss Applebee suggested that the
king first try his hand at the salmon
and jam. But the king as a dis
tributing agent for the American
Red Cross almost wrecked the pro-
ceedings, for his subjects could MOI
quite grasp the idea of their king
standing behind a counter and pass
ing out canned goods. Seeing the
confusion that resulted, the king
suggested to an aide that the peas
ants dispense with all formality
but it is certain that for ages to
come some empty can that once con-
tanned an American food product
will occpy the place of honor in
many a Rumanian household.
"Why shouldn't he work" said
one American girl that evening
when his wife, Queen Marie, is
| the hardest worker the American
Red Gross has here in Rumania?'

CLIMBERS ARE VICTIMS

GENEVA - Mountain climbing
brought an unusually heavy crop of
accidents this season. One of the
most sensational occurred on the
Piz Col recently, when two women
slipped and fell into a crevasse 100
feet deep. Their male companion,
unable to help, rushed for guides,
and, after seven hours imprison-
ment, the women were extricated,
one dead and the other unconscious.
On the same day, three young
couples had just reached the sum-
NIT of Luisin peak, above Salvan,
when a girl q years old collapsed
and fell 500 feet. After an all

and carried it with great difficulty

BRITISH MOBILES
SELLING HOUSES
Of OLDEN TIMES

LONDON.-The sale of the Duke
of Devonshire's town house to a
real estate syndicate for S5,000,000
is the latest of the seats of the old
nobility to pass into the hands of
outsiders. The purchaser of this
London home of the governor-gen-
eral of Canada is an American syn
dictate, and it is reported that a
hotel will be erected on the site.
Devonshire House was erected
nearly two centuries ago, in 1888,
at a cost of about 100000. 1t
is one of the most important and
historic of the old London man
sions with gloomy exteriors and
splendid interiors which Thackeray
and the other Victorian novelists
made the stage settings of their
most impressive passages of London
life. 1t stands with characteristic
British disregard for display, its
back to London's chief thorough
fare, Piccadilly, its porches facing
a spacious garden worth some dol
lars per square inch. Lansdowne
House, the town place of the Mar
quis of Lansdowne, which commands
an even larger garden, is the near
est neighbor, and that is reported
to be on the market also.
The governor-general of Canada
and the Marquis of Lansdowne both
own three or four country estates
as well. They are at the front of
the great landed proprietors of the
kingdom, and the dukes palace
named Chatsworth, in Derbyshire
is one of the most magnificent pri-
vate establishments in the world,
surpassed by nothing in Britain eX-
cept Windsor Castle.
Chesterfield House. owned by gen
erations of Lords Chesterfield, and
long considered the finest of the old
London residences, has been sold
recently. This had been rented 70,

burge, who married Miss May Goe.

The newspapers ascribe various
reasons for these sales. The chief
one is that super-income taxes and
the general increase of the cost OF
living makes impossible the upkeel
of such buildings and the necessary
retinue of servants; another that
the motor car makes it possible for
people to live in the country and
still enjoy all the advantages OF
town life. Another writer credits

Just now But it conceivable that none Of these things,

the campaign just ahead and that on the other hand the
fight will be an uphill one for Republican candidates all

The only safe thing to do therefore, is to get the local

uncertain and umpy The local candidates. will be amply

opinion that unless some very earnest taken

to ask men of the cabe that are needed to the risk
