LIVES AS SIMPLE CITIZEN
King Albert of Belgium Cares Little
for Pomp That Usually Sur
rounds a Monarch.

Among the fisher folk of La Panne,
where King Albert of Belgium spends
his summers, he is known as the old
fashioned king. He lives in a small
cottage of unpretentious design, circled
by homes of Antwerp and Belgian mer-
chants much more kingly. The royal
palace and park, at Ostend, where his
uncle, Leopold II, spent the summers
in gay frivolity, and the gayer resorts
of the French coast, have little of in
terest for the practical and democratic
monarch. The dress of the king in
both fashion and fabric is like that
of the merchants of La Panne The
affairs of the town are the affairs of
his household, and one not knowing
him would pass the kindly-faced man
on the street and not recognize him.
He takes pleasure from his camera
swapping the peasants and fishermen.
1T was at La Panne where the con-
queror julius, invading Gaul, found
the Belgae, a people whom Caesar de-
scribed as the most valiant of all the
races of northern Europe.

farm home of ten or fifteen years ago
did not have running water and electric
light and power was because they were
not obtainable. But that is not true
now. Both running water, hot and
cold, and electric lights are becoming
part of the equipment of the homes on
the farms, as the gas engine has solved
the problem of power for these con-
veniences.
Comfort-giving and labor-saving home
equipment are just as much a part or
the modern home as the roof or the
floors. No one in city would live in
house that did not have water, or
light, either gas or electric. They go
with the home. The cost of individual
electric light and water plants up to
a few years ago was prohibitive for
most farmers. But American inven-
ton has changed things on the farm.

Military Training Is Essential to the Nations
Welfare and Security
By CARDINAL GIBBONS, Archbishop of Baltimore

I am convinced that military training for
the young of country is essential for the well
fare and security of the nation. In the recent
had the trained armies of allies to lean upon until
soldiers prepared for the battlefield. We can
not always depend upon such favorable circumstance
in the event that we are drawn into again. The
discipline which the young will acquire will de-
velop them morally and physically The regular hours
of rising and retiring, taking of simple and nourshng
food and the outdoor exercise cannot fail to improve
their general health.
