NEVER WORE ROYAL DIADEM
manned Uncrewned on Account Of
State and Religious Reasons.

There have been seven uncrowned
queens of England. The first was
Margaret Of France, the second wife
of Edward l. Money was scarce in
the government Golfers at the time,
and Edward could not afford the ex-
pense of coronation. The four later
wives OF Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn's
successors-Jane Seymour, Anne Of
Geves, Catherine Howard and Gather
inc Parr-were never publicly crowned
as queen consOrts. Perhaps it was be-
cause Henry thought it would cause
ridicule to have coronations occur as
frequently as his marriages. Henrietta
Maria, the wife of Charles l, being
strict Catholic, refused to take part
in state function which would COM
pei her TO partake Of the sacrament &C.
cOrding to the rites of the Church Of
England. Sophia Dorothea, the wife
of George |, and mother of George III,
was never recognized as queen of Eng
land, and therefore cannot be casSed
as one of Britain's uncrowned queens.
Caroline Brunswick ,- thea--xsa,e- of
George ~, was not permitted to be
present in Westminster hall at his
coronation.

Empress Catherine, who had been the

Her daughter, Elizabeth Petrovna

war on the Witty Prussian king. and

most dangerous enemies.

Ants Sweet Tooth.

One of the greatest pests that haunt
our orange groves is the Argentine
ant, and yet it never goes near the
trees Every bit Of the damage il
does indirectly. 1t seems that 1t has
a very sweet tooth and is abnormally
fond of honey dew that is Secreted
by certain mealy bugs and scales that
are most injurious, and ii will go to
any lengths To protect them from be-
ing destroyed or harmed in any way.
In Louisiana they have discovered
way of trapping these ants. They
construct nests and when they all
congregate there. as they will in rainy
weather. they can destroy them.
In California they poison them with
poison syrup. When they are once
gone it is easy enough to deal with
their friends.

There was an immense cottonwood.
four feet thick and very tall, which
stood in Nebraska almost in the CEN
ter of the continent. halfway between
New York and San Francisco, which
was within one mile of that center.
Under its branches rested thousands
OF forty miners en- route to the Edo
RADIO OF the Pacific coast. 1t was the
best known camping ground on the
old California trail. From 1919, when
the gold seekers rushed across the
great plains down TO the completion
of the Union Pacific railway, the great
tree WAS guidepost to the wagon
trains going West
After the railway was completed
there was no further use for the old
tree and it eventually rotted away
and died. In 1910 monument was
erected on the spot that the tree had
occupied. 1t represents the trunk of
giant cottonwood and bears this in
scription: "On this spot stood the
original Lone Tree on the old Cali
fornia trail"

CRANTWOOD CITIZENS

THEY TRY TO SOLVE

There are some activities that the
which are of value to the community
and which l think it would be nice for
you to just give some little publicity in
your paper" said a GrantwoOd man
this week.
"One of the petty nuisances,' he
said, "of our town was the continual
stream of water running down Column
bia avenue, between Anderson avenue
and the car track, flooding the street
in the wet weather and making great
volume of ice in the very cold weather.
The club took this matter up with the
on this old spring, and the folks who
travel this way will not be bothered
again.
''The citizens will also note that the
railroad company has been spending
considerable money and labor in tax
ing care of cross-overs along the troll
ley right of way by raising the track
and putting in drains This is the re-
suit also of the work of the Citizens
Club, who have taken the matter up
with the Z. S. c., and they have gone
ahead to make this Improvement so
that the trolley tracks will not be flood
ed during the storms.
"A committee was also appointed, of
which Mr. Lehsten was chairman, to
take up with Senator Mackay of Ber-
gen county the matter of giving to the
municipalities under 5000 the privilege
of coming certain territories if they SO
desired"

Pearls were valuable as gems In
China as early as twenty-five centuries

made of prepared mud, but may be

then placed in shallow ponds connect

tubs of night soil thrown in from time

months to two years. depending upon
the size of the gem desired. these 0ys-

pearls removed and the body OF the
animal eaten as food Millions of such
pearls are sold annually in China The

TO THE GLORY OF n. j.
BILL TO PROTECT
SALOONS IS KILLED

Trenton. April by a vote of rs
ord as being opposed to any attempt
to take from the Court of Chancery
the right to issue injunctiOns against
saloon properties which may be found
objectionable Originally the measure,
which was introduced by Assembly
man Barrett of Essex, also applied to
houses of i'll fame. but the opposition
was so strong that this feature was
eliminated Despite this the house
showed its temper to be very strongly
against letting down the bars in any
respect on this subject and throwing
the prosecution of such cases into the
hands of local municipal authorities.
Mr. Barrett contended that the
bench of the Chancery Court objected
to handling such proceedings and that
the law giving this court jurisdiction
disregards the constitutional right of
offenders to IA trial by jury. He claim
ed the bill was not Il party measure
and all the members on both sides
should support it as matter of up
holding the rights given by the Consti-
tuition.
Assemblyman T. Lloyd Lewis of
Monmouth county made plea for
the defeat of the bill, declaring it Il
scheme 10 protect those engaged III

speech of opposition came from Mr.

DAY HONORED BY WELSHMEN
March the First Known the World
Over as Anniversary Of the
Countrys Patron Saint.

The first day of March has long been
observed as a special day by the peo-
pie of Wales and is called st. David's
day in honor of the good st. David,
patron saint of the Welsh, who lived
in the sixth century.
st. David was said to have been the
son of a prince of Cardiganshire,
Wales. and is accredited with the
working of many miracles, especially
among the poor of the country. 1t was
saM that when the saint first went
into the fields to preach to his follow
ers the ground on which he was stand
lag began to rise until it assumed
goodly height, and henceforth was his
pulpit.
For hundreds of years the Welsh
wore sprigs of leek-a plant with
broad bluish-green leaves and yellow
flower clusters-in their hats as sym
bot of recognition of the day. This Gus
tom was brought about, some say
from the fact that in battle of the
Welsh against their old enemies, the
Saxons, st. David had ordered all
Welshmen TO go into battle wearing
their native leek, not only to distin-
guish them from their enemies, but to
bring them good luck.
Other writer's argue that the badge
was worn more as fraternal sign and
because leek was grown in every Welsh
garden and was the favorite vegetable
of true Welshman.
Writer'S of the last century depict
typical Welsh garden as garden of
onions, garlic and leek. Homely incl
dents are told of Welshmen assisting
each other in farming and eating their
leeks together, ceremony symbolic OF
hospitality and good fellowship.

T0lLED HARD FOR SUCCESS
Great Sculptor Knew Many vicssi.
tudes Before His Genius Compelled
Worlds Acknowledgement.

The old, old story of genius toiling
against adversely and winning the
struggle is ever repeating itself-and
is ever interesting. Rodin, the great
French sculptor, climbed the ladder
laboriously. but with such a persist
ence that fame could not escape him.
In "Rodin, the Man and His Art" Miss
Judith Cladel tells how the young ar
fist, in order to live. applied himself
to varied occupations.
He Clipped at stone and marble, he
drew sketches for the fashionable jew
of decorative art ordered by manufac-
turers. Despite considerable loss Of
time he obtained by that means a true
apprenticeship in art. and finally was
able to realize his first dream-to have
an atelier of his own.
His atelier! 1t was stable in the
Rue Lebrun, in the quarter of the
Gobelins, where he was born. 1t was
a cold hoyel-cave, with well sunk IN
the angle Of the wall that, at every
season, exhaled it's chilling breath. 1t
did not matter. The place was suffi-
GENTLY large and well lighted.
There Rodin accumulated his stud
les and works until the place became
so crowded that he could hardly turn
himself about, but, being too poor to
have them cast. he lost the greater
part OF them. Sometimes the soft clay
settled and fell asunder; sometimes,
bled.-Youth's Companion.
