rtuuD OF THEIR HIGHWAY
Edinburgh Citizens, Not Without Res.
son. Claim Princes Street 10
Superior to Any.

When Edinburgh began to outgrow
Its streets and run over into the coun-
tryside the citizens took the matter
in hand and decided to enlarge their
city. They started with drab little
street which they built over from the
ground up and called It Princes street.
From the day its first stone was laid
the Scots Of Edinburgh determined
that Princes street should be the most
beautiful street imaginable.
Today Princes street is. to the
Scot. the most beautiful street In the
world. The stranger from another land
struggles to remain true to home at
fractions and compromises by pro-
nOuncing Princes street one Of the
most beautiful streets in the world.
On one side of the Scottish main
shops. and clubs in Edinburgh. On
the other are terraces and monuments
with frame Of trees and grass.
From this street you can see the
towers Of Edinburgh castle standing
out against the sky. Here are statues
of Edinburgh's great and gardens
where the Scots can take the air with
out going to the outskirts of the city.
OF the statues, the most beautiful is
that Of Scotland's favorite writer, Sir
Walter Scott. An arch decorated with
many spires forms covering for n
marble statue of the novelist. About
him in corners of the arch are small
statues Of his greatest characters.
Princes street is beautiful because
the Scots have never swerved from
their purpose Of making 1t so. Moth
ing can be added to Princes street, no
structure built without the approval
Of the city.

1t seems only too natural that

that he has lost good and true
friend and, in a measure, feels
that he is responsible for his res
ignation. Miss Miller is now in

probability, will have a match

cles and brawny arms, we judge
that they will soon be champions.

And the prof counts up in his
