being unwilling to involve the public
with an additional charge In view OF
the serious state Of the national finances.
Mr.. Chamberlain declared that King
George also had favored material re-
ducti0n in the ceremonial splendor ira
ditionally associated with the British
throne. but the Government had advised
him that Parliament and the great mass
of the population Of the empire would
prefer to maintain the customary dig
nifty Of the crown.
Meantime great economies had been
introduced in the royal household, aud,
although costs had doubled. the royal
expenditure was only IA per cent greater
than In 1910, and the King believed
further economies were possible. anu
was appointing a committee to examine
into the question of salaries, mainte-
nance Of palaces and other expenses
in hopes that an appreciablc reduction
would enable him to avoid asking for
an increase in the civil list.
Mr.. Chamberlain, recalling that the
King. in 1915. voluntarily contributed
100000 to the National Treasury,
said King George wished to make
further contributions, but that the
Government had advised that he con
tribute to public charities instead of the
Exchequer.

EVIDENTLY HER LUCKY DAY
Girl at First Thought Pickpocket Was
4 Busy, but It Turned Out Just
- Ill.,. the Other Way.

The business girl, straphanging in
the subway at the rush hour, felt a
gentle tug on the pocket Of her rain
coat. Far from being disturbed, she
grinned sardonically. knowing that
just exactly one dime rested in the
shabby little purse resting in that par
ticular pocket. She was so hcmmed
in by fellow travellers that 1t was
difficult to discover If her suspicious
were facts until she emerged with the
struggling mass at her station. Then
she dipped her hand lightly into the
pocket only to find the ancient purse
intact and in its accustomed spot.
But that wasn't the only thing in
the pocket. Extracting a hard sub
stance gingerly, she stared in daze
at a roll of bills protected by an elas-
tic band. EXhilarated and excited
over this reverse state Of affairs. she
counted her ill-gotten gains and be-
hold, she was the richer by 80 per-
fectly good dollars. Whether fellow
passenger had dropped them by mis-
take into, her pocket instead Of his
own Or thief placed them there for
fear of detection affords a wide field
of speculation Anyhow the business
girl has turned the money into her

exceptions, Ike everything else. One
of the most romantic of them, per-
haps. is contained in recent news
dispatch from Detroit, telling how an
engine-room worker in one of the city
hotels ut 80 cents an hour was spurned
by the girl of his dreams because she
was sure that he would never be able
to support her.
In less than week after the spnrn-
Ing the man received message from
a Toledo attorney saying that he was
one of three heirs to a $15,W0.000
estate in California. Fiction, which
revels in the happy ending, would have
had the lucky one repeat his offer of
marriage and meet with quick and
maybe fearful acceptance, and then
would have given us pretty word

westward on train de luxe.
But truth Is cold and exact. The
engine-room worker simply said good

and went to lay claim to his inherit

his helpmate?

average of forty school children
take advantage of the lunch daily.
Two rooms are used at noon as

teachers.
Boys take turn acting as walters
and in order that the children may
learn good table manners, each
teacher spends one day a week in
structing the children. The pupils
also wash their own dishes and are
taught the easiest way of doing this
in sanitary manner
Aside from the equipment which
the school had last fall. County

with four tea kettles, a dish pan

which are rich in nutriment and
which the children can easily pre-
