document in which information is given
concerning the old mothers of Africa
who sent this tribute OF love. loyalty.
and good wishes TO the beloved Prin-
cess" and describing how the stool wac
made and consecrated. In making the
presentation Lady Guggisberg handed TO
the Princess a translation of the address
of ANNA Sewa Akoto. which runs as
follows.
II place this stool IN your hands.
Ashanti stoolmakers have carved II
and Ashanti silversmiths have embossed
it. All the Queen Mothers who dwell
here In Ashanti have contributed to-
ward Il. and as I am the senior Queen
Mother in Ashanti stand as represen-
tatlve of all the Queen Mothers. ana
place It In your hands to send to the
Kings child.
ut may be that the Kings child has
heard of the Golden Stool OF Ashanti.
That Is the stool which contains the
soul OF the Ashanti nation All we
women OF Ashanti thank the Governor
! exceedingly because he has declared to
us that the English will never again ask
us TO hand over that stool. This stool
we give gladly. II docs not contain our
soul as our Golden stool does. but IT.
contains all the love of us Queen Moth
ers and OF our women The spirit of
this love we lfave bound to the stool
with silver fetters Just as we are ac-
customed to bind our own spirits to the
base OF our stools.
1--WE In Ashanti here have a law
which DEGREES that It IS the daughters OF
Queen who alone can transmit royal
blood, and that the children OF a King
cannot be heirs 20 that stool. This law
has given us women a power In this land
so that we have saying which runs
IT Is tho woman who bears the man.
1--WE hear that her law is not SO. nev-
ertheless We have great JOY in sending
her our congratulations, and we pray the
great god Nyankopon. on whom men
lean and do not fall. whose day of wor-
ship is Saturday. and whom the
Ashantis serve just as she serves Him.
that He may give the Kings child and
her husband long life and happiness. and
finally. when she sits upon this silver
stool. which the women OF Ashanti have
made for their white Queen Mother. may
she call us to mind.

Gyroscopic Control.

In q report on experiments with
pilotless ai7planes the Army Avia-
tion Service notes that of all the
automatic devices tried tho one pro-
vided with gyroscope was tho most
satisfactory. The gyroscope etabi-
Lies. It enables q wAbbly. tempera-
mental mass to keep It's balance and
to maintain its course toward def

What an advantage II would be to

gies under gyroscopic control! A

ever has been and probably ever will
be crying need in human dynamics.
Some persons need 1t more than
others.
Some apparently are adequately
equipped with what answers to gyrO-
scope attachment to their intellec-
tuals. They make a fine start. For a
long time they steer straight course
for the winning stake. Then sud
denly, ofttimes in advanced middle
age. the control breaks down. Then
another good man goes wrong.
Should the trouble occur in youth
the damage may be repaired. The sta
bilizing control may be restored and
hold all~the flrmer, perhaps. for the
lesson Of the mishap. But loss Of
control happening on the downward
slope of life is generally fatal. The
unfortunate rarely emerges from the
wreckage save morally dead or hope
lessly crippled. Rare indeed are the
instances In which adequate regula-
tion can be reestablished.
or course there are those who SEEM
ingly are born with a perfectly oper-
ating gyroscopic brain attachment.
We call them level headed persons
for short. Through all-the swirl Of
aimlessly darting human ephemera
they move steadily on to their objec-
tive and generally they reach it. But
the number is small compared with
those who are unstabiliZed.
Could anybody compute the loss to
the world in material achievement
from lack of gyroscopic control of
energies put forth In honest but un-
stabilized directive effort II would be
staggering figure to contemplate.
But apparently the total must go on
accumulating. The human brain
gyroscope inventor is nowhere within
the high or low visibility zone.

an obstacle to Balkan unity and pre-
vented Turkish influence from ex-
tending northward to the Danube.
1t was united Europe that won
these first important points at Lau-

through the conference the peril
which was feared from the return of
the Turk to power at Constantinople
would be overcome and permanent
peace secured In the Near East.

To The NEW York HERALD: VIII
some old timer confirm or correct my
earliest recollections of New York?
began going there from Boston about
1870. and I think the friends visited
lived In University place. 1 seem to
remember a hotel-I think 1t was the
New York Hotel--on Broadway near
University place. where the purchase OF
a drink entitled you to partake Of a
free lunch which I remember as much
like tho spread at q good club on a club
night. Unless all other bars In the
neighborhood offered similar attractions
I should suppose there would have been
a crowd there every noon. but I recall
was told that the house was mostly
patronized by Southerners.
Later used occasionally to come up
from Washington IN the night train.
and after a breakfast In the restaurant
OF the old Astor House I would walk
UP to the Grand Central Station. Some
where on the way I used to pass a
house with feRced yard wherein "a
COW was feeding. think the story
was that the lady who lived there
was II Mrs. Goelet7--rreferred to keep
her own COW on her own premises. and
could afford to do II II she wanted to.
People with taste for figures used to
calculate the probable cost OF milk from
that particular cow.
Sometimes when I went up town in
the middle of the day I would treat
myself TO a lunch at the Hoffman House.
was therefore able to appreciate the
story Of the tramp who stopped a man
in that neighborhood and said ''Will
you tell a starving man where he can
get food?" The answer was "You can
get n very good meal over there at the
Hoffman Houee II you don't care what
