WELCOME, PRINCE

He brother OF Ex-Empress. zita, Prince sixte.

ranch in the far west. This young p%rlnceling has
already run through a fortune OF. 100000 but
counts on the private fortune Of his wife to establish
bis %ranching business,
All moving picture plays to the contrary, the
prince is going to find thatllfe in tho far west is not

1t takes two listed, horny handed. clear headed

he-man to handle #. The experience may be

The entire. country suffers from the shock and
the horror OF the Washington occurrence, and the
tragedy should at least do one good. thing for the

this wholesale unsafe construction. Better go slowly
