SHAH OF PERSIA
 } THINKS SELF POET
Considers Own Work a Little Bet ter Than That of Omar Khayyam

London, Mar 1,--The young Shah or Persia, who recently left his capi- tall Teheran for another trip to Eur, opc, is said 10 hold high opinion oi himself as a poet. In fact, according to a' story told here, he puts himself m class with Omar khayyam and considers himself. if anything, a trihc better than his great countryman,,
 Says So Himself
 As the story is told by the Morning | Post, British minister at Teheran called on the shah at the request of English admirers of the great Persian poet and asked that better care be taken of his grave at Nishapur where, as Omar predicted "thc North wind still scatters roses on his tomb" But the shah could not be impressed with this need. Persia, he declared, had lots of poets and he, himself. was pos sibly little better than Omar. Ahmed Mirza, shah of Persia, is only A years old and this some say, may account for his opinion He knows English and Russian and talks French fuently and accurately and has been reported as eager to learn western ways and institutions.
 Interest In Sports
 In appearance his majesty is short and stout. He takes a lively interest in sports, plays a good lawn tennis game and, in order to encourage open air sports in Persia, founded the I'm perial Sports club at Teheran, placing at its disposal q piece of crownland.
 His father. Mahomed Ali, lost his throne in consequence of his attempts to stamp out the constitutional sys- tenn in Persia and regain the abso- lutism of his ancestors
 Father EXilcd
 Ahmed, who was then in his 18th year was proclaimed sovereign in 1909 and his father was sent into exile on the famous island of Prin- kipo where President Wilson propos- ed that the allies hold conference with the Russians, as a part of the after war peace negotiations
 He has been credited with having kept Persia from taking the side of the central powers in the world war. Certain area near the western coast of Cuba grows the costliest tobacco in the world.
