And through them ali il
always to be discerned the
distracted figure Of the Dow
ager Queen Amelie. Her
chief trouble all her life has
been her son, the ex- King
Manuel, from the time he
was d boy until he was
grown into manhood.
Manuel Il escapades with
numerous French actresses
and dancers during his FREE
quent visits to Paris while
he was still On the PoEtU
gueses throne Wrung
mothers heart hut nothing
she could say was able 70
dissuade him from his life of
dissipation. Finally the
lengthy episode with Gaby
Deslys resulted in his being
kicked from the throne and
his mother was forced into
exile with him. q
But her troubles did not !
cease. After much negotia
ton he was betrothed to
Augustine Victoria, the
daughter Of Prince Wilhelm
of ]HOhenzOllern, d branch Of
the ex-Kaisers house older
than his own.
The marriage finally tool
place in 1918, amid much
pomp, at Sigmaringen, but
three weeks later, while the.
couple were still Oh their
honeymoon, Princess Angus
tine suddenly left Manuel, ills
and had to go to q hospital
There were rumors that
his wild life in Paris had llIlr
fitted him to be the husband
of any decent woman, but
the rlmors were all officially
denied and eventually the ]:
pair were reunited.

RS the iowa Idee" to come back
as the. dominant controlling
power in public life?
There was a time not 30 very re-
mote when Iowa furnished the
men and the ideas which in the
last analysis may be said to have
largely dictated in q smooth way
the policies Of our government.
They were days which the ultra
conservative called the "Halcyon
Days'-days in which there was
no clamor for change by progress
aave radicals or blocs. It was the
area when calm and serenity
held sway and when things new
or strange were regarded as heret-
zeal. The oldtimers today in
washington looking back upon
those delightful times deplore
their passing.
The policies OF every era may be
said to be incarnated In some one
man. Indeed, no truth or no
policy lives that is not incar-
mated. It must be made flesh and
blood before the average man
can recognize it.
The Iowa Idee" Of, let US
say, 1890, until the time when
Roosevelt kicked out OF the
traces. and ran for President in
1912, was incarnated In the late
Senator Allison. Nobody ever saw
him hurried or. Mustered. A radi-
cal idea could have found no 1odg-
ing in his makeup.
He had come into public life fol-
lowing the year between the
States and had accepted the doc
trine that high protective tariff
was God-given, and that the pro-
lection OF the right OF property
90 rule was essential to the safety
OF the republic.
High-minded, with poise and
serenity and free from any un-
worthy motive, the Iowa Idee"
as found in the life and services
Of Mr.. Allison permitted the Ship
Of State to sail on q calm ocean,
unrnffIed by any such tornadoes
as We're let loose by Dolliver when

Fuel Shipments Barred.
Absolute orders were issued by
the French military authorities
against coal and coke shipments
from the Ruhr into unoccupied
parts of Germany. All the fuel
moved must go to France, Belgium
or Italy. the French authorities de-
clared. Sabot&5e, rather than
strikes, appears to be the chief
weapon of the Germans. The Ber-
lin government not only discourages
strikes, but actively opposes them
on the ground they do the German
population more harm than the
French.
Miners Want to Fight.
Striking miners are in an ugly
mood. They say they are ready TO
fight, but have nothing to fight with.

Washington Newspaper Man
Also Lauds Brisbane TO
Cosmopolitan Club.

- Praise for the Hearst newspaper
organization was voiced by ]. Lynn
Yeagie, Sunday editor OF the Wash
ington Post, in an address on the
newspapers of today before the
Cosmopolitan Club today at q
luncheon meeting In the Hamilton
Hotel.
Hearst, more than any other
man, Is the leader in the newspaper
world Of today, declared Mr.. Yeagle.
He ID responsible for the origin OF
the second great function OF the
newspaper today - entertainment.
He developed the comic page to its
present form and is credited with
development OF the fiction page and
other entertainment features"
Pays Tribute to Brisbane.
Mr.. Yeagle also paid high tribute
to Arthur Brisbane, declaring that
he was second only to Mr.. Hearst
and that he had the largest fol-
lowing enjoyed by any newspaper
writer"
Mr.. Yeagle explained that the
day was its window DRESSING, !"
and that 80 per cent Of the news
paper readers read the first page
before turning to the inside.
THE editorial page was formerly
paper. he said. This condition,
however. is changing today. The
editorial writer Is coming to occupy
a less important position. The one
exception is Arthur Brisbane, who
stands by himself. The editorial
page does not have the influence
lit once did.
1.-THE improvement in the news
paper of today is mechanical and
not literary. The literary quality
is dying out in IavoR~ Of straight
news reporting. The literature Of
all classes today Is no better than
lit was 1000 years ago, with a few
exceptions.
Must Please Reader First.
THE literary quality of the news.
paper of twenty years ago was
higher than today-we have gained
by adding speed.
1.-THE theory that the newspaper
caters to the advertiser in prefer
ence to the reader Is wrong. We
must please the reader first. A paper
must take interest in civic affairs
and must stand for the best in its
city.
"The picture page in the daily
paper is a recent innovation. There
are today more than 400 pictures
printed each week in the Wash
ington newspapers"
Because OF the prevalence Of ILL
ness among its members, the club
voted to postpone the ladies' night
program scheduled for next Thurs
day night. A club caucus win be
held at Rauscher's In place Of this
meeting.
A plea was made for support Of
under way In Washington.
Plans We're made for the joint
meeting of local clubs and civic
organizations to be held at the City
Club March 6.

GASOLINE TAX
REPORT GOES
To HOUSE
Provides Reciprocity With
Maryland on Basis OF
2-Cent Levy.

Automobile reciprocity between
the District and Maryland. on the
basis of two-cent gasoline tax.
was favorably reported to the
House today by the House District
Committee.
The report says that the District
Commissioners estimate that the
tax, which is to take the place of
the present registration fee, and
the personal property tax, will yield
in revenue approximately $1,000,0OO
annually, an increase over the
uresent automobile revenue of about
$3.50 900.
The report says: Effective jan
uary /, 1924, this bill provides a
registration fee Of 81 for all motor
vehicles and a tax Of two-cents per
gallon. on all motor vehicle fuel.
It is further provided that this tax
shall be imperative and of no eff
feet unless on or before July l,
1928 the State of Maryland shall
have agreed to permit on and after
January /, 1924. the free and unre-
stricted use of the highways Of
that State by motor vehicles bear
ing registration markers of the
District.
1.-THE above tax on automobile
fuel is collected from the dealer
monthly, upon statements to be
rendered by the dealer to the AS
SCISSOR of the District. The legisla-
ture of Maryland has adopted a
similar tax and authorization has
been conferred upon the governor
Of the State to advise with the
proper officers of the District and
enter into a reciprocal agreement,
which will end the long drawn out
controversy between the District
and Maryland on this subject"
Attached to the report is a letter,
written by the District Commission
ers to Chairman Focht of the Dis
trict Committee, in which an elab-
crate analysis of the gasoline tax
is made and the Commissioners
recommend it's passage.

Embassy Refutes Statements
Credited to Baldwin on
Debt Question.

Mr.. Stanley Baldwin. the chancellor
Of the exchequer. at Southampton
on his arrival there last week:
"Telegraphic inquiries made by
this embassy In London show that
Mr.. Baldwin did NOT grant any in
terview to any representative Of the
press. On arrival he was sur
rounded by ten or a dozen reporters
to some Of which Mr.. Baldwin re-
piled informally. The impression
which his answers created IN the
mind of. the editor of an important
London newspaper is indicated by
the following editorial comment:
1.-THE Chancellor Of the Ex.
chequer has made statement to
the press about his debt funding
mission to the United States. We
do not disagree with his argument,
although it makes him look more
like an American emissary than a
British Chancellor. If he would do
as much to explain the British po-
sition in America as he is doing to
explain the American position to
Britain he might then be a more
useful public servant
1.-THE remarks attributed to Mr..
Baldwin in certain organs of the
American press that the debt had
got on the nerves of the American
people and that Congress would not
be willing to eat it's own legisla-
ton are without discoverable
foundation.
"Mr. Baldwin neither criticized
nor aspersed any section of the
American people. On the contrary
he sought to express his great ap-
probation of the kindness and
courtesy which were extended to
him throughout his recent visit to
this country"
