King George Is Finest Shot in England;
Believes in Duty; Fond of Simple Things

! writing personal letter with quill
pen and ink.
| At 1890 more often than not he il
tions-no small duty-and at o'clock
he goes to his family lunch. This Is
| just an ordinary family affair, with
the most simple menu. Indeed, since
I the war Buckingham Palace has be-
come noted for its simple but well
cooked meals
The only outward display OF royalty
is the red coated footmen. Queen
Mary sits at one end of the table, the
king at the other. Frequently Queen
! Alexandra, the kings mother. comes
! to this meal, also the Duke of Con-
naught, the kings uncle, or the
! queens fayorite brother. Alexander Of
Teck, now Duke of Athione, or else
a cabinet minister. or an ambassador,
or one Of the few personal friends of
the king.
! After lunch. unless there is an in
vestiture or other ceremonial function,
the king spends an hour reading in
the smoking room or talks with q
! friend. Cling George is an inyeterate
reader. He reads blue books by tho
score. dives into nearly every impor-
tant memoir published and reveis in
history Of Georgian times. His knowl-
edge OF the American war of indie
perdence is practically unrivaled, and
he divides his admiration for Nathan
Hale only with Maj. Andre.
Reading. shooting, riding and stamp
collecting are King Georges hobbies;
his stamp collection is probably the
finest in the world and the only thing
mat really tempts the king 70 turn
from arduous duties.
, BY $50 relaxation is over and King
/ George leaves the palace on one of
/ mis- many tours OF factory inspection
hospital visiting or monument un-
yelling. BY he is back, and from
I'LL dinner time King George is free
to do more or less as he likes.
THE king has few intimates. He is
really lonely man. very in
| tense. very studious. with no very
great sense Of humor and very outes
/ of voice. His best friends, with
whom he shoots, rides and talks ara
the Hon. Harry Stoner. whom the
King naturally calls Harry: Lord
Desborough, formerly "Will!e" Gren-
| fell; Sir Sidney Grevtlle, the Duke OF
Devonshire and Admiral Sir Seymour
Fortescue, his old shipmate in the
sailoring days. when Victoria was
queen: Sir Charles Gust, Sir Give
"igram and Mai Philip HunIoke.
/ with these men the king takes his
walks, plays cards and sometimes
visits. They are all real friends or
the king: they look on him first, OF
course. as their royal master, but be-
! meath they recognize in King George
a man who is full of information.
! fond of simple things. the last word
/ In conscientiousness and a good COM
panion.
! Evenings King George devotes TO
his family. After dinner, which is
just the same in unpretentiousness
as lunch, the king and his family
visit a theater, possibly, or sit around
IN the drawing room, talking and
reading. Sometimes the king will
pay private call on ono OF his
friends who may be sick, in which
case he drives Off unostentatiousIv
in closed brougham or motor car 70
make his call. followed. of course, by
the ever-present but -effacine de-
tectiyes.
! By II o'clock King George is ready
! to retire.

Youngest World War Veteran.

Youngest World War Veteran.
TINE oldest veteran Of the wofld
war by quite majority of
years is Lieut.. William N.
williams. u. S. A., retired, Of
1900 Connecticut avenue. Lieut.. VIII
liams will observe his eighty sixth
birthday anniversary on January Is.
Naturally he also holds the record
as the oldest member of the Ameri-
can Legion and Of George Washington
Post No. 1. the pioneer post in the
legion. He attended the national
convention held at Kansas City in
1921 as the guest of George Washing
ton Post. He was to have attended
the convention in New Orleans as the
distinguished guest of the District of
Columbia department of the legion.
Owing to illness OF Mrs. Williams,
however, he was unable to go to New
Orleans. 1t was the intention of
Lieut.. Williams, II he had attended
the convention. to seek the floor OF
the gathering and, in person, offer
his resolution urging the legion to
change the name OF convention to en-
campment, which he says would be
more appropriate for a veteran or
ganization. However, his resolution
was introduced by the District dele
CATION. He is at present the surgeon
OF the post.
dad" Williams. as he Is called by
the boys of Washington Post. was
born on January Is, 1887. at Newton
Stewart, County Tyrone, Ireland. He
came to America with his parents
when he was three months old. At
the outbreak of the war between the
United States and Mexico in 1S46 he
tried to enlist as drummer boy. but
was repeatedly rejected, owing to his
youth. In talking Of his attempts to
enlist during that war he tells an
amusing incident OF how his father
found him in one of tho recruiting
stations and gave him a spanking in
the presence OF the Army officers.

THERE are those who have thought
4 that perhaps woman's entrance
in the political arena would cause her
to forsake, IN part, If not wholly. her
attire. or perhaps would dim the ages
old love of pretty things, and while,
of course, it is not possible for Mrs.
Huck or any other mortal on the face
of this earth to successfully prophesy
what milady Of 1860 will wear, yet
she is of the opinion that women will
dress pretty much as they do now.
To put 1t into words. Mrs. Huck said:
1T is hard to say what the next
change in womau's attire will be, but
/ am inclined to believe 1t will con-
tinue along the lines Of sensibieness.
Whatever the change may be, feel
very sure that she will always love
the beautiful things, whether she
express them in her clothes or not"
There 4re some feminists who de-
clare that the advent OF woman in
Congress has had a beneficial effect
on legislation, and the more extreme
feminists are like campaign managers
before election, claiming everything.
Mrs. Huck, however. does not hold
this extreme view. Upon this sub
tect she said:
although it is apparent. that the
woman's view has had some influence
on legislation. do not believe that
the woman representative has yet
produced legislation that can be at
trsbuted solely to the woman. How

Stay off the damp ground. avoid ex- posture, keep feet dry, eat no sweets of any kind for while, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of lad Salts occasionally to help keep down uric and toxic acids.
 Rheumatism is caused by poison toxins, called acids, which are gene rated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed. thus forcing the kidneys to do double work: they be- come weak and sluggish and fail to Eliminate this poison, which keeps ac- cumulating and circulating through the system. eventually settling in the joints and muscles. causing stiffness. soreness and pain, called rheumatism. q At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts: put tablespoon full in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week.

 Chinese Pennington-summo in hot haste by his henchman-arrived at the foot of yarney's steps bare hundred yards behind Rabat-Pilai. ! He took the flight at bound and, , pistol in hand, made headlong for the traders living room. H. As he flung open the door, a scene of utter chaos met his eyes. The door at the far end of the room was wide open. Between this and where he stood a table had been overturned, from behind which trickled a steady, dark stream. The chimney of the swinging lamp was shattered and the atmosphere was thick with smoke and soot. One window had been wrenched clean from its fastenings and the bookcase in the corner had fallen forward-7arrested halfway by a chair-and had tipped its contents into jumbled heap.
 He pushed the table back into place and recoiled in horror.
 A sv, ft,r rhar nf lay full on his face. Beneath him, dashed to chair, lay second form that kicked and rocked to and fro in impotent fury.
