QUEEN POSES IN BED
Marie Of Jugoslavin Has Pictures
 Taken With Infant Son

British women are deeply inter ested in the publication in all illus trated newspapers of pictures of the young queen of Jugoslavia- lying in bed Fwith her infant son, the heir to the throne.
 This Is the first time that mon arch's consort has been photographed in bed, and 1t Is also the first time that a queen has been photographed with her hair flowing loose. over her shoulders, and also the first time a king has been shown sitting at the royal bedside, holding baby in his arms.
 Queen Marie. a beautiful young brunette, Is seen wearing a nightie adorned with a costly lace necklet. She is also pictured with mag nificent pearl necklace as she lies in a plain brass bedstead with the infant crown prince pillowed in her left arm.
 Another photograph represents the heirs grandmother, the queen of Rumania, fondling and kissing the Balkan prince.
 What appeals particularly to so- ciety leaders here is that while stage beauties invariably are ,tastefully marcelled when subjected to the camera, inc bed or out, the queen of Jugoslavia consented to admit the photographer before her maid had even brushed her hair.

SIGNS NUT TALK FOR ROYAL COUPLE.
Newest Of European Lovers Know Little Of Others
 Language

LONDON, Nov. s.-(By Associated Press.)-Crown Prince Gustav of Sweden and Lady Louise Mountbat- ten, the newest of Europe's royal newlyweds, have an imperfect knowl- edge of each others native language: Several weeks ago in the course or the princes lengthy incognito visit in England he decided to brush up his English, but said nothing about 1t to Lady Louise.
 Her ladyship, at about the same time, decided that since she presum- : ably was to be the future queen Of the Swedes she should improve her ability in their language.
 The prince made inquiries among his friends as to the best academy for his study of English and was recommended to one that specializes in several of the European tongues. When he entered to take his first lesson he was greatly surprised to see his fiancee in the waiting room.
 What are you doing hereg' each asked, and then, after a laugh, they walked away together, deciding to instruct each other after becoming man and wife. instead of spending in study the hour that belonged to courtship.

DEBATES OVER RADIO

Radio listeners-in having heard some of the speeches by prominent men which have been broadcast here recently are asking for more. Agi- tation has been started to have par liamentary debates sent out by radio every day, wireless fans believing that the speeches would be far more interesting this way than in cold newspaperprint.
 So much has the demand gone that a question subject is to be asked in the House of Commons when parlia- ment assemblies. Meantime some of the papers have thrown open their columns to the opinions of their readers.

NO QUARTER TO RODENTS

This Is rat week" in England. Be- ginning tomorrow rodents from Lands End to John OGroat's will have to run for their lives from the combined forces of the farmers and townspeople who have been told of fically by the ministry of agricul- ture that rats annually destroy 15,- 100000 pounds sterling in foodstuffs and do untold damage in other ways.
 The rat population of the British Isles numbers about 40,000,0 ,000, and it is therefore nearly as large as the human population of England, Scot land and Wales. It has been pointed out that If everyone assumes respon- sibiiity for exterminating one rat, then the country will be cleared of the pests. but if the people do not rise to their duty as laid down by parliament in. the rat and mice de- structive act of 1919, then King Georges rats will soon outnumber his subjects on the British Isles.

POE I LAUREATE |S TO VISIT AMERICA pr. Bridges Literary Output
 Is Small But Is
 Classical

LONDON, Nov. s.-Dr. Robert Bridges. England's silent poet laure- ate" is preparing to leave for the United States to take up the fellow ship of creative art at the University of Michigan,
 As he5 sails. probably early next month, the last thought of people over here who think about such things will be that whatever effect the American climate has on him, it cannot reduce by much his poetic output
 pr. Bridges, now 79 years of age, is not a born poet. He graduated from Eton and Oxford, studied med icine at St Bartholomew's hospital here. and became a hospital physician before poetry really claimed him, and he began to devote his whole time to it.
 He retired from medicine in 1882, and since then has won the reputation of being England's "only classical poet" He has written poetic plays and one hymnal as well as ordinary poems.
 Appointment Not Popular.
 In 1913, Dr. Bridges was made poet laureate of England by the liberal asquith government. The appointment was not over-popular, as Rudyard Kipling might be said to have been the peoples choice-but Kipling was conservative, So Dr. Bridges took up the life job as the Kings private poet, and began drawing hls salary of S350 year, with Sl3b extra in lieu of an annual butt of sack which people at home may no long CT remember is a cask containing l26 gallons of wine. Poets laureate used . to draw the allowance in liquid form; but recent ones have elected to lubricate their Tyres with lighter oil.
 Six months after he became laure- ate, Dr. Bridges burst into song with a poem entitled Christmas Eve" But since then his twangings of the lute have been few and far between. He wrote a long ode on the ter-centenary Shakespeare in 1916, and though the Armistice in 1918 left him cold, he

 recent time failing to respond to criticisms of his silence. He has been attacked in parliament for his failure to write more, and newspaper men have besieged him at times. To one newspaper man who told him what people were saying, Dr. Bridges waxed talkative.

 fl don't care -" he said
 pr. Bridges spends nearly all of his time in a secluded house at OK ford, playing chess and tending to his splendid rose garden. He dislikes vis- itors, and few people, even around Oxford, know who he is. He may be Identified by his wide sombrero and his white mustache and modified van dyke beard. As a sample of his light CT vein. the first verse of his Thanks giving day poem may be quoted; "Aftoast for west and east

MAN STRONGER SEX

The dynamometer, a strength test ing machine which Dr. w.

But when 1t comes to re- sistance, the female of the species is not so far behind. The ergograph. a more refined instrument for the measurement of resistance power, shows that men average 3s per cent stronger than women.

Science removes spirituality from the
