Carpenter Tells How People of Sweden Defeated the Boot

from Chicago, but he lived In palace.
He slept in the bed OF a prince, and
entertained gorgeously for Uncle
Sam where royalty trod. Moreover.
there Is an interesting romance con-
cerning his palace. It was built with
money furnished by the car as a
wedding gift to the Princess Maria,
one of the royal family Of Russia.
Her full title Is the Grand Duchess
Maria Polovna and she was a daugh-
ter Of the Grand Duke Paul Alex
androvitch and the niece Of the czar
who was killed by the bolshevists.
She was married to the second son OF
the reigning King OF Sweden. Prince
Wilhelm, Duke of Sodermanlend.
After the wedding the duke came to
live in the palace. which afterward
became the American legation. The
prince was then twenty-four and the
princes eighteen. They spent their
honeymoon in the palace and had a
SON there. but as time went on the
how accord with the Russian, and the
Princess Maria decided to leave. She
crossed the Baltic to Berlin and there
in q railway station was met by her
brother. the Grand Duke Dmit-i. who
took her back to Russia with him.
She escaped from Russia in time to
avoid the terrible fate OF others Of
the royal family. and ran of to Paris.
where she got a divorce. When she
left Russia she had only her jewels
and these kept her alive for some
time. They were all finally sold, and
now she is earning her living by
keeping an embroidery and dress
making shop at the French capital.
where she sells goods over the coun-
ter. The son. in the meantime, has
been adopted by the Queen Of Sweden,
and he is being brought up in the
royal palace.
Prince Wilhelm, who was always
fond OF the Princess Maria and de-
voted to her, has since wandered
far and wide in his grief. He has
diluted his sorrow with science, hav-
ing equipped several large exploring
expeditions and travelled in widest
Africa and parts Of South America.
where 1t is claimed no white man
had been seen before he came there.
He had in his parties as many as
twenty or thirty scientists, and his
researches are said to be of value.
Some OF his articles have been pub
lished in American magazines. He
has given a. lecture on Africa during
my stay in Stockholm.

temperance movement in every
country I have visited since I
J. crossed over to Europe. I found

there is not great and the peasants
are still more or less under the infiu-

drinking of wine and of brandy. 1t

to develop to any extent with the
Dutch. Holland sticks to it's gin, and

Of 400 recipes for American drinks

sterdam the night of the queens
birthday and the streets were crowded
with men gloriously drunk.
Denmark, that country of the help
full hen and the cooperative egg, has
now 100000 members in its temper

drinking high per cent liquor, sing
ing the while songs like the chicken

100000 In Gems
Are Stolen in Year

philadelphia. Feb. 17.-Hold-ups
committed by boys and youths,
often drug addicts, are response
bic for more than so per cent
of the robbcries and losses suf-
fered by jewelers. in the United
States. according to a report of
the Jewellers Security Alliance,
made public here.
The report shows that burg
laries were largely responsible
for loss of thousands of dollars
worth of Jewels in 1922, while
hold-ups and window smashing
are increasing. Shoplifting is de-
creasing.
A decrease of more than $780,
600 under the 1921 figure is re-
ported in the losses sustained by
dealers in gems, and the number
of hold-ups, burglaries and win
dow smashings decreased from
97S in 1921 to III in 1922,
Chicago leads with the worst
record, followed by New York,
Kansas City, Minneapolis, st.

Denver and San Francisco show
great improvement and are said
to be virtually free from the gem
thieves.

from New York to San Francisco
in 80 hours with one stop for
fuel at Omaha.
Fifteen men, including pilot,
mechanics and gunners, will man
the bomber.
Although primarily fighting
craft, the Barring will be used in
times of peace for aerial map
making, observation and transport
service.
With its heavy guns dismounted
and the load lightcred in every
way possible, the Barring will be
able to carry Il ten-ton bomb to
a given point and drop it. \ ten
ton aerial bomb is sufficient to
destroy city of $4,000 popUla-
ton.
The triplane is named for W.
H. Darling, Of the British air
forces, its designed. Darling cam"
to America during the war and
was employed by the government
in special aeronautical expert
ments.
Parts for the huge plane con-
structed in New Jersey, were
shipped here on eight flat ears.
They were rotted over lines hav-
ing no tunnels or bridges with
over head construction. When it
arrived officials of the great in
termediate air depot --McCook
Field-say they would be unable
to successfully assemble the parts
under cover. The open spaces OF
McCook Field also could not be
turned over to the work.
II was therefore decided that
work of piecing the ship together
would have to be done in the
open at Wilbur wright Field.
Officials said the plane will not
be ready for trial flight before
April.
Barling's plans call for COM
plete system OF telephone COM
municatiou between the pilot and
his six engineers. Each of the
400 horsepower motors will be
manned by Il special engineer.
Each motor drives separate pro
peller.
Army air service officials at
McCooc field declared they chad
no idea what the bus will do
when she goes Oh her own power"
They are not as skeptical con-
corning the Darling, however, as
aviators usually are concerning
new air projects of this magnl-
tude.
Darling, it is pointed out, has
proved his ability in this field
and should know what he is do
inc. And Barring says the plane
will fly.
1t is admitted, however, that
thus far the Barling's qualities
have been worked out only on
paper.
The men who arc closely asso-
ciatcd with the production Of the
big ship have confidence it will
do what the plans indicate,

CITY "FOLLIES"
At THE ALDINE
Wilmington Girls Have
Clever Act for Entertain
ment of Friends

The chorus OF Wilmington girls
who appear at the Aldine this after
noon IN the "Follies" act will sur
prise their townsfolk with the ease
and professional air OF their work.
Frank Hughes, professional director,
who has had charge of the training
OF the young women, says he has
found real professional talent among
the girls OF the city. Their work
in the ensemble numbers. the special
~ dances and songs and the Ballet
of Beautiful Faces" would do credit
to any group OF highly-trained and
professional entertainers.
The first performance OF the act
will be given this afternoon. A cast
of Broadway players will assume the
leading roles OF the piece.
The Wilmington girls in the act
are: Radie Henderson, Marguerite
Deganais. Emily Smith, Leone
Brown. Evelyn Halter, Mildred
Moore. Marguerite Abbott. Helen
Cole, Anna Dougherty. Dorothy
Pierce, Hillie Stirling, Helen Logan.
Helen Ashenbach. Loly Pyle, Hilda
Anderson. Ruth Stierle, Nellie Will
liams Peggy Westwood, Elizabeth
Blocksom, Rosie Windsor. Marion
Schlin, Alice Payne and Dorothy
Garfield.
A popularity contest is being CON
Quoted in conjunction with the en-
gagement OF the Follies. The Morn
ing News is printing a coupon be-
ginning today which entities the
holder to five votes for the favorite
girl in the Follies. A ballot will
also be given out at the Aldine The
atre. 1t will count but for one vote
and like the News ballot must be
put in the box for that purpose in
the lobby of the theatre. The votes
must be cast before Saturday after
noon at three o'clock. The young
women receiving the highest num-
ber of votes will be awarded gold
wrist watches.
The Wilmington Follies will play
for the entire week, although the
