The Thanksgiving statement in
President Coolidge's own hand
Wrltin g tn at was broadcast
throughout the country by a news
paper syndicate was obtained by a
perseverlng young girl reporter.
White House officials, solicitous
newspapermen and secretaries told
her 1t was impossible. President
Coolidge heard her wish and de
cllned. For the fourth time she
broahed her idea of a signed
Thanksgiving statement personally
and 1t was given out.
During the reign of Edward I,
the Welsh rose against the Eng
hsh declaring that they would
never acknowledge allegiance to
any prince but of their own ma
ton and language and of unblam-
able life. Edward II was born in
a castle at Carnarvon, Wales. and
he was presented to the Welsh
people as a native-born prince of
unblamable life who could speak
no word of English" From that
date the recognized heir to the
English throne has born the title
Of Prince of Wales.

Conquering The Air.

Has man really conquered the
air?
That question arises in the
minds of most of us after the
finding of the wreck of the French
superdirigible, Dixmude, on the
coast of Sicily.
Here was the perfect work Of
man, which was heralded as his
triumph in the battle with the
air, crushed as if it were a toy
balloon.
Proud officers had boosted of
her prowess. She was the queen
of the upper regions, undisputed
and unexcelled.
But man-made as it was, the
Dixmude did not have TIL e
strength to combat successfully
the elements which no human has
ever controlled.
Man may keep on perfecting
the masterpieces of his brain. He
may continue to display his gen
Jus and his resourcefulness in
many lines of endeavor, but there
is a. greater power than his-an
unseen power-over which he has
no control.
The Titantic, the majestic mis-
tress of the sea in her day, was
splintered by an iceberg.
Vast and impressive buildings
have been laid low by tornadoes.
The proud empire of Japan was
stripped of her glory and her ma
terial accumulations by shaking
of the earth.
And innumerable world disasters
crowd themselves upon US to re-
mind man that humbleness is still
a virtue.-Exchange.

Duke Called Canada
Dreary Part of Globe

Edward Augustus, duke of Kent,
and father of Queen Victoria, was
stationed in Canada from 1897 to 1899,
a part of the time in Halifax. In let
ters concerning the army in Canada,
and addressed to Lord Melville, it ap-
pears that the duke disliked Canada,
which he described as this dreary
corner of the GLOBE" and in nearly
every letter asked to be ordered
home.
IN one letter, dated from Halifax
in 1899, the duke wrote: "You will re-
ceive at the same time with this an
official letter from me on the subject
of the force allotted for North Amer
lea. I certainly flatter myself that /
shall not remain here long enough to
see the reinforcements arrive. for the
last accounts, by the October mail,
speak with so much confidence of the
completion of the union at the meeting
of the Irish parliament that with nv
reliance on Mr.. Pitts promise and
your friendly eXertions in my behalf.
my hopes are very sanguine of being
recalled"

Boy Scouts and the Church

That the church is the frequent re-
cipient of scout good turns is shown in
the scores of reports which reach the
National Boy Scout council. Among
such good turns are: Conducting tbe
aged, blind and crippled to and from
services, leveling off the church
ground, caring for the lawns and
building. sewing up the carpets, mend
ing hymn books, planting trees and
shrubbery, distributing church papers.
putting up church notices, recruiting
Sunday school pupils, helping as ush-
ers and at bazaars and socials. and
making city-wide religious surveys.

Corporation Counsel Proposes Amendment to City Charter

As result of suggestion made by Corporation Counsel John II. Kirk ham to the ordinance committee of the common council last night. it is likely that the legislature may be ask ed to amend this city's charter in such way that the police board will be placed in sole charge of traffic rcgu- iation. Judge kirktam explained that the police department is in clos er touch with traffic. The department could try out proposed changes and place signs warning the public of the new laws. There would then be no need of passing ordinances such as have been made during recent years with constant changes.
