toned the third party movement as
such for the first time
He was headed for Topeka, Kans.

and those who are perfectly satisfied
with the conclusion will doubtless
vote that way.
probable. that the Democratic party
will win. and win come out in possess

But is there anybody who believes
the third party-the Progressive par

dency. of majority in the Senate and
of a majority in the House? i know
of no one who contemplates that con-
tlngency and l submit to those who
wish to see progress in this country;

IN HOSPITAL WORK
lie Roy Mark Asks Public to
Patronize Benefit Concert
Tomorrow Afternoon.

The efficacy Of radio as an aid In
caring for hospital patients was de-
scribed from the personal experiences
OF nurses and physicians by LIE Roy
Mark. chairman of the Washington
hospital radio fund, in a speech broad
cast last night from WCAP. Mr..

Benefits to Patients.
''If the men and women of Wash
ington could visualize the benefits
of radio sets for hospital patients,
not one would want to have his name
omitted from the list of those helping
to buy headphone sets for every hos
pital bed in the city," said Mr.. Mark.
Radio is invaluable to make the pa
tient forget himself and his troubles
and to help US prevent hospital at
mosphere from becoming depressing
to those struggling to regain health -
Mr.. Mark pointed out that the su-
perintendent of hospital wrote a
letter to the radio fund committee e
citing the case of AN incurable who
for three years had been unable to
sleep without a quieting medicine. A
friend presented him with a crystal
set. and now he sleeps every night

BASIS FOR FRENCH
PAYMENT OUTLINED
Hurley Would Have U. S
Leave Half Collections in
Industrial Investments.

A plan for settlement of the French
debt to the United States. said to be
agreeable TO the French themselves,
was submitted to Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon yesterday by Ed
ward n. Hurley, member of the
American Debt Funding Commission
and formerly chairman of the Ship
ping Board Mr.. Hurley has just re-
turned from Paris after. discussing
the debt proposal with French Off
cials.
The plan. basicly, provides for pay
ment of the debt in 81 years at the
rate of $1O0,0O0.O00 a year and inter-
est together with an agreement by
this government to reinvest half of
the annual payments in French in
dustrial bonds. Other features of the
proposed terms were not disclosed by
Mr.. Hurley. who left Washington
yesterday for his home in Chicago.
Seeks Double Basis.
1t is the hope of the author Of the
plan to create basis for settlement
that will serve the double purpose of
hquidating the French debt to the
United States and at the same time
provide help for French industries
similar to that expected to result for
Germany through the Dawes settle
ment
Mr.. Hurley declared the reinvest-
nent feature should mean revivifica-
ton of French industries. which he
regarded as necessary to any settle
ment with that government Other
wise. he said the tendency would be
to put too great a burden on the
debtor nation.
Mr.. Hurley proposed a requirement
that one-half of the sum reinveSted.
or one-fourth of the total annual
payments be put into new industries,
such as water-power development, a
phase of French Industrial life that
needs attention. Among French in
custrial leaders, he said. the plan was
given a hearty reception, and he ex-
pressed hope that it would serve as
basis. at least. for refunding nego-
tiations between the two govern
mentS.
The proposal was submitted to Mr..
Mellon as chairman of the debt COM
mission, and. it was said, will be con-
sldered at the next meeting of the
commission. the date for which has
not been set

BY HELEN HOFFMAN.

The Prince of Wales has never
been sold in a horse deal. And he
is the best boss in the world. That's
what is said by the men who handle
horses for him and the others who
are in his employ.
Before his highness leaves
America he will show that he is not
given to falling off his horse says
one of the retainers Of the prince.
And what's more, his highness is
an expert on horses. In the many
years he has been buying horses of
one kind or another l have never
known him to be sold on single
horse.
HE can size up a horse quicker
than the oldest horse trader. And
in choosing horses 1t is done with
almost snap Judgment by his high
ness A case of love at first sight,
as it were. His judgment is un-
erring.
Often Takes Experts Advice.
"Of course. he often defers to the
opinion of his experts on certain
points, but in the main he relies on
his own judgment"
The prince is the owner of one OF
the largest stables in the world
Near London, at Raneleagh, the polo
field, he keeps from l5 to 20 polo
for exercise, for their royal owner
visits the field three or four times a
week and plays for a few hours OF
an afternoon.
On these visits he gives the once
over to all the ponies, as though they
were humans dependent on him.
At the Craven Lodge Hunt Club. al
Melton Mowbray, in Leicesershire, the
prince maintains a big stable filled

Upward of 20 of the finest are always

Owns Fine Chasers.
Besides these the prince has severa,
fine horses at his big estate in the
Duchy Of Cornwall, where he main'
tains a good-sized stable. In addi.
ton he is the owner of several OF
EnGland's best chasers.
The prince is fearless rider
otherwise he would not be likely tc
go in for steeplechasing," said his
follower. "The thought of danger,
believe. never enters his mind. He
can take his place with the best OF
'em. 1t gives his family no little con-
Germ.
People from all over the country
are always wanting to sell the prince
a horse. But he is not easy to please
A casual glance at many of those
offered convinces the prince that they
are lacking in pep as you Ameri'
cans say. They may be jumpers, but
one trial often shows that they car
only reach the second rail of five
or six rail fence. Perhaps their own.
ers consider them pretty good horses
to be able to take the second rail
but such riding would be mere baby
riding for his highness.

WALES FINE JUDGE OF HORSES,

then fear is not part Of the prince s
makeup"
The prince, not unlike the late Col.
Roosevelt, possesses an almost SUPER
human faculty for remembering peo-
pie and their names. and II Is partly
due to this that his army of en-
ployes term him the best boss in the
world" From his ranch in Canada
to his London residence those who
work for him are devoted to his
highness
From Nikito. his Japanese ranch
cook, to Thomas Smith, his valet,
travelling with him, Edward p. is an
ideal employer. His valet has been
valeting for the prince almost since
the day he donned knickerbockers.
And then there's Perkins. also trav-
cling with the prince. called in Eng
lish terms the brusher, but in reality
assistant valet.
Have Charge Of wardrobe.
These two men have charge Of the
princes extensive wardrobe, and it
keeps them busy mending and press
ing and brushing. But they don't
mind. They would work their
bloomin' 'eads off" for his highness.
And who wouldn't" they ask?
Some idea of the popularity of the
prince with his employees may be
gained from the fact that there is
always a long waiting list of men
ready to step into any job that may
be vacant in the royal household.
Il once worked for Lord -" said
one. "and you know he would never
as much as notice me. l might have
been a tree or a piece of armor
with the prince, 1t is different. BY
Jove, there isn't man who works for
him that he doesn't know by name.
How are you" he asks and he means
1t.
Watches All He Owns.
while he has so many people to
look after his vast interests and re-
port to him in every detail, If he
wishes it. the prince himself does not
depend on this. He takes a keen in
terest in everything he owns and
there is nothing slip-shod in the way
he looks after his property, whatever
it may be. He is An exacting en-
ployer, but he is never mean about
wages. In fact, his highness is one
| of the most generous souls and one OF
| the best friends a man could have.
IF any one in his employ falls i'll
the prince wants to know about it.
"Once an old employe had been suf-
fering from a long illness. The prince
saw him limping badly. And you'd
way he went up to him. and said
sternly: See here, old man, what are
you doing here" and he sent him
| back home.
And the prince aften surprises
those who are employed by him by
| buying up a lot OF tickets for some
entertainment or sporting affair and
sending them around.
Come Christmas, every bloomin
person who works for the prince is
remembered. Usually it is q money
gift, and not a stingy one either. II

He's not . bit Of snob. You

himself as much as at the drawing
