Prince Charming Goes Woo;n9

announcement calculated TO thrill
n the feminine heart the world over
comes out of London. 1t Is to the
reached his thirteth year, has declared him
self as raedy to fulfill his destiny through
marriage In consequence of this important
bit of news, society, 1t is said, is rearrang
ing its functions with view to putting
forward the most attractive products of
English families; creating, as it were,
dazzling feminine bazaar.
The Prince, by all accounts, Is very
charming young fellow without vices, and
nerve His democracy and personal indie
pendence have at times embarrassed the
royal family, but have not hurt him with
the masses. Reports refer to him as the
most popular man in England Under these
circumstances, IL 1t be true that he Is at
last to go counting, he will find little or no
difficulty in winning bride.
Ten years ago there would have been no
doubt that a royal princess would be
future Queen of England. In such matters
the royal blood has been reactionary to the
last degree, but the circle of royalty abroad
has been strikingy contracted in a decade,
and today the available princesses may be
numbered on the fingers Of one hand. Spain
and Portugal each can supply one, and so
can Italy. Beyond these Greece and
the Balkan states. But relationship makes
some of these inadvisable; and then the
taste of the Prince himself will have to be
consulted Nor should politics be forgotten.
1t is true that in England and Scotland
are many families Of the nobility that carry
a fairly good prestige of royal blood, and
in these are many young women strikingly
beautiful, any one of whom might grace
the throne. But marriage there would not
strengthen the royal family; and it is justly
assumable that in these days of democracy,
and kingly decline, politics will have some

Bible Conference held recently II

Bible Conference held recently IN
Blankenburg.
The delegates to this conference
arc moved by the desire to get at the
basic truths of Christianity and APP
rly them to the present upset aondl-
ton Of the world. There was no talk
Of the Versailles treaty or the re-
sronsibility of governments.
The conference went on record as
being of the opinion that Germany
can expect no relief from mankind
in it's present distress, but must turn
to God if it desires to be freed from
trouble. Sincere penitence and re-
turn to God were pointed out as the
sure remedies for the unhappy state
into which the German people have
fallen. One speaker said God might
lead Germany to spiritual awaken
ing through hard trials, and thus
permit the country to render service
to the entire world.
The resolutions adopted set forth
much the same views that have been
voiced by Count Keyserling, the phil
osophical leader, who is constantly
telling the German public that spirit
ual regeneration would do far more
to cure Europe's present ills than all
sorts of proposed economic and tinan'
| cial remedies.

swimmer and expert diver, decided
to explore the brook. Before taking
the leap into the unknown, Casteret
made his will. Then armed only with
candles, adequately protected from
the water, to dispel the darkness of
the subterranean cavern. the young
student dived in.
The distance between the spot
| where the water disappears into the
| mountain to its outlet. on the other
side measures three quarters of Il
| mile. For three hours friends await
ed in anxiety at the mouth of the
grotto.
Suddenly, dripping with muddy
water, dishevefled and haggard, but
with the grim smile of victory on
his features, the student was shot
ont Of the mountain into the arms
of his exuberant friends.
He told a remarkable story of cour-
age and energy. Fighting against
the current, swimming to the vacil-
lating light of the candle, Casteret,
in many places of the grotto where
the water met with the roof Of stone,
had to halt. Ignorant as to whether
the brook, which in these spots as
sumed exactly the appearance of Il
huge pipe completely filled with
rushing water, would again after n
few feet widen and the swimmer
find open air above his head he had
to decide whether to turn back or to
chance the long swim under water.
He chose the latter.
His courage was rewarded for after
a swim under water, which he reckon
ed at about 20 feet, he emerged into
dry gallery about six hundred feet
long and quite high above his head.
In this grotto .Castefet declared he
discovered a wonderful prehistoric
museum. Upon the walls of the cav
ern, engraved as if with sharp in
strus1ents or painted were mysteri-
Gus characters, in a language which
Casteret had never before seen or
heard Of. Statues of clay, som9 of
them we'll preserved, depicted ami
mails which have long since disap-
peared from the surface of Europe.
Two of these that of a bear and a
tiger, which Casterct said must have
dated at least as far back as 10000
years! were so lifclikc and well pre-
served, that he was of the opinion
that the live animals had become
petrificd with the clay of the earth
in the course Of some cataclysm.
Some Of the members of the jury
argued that while the exploit Of Cas-
teret from spectacular point of
view did not compare with that of
Gerbault, it had far more value
from scientific side. They were
overruled.

YANKEES WOULD
MAKE TRADE
FOR BIB FALK
BY NEA Service.

Chicago, Feb. l2.--Bib Falk, White
Sox outfelder, may figure in deal
that will take him to the New York
Yankees. higgins named Falk as
one of the players he desired, when
Il trade between the SoX and 4anks
was the big topic in baseball year
back. The Yankee leader is still
strong for Falk. believing he has
great possibilities.
Despite great natural ability, Falk
has failed to come up to expectations
az n White Sox. Rumor has it that
he has been dissatisfied with his
be rth for several years. FAX came
TO the White SoX as a pitcher, direct
from a southern college. because of
his ability to nit, he was converted
into an outfelder.
While higgins has plenty of out
field material, he would be more
than willing to take over Falk. In
return, however, he hasn't much TO
offer but cash and the Sox are look
ing for players.
Knowing that Falk has great pros
poets, Frank Chance is said TO favor
holding him over until he can decide
the issue. Chance realizes the weak
ness OF the White Sox in the outfield
and evidently has no intention of let
ting a likely player get away from
him.

If the climate is too cold for corn,
