The prince is on his way to Ottawa where he will attend the wedding February II of his brother. Prince Eric and Miss Lois Frances Booth.
 The prince, q tall slender young fellow, seemed extremely nervous as the big liner warped into her dock and he anKiously scanned the crowd gathered on the pier. Miss Green was not there 10 greet him, but he was met by Prince Christian of Hesse, a close friend. Prince Niggo said he didn't want 10 discuss his reported engagement to Miss Green. who is the daughter of Dr. James 0. Green and q grand daughter of the late Peter Cooper. He was perfectly willing to admit, however, that Prince Eric. was off cially" engaged, and explained that in order to marry eommoner his brother had necessarily renounced his right of succession 10 the Danish throne,
 He evaded direct reply 10 a ques- ton if he himself had renounced his rights of succession. but said:
 T never thought of being a king" |. A reporter showed him a newspa- per in which il was announced that Miss Green was planning to hold a reception for him Friday.
 He took the paper eagerly, scanned ii for a moment and said:
 That will be very nice. Is that her picture?"
 The prince said he would remain in New York until February &, three days before the wedding, but would not say where he would stop except that il would be on Lexington avenue Dr. Greens home is on Lexington avenue.

Baldwin's invitation, and the meeting 10 be held Friday is the result. 's
 A London dispatch Tuesday night announced the mmoning of thois conference, adding that both the Free State and Ulster governments had ac- cepted the invitation. with Sir James Craig and the Marquise of London derry to represent northern Ireland.
 By the terms of the Angio-lrish treaty Ulster. failing to reach an agreement with the Free State, must have her boundaries rearranged by a boundary commission with one rep resenting each for Great Britain.

RAIL AMALGAMATION
 GIVES GOOD SERVICE
Forming of Companies Into Four
 Groups Proves Successful

London, Jan. 30. Better and cheaper railway service for the people Of England, Scotland and Wales are among the results of the first years working Of the amagamation of 12. railway companies into four groups, according to 8 statement issued on behalf Of the companies.
 Heavier expenditure and new capi- tai outlay have been needed for the improvements which have been aC- complished, and may continue 10 be needed for some time, according to the statement. However the traNef- ing public has benefited by the re- dnction of passenger fares from the abnormal rates which ruled after the war to only 90 per cent more than the pre-war figures, a reduction which was inaugurated at the time of the amalgamation of the lines at the be- ginning of 1928 There have been corresponding reductions in excursio;. and other cheap fares.
 Freight rates were reduced during the year to general average of 50 per cent more than pre-war figures. Dock charges at the various railway owned docks also have been reduced.
 Extensive programs of excursions, fully equal if not superior 10 those in force before the war, have been feature of the past year, and the pop nlarity of these cheap tips from anywhere to anywhere" was illus trated in the ministry of transport statistics for August when excursion nd more than 21.000,00 or about double those of August 1922.
 According to the railway companies, among the first results of grouping were the greatly reduced times occu- pied in journeys between London and Scotland, the south and west of Eng land and other parts of the country. Some of the cuts in previous quick est times have been exceptional, par ticularly on the east and west coast routes to Scotland, A new record has been set up by the Great Western with its swindon to Paddington run of 77.3 miles in 75 minutes, an aver age speed Of SIS miles an hour.
 The rolling stock, passenger and freight. of all groups is in process or standardization, both as to color and design.
 Altogether, schemes Of extension md development of railways and docks. costing from s150.000.00o to s2oo,o0o,0o have been decided upon during the past ytar. and win as rap idly as possible be put into opera tion.
 Electridcation developments on tho southern Railway have been com mrnecd, and the identification of sub urban lines Of other groups is under consideration. These schemes will provide employment throughout the country for large number of men.

 H. J. Allen Co.,, West Lynn. Mass.
 Gentlemen-I am so enthusiastic about your Lung Healer that I want you to know what it has done for me. l had given up all hope of ever cur ing cough that began 20 years ago. It was a hard, rasping cough that used to keep me awake four and five hours almost every night. My throat as parched and there seemed 10 be punches in my throat.
 Other medicines even cod liver oil. had no more effect than water but when first took the Lung Healer it seemed to clear path through the fullness in the throat and allay the irritation as nothing else had ever done. After taking the first bottle I was wonderfully relieved and ;he punches in my throat disappeared and I slept without coughing bit. After few weeks was rid of the cough, and you may rest assured that life took on a rosicr aspect 10 me after that. Today l have no lung trouble at all and I give the Lung Healer all the credit.
 I have given it to my children at different times, with just as effective results. IL is also splendid body builder.

is figuring on speed enough to make
fight for something just one notch
better than second place, because last
year ii was the Fort Worth Panthers
who won the championship. but 1t
was San Antonio. with its big bunch
of hitters, that crowded Fort Worth
when some of the other clubs failed
to DO much.
After the batting that the San An
tonic fans saw in 1923, there are some
who wonder whether the city ever
will be satisfied again with anything
short of walloperS who can pound the
ball until the fences ring with the
echoes of the cannonade.
The old ground may pass along with
the coming of another season. San
Antonio is growing and localities
have shifted as they have in other
cities of Texas. There are more fans
to be reached if the diamond is SHIFT
ed to another quarter of the city.
But what flood Of memories will
so with it. because here, as on no
other bit of Texas soil. have the big
leaguers fought their spring battles
with each other and with the minor
leaguers.
But we've got to meet a constantly
growing interest in base ball in Tex
as said the far-seeing owner NO
state in the Union likes its base ball

In time Philadelphia may turn out
better than Brooklyn. If It should so
happen Brooklyn would be the tail
ende" instead Of Philadelphia. Such
seems all that is to be CLEANED out of
watching both teams in action. The
Phillies play rugged base ball Theirs
is no child'S game and if they could
run over the base ball world roughshod
they might be more than rivals to an
thing in the second division.
With what he has Fletcher has done
well. To say with what he has is
not to discredt all of the Philadelphia
players. A better effort no team could
make than the Phils have been making,
but natural skill is less in evidence than
in the case of the Boston New York
and Cincinnati clubs. The first two are
far more sprightly. and if the Reds are
not as fleet of foot as other mines their
teamwork is admirably excellent as it
goes.
More Onense Than Defense.
When all the Phillies hit together
they smash hard. They are line drivers.
but they cannot all hit together when
the pitching against them is good.
Judging by their play, 1t appears that
their greatest success must be with the
bat Easy fielding games they will
handle well Games Of difficult chances
will make them guess
Ring is the king pitcher of the team.
The others are workers Hubbeil gives
all his energy to every game in which
he takes part and is a patient. de-
I, rrnined man. if there ever was one.
The club will do we'll enough be-
hind the bat but the catcher must
nurse pitchers not Of high grade
and who lack the curves. twists, bends
and shoots that make the Cincinnati
bunch formidable. Ford at second is
faster than Tierney. but never will
bat AS the latter does. If Tierney fits
in with the Boston team AS he may
