Prince of Wales

The title of prince of Wales, be
slowed on the male heir first in line
to succession to the throne of Great
Britain, originated in the Fourteenth
century. Edward l, king of England
who accomplished the conquest OF
Wales, created the title in 1901.
Tradition has 1t that when baby
prince was born In one Of the castles
newly built in Wales by the victorious
monarch, the baby was presented to
the Welsh people as prince "who
could not speak English" When the
boy was seventeen, according to the
story, his father formally made him
prince Of Wales. He later became
King Edward II. His son, Edward Ill
was known as Edward Of Windsor and
was never made prince Of Wales. But
1t has since become an invariable GUS
tom to honor the heir to the throne In
this way.
The title is not hereditary, but must
be created for each prince so honored.
Being purely honorary, no power or
authority is attached to 1t, although
parliament votes a yearly sum for the
support of its holder-Detroit News.

little while ago he visited the navy
yard In Charlestown. and somehow ne
managed to get aboard q vessel from
which visitors were at the time ex-

upon the deck and told him that ne
could not remain. The visitor swelled

the United States, that as such ne
owned part of the warship upon which
he was standing, and that he had full
right to be aboard and would not de-
part.
The officer looked at BIN moment.
Then he walked over to an anchor

scraped bit of rust from 1t. Return

If today is your birthday you prob
ably have a visionary and an indo-
lent disposition. To accomplish any,
thing worth while, you will always
have to force yourself to work, as
your inclination will be quite the
reverse.
You undoubtedly possess great Wis
ion and ability to make quick deci-
sions. which, if they had been acted
made. would prove to have been
correct. Your dilatoriness, however,
will more often than not deter you
from taking proper advantage of
your farsightedness or reaping any
benefit from your quick and correct
conclusions.
You have a very keen insight into
the motives of other people, but here
again you will often fail to act, even
to save yourself from trouble.
Your conversation will be enlight-
ening and instructive, although, at
times you will be impatient of those
who cannot see things as quickly as
you do or who lack vision.
AS in business, so in love you will
lose many a golden opportunity, as
no girl likes a lazy lover.
A woman born on this date is liable
to be indolent, visionary and without
the solid attributes that make for
happiness over a long period of time,
as she finds it irksome to make a
continued effort to attract or please.
Both men and women of this date
will in spite of their many weak
