WALES LONDON
HOME PLAIN
IN EXTREME
Simple Dwelling Of Heir
to British Throne
Amazes Visitors.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-The Prince Of
Wales, although he has a total income
Of between $150,O0O and $4,000 a
year. and has the chance of living
Like q multi-millionaire, has one of the
most unpretentious homes In London,
and lives almost as quietly as a man
endowed with only a fiftieth of his i'm
mense income.
York House. the home of the Prince
Of Wales, lies tucked away in a quiet
corner Of st. James Palace known as
Ambassadors Court. and Its modesty
Is a constant surprise to visitors who
expect to see a building Of the size
and grandeur Of Buckingham Palace
Of the Royal Palace at Potsdam.
INTERIOR is PLAIN.
The interior Of the house is even
The entrance door leads into fairly
spacious hall, around which are placed
various mementoes gathered together
by the Prince during his travels and
experiences.
White doors lead off from the hall
into a plainly furnished ante-room
used as a reception room for callers.
More white doors lead off from the
anteroom to the princes secretariat,
who occupy two rooms on the right of
the anteroom. Doors on the left open
into the dining room, and the re-
mainder OF the space on this floor is
occupied more or less by sitting rooms.
One of the two rooms occupied by
the secretariat is practically filled
with bookcases; two of these contain
bound volumes of press cuttings which
form record of the princes life.
PRIVATE QUARTERS SMALL.
The princes own private apartments
consist of bedroom and writing
room. The former is a small dress
ing room leading off from the chief
bedroom, q room which was occupied
by the present king and queen when
they stayed at York House for time.
This was too big for the princes
requirements, and he preferred to
have the smaller dressing room. His
sitting room, where he works, Is quite
\ small one overlooking the street. 1t
is the only room in the house the
contents of which are the Prince of
Wales, the rest Of the furniture being
Crown property.

history Of the county.
BREAK RECORDS.
Last year 4S,50O poll taxes were
paid and 6000 exemptions given, q
total of almost 30 400 eligible voters.
That number broke all previous rec
ords and is said to have been largely
due to a similar campaign staged by
the orranization.
In line with their efforts to get
residents Of the comfy to pay their
poll taxer, a special appeal is being
made for them to realize the duty
of voting.
MUST USE VOTES.
"If the voters of the county who
have paid their taxes do not vote and
take an active interest in the coming
elections the real purpose of the cam
naign will not be realized" J. 8. Nc
Neel IT., secretary of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce, said Saturday.
I'm the November courthouse bond
election" he said. "only one out of
eight voters went TO the polls. In
the city bond election, only one out
of six voted"
Bringing ont the fact that a minor
ity of the persons living here are run
ming the country, Mr.. McNeel said
that 2S,000.000 eligible voters stayed
away from the polls in 1924, 10000
600 electing the President.
VOTING ON DECREASE.
Attendance at the polls has de-
creased from so per cent of eligible
voters in 1906 to less than so per
cent in 1924, he said.
Hearty support Is being given the
campaign this year. according to Will
liam G. King, chairman, and Travis
B. Morsund, initiator Of the first cam
paign last year.
Following a parade Of the Junior
Chamber last Wednesday, they said.
210 persons paid their poll taxes in
booths established downtown.
Dave Coulter will devote his entire
time during December and January to
running q booth at the Gunter Hotel.

ACTRESS bARES
LOVE Of DUSE
FOR POET
By c. F. BERTELLI
Universal service staff Correspondent


PARIS, Dec. 5.-Eleanor Buses
first and last words concerning ha
great love for D'Annunzio have been
revealed by Cecil Sorel. the emotional
star, to whom the great artist confid.
ed just before sailing TO America.
Duse. at that last meeting with
Mile. Sorel, seemed depressed, appre-
hensive, vaguely dreading the voyage
TO strange shores which proved fatal
In a moment of expansion, after a
long silence. and speaking in dull,
coroless voice as IL thinking aloud,
Duse suddenly spoke.
1.-The world pitied me when Dan
nunzio, poet and dramatist, left me
yet it never suspected that no bitter
ness dwelt in my heart, and that even
In my agony i blessed the great soul
that had breat hed life into me. Before
he came ! did not exist" she said.
OWED HIM ALL.
"He planted in me the seeds OF joy
and of sorrow. No matter what be.
falls me owe him all am, all
have created. II ! reach the heights
of ecstacy in any of my great roles 1t
is due to my memory of him.
IF my voice touches the heart
strings of my hearers. It's the echo
of his voice which thrills them. II l
still love life tits because / remember
the day when ] saw it through his
eyes.
God bless him for having loved
me; and God bless him for having
torn my soul to shreds."
SUBJECT CLOSED.
Mile. Sorel said that the fearless
eyes of the great tragedienne, which
during her dream-like utterance had
opened wide-immense and staring at
nothing or a vision-slowly closed IN
her pallid face. After a few moments
of silence Duse seemed to awaken
she resumed talking in conversation
al tone. Never again did she refer to
her confidence. which for the first and
only time opened view of her heart.
