Why the Duke and Duchess Of York
Are on Their African Huntine Trip

thing for long for an unmarried
Prince of Wales.
1t was in March. 1929, that they
were married in Westminster Abbey.
the duchess having been Lady Eliza
beth Bowes-Lyon, daughter of the
Earl of Strathmore.
Last year, being the first of their
married life. no very big splurge was
expected of them during the season,
and thanks to Princess Marys opu-
lent husband, Viscount Lascelles, who
lent them Chesterfield House, they
were able to give the requisite num-
Der of entertainments without being
set back very seriously financially.
But this year really big things will
be demanded from them. 1t is ex-
pected that they will give series of
lavish entertainments, probably at
Marlborough House, and though I'M
doubtedly Queen Alexandra-the pres
ent tenant of this mansion-will be
willing to let them have 1t rent free,
1t would be out of the question for
the duke and duchess to carry out
anything like the program they have
in mind were 1T not for the fact that,
while on their four-month African
holiday, they will spend a mere frac-
ton of what 1t costs them to live
when at home.
r y
TN order that the situation may be
clear, let's see just what this in
teresting young royal couple have to
live on, and about what their normal
expenses are.
The dukes income from the state
since his marriage has been f25, 900
or roughly S125,000 a year; ana the
Duchess of York has an income of
$1,000 year in her own right. The
duke, when he reached the age of IS
began to receive an income OF 10000
from the state under the act of set
tlement passed on the accession OF
King George to the throne, which
made provision for the children OF
the sovereign.
During the 10 years that elapsed
between 1913, when the Duke of York
began to receive his allowance OF
$1,000 a year, and 1923, when he mar
ried, he saved nearly 100000, and
from this now derives an income OF
about $1,000 year. The total gross
income of the duke and duchess
amounts, therefore, to f2S,000 a year
On this income the duke pays income
tax to the extent of about $4,000 a
year, and his subscriptions to
charity (Which may be regarded as a
regular annual charge on his income)
amount to $4,000 yearly.
Something like another $4,000 a year
goes in meeting the travelling and
other expenses of the duke and
duchess, who constantly have to full

TO hrs attachments as an artist
Rockwell Kent has added such
bold strokes of adventure that it
takes the pen of an unusual writer
to recount them. That Mr.. Kent
himself proves such a writer is at
once evident in this article-the
Grst of a remarkable series Of four.
Rockwell Kent Is a native of
Tarrytown Heights, n. y, where
he was born ~ years ago. He
studied art under William NJ.
Chase, Robert Henri, Hayes MIL
Ter and Abbott II. Thayer. His
paintings have been on exhibition
in the Metropolitan Museum of
Art. New York, and other cities of
the United States, as well as in
Italy. France, England, Germany
and Brazil.
In 1909 he married Miss Kath-
leen Whiting of Lanesboro, Mass.
for whom the Kathleen of his voy-
age was named.
Other experiences of Mr.. Kent
In the region of TERRA del Fuego,
while pursuing his project of
reaching Cape Horn in a small
boat, will be found in ''Noyaging
Southwark from the Straits of
Magellan" He is also author of a
book of Alaskan adventure, en-
titled Wilderness"

fill various official engagements IN
different parts OF the kingdom. His
royal highness is thus left with a net
income of $1,000, or roughly $4,000
year
That Is quite a bunch of money,
and were the Prince Of Wales married,
the income of the Yorks probably
would more than suffice, for the
tastes of both are simple, and If
their position permitted, they could
be quite happy living quietly among
the small group. of their intimate
friends.
The home Of the duke and duchess,
White Lodge, situated in Richmond
Park, lies about IL miles outside
London. 1t is a beautiful house, but
the duke and duchess occupy only
half Of 1t. The other half, for the
time being. is occupied by the Prince
and Princess Paul of Serbia, who
partly share the running expenses of
the establishment
White Lodge is what is known as a
royal gift residence; that is to say,
IT is crown property, the sovereign
having the right to lend 1t to any one
he pleases.
The Duke of York has therefore no
rent to pay, but the upkeep OF the
establishment at White Lodge, after
OeQuCllng what Is PAID by Prince
Paul. amounts to about $4,000 year.
This means that the duke has $1,000
a year left with which TO meet all the
personal expenses of himself and the
duchess in the way of stable and
garage expenses, dress, wine, cigars,
tips, theaters, etc. say $4,000 a year in
all, leaving $4,000 q year for enter
tanning expenses
1t would be simply impossible for
the duke and duchess to attempt, out
of this sum, to entertain on a big
scale except for q few months in the
year at the most, and their royal
highnesses can only do this by prac-
ticing the strictest economy for the
rest of the year.
THE Prince of Wales, to do him
justice, would be perfectly will
Ing, while he is a bachelor, to allow
his brother 100000 or 100000 a
year in order to enable him to live as
the prince himself would live were
he married, but both the Duke and
Duchess of York are far too proud to
consent to become pensioners Of the
heir apparent.
Rather than do so, they prefer to
save where they can, and both well
coined the plan of a. visit to British
East Africa as providing an opportu-
nifty to economic to the extent of
many thousand pounds. 1t would not

Godfrey Archer, entertains them-at
the colony's expense
AS this is written the duke and
duchess are enjoying (some OF the
time, anyway their first big game
shoot. Early therein the duke had
the thrill of being charged by a
wounded and Infatuated rhinoceros.
This adventure befell him at a spot
about $50 miles from Nairobi,
the capital Of Kenya- The duke had

he fred the beast turned and made a
terrific charge.

He and a companion then fired to-

over close to where the duke was
standing.

Nairobi the day after Christmas, and
their first camp was pitched toward
evening, when about 100 miles had
been covered. The duke stalked

such force that it was disabled. In
another they covered a difficult $50

tropical cloudburst-four and one

party crossed a stream which had be-
come dangerously swollen and arrived
at their camping ground drenched,
only to find the entire place WATERLOO

told, treated the whole affair as a

1t won't be surprising If they have
to rough it quite a bit more before
they quit Africa, about the end of

Of Wales isn't married!

Bureau of Aeronautics told the
council last night that although air
craft viii not replace ships, use of
air fighting machines would add TO
the defense OF the Nation. He said
the aircraft situation had been ex-
aggerated, thereby injuring the serv-
ice which is being developed by
both the Army and Navy, and ex-
pressed faith in the rigid airship.
Answering criticisms of the Air

are today 40 planes operating with
the battle feet and that the British
today are ahead of this Nation only
in aircraft carriers. Aviation can
not go to sea and fight without ships,
Admiral Moffett declared.
War cannot be abolished by legis-

Corps, declared. This Nation should
have a Navy equal to that OF any

added, saying that if the time ever

doned all means of national defense,
a great mistake would be made.
