KA|SER'S SON WANTS
WIFE CALLED PRINCESS

BERLIN, Oct. 1'-"Name or title
don't matter; the only thing that mat
tiers is personal worth"
Joachim Albrecht, Prince Of Prus-
sis, son of the former Kaiser, wrote
this letter TO a Berlin newspaper.
Just the same. he defended the right
of his wife to be called Princess OF
Prussia, about which there seems to
be some doubt, as the Almanach de
Gotha denies il 10 her.
He claims this designation, however,
not as a title but as part OF her prop
ssr name, in conformity witha Prussian
faw passed after the revolution provld-
ing that all members of the former
ruling house, including the former kali
ser and the former crown prince, were
10 be called princes or princesses OF
Prussia and that this was 10 be part
of their names, and not title.
The prinee's wife was Caroline
Stockhammer and first married Won
<ostiz-Bakowsky from whom she was
divorced, beforeshe married the prince.
As che was not of royal blood. she was
NOT. under the house laws OF the Hon
enzolierns, the equal of the kaiser's
son.. The prince now contents, how
ever. that the revolution-born law has
annulIed the equality laws Of his house
and that his wife therefore has inc
same right to call herself by her hus-
bands name as any other woman.

The Board of Commissioners of

Gazette readers probably will want
to clip and save the new 1925 con-
dition map of Minnesota trunk high
ways which will be found on another
page of this issue. 1t is the official
map which has, proven most popular
for use while travelling, Lut may be
posted in your garage.
The condition map gives the official
numbers on the trunk routes, CORES
ponding to those on the yellow star
markers at the roadsidas. Further,
it indicates each section of the 1000
mile system as paved, graveled or
only maintained. 1t is a 1925 publi-
cation giving all postoffices, railroads
counties, township lines and the
names of rivers and lakes.
Charles NJ. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, arranged with this and
other newspapers to publish the map

to reduce the map expense in the high

publication of highway map every
