GERMAN PATENTS
RECENTLY TAKEN
VALUABLE
Experts Believe 1t VIII Re-
suit in More Efficient
Radio Sets,
By Times Special

Bu Times Special
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE
Schloemilch and Won Bronx reflex
patent which was purchased by the
Navy Department from the Alien
Property Custodian is the basic re-
fiex patent and a license under 1t
will enable manufacturers. to pro-
duce efficient sets. This Is the
opinion of experts of the Navy De
partment. =
Since the announcement that the
Navy Department would license
American manufacturers under the
radio patents seized from the Ger
mans during the war, stat ements
have been current that t,Ie Schloe-
mich and Won Bronx patent is prac-
tically valueless beca use Of its
limited scope. While tne value Of
the patent he's never been thorough
ly gone into the Navy, the BELIEF Is
that good set can be produced
with 1t.
Many Applications
In the neIghborhood Of $50 applica-
lions have been received by the
Navy from manufacturers in differ
emit part of the country for use Of
the reflex. patent. A license under
the patent will be granted to every,
manufacturer who meets the con-
ditions set up by the Navy.
I'VE do not attempt to place a val
uation on the Won Bronx and
Schloemilch patent says Captain
McNeely, chief of the radio division
of<the naval bureau of engineering.
''Under the decision of the Attorney
General and the Secretary Of the
Navy we are prepared to grant IL
censes to manufacturers under the
radio patents purchased from the
alien property custodian. We would
not attempt to say that one patent
Is any more valuable than another.
But we do know, that Of the seventy
odd radio patents available, the man.
ufacturers have singled out the re-
dex as the most desirable.
Value Shown
This convinces noe that the reflex
patent is of particular value, The
manufacturers who have applied for
licenses under this patent know
what they are doing, ard they
would not want a dead cat"
Whether or not the Won Bronx
and Schloemilch patent is the basic
reflex patent probably may have to
be decided in the courts. The ques-
ton has been gone into by naval
radio engineers and they are Of the
opinion that it is.

Denmark had given her a rousing

Denmark had given her a rousing farewell on her departure. King Frederick XII had showered her with gifts, and she had been royalty entertained by a public which looked upon a royal alliance with England as a guarantee that German aggres- sion against Schlcswig- Holstein would be checked. But Alexandra was equal 10 all the strain to which she was subjected on her formal in- troduction to the English public and bore up bravely under the ordeal of that well-meant but mismanaged prosecution through London. And she was always equal 10 every emergency afterwards.
 Despite her own troubles and be- reavements she always found time to ser'e the English public. No worthy charity was ever ignored by 1 her. For the 30 odd years that she was the Princess of Wales she really carried most of the public obliga- tions that would naturally have been Queen Victoria's, Victoria gladly turned over most Of her social obli- gations to the Prince Of Wales and ' his wife.
 Princess Alexandra was a practi- cal woman. Her mother, Princess Christian, taught her 10 make her own gowns, to cook and manage her household economically. The family was poor and 1t was necessary that the Danish princesses should learn economy. Princess Alexandra and her sisters were all accomplish cd musicians and lived a simple home life in Copenhagen,

Idol of English People

London, Nov. 90 Rl-Queen Alex andra had been the idol of the Eng fish people for 62 years The en- gagement of the Prince of Wales, afterwards King Edward VII, to the daughter of Prince Christian. heir to the Danish throne, had been well comed with great joy in England. The English public was tired of Ger man alliances, and Lady Palmerston, wife of Viscount Palmerston, who served for several years as prime minister, probably expressed public opinion very effectually when she remarked:
 "I like the Danish connection. We have had too much of Germany, Berlin and the Coburgs,"
 Was Barely 19 Then
 So, when Alexandra arrived at Gravesend on the royal yacht in 1868, great crowds gathered to vel come her. and the first sight of her girlish figure in crinolines won their hearts. She was barely 1s and gen erally conceded to be the most beau- tiful princess in all Europe. Her smile was entrancing then, as 1t al- ways was, even in her last public appearance in London as woman of nearly so.
 In fact, her smile Is credited with having saved many lives in London the day of her arrival. All England seemed to throng to the capital to greet the prospective queen. But the arrangements made for the pro cession through London were not equal to the enthusiasm of the crowds; there were not sufficient soldiers along the line of march and the crowds were so ecstatic over the beauty of the new fairy princess from the north that they over whelmed the procession.
 It was delayed for nearly an hour on London bridge by the congestion many persons were crushed to death and even Princess Alexandra herself helped to save unfortunate people who were crushed against the royal E hrriage in which she was riding with the Prince of Wales.

Prince Was Too Late.
Food Sent To Hospitals.

Ten thousand dollars worth Of food prepared for the Guildhall luncheon, which the Prince of Wales cancelled because of the criti- cal illness of Dowager Queen Alex sndra, was forwarded this afternoon to the hospitals and other institu- tions In London. In taking this step, the city authorities believed they were carrying out what would be the wishes of Alexandra herself as she has always been active in char ity work.
 Postponement of the luncheon for the Prince came late in the morning after large number of the guests had arrived. The tables had been set and decorated. and 204 walters and S6 winemen were on hand.
 Four hundred pounds of soles, f1eted, floured. egged and crumbed, were ready for the skillets when the order came postponing the lunch con, and a great quantity of turkey soup, piping hot was ready to be served.

She was then l8, a girl of rare charm and beauty and. by req .on of the frugality of her own fam fly, of simple and unextravagant tastes. Upon the death of Queen Victoria, in 1901, when her husband dscended the throne, Alexandra be- came Queen and reigned with him for nine years.
 Alexandra adopted the title of the Queen Mother in 1910 when George N.. her son, and the Princess Mary were crowned upon the passing of Edward VII. For years, as Princess Of Wales, her name had been asso- ciated with most of the great public benerolences and charities of Eng land. On June 2j, Alexandra Day." each year thousands Of pounds were contributed by Britons the world over for hospitals and other similar institutions in honor of their royal patroness.
 Gave Freely to Charity.
 Although nearly s1 years old at the time of her death, the Queen Mother never lost interest in her many philanthrophies. During the world war she served as head of the British Red Cross, the Queen Alex andra Imperial Military Nursing ! Service, the Royal Indian Nursing | Service, the Territorial Force Nurs- ing Service and the Royal Naval i Nursing Service. The Alexandra Field | Force Fund, of which she was the head, kept British soldiers supplied with comforts and delicacies throughout the four years struggle. l From 1914 to 1918 she had visited every hospital in London including the famous home for blinded soldiers at St. Dunstan's. She also was inter- ested in infant welfare work. When a new nurses home was named in her honor In London she requested | that 1t be not called the "Alexandra" i home but the Edith Cavell" home in memory of the martyred British nurse.
