fidence in the power of the lowly
"two-Jbit' piece
Legionnaires of Minnesota by with
holding just one 25-cent piece each
year have established one Of the most
valuable rehabilitation services avail
able to disabled veterans of the
World war. 1t is the American Le
gior Hospital association of Minneso-
TIA, with service headquarters here.
The association is financed at a cost
of approximately $4,000 a year by
quarters flipped into the, rehabilita-
.tion fund basket by Minnesota Legion
naires.
At least Is disaDIed World war vet
erans of Minnesota have felt the pow
er of these two-bit pieces during the
past yeal alone. Previous to 1925
their broken bodies were mended al
the famous Mayo Brothers clinic here.
Mayo Brothers, amoEg the worlds
greatest surgeons, are both Legion-
naires. They cooperate with the Le-
gion's hospital association by making

ed rates. or in many cases, free Of

Search has begun here for trace of
old King. Harold, nicknamed Harold
Harefoot," who died in 1O4O.
In Tooley street, near London bridge,
under the shadow of a great aril-
way station and with the modern traf-
fic of road and river sweeping past
workmen have started digging deep
into English history. For it is the
old graveyard of st. Olave's church,
nearby, that is being turned up by
pick and shovel to remove the cas-
kets which have, rested there hun
dreds of years. Authorities say it is
quite likely that what remains of one
of Englands early kings may be bur-
led there. The original OF st. Olave's
was built more than 900 years ago.
The Harold, whom, tradition links
with the older cemetery, was the
younger son of the Canute, the DAN
ish king of England, who is chiefly
remembered by the legend that when
he sat at the edge of the season and
commanded the incoming tide to stop,
the tide ignored the royal order and
proceeded to wet the royal feet.

LONDON, May 1.-Princess Mary
has not bobbed or shingled her hair
and is very eager that the English
public be notified of this fact.
reports that the princess had had
her locks clipped arose from the lat
est published portraits These showed
a full face view of the kings daugh-
ter, and from the appearance of her
hair it was quite generally taken for
granted throughout the country that
Princess Mary had at last succumbed
to the fashion of the bob.
But she has not, and the princess
has requested her intomate friends to
let it be known in society and every
where that such is not the case.
The bob appearance in the photo
graphs was due to the way the hair
had been arranged and this conveyed
q false impression.
There were sighs of regret and OF
relief, too, among the English women
when it was made known positively
t.lat Princess Mary still retained ali

PARIS, May 1.-The deportation,
after conviction for repeated swindles
of a former captain in the French
army who won the cross of the le-
gion of honor and military medal for
valor on the field Of battle, has
brought to light s~ory of faithful
devotion on the part of a woman who
shared the former officers fortunes
in his prosperous days.
A few hours before the hour fixed
for. the embarkment of the $40 con-
victs recently put aboard La Martin

gates of Ste. Martins penitentiary.
She applied to Governor Leroux for
permission to marry her soldier
sweetheart before his departure for
Cayenne. This was refused, accord
ing to law but she was informed that
she might join her lover in exile.
She took up her post beside row
of soldiers beside the lighter aboard
which the convicts were embarked.
When the former captain came into
sight, her fact went hard and set, as
she shrieked above the roar of the
breakers against the stone spier, "I
will join you before six weeks!"
The man, who had endured four
years of trenches and open warfare
with fortitude, staggered at the
sound Of the voice and halted, waver-
ing as if about to fall. Then, with
"a look of love and gratitude, he

change for rupees at lower rate
than English notes. Sovereigns can
be bought in the bazaars for thirteen
rupees and five annas at the present
time whereas at the END, of the war
it took twenty rupees to buy SOW

The reason for the glut is the greed
for boarding gold in India which alb

 Star, Has an Operation

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 26 LP - Leo Daley, regular guard of the Harvard football team, this morn ing submitted to the second opera tion of his football career. It was for appendicitis and at Harvard it was said he came through it al right" A more detailed statement from T. K. Richards, Harvard foot ball physician, was expected later.
 This was the third season in which injury or illness has forced Daley out in mid-scason. While captain of freshman team, he suf- fered an early season injury and the next year after winning the guard position he hurt his knee in the first play of the Princeton game. An operation last spring corrected that injury. After the first game this year he was placed under ob- servation for appendicitis and the physician decided it would be dan gerous to postpone an operation.
