Queen REIGNS
At PLUTE BALL
IN HER HONOR
Loaded With jewels,
Sits on Throne
(speeiaI 70 The Daily Worker


NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-New York's
pIutoeraey got it's chance to kiss the
feet of a queen Wednesday night at
select fete held in the Ritz-carlton
hotel. The huge ballroom of the
ultra-elite hosiery was remodelled
after an autumn forest and on a raised
dais was an improvised throne upon
which sat Queen Marie, loaded down
with priceless jewels and giving her
hand to be kissed by the adulatine
throng of some eight hundred of
New York's idle rich.
The queen glittered with the most
costly of jems. Her dress gave the
impression of being made of solid
silver and was weighted down with
clusters Of sapphires and pearls, while
the famous czarist tiara of diamonds
flashed from her head. AS the queen
,lided across the hall to her throne,
The society folks fairly gasped with
sagerness and packed into line like
A subway crowd to be received by
her majesty"
Pershine Bows.
An orchestra played the Roumanian
national anthem to the strains of
which many peasants have been mas
sacred in Bessarabia and the pluto
Gratis lined up to pay their adulations
to the Hohenzollern queen. General
John J. Pershing. who led the army
which was said to have fought for
democracy" was one of those who
seemed to be glad of the chance to
bow before the queens throne.
The queen and her royal party
went on Thursday to Philadelphia to
visit the sesqui-centennial which was
very badly in need of an attraction to
swell what have so far been poor
crowds.

BECAUSE The DAILY WORKER
- called Queen Marie of Roumania
CORY bitch" our secretary Of state,
MIR. Kellogg, called on the postoflce
department to take appropriate ac-
ton. Now this is interesting. 1t is
generally known on the continent of
Europe that Marie has kept the home
fires burning for several years by play
ing at the oldest profession, in a
highly proper and queenly manner. OF
course this is nothing out of the ordi-
nary for queens. So much so that the
word worked itself into the vernacular
in the United States.
DUT anyhow it is rather like Kellogg
- to swallow the queen of Roumania
and her reputation yet refuse visa
to the perfectly decent Countess
Karoyli on the ground that she was a
moral turp Her turpitude consisted
in her opposition to the dictator,
Horthy, who was the pet of one of
The Vanderbilt girls, who married a
Hungarian count without ever count
ing the cost in dollars. So it is not
surprising that this hedge diplomat,
Kellogg, should feel offended because
we tell the truth about the parasite
queen.

Thirtyflve years ago Everybody

Yeamans Titus and almost all of them

of the prettiest little women of the
stage, but she was noted for her
sunny disposition and for her amaz-

A very full life mas been that of

Practical Engine.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. May 15.--George Steven
son was not the inventor of the loco
motive, contends David Brownie, who
recently read a paper before the Insti-
tute of Marine Engineers, in which
he credited Richard Trevithick. Cor
nish engineer, with inventing the mode
Of conveyance which has been a major
factor in changing the world.
In 1897. Brownie said. Trevithick
produced his epoch-making invention
Of the internally fired cylindrical Cor
nish" boiler, and made in the same
year his first model steam locomotive,
which is now in the South Kensing-
ton Museum. In 1901, Trevithick con-
structed at Chamborne. Cornwell, a
large locomotive which ran on the
roads, and was the first authenticated
practical mechanically driven vehicle
in the history of the world, Brownie
stated. He said statements that Stew
enson was the originator Of the loco
motive are simply bosh.

Colby Students
Respond Well to
GYM Contributions

Waterville, Me-. April Ia - The
many pledges made by the Colby
student body last evening at their
enthusiastic rally held in the college
gym in favor of q new gymnasium
have been supplemented during the
day by many more from members of
the mems division. Several pledges
made last evening were increased,
while many new ones were made.
The goal set by the Student Council
will undoubtedly be oversubscribed
before Saturday.
Coach Edward c., Roundy sounded
the keynote of the campaign at the
mass meeting last evening with the
slogan "Follow Through" and the
serious adoption of this motto by the
student body was evidenced today
by the additional pledges. 1t IS
evident that the student body is in
the campaign with evert bit of ef-
fort they possess and their enthusi-
asm last evening was not momentary
but the expression of sincere de-
sire for new gymnasium
Today the leading topic for cam
pus discussion was the new gym
nasium and the plans for securing
the funds with which it'can be OBJ
tanned. The members Of the student
body have signified their intention
of increasing their pledges as soon
as possible and every effort will be
directed toward a new gymnasium
until it Is secured.

games, games in the Maine State
League and the Sunday games at
Togus for the past few years. A
keen judge of balls and strikes and
on the bases, and level headed
enough to discourage the usual long

enjoying wonderful reputation as
an arbiter for the past few years

of the national pastime in this state

mended McDonough to the New Eng

Jack moving up and down through
