constantly about prosperity, which in
actuality has not visited the masses,
reports from many parts Of the com

tion from the commercial body here.
Mr.. Billiard. Who Is preparing the

on Mr.. F1agg Of the Seattle Water de-

 The King has never flown, either, but both are fond of attending air meets as spectators.
 The Queen is not good sailor, and ayers that she would feel far worse if she went up in an aero plane or airship.
 The Queen was opposed to the Duke of York joining the Royal Air Force. but this objection was overcome by the fact that 1t was not necessary for the Duke. in his position. to do much actual flying.
