LONDON, March 30.-British roy
alties are adopting modern, direct
methods of keeping informed of the
work and welfare of their people
as a part of the business of gov
eminent.
King George is a frequent and OBJ
servant visitor at commercial and
Queen Mary spends perhaps a third
of her busy public life at women's
welfare ~centers, baby hospitals and
similar places.
The Prince of Wales is seriously
studying for his future job of king,
and since his return from his South
American trip his hundreds of pub
lie engagements-often three and
four a day-have taken him to every
corner of Great Britain.
Duke Busy
The Duke of York is making a
series of tours to all important in
dustrial centers, studying factory,
mine and workshop methods and con-
ditions.
1t has just been revealed that
Princess Mary, the kings only
daughter, is studying department
store life; and that, in her studies,
she spends all her spare time, un-
recognized by the people she talks
to, shopping at small and large
stores and chatting with the sales
girls.
1t became known for the first time
a few days ago that Princess Arthur
of Connaught, daughter-in-law of the
Duke Of Connaught, the kings I'M
Gle, has been for some months a
working nurse at a huge London
hospital.
She goes there practically every
weekday morning, and has tended
to hundreds of charity patients in
the day patient department. She is
& registered trained nurse, having
passed all examinations after three
years training during the war.
With Navy
There is no idle member of the
kings family. Prince Henry, the
third son, is an officer in the Army,
doing his full share of duty, and
Prince George, the youngest. is at
present serving with the China
squadron of the navy.
The king, the Prince of Wales and
the Duke of York all r spending
much of their time now trying to
sell British people the idea of buying
British goods where possible, in or
der to diminish the still huge num-
Der Of unemployed-nearly 100000
and to raise the necessary taxes to
pay off the British war debt to the
United States.
