World War Veteran Stays in

mony to his divorced wife, has start
ed the third year of his contine-
ment.
Reid attracted Nationwide atten-
ton in 1925, when he declared he
would go to Jail before he would
obey the injunction Of Superior
Judge C. F. Purkitt Of Glenn
County, to pay alimony toward the
support of his former wife who, he
insists, has now remarked her first

Reid let his hair and beard grow
long as a mark of resentment at
the courts action. After sixteen
months of Imprisonment he was ta-
ken from the Jail for a sanity test.
A commission Of alienists pro-
nounced him perfectly sane. At
that time he permitted his hair to
be cut and his heard shaved.
After the examination, Judge Pur-
kilt again ordered him to Jail, and
Reid began to let his hair and beard
grow again.

personal Spite" said Reid. II am
perfectly willing to pay for the sup
port of our 3-year-old child, if she

LONDON, March 18.-Great as
he has become in the affairs of the
British empire and in the hearts of
his people, the Prince of Wales has
yet to live through the two chief
events of his career. One is his
marriage and the other his success
sion to the throne.
When King George " passes
Britain will mourn the loss of be-
loved ruled, the man who so nobly
worked and suffered with. his people
during the dark days of war. But
when his eldest son takes his place
there will be king more popular
and more deeply loved than any that
has ever sat on the throne of Eng
land.
Only misfortune can prevent the
working of the immutable law.
Young Edward enjoys excellent
health and takes care of himself. An
accident to him that would prevent
his succession would be a great ma
tional tragedy. The present system
|
change, and no political party now
in England would dare to stand in
his way. So it is only logical to
assume that he will be Edward the
Eighth.
Progress Forecast
! What kind of king will he be?
This is the only question open to
serious speculation. He has will of
his own and tremendous follow
! ing. The general impression is that
with him the monarchy will be safe,
perhaps glorifed.
The other big event in his life, his
marriage, still appears as uncertain
as the first from the point of view
of the times of it's occurrence. Cos
sip has been trying to get the prince
engaged ever since ha was a child.
In 1911 there was a report that dip
lomatic machinery was moving to
marry him to the eldest daughter of
the German Kaiser and since then
practically every available princess
! in Europe has been connected by
speculation with him. He may even
marry ,commoner. If he married an
English girl the match would GER
tainly be popular with the people.
The royal marriage act does not now
permit this, but the law could easily
be amended by Parliament to ac-
commodate Edward. The marriage of
| the Duke of York with a commoner,
which did not come under the royal
marriage act because the duke was
not in the direct line of succession,
has proven extremely popular. Sew
eral English girls have been men
toned as possible queens, but moth
| ing has yet come of any of the
rumors.
The Prince himself laughs off one
candidate after the other. He seems
the least concerned about his future
in this respect. He is reported to
have once remarked, England had
virgin queen who was great sue
cess; why not try virgin king?"
In any event, it is rather certain
that Edward will. choose his own
wife when the time comes.
Parents Desire Marriage
| 1t is no secret that the King and
Queen would like to have their eldest
son married. 1t is unusual for the
heir to a throne to remain a bach
elor so long. Although Edward will
be 33 in June, he is still only a boy.
Older men who have been in close
touch with him through their service
say that he has not yet reached the
full flower of maturity. His powers
mental and physical will develop fur

PRINCE OF WALES FACES
TWO IMPORTANT EVENTS

of varied rank and nationality, the
Prince Of Wales is astonishingly free
from calumny. Petty gossip about
him is given little credence. If he
dances all night in Montmartre
cafe, or CANDLES at Deauville or
Biarritz, or blackens his face with
burnt cork and does mock "haka, -
as he did with his friends after see.
ing the Maoris exhibition in New
Zealand, he does it with a good grace
and only proves that he is a human
being with. love of life. His repu-
tation and character remain un-
stained.
Romantic Halo
When Edward becomes king he
will probably suppress much of his
natural enthusiasm which is so at
tractive in the Prince of Wales, but
none of his people wants him ever
to lose his delightful personality. He
is already reconciled to his lack of
freedom, but later his activities will
be even more confined. And many
believe it would be pity If he were
to marry now, because he would lose
that halo of romance which he wears
as prince who is single.
Edward is remarkably we'll quail
fed to be king. He has been through
a most painstaking course Of train
ing according to the ideas of three
British monarchs, beginning with
advice and suggestion from his great
grandmother. Queen Victoria, who
dearly loved him as child and with
the help of Kings Edward and
George. He has been in every cor
ner of the empire and knows all of
his people so well that even now he
is often consulted on empire affairs.
More important still, his people
know him. 1t j; only reasonable to
assume that not during his lifetime
will this personal touch be lost. I'm
der such conditions he is an asset to
the state.
In a sense he Is an enigmatical
figure. For all his democratic spirit
and conduct, he keeps himself aloof,
and none can tell what is in his
mind and heart. He is flattered by
men, besieged by women and jostled
affectionately by the common peo-
pie, but he maintains his regal dig
nifty. :
The widespread interest in Edward
of Wales is not an accident, but due
largely to his own qualities. He can
walk with kings and keep the com
mon touch"
