A Royal Quarrel
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE


IT is said that Queen Marie and Prince Carol had fall
ing out recently
They at the house of the Queens friend in
Paris and the Queen met the Prince by appointment there
Ihe Queen said that Nine Lupescu go Just as Zzi
Lambrno had disappeared The Bucharest would not
stand for a king not living with his legal wife
She told Carol that his private feelings must be oyerruled
by his knightly dignity He retorted
DO think it is queeny to have your hair singled in
Los Angeles bob?''
SO they had falling out the cut of the Queens
This would not be Of much Importance, but it is over
such small things that revolutions and the like occur
To think of killing each other by wholesale because
two people fall out the way should cut her
hair is rather startling
1t shows how much the lives Of the common people are
worth compared with royal foibes
Unfortunately, do major differences
or about things worth while but it often little spark
that lights them
The fact that millions of lose their lives and millions
of dollars worth of property destroyed because an
insignificant duke killed in Serajevo appalling
1t the people the who decided when should
go to there would be wars but the trouble in
that wars out of the quarre of their bettes and thew
are often about insignificant trifes
The question to how Queen Marie shall bob her hair
and whether Prince Carol shall his soul mate or
not may be interesting from family point Of view
but 1T is nothing for whole population go war about
The of lie deep in national preiudces and
popular feeling but the immediate war are often
furnished by trivial differences of rulers

TIME AND LIGHT = : By

correct. It was there stated that
if a new star suddenly burst forth
at a distance of a million light
years and was Immediately extin-
guished, its light would continue
visible from the earth during a
million years, although the star
had existed but for a moment. The
thoughtlesS insertion of the words
from the earth" was the source
and cause Of the error.
Cut out those misleading words
and the statement remains true.
For at every successive point along
the line of nearly six quintillion
miles from the stars place to the
earth the light would be rnomen-
tarily visible during a period of
million years. At no ore point
would 1t be visible for a longer
time than the brief duration of the
