 MADRID, Spain. oct 26 Royal princesses are usually pictured as leading pampered lives. into which neither work, worry nor woes ever entered But in most instances the exact reverse is true, especially since the war cost many princesses or their families their fortunes.
 The beautiful Infanta Beatrice of Spain, cousin of King Alfonso and sister of Queen Marie of RI mania. has to work 12 hours a day on her farm near Madrid to support herself, her husband and three sons.
 She can be seen any day dig ging potatoes, feeding poultry or caring for the cattle and pigs. She also has large rabbit farm, and she looks after her father-in-law' $ vineyards and other properties, since her husband, the Tnfante Alfonso of Spain. gives all his time to the Spanish military avia- tion schools, of which he is head.
 'It is no sinecure to be farm CT" said the charming princess as she scattered corn to several hundred chickens she had raised on her farm near Madrid. We have lost our fortunes, and must work like a Trojan every day be- cause our daily bread depends upon it. Agriculture has always been my greatest hobby, but now it has become a grim reality to me. The management of the farm and of my father-in-law's s vineyards and lands causes me many sleepless nights"
 Like her sister Marie, the In fanta Beatrice not only possesses rare beauty, charm and grace of manner. but has many gifts in other directions. She is an ex-

The Trouble.Shooter Says:

1 don't mind having radio owners
try to solve their problems before they
call me. Sometimes when 1 know
they have considered certain points it
helps me to avoid duplicating their
efforts But it would save matters
all around if they would remember
to put the set back into the same con-
tlition they found it before calling me.
I'll give you concrete instance.
The other evening | was called to n
house to find out why the set did
not bring in anything at all. 1t was
not long before | discovered that in
doing over the radiator in the living
room, one of the WOrkmen had failed
to reattach the ground connection.
Believing I had paved the way for
fine evening Of radio, / switched on
the set. and much surprised when
nothing came through.
1t took me an hour to discover that
the owner had made change in the
wiring at the "B" eliminator while
he first was hunting for the trouble.
1t is fine for owners to experiment.
That is the way TO learn. But when
an outsider is called in, the set
should h the way the owner first
found it when the trouble began.
Otherwise the trouble shooter is doubly
handicapped.
Almost invariably when things go
wrong with set the owner will start
shifting tubes from one socket to an
other. I may find that the trouble
is the result of a run down a. bat
terry. or of wrong &C. blasting. or any
one of number of things. But, after
discovering the real trouble. | have
to spend a lot Of time matching up
the tubes again.
If changing the tubes makes no
difference in so far as solving the
problems goes. the owner ought to
put them back where he found them
before calling for outside help.
