Queen Mary Keeps
Weight Secret; King
Admits $50 Pounds

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM. England --- The
British nation has learned that King
George v weighs $50 pounds. He
was visiting the British Industries
Fair here and was invited to test
his weight on patent weighing
machine.
When the record was presented
to him, he exclaimed:
rs that my weight? Well, that's
not at all bad" and the tone OF his
remark indicated that he was as ig
norant on the subject of his own
weight as most of his subjects.
The Queen, who had watched her
husbands test, was then asked
whether she would like to be
weighed, but she started back
quickly as If fearful of the ordeal
and shook her head with laugh.
saying. % dear, no, thank you!"
Loyal subjects are therefore left
guessing at what figure this buxom
lady turns the scale.

Sense of Smell Held Real Reason
Of Most Persons Love for Candy

Most of our so-called tastes should
rather be designated as odors because
they are dependent, not on the sense OF
taste, but on the sense Of smell. When
the olfactory sense is destroyed very
little difference is to be perceived be-
tween an onion and an apple. The
epicure with fine palate has really
educated his sense of smell and would
be but little satisfied with the simple
sensations derived from his organs of
taste
1t is generally believed that candies
appeal to young and old alike because
of their sweetness. In reality, odor has
more to do with the craving for sweet
foods than sweetness To the palate
There can be little doubt that were
1t not for our sense of smell the de-
lightful f1avors in candy would have
no appeal"

GLORIF|ES IRELAND
 FOR FAITH IN GOD
Rev. ". A. Robbins Speaks at
 St. Patrick's Day Observance

speaking before 2.o00 persons at
 !. NJ. T. A. X B. society hall Satur- day night at the annual observance of St. Patrick's Day by St. Joseph's parish. Rev. William A. Robbins. o. 1 M. l.. of Lowell. Mass, stated that
 freland's faith Is her glory He ea-
 pressed the keynote of his address in the following words:
 l "The destiny of Ireland is not a i crown. not glory i'll letters as in Greece. nor of conquests and law making as in Rome. nor Of liberty and freedom, as in America, but l Erin's destiny is 8 cross, a heavy cross of suffering. of persecution, the same symbol that was given to the Son of God when he came to this earth"
 Father Robbins address was the feature of the celebration. 1 In part, he said:
 Imagine an artist, a Mtchelangelo painting God giving 10 each nation as it kneels at His feet. its particular and special destiny in this world. To all of the others he grants a glor- lous destiny and career, but to Ire land A. destiny synlbotzed by the cross She receives. and by receiv- ing during the ages sees her land running with blood. her every coun- iy devastated. and then devastated again.
 But when gross materialism or r,o n lien att cd oil aeA ~f Europe centuries ago, Ireland with her cross was the only country to re- main free of the taint. Ireland. where those who escaped the crushing heel of the barbarian might find refuge for their bodies and help for their souls, In 432 and the years follow ing the land was converted to the Christian faith. converted by St Pat rick without the shedding of a drop of blood, an event unparalleled in the history of religious changes throughout the world.
 But the storm broke, and al though Erin never gave an inch of her land without q fight. she had 10 give through centuries of persecu- ton. and then more centuries of ruin, bloodshed and devastation" Father Robbins carried his audi ence down through the centuries of Irelands history. enumerating the perhdy of Good Queen Bcss.' the slaughters of Cromwell the violation of treaties given after the Irish had fought for English freedom. the years of the hunted schoolmast"r' and of the days when the life of priest. like that of q hunted wolf, was worth five pounds 10 the hunter"
 Instead of crlmblins under the lash, Ireland, struggled on until America began to champion her cause for freedom. he said. Europe echoed the cry and England gave in a little only later, he added. to at- tempt to force a parliamentary union on the people. thereby making all Irishmen English under an act Of parliament This was one of the greatest acts of folly the world has ever known" he said.
 He spoke in optimistic terms of the future of the country predicting that the greatest freedom is yet to come.
 The most bitter Of all quarrels is that within the family, that between those who were once co-workers."

STRIKE AT FORD
WAGE: IS CENTS
Show Why Ford Aided
Hoover's Election

RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 20
News received from the workers who
were promised Ford wages" and
lured to work on Henry Ford's con-
cessions recently obtained from the
Brazilian government, show that
Ford is beating all his previous rec
ords in exploiting workers.
!. The good will' trip of Hoover
whom Ford supported in the recent
elections, cannot conceal the fact
that Ford's enslavement of Brazilian
workers has caused these workers to
strike and disillusioned wider masses
of Latin American workers.
From Belem, Brazil, reports say
that 400 workers have already struck
and others are preparing to escape
from the Ford concession on the
river Trapajos, in resentment
against a daily wage of three Bra
lillian milreis, which is about Sc
cents U. S. money.
This is even below the poorest
Brazilian wage and far below the
wages of organized city workers.
Brazilian capitalists themselves say
hat it is impossible to expect work
ers to accepc au.n sCarEat.on scale.
