when he sees her, and she always
raises her little hand to return the
greeting. When her mother brings
her into the living room to be shown
to visitors, no one present every for
gets that Princess Elizabeth is the
third lady of the land; ladies who
come over to greet her curtesy as
they approach her, and the gentle
men bow with the utmost solemnity.
When she grows little older she
will receive an education befitting
the exalted station she may some day
hold-which means that she will have
to become expert in the use of four
or five languages and will have to
have q long schooling in history, eco
nomics, politics and statecraft. Her
girlhood and young womanhood will
be accompanied by the same restric-
tions and publicity that have attend
ed the Prince of Wales.
But just now she doesn't know
anything about all of that. She may
be the third lady of the land, direct
descendant of William the Conqueror
and Alfred the Great, and possible
future queen of England; but at this
moment she's just a happy, lovable
little girl with golden curls and a
constant smile.
In line of succession, only two per-
sons now stand between the little
princess and the British throne-the
Prince Of Wales and the Duke of
York. When Queen Victoria was a
child two and half years old seven
persons stood between her and the
throne of the empire.

leasing to them such players as they
felt able to spare.
Maranville goes back to the club
which he helped win a pennant and
worlds series in 1914. He played
wonderful baseball at shortstop with
the Cardinals and was considered
the sparkplug of the team last sea-
son. He is sc years old.
Harper, who is also SO years old,
has been playing professional ball
since 1918, and had his first major
league trial with Detroit in 1915.
He came to the Cards early last sea-
son from the New York Giants in
exchange for Bob O'Farrell. He bat

MEXICAN LABOR
TROUBLE SH0RN
BY GALES ACT
Former President Refuses to
Oppose Government of His
Successor
ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
Popular Leader Needed to Weld
Revolutionary Groups Into
Strong Body
ANNOUNCES RETIREMEN,

Mexico City, Dec. 8.-A political
situation which for two days gave
rise to grave worries appeared today
to have been shorn of it's principal
menace through the attitude of for
mer President Gales in refusing to
oppose the government of his sue
cessor, Portes Gil.
Decision of C. r. o. NJ, the Mexi-
can federation Of labor, to split with
the government, coupled with the
manifest friendship Of Gales toward
the labor organization, led to the
fear that the former president,
whose following is large, might sup
port the stand of the labor organiza-
ton. This would involve Gales and
his followers in dispute with the
present administration and create
situation Of serious possibilities.
Although the situation apparently
had eased somewhat, there was evil
dence of bitter feelings. A noisy
throng outside the national chamber
Of deputies was dispersed by city
firemen, who turned hose on them.
One crowd was denied admittance to
the chamber, where the situation was
being discussed, and was shouting
Long live Manrique; Death to Mo-
rones." Luis N, Morones was secre-
tary of labor under President Gales
and is president of C. r. O. NJ. Au-
relio Manrique, an agrarian deputy,
led the attack on Gales and Morones
in the discussion in the chamber.
The climax Of the situation appar-
emily was reached, however, when
former President Gales issued a
formal declaration allaying fears
that he might throw his influence
against the government. He even
went further and lauded Portes Gil
as a representative of legality and
the revolutionary ideals and recon-
mended that the army and the public
support the present president.
As proof Of his sincerity Gales
announced his resignation from the
presidency of the National Rcvolu-
tionary party and said that he was
retiring definitely from, public life.
The retirement Of Gales from the
party in which he was the prime
mover left the bothersome question
Of deciding upon his successor. 1t
will be necessary to find leader
popular enough to weld the various
revolutionary groups into one strong
organization.

caked down. His landing gear
missed the trees and ripped through
the brush. The plane came to a
grinding stop against a stump he
hadn't seen.
"The plane was such a complete
wreck / had to chop out the mail
with an AK, but l wasn't scratched"
Smith explained. "Some hunters
showed me an old road which led
down the mountain and l found my
way out to the field"
Smith never had serious trouble
when caught in one of the danger
Gus line squalls, the boiling winds
at the edge Of storm, but Paul F..
Collins, another Of the airmail
pilots, recently was forced to leap
1000 feet in his parachute when one
of these storms ripped off the wings
of his plane high over the noun
tains.
Snow Storms Dangerous
Snow storms like the recent storm
which cost the lives of two airmail
pilots and the pilot Of a passenger
plane and two passengers riding
with him are one of the worst dam
gers the airmail pilots have to con-
tend with.
Recently with the installation of
almost instantaneous weather re-
porting service pilots know the sort
Of weather they face as they take
off Tor their flights. But several
years ago when the pilots had only
the barest weather protection, things
were different.
Smith had his widest ride over
the Pennsylvania Mountains in the
tragic snow storm Of Jan. %, 1922,
which wrecked the knickerbocker
Theater, Washington, costing the
lives Of ~ persons.
Misses Death by Inches
Smith was caught in this storm
over the mountains and forced
south in an attempt to get into the
old airmail base at Bustleton, near
Philadelphia, Pa, for gas. That
time he overran the field by follow.
ing wrong branch Of the Reading
railroad.
His carburetor was full of water
and the motor hardly turning over
fast enough to keep the plane of
the ground when he suddenly spied
three trees in his path.
"Therc was nothing to do but
dive my plane toward the ground
through the swirling snow and gel
up sufficient speed to zoom over
them," Smith said.
The desperate maneuver worked
His plane, catherine speed in the
dive, nosed up and shot over the
trees. The airmail base was the
other side. He landed safely, bu1
his motor was so far gone Il
wouldn't lift the plane off thu
ground again.
