HIS IMPROVEMENT

some time without a material
change.
| London medical experts were of
the opinion that undoubtedly the
administration of oxygen to the king
was for the purpose OF relieving the
strain on his heart and that it need
not be regarded as a sensational
STEP A few years ago the use of
oxygen was considered last ex-
trcmity. But it was explained that
now it is used frequently as pre-
cautionary assistance for the lungs
to make the work of the heart as
easy as possible. 1t was acknowl-
edged. however. that oxygen would
not be used except In very serious
cases.
Wait for Strength
II was understood that the kings
physicians were awaiting an in
crease in his strength. Their anx-
icty was indicated in reports from
the palace 10 be centercd momcn-
tarily around the condition of his
heart. Hope was expressed that if
the king was able to pass COM
Portable day, the Improvement in
his condition might be increased by
the time the evening bulletin was
issued.
Scenes in the neishborhood Of
Buckingham palace during the early
hours of today again gave proof Of
the widespread solicitude and anx-
iety on the part Of the public over
the condition of King George.
During the night a large number
of persons returning from theaters
and night clubs stopped their auto
mobiles at the palace gate to learn
the latest news. Many persons on
their way to work arriving at
railway terminal nearby from the
suburbs made considerable detour
from their usual routes to read the
latest bulletins and inquire for any
additional details before going to
the city.
Are Encouraged
1nquirers were encouraged by an
unofficial report that there had been
no change for the worse in the
kings case. as many had feared
from the doctors statement last
night that anxiety concerning his
heart persisted,
| II was learned that Sir Stanley
Hewctt had remained at the palace
all night SO that he might be in
readiness if the king needed atten-
ton. While unusual, this was not
unprecedented since Sir Stanley on
previous occa sions during the kings
i illness remained in the palace over
night.
FogSy Weather
The morning Was foggy but de-
spite this a considerable crowd as
sembled TO read the forenoon bull
letin
The palace guard was changed as
usual while the crowd waited. Yes
terday the change was made with
out music but today the band play
ed during the ceremony.
May Affect King

over London with some prospect OF
continuing. may have some slight
effect on the kings condition. Buck

generally clear and bracing.

1t was remarked by observers that
the queen looked more cheerful tina n
in the last few days, this being gen.

rom Buckingham palace there was
quite family gathering for lunch

Princess Mary. walked to the palace
and lunched with the queen. Prin-
