 The last of the three sons that were in distant parts of the far flung British Empire when the king was taken gravely i'll more than . month ago. returned to tho palace today. The arrival of the Duke of Gloucester a fortnight after the Prince of Wales and few days after his younger brother Prince George, completed the family party.
 The Duke. who reached South ampton from South Africa early to. day. stepped through the portals of Buckingham Palace in the middle of tho forenoon shortly before his fathers physicians issued this bulle- tin:
 Quiet Night

MOWERS THINKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS
Arc HomeXlrd Bound From
 South American Journey
PLAN SHIP CELEBRATION
Presfdent.Eiect Leaves Brazilian Capital With Cheers of Natioa Ringing h Ears-Receives Many Yulettde Presents.

U. g. s. Utah, Dec. 24 R-Home- ward bound. having concluded his tour of good will in I.atin-America, Herbert Hoever turned his thoughts today to Christmas which will be celebrated aboard ship tomorrow in true American style.
 Before sailing from Rio Janeiro the Utah took aboard . ChristmaI tree and decorations. Ships carpen. ters were busy today setting up the tree and also tables on the quarter deck for a general dinner to the Hoovers and the ships onticers. Many presents were brought aboard the ship to enIivea tfA spirit of the occasion.
 Not Unusual
 To most of the Hoover party. Christmas day aboard . ship was a novel experience, but to MT. and MrA Heovsr it war nothing unusual since their first Christmas after their marriage was on shipboard while they were ea route to China and they had been at sea several times since then.
 Upon boarding the ship. Mir. Hoo- yer found | number of presents awaiting him as we'll as others of his party. and he opened all of them. Among them he found . doctors de- gree from Brazil university as we'll as . certificate az honorary chair man of the Brazilian Red Cross, en- closed in q handsome portfolio. MT. Hoover is a trustee of the American Red Cross and on taking over the presidency will become president of the American organization.
 Other gifts from Brazil included set of books on engineering and other subjects, dozen boxes of ci- gars and a picture of Rio Janeiro. The picture he probably treasured most highly as he was moro inn pressed with the Brazilian capital than any other port visited in the long years of his travels.
 In bidding farewell to Rio Jan eiro. MT. Hoover stood on the deck as the Utah passed out to sea amid . wonderful display of gre works. The display began opposite the anchorage of the Utah and last ed until the mouth of harbor, four miles distant, was reached. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hoover stood by the rail watching the display which em- anated from myriad mountains as the searchlights of the Utah criss- crossed in answer to the most col orful farewell that MT. Hoover re- ceived on his whole Latin-American tour.
 Cheers Rtne
 As Mir Hoover sailed away the whole Brazilian capital was ringing with cheers and praises for him. The general opinion was that he carried with him the genuine friendship. ad- miration and esteem of the Bazilian people. This had been manifested in unparalleled pageantry during his visit and in spontaneous popular out burstA

Beauty and Truth.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Beauty and truth may be found in the cities are to be found in abundance; but the fact does not change that other fact that the old pagan concept still endures. We call it pagan" but what generally is meant when reference is made to things of the old, old times?
 Truth is beauty, and beauty truth" sang one of the sweetest of poets it is 'all we know, and all need to know.'
 But walls and barriers are repressve; they shut in; they shut out also much that we should take into souls
 We easily find God in the wilderness than in the crowded haunts of men. Out there are the sand and the snow the woodland and the rivers, the lakes and the whispering trees; we go-when we can-to the outlands, the free spaces, to find the song of birds and the min strelsy of the free winds
 Men build institutions and structures of faith and superstition: many of these function under the sanctions of theologsts which long have been dead and of others which ought to be dead But God forever abdes in the rose and the cloud in the music and murmur of the water, in the crags and heights and canyons of the mountain places; in the solemn music and mystery of vast forests, and under the seas which girdle the globe; in the hearts and eyes of and women and children-in their laughter and their songs of contentment and joy
 Innumerabe ages are dead, but the Master of the Ages lives-lves in grass and bloom and piping insect voice. Nature calls eternally to her children. No man born of that does not feel this call--it comes from the seas and the skies and the fields and the woods and the waters. It is the voice of God calling to the innocence which is within us to come and joy with the innocence which is without, around and everywhere.
 There is a. glory which is unspeakable in the sheen of stars and sun and the luster of the moon. It is a glory that is not to be found in coisters or within the of ponderous tonnes; it geams from the majesty of microscopic demon stration and on the wild birds wing; the beauty and truth of birth and being are everywhere with the drift of butterfly and the bloom of bee and in the heart of motherhood
 "To him who in the love of nature holds communion with her visible forms she speaks various language" But it is ever the language of love-

 Coordination of activities in Alaska of the several bureaus of the Department of Agriculture will facilitate administration of an important branch of Federal affairs and bring government closer to the people it is designed to benefit
 In appointing Charles H. Flory Commissioner of Agriculture in the Northern Territory Secre- tary w. M. Jardine acts under authorization of a recent Congressional enactment permitting the Secretaries of Agriculture, Interior and Commerce to designate resident representatives.
 Within the Interior [Agriculturel Secretary's Jurisdiction in Alaska are the Forestry Service which controls than 100000 acres of timbered land; the Biological Survey, which func- tons In relation to game and in connection with the fur and reindeer industries; the experiment stations, which investigate and test possibilities TOT held garden and orchard crops; the Weather Bureau, which gathers and makes known facts about the climatological phenomena, and the pub lie highways which penetrate National Forests
 Heretofore these bureaus have been virtually Independent. Sometimes they have conficted with one another. Their policies have been determined and their administration directed by chiefs at Washington, D. C., and these officials too often have not been familiar with Alaskan conditions
 Now the Commissioner stationed in the Ter ritory will supervise all departmental business He will exercise the power of the Secretary and be subject only to him. The Commissioner should pc aple to avoid delays and the mistakes incl dent to long-r government

BRoADcAsTING CONVENTIONS.

Two broadcasting organizations seeking the right to put on the air the proceedings of the Kansas City and Houston conventions The National Broadeasting Company and the Columbia System have both submitted bids to the national committees of the Republican and Democratic parties. Bulletins will be put out at intervals timed to offer as little interference as pos sble with the regular station programs Until the committees act, however, definite plans for the service will not be made
 When Senator Dill started a movement some time ago to broadcast the proceedings in the Senate Chamber it suggested by some com mentators that members of that dignifed body might not be so prolix, and might curtail some of their extrayagances of statement if they were facing a microphone when they spoke This same suggestion is apropros to the national conven- tions. Il is just possible the broadcasters may render a valiant service other than that em- bracod in their formal functioning

More or Less True


 One of the absurdities of tht ] day is that of still speaking of q girl being in clothes.
 It has to be real love to make q woman satisfied with her bus band just because he is finer and better than other men when he is so much poorer than the bus. bands of her friends. When folks are willing to give up balloon tires and go back to 1 the old iron ones, like those used on the buggies in former days they'll probably be willing to give up the luxuries and. stick to theil ! budgets.
 The way some men look t is evident they don't want to miss anything and the way some girls look it is evident they don't want 'em to miss anything, either.
 The only things that can be more overworked than a flapper mother are her favorite adjec tives
 The cartoonists to the contrary notwithstanding we don't believe there is one girl in a million who puts a rolling pin in her hope chest with the idea of using 1t to educate her husband.
 It Is getting so that if women didn't spend little time in bed legs wouldn't ever have any pri- vacy.
 Having alarming cotton in the house now is about as foolish as having a bootjack.
 The reason father has no pa fience with mothers complaints about the drudgery of housework Is because he thinks making beds md things like that are child's play compared to making living.
