FAM|LY'S ANXIETY
FOR KING lessons
Marked Improvement in Con-
dition During Past Week
Is Seen.
Rr the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, December. 27.-Although
the slowness of King Georges progress
was still emphasized in his doctors bull
letins it was understood today that his
general Improvement was very marked
compared with week ago. His doctors
were believed to have a confidence in
the recuperative powers of the King
which had not existed previously during
the course Of his illness.
There were indications that the anX-
iety of the royal family was lessening.
The Daily Mail today said that Princess
Mary would leave London during the
day to join her husband. Viscount
Lascelles, at Harewood castle. near
Leeds. The Daily Express said that the
Prince of Wales was hunting III the
Midlands yesterday.
A too enthusiastic greeting by 1000
holiday onlookers when the prince ar
rived at the meet almost caused him to
be thrown from his horse. The crowd
cheered and waved their hats and
handkerchiefs and the horse, becoming
frightened, reared. The prince con-
trolled the horse with difficulty and
smilingly acknowledged the greeting by
raising his hat.
The Kings doctors made no public
report yet on the ray treatment being
given their patient, which has not been
administered for the last day or two,
but it was understood that the discon-
tinuance was only temporary. The doc
tors evening bulletin, which was the
only one of the day, said:
His majesty had quiet day. The
slow progress in general and local con-
dition is maintained Nc bulletin will
be issued until tomorrow evening"

VALUATION METHOD
DEFENDED BY |. c. c.
Brief Filed With Supreme
Court Holds Plan Provides
''RuIe of Reason"
~ the Associated Press.

8y the Associated Press.
Defending its methods of fixing values
of railroad properties, under attack in
O'Fallon Railroad, the Interstate Com
merce Commission contended in brief
filed yesterday that valuation systems
proposed by railroads would destroy pri-
vate ownership and operation.
The brief will be argued by the COM
missions special counsel. Walter L.
Fisher former Secretary Of the Interior,
when the case is heard next month.
It recalls that the statutory Inree-judge
court in ST. Louis. which sustained the
commissions order for the recovery OF
excess earnings of the st. Louis q
O'Fallon Railroad. had held that it was
unnecessary to determine the various
contentious of the railroad concerning
the proper methods Of ascertaining Its
value.
Reproduction Cost Involved.
The commission, the brief points out,
regards the case as presenting for the
consideration Of the court the validity
of its administrative measures and It's
methods in the recapture OF excess
earnings. It asserted tnat the principal
ground of attack upon the valuation 1t
had used in its recapture order was that
it had used less than the Hypothetical
cost of reproduction Of the property on
the basis of current commodity prices.
The commission stated that Its
answer to this charge was that re-
production cost at present as COM
pared with the original cost OF con-
Struction. was only one of the many
elements to be considered in determin-
ing value for rate-making purposes. 1t
denied that its valuation was a matter
of formula, as charged by the railroad.
Method Held Fair.
Summarizing the arguments presented
in a 219-page brief, the commission as
serted that its method of valuation
gave consideration to current repro
duction costs and was fair and work
able, furnishing rule of reason" ap-
plicable to railroad regulation, adding
that it does not coniScate property
and deals with realities.
ITO substitute for the principles and
administrative methods which have pro-
duced the present favorable conditions,
the brief said, principles and admin
istrative methods under which rates Will
be conf1scatory if they are not greatly
increased and under which railroad
rates will become the most speculative
securities on the exchanges, would be
in the Judgment of the commission, to
destroy an effective regulation, OF rail-
road rates, and to discredit and per-
haps destroy the whole system OF pri-
vate ownership and operation"

'69I9HV IIBD 'IoJoIdx9 usoIIJy aul as having observed that exploring has become rich mans pastime.' ,
 His last expedition to Central Bra gil, ho said, cost three times as much as it would have 90 years ago.
 Similar experiences have been recorded by other museums and scientific organizations. The Car negie Institution of Washington, which has been conducting ocean, ographie explorations for Q nuns Der of years with the non-magnetic ship Carnegie, finds that the cost of operating the vessel now amounts to about $70,000 a year as compared with S30.0O0 before the world war, not including the salaries of the scientific staff.
 The National Geographic society has expended S400,000 on explora- tions and field surveys in the last few years, including $50,000 in the summer of 1925 to finance the North Greenland expedition of Capt. Donald MacMllan on which Comm. Richard E. Byrd obtained his first Arctic flying experience. The four years of work in ex- ploring Mount Katmai, resulting in the discovery of the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, on the Alaskan Peninsula, cost more than $75,000, and a three-year expedi- tion to uncover ancient Inca ruins in the mountains of Peru required $50,000.
 The figures do not cover the compiling and publishing of the masses of data obtained by the expeditions, Much of the increased cost is found by various explorers to be the result of advances in the prices for equipment, food and in cidentals, although salaries have gone up to some extent and labor and ether help has advanced con- siderably.

ODDS ON HOOVER BUT BETTING IS
 SLOW IN STATES
Three to One r avorite Odds Tn Such Election
 Betting as Prevails

Betting on the Presidential elec
 ton throughout the country ha
 been extremely light, according tt
 New York newspapers of date o
 October 16. Odds are at widi
 variance but heavily favor Hoover
 according to a survey of principa
 cities made in the past week by
 The World.
 Compared with previous nation. al elections wagers have been not only few in number but small in amount, the survey shows. West of the Mississippi it has been con- eluded apparently that the some what chaotic conditions in Eastern \ States preclude the posting oi odds this early in tho game.
 There seems to be reasonably firm market, with the odds against Smith averaging around 21a and 3 to 1. In some States they are more than to 1; in other Stases less than 3 to l. Of course on big bets, the New York odds usual ly rule, the money being wired here for action. The New York market is about to l against Smith on the national outcome and about II to 10 against him on winning the State.
 Following are some reports:
 NEW YORK: Odds which start ed at two to one on Heo9cr, rang cd to fourteen to five, and have gone as high as four to ono, .on the national elections. Three 10 one is available. Odds on the State were held as even money for some time, but have progressed to eleven to ten against Smith and in a few small cases to six to five. The eyens are most on offer. Vol ume of betting is light as con- pared with other Presidential cam paigns but brokers say it is bit early.
 PITTSBURGH, Pa: naly small bets reported. General odds on National result to against Smith. One bet several weeks ago $3,000 to $1,O00 that Hoover would have at least 2o0,c0O major ity in Philadelphia. Odds on the State are about the same.
 BUTTE, Mont: Bettors here lay 2A to 1 against Smith, with considerably money placed. Seven hundred dollars was offered at even money that Hoover beats Smith in Montana.
 SAN FRANCISCO: Hoover start ed 2 to l favorite; is now 3 to l. Other offers are ' to 5 Smith carries New York State; even money Hoover carries California by 275,00O and Los Angeles by l25,000 Bettor lay 2 to l Hoover carries tho State.
