of unworthy members of their families;
We read descriptions of their homes,
but We know little of the finer qualities
of their home life, their deep affec-
tions, their sorrows, their self-denials,
their courage and their idealisms.

fears Germany will begin to bring
pressure or worse on Poland to effect
changes in Germany's eastern frontiers.

ROYAL MECHANICS

A short time ago two Americans
were driving along a road in Bull
garia when their auto refused to go
farther. They worked on it for a
couple of hours without success.
Then along came a fine car. 1t stop
ped and a man got out and asked if
he could help. He did help, and in
a few minutes had the motor going
all right. AS the Americans follow
ed him into the next city they saw
everybody removing their hats and
bowling as his car went by. They
then learned that it was King Boris.
a splendid mechanic, who had fixed
their engine.
And there is the story of King AL
bert of Relbium being a master me-
chanic and working in overaIls in
his own fine machine shop. It is the
special hoppy of the tall, 2O0-pound
king, and it is said that he can take
an airplane or autmobile apart and
put it together again with the best
of them. He often does the repair
ing on the six royal automobiles, and
he enjoys that work far more than
attending court functions or making
or listening to speeches.
The most interesting and signif-
cant point in these stories is that
labor can be, and is, in
itself, per Sc, so fascinating as to
amusement and pleasure
for men who have everything the
world can offer - honors, power,
homage and the rest.

"The fruit of labor is the sweetest
of pleasures" said Vauvenargues.
Some of the most wretched men on
earth are wealthy "aristocrats" who
feel above putting their hand to any
sort of useful effort. Some become so
bored with life that they commit
suicide; others keep on living and
looking bored-and unnecessary.

the Midgely menage sought the
buried" treasure in the front yard
of their quarters and kitchen. They
dug and dug, doubtless assured,
by some of the soothsayers of their
race, that the profane old pirate had
buried his golden plunder before the
very kitchen door of the most i'm
pressive residence in lower Della
ware. No reasoning as to the i'm
possibility of Captain Kidd, with a
price on his head, venturing such a
bold stroke as to bring his stolen
treasure to the Ridgely's front door,
where justice surely awaited him,
seemed to check their eagerness and
for months and years the gold hunt
continued, until every particle of the
soil had been turned over and over
again in the vain quest. But if Cap
tain Kidd had ever visited Dover,
and he probably did, he left his plum
der down the bay with his pirate
craft.
Since the early days of the last
century the famous old Ridgely
house has undergone but little
change. An addition of recent date
is modelled to conform to the original
house, and the extension of the gar
den, leaving part of the old hotel
walls intact, and using the we'll sea-
soned brick in others, averts the
least feeling of newness-or false
