ITS what you Americans would cal!

arrived here with his bride, the Duchess
de Guise, who formerly was Princess
Anne of France.
Further questions availed nothing
The tall angular son of the Duke Of
Aosta was not perturbed at all when
tol of reports of the possible abdicaton
of Italy's King in his favor. He ep-
peared hardly interested.
The couple came here from Canada.
where an extended honeymoon took
them over the Northwest sightseeing.
"Just passing through he said in an
swer to queries.
The Brussels story was printed by
the ObServateur, newspaper pub

ties adopted the newly projected law
making the Grand Fascist Council a
part of the official government. 1t
stated that the Duke of Apulia and not
the heir apparent. Prince Humbert.
would succeed to the throne.

Joan takes credit upon herself for
he friendship that has formed between
herself and Mrs. Cooney. who is known
to the readers of "Sonnvsayings" as
Fannie Y. Cory. her maiden name
Before Mrs. Cooney came to Washing
Ton last week as a guest of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thompson. they were all strangers
to each other.
Wrote Letter to Artist.
Last February. Joan conceived the
idea that she would write to the author
of "Sonnysayings" and so she addressed
letter in care of The Evening Star.
Eventually it was forwarded to Mrs.
Coonay in her Montana home, where
she lives on a ranch q miles out of
Helena. Mrs. Cooney receives lots of
fan mail-more than she can ever pre-
tend to answer-but Joan'S letter was
so brimful of girlish enthusiasm and
ideas that she entered upon steady
correspondence with her.
The upshot of this correspondence
friendship was that Mrs. Cooney
promised to visit Joan at her home
when she came East this Fall to place
her daughter. Miss Sayre Cooney, In

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Results of an improvement and expansion program in the American postal service, particularly in the air mail, were set out today by Post master General New in his annual report to President Coolidge which noted an operating deficit of $33,- 363,14S, for the year ending June 30
 The operation of the Jones' White Merchant Marine Act, de signed to stimulate American ship building with aid from postal reve- nue. was not reflected in the re- port as new contracts could not be made to begin during the per iod The five cent rate on letters sent by air also was made effective since the date of the report but MT.

 Achievement

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-De spite the glamor of demands for farm relief legislation. Secretary Jar dine in his annual report to Presi- dent Coolidge. declares that "it is beyond question that 1928 will go down in American agricultural his tory as year of achievement"
 Insisting that the gross income from agriculture this year will be well above the 1927-2S total of S12,253, 100000, the Secretary never theless couples his forecast with the statement that this does not mean that agricultural grievances are insubstantial nor does il mean that the remedy for these very real difficulties should be left 10 the free play of economic forces" ;"
 The situation from which ag- riculture is still suffering has con- plex economic, social and other roots," he says. For these the nation cannot escape it's just share of responsibility in that it's offi- cials advocated overwhelming ex- pansion of production during the war. In like manner the nation must accept it's share of responsi- bility in seeking and applying sound and adequate relief.

 Discussion

WASHINGTON. Dec 5.-Under cloud of speculation, the Swing Johnson Boulder Dam bill comes up today in the Senate as the first business of the short session meas ures. 3Il
 Discussion promises to be en- twined with the report of the Board of Engineers and Geologists which yesterday recommended in creased estimates and construction of the dam in Black Canyon in- stead of in Boulder Canyon, Colo rado River

 The bill. after it's passage in the House. was taken up in the Senate toward the end of the last session. It repained unfinished business, therefore having the prior right in the Senates discussion this ses- sion.

The Unalga will sail at 6:30 a. m. tomorrow for Yakutat to start a rescue party from there to the place where the wreckage is said to have been seen.
 Conditions along the shore there are such, it was said, that it is impossible to make a land ing even in favorable weather. This necessitates sending out an overland party from Yakutat. This will not be difficult if the country is frozen back from the coast but can be made only by canoes with frequent portages if it is still open.
 The reports of the wreekage were brought here by Peter Frank. who arrived here from Yakutat on December g. He was brought to the Customs authori- ties by Max 1talio, Mayor of Yakutat, who has been here for sometime and to whom he told his story.
