STAMPEDE TO Meet
Prince OF Wales
Kings Illness Only Sds Interest
in Spring Court

| London, March 9, GPl-The anxious
maneuverng for invitations to the
spring court at Buckingham palace
is expected to become frantic stam-
/ pede now that there is a serious pos
! sibility the Prince OF Wales will act
/ for the king.
! The large gilt cards bearing the
engraved message, The lord cham
berlain is commanded to invite you
to Buckingham palace" always have
exercised mesmeric power over the
debutantes OF the world, but this
will be the first time that his royal
highness has been cast in so import
ant role.
Queen Mary's announcement that
the courts would be held caused
tantes expecting presentation by
their ambassadors. 1t was thought
for time that King Georges illness
and his possible absence from Lon
don would cause postponement.
Now the queen has declared the
prince Will dSSlsl ItI II tHS Ming 10
unable to be present.
The royal courts, which are held
in Buckingham palace each year are
considered the most formal affairs
of the British social world. Young
women are presented by sponsors
from the ranks Of older women who
have been presented in the past.
Those from other countries are es-
corted by their ambassa doris. Many
more applications always are filed
with the EN- ba ssies than can be ac-
commodated. but an even larger
number is expected this year.
! The ceremony itself is brief. The
king and queen enter the throne
room after their approach is herald
cd by blast OF trumpets. Near the
throne chairs stand the officers OF
the household and members of the
royal family. The debutante is an
nounced at the door. She crosses the
floor. makes deep curtsey before
the king and queen and retires to
smaller room. Her costume complies
with court rules. embodying a tram.
long gloves. feather fan and head
dress.
The principal significance of a
presentation is that the debutantc's
name il set down officially on so
cicty's invitation lists OF the year.
And with the Prince of Wales taking
ones bow in person there would be
an added glamor.

BABY EXAMINATION
To BEGIN MONDAY
% Youngsters Summoned to Be
Tested for K. Of c. Contest

New Britain's Finest" babies are
daily being entered in great num-
bers in the Knights Of Columbus 100
per cent perfect baby contest. While
the rules specifically state that only
babies between the ages of six
months and three years are eligible
for examination. the nurses in
charge are hourly besieged with re-
quests to accept youngsters above or
below the age limits. Even with
such widespread interest apparent.
the committee In charge is reluctant
to extend this limit as they have ITO
doubt that there will be sufficient
babies complying with the rules re-
garding age to total the mark of
100 set by them.
The second shipment OF silver
loving cups to be used as awards in
the contest was received yesterday

was intoxicated at the time of the
accident.
Pilots and mechanics testified that
they had talked to Stultz just before he
went UP for his last flight and that they
saw no evidence of his having been
drinking.
The coroner'S verdict declared that ut
has been found that Stultz died Of a
broken neck, ascertained by a medical
examination ordered by the coroner,
when his plane crashed after his con-
trolls had been damned while he was
executing falling. leaf"
District Attorney Elvin N. Edwards

AIR EXPERTS SEEK
FIELD RADIO BANDS
Aviation Representatives Tell Star.
buck Of Need to Aid in
Landing.
Rs the Associated Press.

HI the Associated Press.
A group of Army, Navy and COM
mercial aviation representatives con-
ferred today with w. D. L. Starbuck of
the Radio Commission, concerning plans
for assigning airways and landing field
radio frequencieS.
One participant was Herbert Hoover,
jr., representing the Western Air Elk
press of Los Angeles. He recommended
a survey Of frequencies as affected by
altitude, saying the very high and
very low frequencies assigned on the
Pacific Coast are impractical in the
Southwest"
THE bands are narrow and temper
amental in that mountainous country,
he added.
H. w. Walls of the Department of
Commerce suggested the setting aside
of a common landing field frequency,
permitting man on the ground to
give incoming planes priority in land
ing.
AT the Detroit shows, several per-
sons were killed whose lives might
have been saved IL landing field di-
rector could have given them instruc-
tions," he said.
l.. D. Seymour of Chicago, repre-
senting National Air Transport. Inc,
told Of a recent occasion in Chicago
when one of the large sightseeing ships
of his company had to hover in the
air for an hour, waiting to land, while
smaller ships darted beneath it to the
landing field.
The day is coming very soon when
some person must assign a landing
period to each airplane as 1t comes IN, !"
said Seymour.
