North of Cairo, for 70G miles along both banks of the Nile, hundreds of thousands of fertile acres now are served by the British built sprinkler system.'
 The dam, situated at the first cataract of the worlds longest river. is unlike famous American dams. the National Geographic society points out. Masonry could not be eX- pected to hold the Nile in flood so the red granite wall of Aswan is pierced by 1So sluice gates When high water comes these sluice gates become noZZleS releasing jets Of muddy fluid IS to 2S feet wide and 6 1-2 feet high.

 The White Nile, which flows out of snowfed Lake Victoria, rolls along without much change month in and month out. The Abyssinian Niles carry the mud that fertilizes the farms of Egypt anew each year; the White Nile waters the crops during the dry season.

 The library is practically the only room in Marlborough House which has not been altered extensively. It was arranged by King Edward and probably there is no other quite like it in the world.
 At first glance it would seem that the walls are lined with books. But in reality they are only dummies hiding many cupboards.

PROSPERITY MYTH,
 SAYS SENATOR ME
Dakotan Tells Of Distress, Plays
 Corporate 'lnterests"

Washington, April F UP) - Growth of the tenant system in farming and low incomes of certain wage earners are -ited Senator Nye, republican, N. D.. to refute the claim that the United States is in an era of nation wide prosperity.
 In an article published by the American Federation of Labor. Nye said 64 per cent of those employed in mining and manufacturing have annual incomes of less than S750 and almost a third have incomes of less than $500.
 Thirty per cent of these families keep boarders and lodgers and in one of our large cities one person in every 1o is buried in a pauper's grave or turned over 10 medical fraternities for dissection" Nye said.
 Farm Situation
 Turning to the farm situation, Nye added.
 "The most ominous fact in agri- culture is the rapid growth of ten- ant farming. In 1880 about 25 per cent of our farms were operated under the tenant system. Today. in many of the states, it has passed the high water mark of 60 per cent.
 "Oyer 60 per cent of those who work in manufacturing and mining industries live in rented houses, 75 per cent of the homes are mort gagged. and out of a population of 12o,000,000 only little more than 400o.0O0 own homes free from en- cumbrance.'
 This distressing situation, Nye de- clared, is the direct result of grant ing to favored few privileges which involve the supreme functions of government.
 Hays "Interests"
 Great corporate interests, by parading the dangers of paternal- ism and socialism. have secured franchises which belong 10 the peo- pie" Nye said. "Is there any good reason why franchises which are fore the supposed benefit of the public should not be exercised di- rectly by the public?'
 Federal commissions created 10 protect the public interest have been packed" Nye charged, with men who are over friendly to trusts or under obligation to them.
 Have we sold our political and civil birthright. which involves the power of private taxation through 
 try, for mess of pottage known as economic development and mass production?" Nye asked.

SiomachDisorocrs First Revealed by
 Coated Tongue

Your tongue is nothing more than the upper end of your stom- ach and intestines. It is the first thing your doctor looks at. It tells at glance the condition of your digestive system-and physicians say that 90fo of all sickness starts with stomach and bowel trouble.
 A coated tongue is danger sig nal of those digestive disorders which lead to so many kinds of serious illness. It tells why the least exertion tires you out; why you have pains in the bowels, gas, sour stomach, dizzy spells.
 Coating on the tongue is a sign that you need Tanlac-the medi- cine which has helped thousands who were physical wrecks from stomach and bowel troubles-who had tried everything" in vain and about given up hope.
 Tanlac contains no mineral drugs; it is made of barks, herbs and roots. Get a bottle from your druggist today. Your money back if it doesn't help you.

May to Prince George, present King of

wearing mourning for poor Edie."

served the Prince of Wales. II am
glad May is not; one in the family is
enough"
The Princess May. indeed, was not a
sentimentalist. She never could have
gone through all she did at that time
and later if she had been.
Marriage Is Arranged.
Marriage between her and Prince
George was arranged definitely about
eight months after the death of the
Duke of Clarence, though it was not
publicly announced until the following
May. It took place two months later.
in July, 1893.
Between the Princess May and Prince
George there was not much love-mak-
ing. They did not, as a matter of fact,
see much of each other at this time.
The following story of how their actual
engagement came about has been told
ON high authority:
Prince George went to Windsor Cas-
tie to see his grandmother, who told
him that his engagement to the Prin-
cess May and the date of the marriage
should be announced without further
delay.
Prince George saw the Princess May
next day at White Lodge and told her
what the Queen had said.
Il suppose it is all right, May?" asked
the prince.
And the princess replied, 81 shall do
my best to make you happy"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-11-07

The announcement of the engage
ment went out to the press a week
later.
George Desired TO Marry.
It is certain King George desired to
marry the princess. He undoubtedly
felt it would be an advantage to have
so strong-willed a woman as the prin-
cess as his wife.
And from the moment of their en-
gagement there is not the slightest
doubt King George was willing to be-
come and did become dominated by the
strong will of the woman now Queen OF
England.
King Edward took control of the we'd
ding arrangements, though they had, OF
course, to be approved by Queen Vic
toria
King Edward was a first-rate hand
at arranging big ceremonials, and en-
joyed it. But he did not think it neces-
sary to consult to any great extent the
wishes of his son or his future daugh-
ter-in-law.
The Duke of Teck, father of the
Princess May, had no say at all about
the arrangements. An old friend of
his, who he met in London club one
evening, asked how the arrangements
for the wedding were coming on.

BY w. t. MARSDON.

DIX w. Il. MAhSDON.
When the Duke of Clarence died there
must have arisen in the minds of many
the thought that he left brother, and
that the same reason that had made a
marriage between the Princess May and
the Duke of Clarence desirable would
make a marriage between her and the
dukes brother, Prince George, equally
desirable
1t must have been nearly impossible
for the Princess May herself to shut
this obvious fact from her mind, and
it was fact that was obvious to every
one in the royal house of death at
Sandringham. This made the position
of the princess immensely difficult and
painful. AS she went about under the
gaze OF members Of the royal family
their eyes must have seemed to her to
say:
Belief Unfair to Princess.
Your sorrow is not as our sorrow;
your tears are not as our tears; there is
pretense in your grief and in your tears.
You are thinking of the wedding bells
that soon may be ringing for your mar
riage to the brother of the man whose
bride you we're to have become"
1t was all hard on the Princess May.
After the funeral she fed with her
parents to White Lodge. where she
could think in Quietness of the future
and what 1t might have in store.
ut must be remembered that the then
Princess of Wales was genuinely over
come with grief and sorrow over the
death Of her eldest son, for whom she
had the deepest affection. He always
meant more to her than her other son,

Highway Standardization

Uniformity and Standardization IN construction and
maintenance Of American highways was emphasized ia
reports submitted At the recent convention Of the Amer
lean Road Builders Association in Cleveland. These re-
ports covered practically every state in the Union ard
all phases Of highway construction. and each report
stressed the fact that practically no effort has been
made to standardlze.
The construction committee. composed Of some Of
the most prominent highway engineers in the country.
was advised 10 study design and construction methods
and to formulate q standard manual Of instructions and
interpretations for field engineers and inspectors.
The statement was made BY engineers that due 70
the lack Of Standardization the national road systems
are in q more or less chaotic condition, and that mil
liens of dollars have been virtually wasted. They eX-
pressed the opinion that unless Standardization Of con-
struction and nsinsvnnses is achieved the iess "a the
nation A. a whole during the nest decade will exceed
the present expenditures for highway improvement.
The federal government has it within its power -
effect this needed change in the policies Of the various
states. Il is true that highway construction and maiu-
tsnsnee must conform to local conditions. but this does
not signify that there should be such utter lack o.
uniformity or that highways over which the traffic Is
heavy should be constructed Of inferior materials while
other highways. which never will carry heavy traffic
are constructed 10 meet every requirement Of a trunk
line. So long as there Is no uniformity Of policy or
exist. They are The result Of individual or community
opinion relative 10 the necessary specifications for O
certain highway, and il is obvious that with a medley
Of opinions there can he no chance for uniformity or
Standardization.
