KINGS RIGID
TRAINING VALUABLE
Bow Prince Emmanuel Owes
FearIessness, ModeSty
to Guardian.
BY the Associated Press.


ROME, January 4.-Victor Emmanuel
III, by the grace of God and by the
will of the nation" as his official title
runs. King of Italy" claims to belong
to the oldest among the reigning houses
was Humbert "Albimanus," or of the
white hands," who held the title of
Count of Savoy as far back as 1882.
He was the first of this rugged noun
taineering race to found dynasty In
that impregnable region between
France, italy and Switzerland. The
Savoyard rulers gradually transformed
this small, impoverished earldOm into a
vast and powerful kingdom. They first
stretched northward as far as Geneva,
and in $50 years they gained an outlet
to the Mediterranean through the pos
session of Nice, alternately taking and
losing it, until in 1889 1t was ceded to
France as compensation for the assist
ance given by Napoleon III in the war
against Austria.
Eyes Turn to Italy.
The eyes of these chieftains of the
snowy peaks were continually turned
toward Italy, with its luXuriant valleys
and wonderful climate. 1t took nearly
nine centuries and the work of many
generations of statesmen, diplomats,
scholars, saints, and, above all, numer-
Gus warriors, to gather under the scep-
ter of their present descendant, Victor
Emmanuel III, the whole peninsula.
The reigning King owes many OF his
qualities of fearleSSneSs, modesty and
cleverness to his early training. Sena-
tor Morandi, teacher of his majesty
told some interesting anecdotes about
the severity of the education of his
royal pupil.
A Piedmontese officer, Col. Oslo, who
was brilliant soldier, strict dis
ciplinarian, but also a very cultured
man, was entrusted with the care of
the young prince, who was delicate and
rather weak. Oslo resolved to trans
form him into a strong and learned
prince. The colonel obliged him to get
up at O'Clock every morning, Winter
and Summer, habit which the King
continues to this day. A cold bath was
followed by half an hours gymnastics.
Only a few minutes were devoted to
breakfast. as at 1880 O'Clock lessons
began. His majesty still retains this
early custom of eating in a hurry.
Fifteen minutes suffice for lunch and
20 for dinner to the despair of his
courtiers, who, having to keep up some
kind of conversation during that short
time, get up from the table" to use
their own words, "hungrier than when
they sat down."

RECIPES OF DESTRUCTION

Here are a few good recipes for
destroying your home, factory or
any other property:
Let your electric wiring go with
out repairs or inspections over &
long period of time; leave piles Of
oil-soaked rags or other waste lying
around in corners of youi garage or
basement; don't use fre-resistive
construction in building, because II
costs a little mores droA lighted
matches and cigarette butts wher.
ever you may happen to be; light
your fires with gasoline.
No one, of course, is going to con-
sciously use these recipes of de-
struction, or any of the many others
of the same nature. Yet it is safe
to say that millions of Americans
have equal fire risks in their homes
or places of business. LaZiness.
carelessness, ignorance-these are
the best friends of the fire menace
Every time the fire engines das'
out in their race against time l.
means that someone has done some
thing or failed to do something
that a little intelligent though
would have warned him against. We
Americans are the most careless o
peoples when it comes to fire, and
the most wasteful.
Fire Prevention Week will short
ly be here. 1t will be a good tim'
to profit by the knowledge anf
teachings of the experts who are
fighting the discouraging war
against fire. Almost every great
conflagration would be prevented i
we spent a few more dollars or {
little more time in guarding against
risks. Begin now.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Frederick H. Cowles, chairman OF
the Forest Fire Prevention Commit
tee, seeks to interest Government i
more efficient forest protection.
Disappearing forests explain di-
minishing rainfall. The forest area
once 100000 acres, is reduced
now to 1O0,000,000 acres.
More than 700 rivers and streams
shown on old maps, can no longer be
found. Under normal condition
80 per cent of rainfall would be ah,
sorbed by trees and other vegetatio"
re-evaporated and returned TO earth
in rain.
For lack of trees the water rushes
into streams and rivers, washing
valuable top soil away and out to
sea. That is one of the ten thor
sand things the President is asked
to take up, all at once.
He has taken it up. through Sec
rotary Hyde of the Department O
Agriculture. The difficulty is to
fight fire ON mountain ridges, whera
no water is available, and the fire
goes roaring through thousands OF
acres in a day.

Worcester Annoyed by
). Exuberance of Youth

One has but to delve into biography
to discover that even the great were,
beset with human frailties just like
less famous mortals. The daughter of
the poet Longfellow, in her memoirs.
tells how the children kept the COM
munity on edge.
Longfellow's neighbors did not in
variably share his indulgence toward
his children. The photographer, Wor-'
cester, was next door neighbor In
Cambridge. A little pond, where the
children skated, lay between the two
places. The boys, OF course, were
noisy, which was not minded at home.
But dictionary making is not like
poetry and the dignified Worcester,
disturbed, frequently came down and
chased the children off his end of the
pond, ordering them, in words not to
be found in his dictionary, to keep
their racket at home.

A PLEA FROM CANADA

The roads department of the
Province of Quebec, in conducting a
campaign to reduce automobile ac-
cidents, has made the following
plea eff you would help hold down
automobile fatalities, have your
selves and your machines under con-
troll, be more eager to respect rights
of others than to insist upon full
exercise of your own, do unto others
as you would that they should dc
unto you, and always and ever be
careful"
The truth in this message is I'M
assailable. Care, competence, good
udgment-these are the three
graces of accident prevention. A
really unavoidable accident is al
most nonresident. Behind every
mishap, whether it's result is bent
fender or a number of dead, is the
figure of the inconsiderate, careless
or incompetent driver.
The accident toll can never be re-
duced without public realization o
the. facts and willing public co-opera
ton. Every driver should under
stand that his own life is in constant
danger so long as the reckless an6
incompetent crowd the highways.
This message from Canada has 6
personal application to every Amer
lean motorist.

Animals and Reptiles
Worshiped by Mankind

It is q fact that cows, on acc0uncl
of their supposedly sacred character,
are allowed to roam at will In India,
but the animals are venerated or re-
spected rather than actually wor-i
shipped. Real worship of cattle, how,
ever, has existed at other periods OIL
the worlds history. 1t was common
among the ancient Egyptians, who pos
sessed the cult of the bull Apis When
one representative Of apis died, q;
new bull was sought and specially edu-,
Gated in sacred matters for four
months. Celebration of its birthday
was held annually, with sacrifices OF,
white oxen, and it was unlawful for
women to go near it. Apis was sup-a
posed to have Oracular powers, and.
after death, was mummified. Another
animal that has received great respect
has been the white elephant, which is,
believed, in Siam, TO carry dead
mans soul. 1t cannot be purchased,
and feasts are held for 1t and a.
funeral when it dies. But perhaps
the most feared and respected of all
is the serpent. At Whydah, in Africa,
there is serpent temple, and these,
reptiles in many parts Of Africa are,
regarded as incarnations Of dead:
relatives.

After many negotiations between
England and the United States and
much conflicting information reported
regarding the possibilities resulting
from such negotiations, definite and
reliable word is at last given from
Washington. 1t is to the effect that
a five power naval conference will
be held early in December of this
year, probably in London. 1t will
consider the limitation of the cruis-
err, submarine, and. destroyer fleets
of the five great navies of the world
those of the United States, Great
Britain, France, Italy, Japan-and
will go the Washington conference
one better in the reduction of capital
ships. l. will also be given the
work of ironing out the only remain
ing wrinkle in the present Anglo
American negotiations, difference
which has settled down to the detail
of whether the United States shall
build three extra cruisers with g.
inch guns or four or five extra
cruisers with 6-inch guns. Secre-
tary of State Stimson has declared
that if the conference succeeds, the
race in ornaments is off and IAN en-
tirely different atmosphere is substi-
tuted for the present one-an at
mosphere which will not only benefit
our national defense but will greatly
benefit the whole attitude of our re-
lations with Great Britain"

Peculiar Fitness Of Trees
as National Memorials

q .
A few trees Of the millions which
people the forests, farms and towns
Of the United States have been sim
gled out by history to play famous
parts and to stand as memorials to
great events in the life of the coun-
try. "Symbolizing fully as well as
tablet or pillar could do, some sig
nificant achievement, these trees rep
resent the peculiar fitness of trees
as memorials, and it is specially ap-
propriate that they should have
hall of fame of their own" says the
Forestry Almanac of the American
Tree Association.
Some distinguished trees stand out
by reason of their age, such as the
General Sherman sequoia in the
Sequoia National park Of California.
Its age is reckoned at 1000 years, and
1t has diameter Of % feet and
height of $50. Many of the red
woods and seQuoias are as old or
nearly as old as this one.
When Charles Sumner was senator
from Massachusetts he sent to the
car of Russia an acorn from a tree
near the tomb of Washington at Mount
Vernon. This acorn grew to an oak
in the palace grounds in st. Peters
burg, and an acorn from 1t was
planted in the White House grounds
in Washington in 1904 and is now q!

THE SALVATION ARMY KNOWS

THE SALVATION ARMY KNOWS
"Surely it will be conceded that
the Salvation Army knows some
thing about the evils of strong
drink.
Enemies of the Volstead Act
waste their time when they try tc
tell organizations like the Salvation
Army that national prohibition will
not work, or that it is impractical
and more vicious in it's application
than the effect of unbridled public
drinking. AS matter of fact, vas
changes have come about since pro-
hibition and to undo them would be
to strike blow at every fireside and
every industry in this country.
"Why try to tell the Salvation
Army that the park benches are
crowded with drunken men as they
were before prohibition when we
used to sgather them in on Thanks
giving Day, for example, and fight to
salvage them? They are gone. The
benches still remain, but the occu-
pants are not drunk any more and
are climbing upward to better things
while the public rushes by all I'M
needing. Why try to tell us that
workingmen spend their wages be-
fore their families can get the
money for food, and that men beat
their wives and children as in the
old days? 1t simply is not the

Walters was first convicted in
1927. but was granted a new t-ial
when it was shown the trial judge
had erred in refusing to admit GER
tain defense testimony. The jury
returned a verdict of guilty of
first degree murdec',y without the
death penalty. ~
The jury trying Walters this
time failed to. bring in the recon-
mendation of mercy, but Judge
Waggman said he was influenced
by the verdict of the first jury. i
Walters, the evidence showed,
shot and killed his chief on a
lonely road near South Mountain

Stotler on pretense of locating a
still. The informer declared he had
shot in self defense after an argu-

Evidence showed that Stotler4 had
