BEVERLEY HILLS. Sept, 24, (P) The old bromide about the south still fighting the Civil War doesn't hold up so good. It was suggested to the northern boys at their rel union that they hold joint rel union with the boys of the Confed- eracy. Well, they just pulled their whiskers and started firing criti- cism at the suggestion Said they would never meet 'em till the south admitted they were wrong.
 So that is one merger that is off indefinitely. The north got all the pensions and postoffices. They don't need anything else. Yours, Will Rogers.

ILLNESS
IS CHECKED

WINDSOR. England. June 1
U.N.S.)--In view of the important
political developments impending
within the next few weeks due to
the election of new Parliament.
every effort is being made to nurse
King George back to health as
Lord Dawson, of Penn, chief
surgeon to the King, and Sir
Stanley Hewett. physican-in-ord-
mary, returned to Windsor Castle
from London today to investigate
the progress made in draining an
abcess which formed under the site
of an old scar on the right side OF
the chest.
Nation Anxious
In spite of the reassuring bull.
letins issued thus far, the kings
illness is looked upon as a recur-
renee of the serious infection which
so nearly cost him his life a few
months ago. 1t is believed, how.
ever, that the progress OF the intec-
ton has been arrested in time, md
that as soon as the purulent fluid
has been completely drained from
the Kings system, there will be no
cause for alarm.
1t was regarded as a significant
sign that Sir Stanley Hewett, who
has been with the King constantly
since he was stricken last Sunday,
did not find it necessary to remain
at Windsor last night, but motored to
London with Lord Dawson, leaving
Henry l.. Martin, surgeon-apothecar
at Windsor Castle, in sole charge of
the patient.
Has Good Night
The hope was expressed in court
circles that His Majesty may be
sufficiently improved next week to
take over the duties in connection
with the creation. of a new prime
minister and cabinet. but it has now
been ascertained that if necessary
this function would be performed
by the Council Of State which came
into being during the early stages
of the Kings last illness.
However, several members of the
deposed conservative government
are on the Council OF State, and it
might lead to an embarrassing
situation il this body were called
upon to carry out the Kings func.
