great simplicity and charm Of manner
Although q man of distinct courage and
strong convictions, he is intensely shy.
He has none of the austerity or aloof-
ness of a monarch. He rsx.ees the
visitor feel Immediately at home" He
is a careful listener rather than a COM
municative talker. He has the typical
dark features Of his Slav countrymen,
with whom he is probably more closely
connected, by birth, blood and breeding
than any King of any people in the
world.
Mild hammered, Soft Spoken.
The Kings large, prominent nose
firm mouth and dark eyes denote the
suggestion either of the autocrat or the
dictator. He is mild hammered and soft
spoken. His rimless eyeglasses and his
ENGAGING smile soften his dusky fea-
lures. He has jet black hair and
closely cropped moustache. He dresses
habitually in the uniform of general,
which offsets his somewhat understood
frame to better effect than civilian
dress. He has just passed his fortieth
birthday.
Throughout all the recent months of
political stress and trial, when King
Alexander tried by might and main to
bring peace between the dominant but
less advanced Serbs of the old kingdom
and the virile, progressive, but politi-
callv ambitious CroatS of the North, the
sovereign was afflicted constantly with
poor health. He suffered internationally
from colds and fever. He was also tor
mented with tooth trouble. which was
relieved only when he sought the serv-
ices of an American dentist.
Notwithstanding his physical distress,
the King remained at his desk, day and
night, trying still to calm the surging
noIitical waters, which latterly had be-
come so turbulent that they threatened
to sulbmerge his kingdom. The Serbian
and Croatian political leaders remained
inflexible and irreconcilable to the end.
1t was then that the King stepped in
and virtually created new Jugoslavia
overnight.
Dislikes Publicity.
King Alexander dislikes publicity and
rarely talks for publication, but his
views regarding the crisis that con-
fronted him may be summed up briefly
as follows:
TT was one Of your great Americans,
Abraham Lincoln, I think" he said,
"who said that a house divided against
itself cannot stand. Well, although all
our people are of the same opinion, the
politicians attempted to divide them.
They sought individual privileges for
their provinces which We could not
grant. I could not allow them to UNI
dermine the foundations OF unity and
solidarity which it had taken SO many
wears to build up I labored hard to
avoid taking the drastic steps took,
but it was the only solution. Desperate
situations demand desperate remedies.
MY patience exhausted and my
strength taxed to the breaking point

demands of the leaders of the various
political parties, decided would abol-
ish Parliament, although I have pro-
found confidence in and respect for
true parliamentary government. and
that would deal directly with the peo--
pie. My people are Of one heart and
mind, and I knew they would support
me. Although in the new regime they
will preserve their Municipalities, they
all belong to the one family and have
one common ideal-the unity Of the
Southern Slav race.

Smuggling has been cut down as

admit that trickles continue over all

How an I teach my children to
be unselfish?" is the question asked
more often by mothers than almost
any other In this matter Of child
training. Because it does seem to be
part of childhood to be selfish. But
not necessarily SO. Children wouldn't
be SO selfish If everything on earth
wasn't done to start with to make
them 80. A baby a few weeks old can
be very selfish If he is humorcd in
everything he wants.
It's Taught at Home
Children naturally must be taught
tinselfishness at home where their
personal interests are strongest. Their
behavior outside will reflect abso-
lutely what they learn at home.

who are spoiled and humored and
fused over at home to 60 out and
