ITALY THRILLS
FOR WEDDING
Throng Gathers for Rites
OF Princess Giovanni
And Car Boris

ASSASI. Italy. Oct. 24-t29-
Kings and commoners. statesmen
and hawkers, soldiers and priests
converged on this little city today
in anticipation of the marriage to-
morrow OF Princess Giovanni,
third daughter Of the Italian king,
TO Car Boris III Of Bulgaria.
Prior 10 the ceremony a royal
train bearing the bride and groom.
King Victor Emanuel, Queen FL
ena, and others attending them
will arrive from Turin and San
will carry the royal figures back
to old haunts while Boris and Gil
ovanna leave for a short Adriatic
honeymoon prior TO a second cere-
mony at Sophia.
The Roman Catholic ceremony
here is by special dispensation OF
the pope. who is permitting Gio-
wanna to marry Boris. OF the Greek
Orthodox faith. with the proviso
that their children be brought up
as Roman Catholics and that there
be no succeeding Greek orthodox
marriage ceremony which might be
construed as having been recog-
nized by the Vatican. Because of
these stipulations II is regarded as
probable that the Sofia ceremony
will be little more than a cere-
monious registration of the marri-
age.
A last-minuts Encouragement
will permit the ceremony TO be held
in the so called upper church OF
st. Francis, instead OF the lower
basilica, on which ii Is superim-
posed. Princess Giovanni had
hoped TO be married in the lower
church. in which is the sarcoph-
agus containing the remains Of st.
Francis of Assist. II is the first
Gothic church in Italy, and, with
the upper church. contains art
treasures surprising almost any
other ecclesiastical art collections
in provincial Italy. The change
was made because of the larger
upper auditorium
An expert squad Of traffic po-
iicemen from Rome has been I'M
ported 10 handle tomorrow's traf-
fic-which will consist principally
Of the royal automobiles. since all
others are 10 be kept off the streets
from the time the royal party ar
rives until IL leaves.
Besides King Victor Emanuel
and Queen Elena, other royal fig
ures present will incluude the for
mer Queen Sophie Of Greece. and
no less than IS princes and prln-
cesses Of the blood.

Today Is the
Anniversary of
CHARLOTTE

Charlotte Saunders, celebrated
American actress, was born in Bos-
ton, July %, 1916.
She was one of five children left
poor by their mother by the early
death Of their father, a West India
merchant.
However, she had a fine c~ontralto
voice and, in 1885, she made her ap-
pearance as an opera singer in the
Marriage of FigeSo."
Shortly afterward, her voice failed,
but she undertook q dramatic part,
Lady Macbeth" and was so sue
cessful that it became Of her
greatest roles.
After successes in New York and
London, she went to Rome, where she
had a home for some years. She was
honored in Europe's most cultivated
society.
She became known, in her later
years, as a reader, with singular In
terpretative powers.
She died in Boston Feb. IL, 1875.
In 1880 her grave in Mount Auburn
was marked by an obelisk which in
form is q copy of Cleopatra's Needle
as it should in Heliopolis.

Professional Advertising

The old idea that the reputable doctor. lawyer. archi-
tect or other professional man could not advertise and
maintain his professional dignity is rapidly being sup
planted by the conviction that he should advertise in the
interest OF the public as well as of himself.
Benjamin F. Belts, editor of the American Architect
magazine, points out this tendency in that publication,
expressing the belief that his own profession will soon
make use Of advertising, both to protect the public
against the Jerry builder" and to point out the reputable
architects function in bringing beauty as well as stark
utility into his ccmmunity's life.
While 1t may be regarded as unethical for architect.
lawyer or doctor to proclaim his individual merits to the
public. it is to the public interest that such professional
classes should advertise as groups and point out to the
public the advantage Of consulting a reputable practi-
tionez. listing members Of the profession and telling
where they may be found, the editor shows. Under to-
days conditions the stranger in a city or the man seeking
such professional services for the first time is as likely
as not to be taken In by the quack doctor with his huge
window signs and advertising cards or by the builder
who. free from an architects supervision, substitutes
cheap materials and shoddy workmanship which go I'm
detected BY the man who is paying for the Job.

recently relaxed It's stand against such advesttsing. tAs

No War for japan

The discussion over the London treaty has caused some
Americans to drag the old Japanese boyle out of the at
tic and look 1t over again with fear filled hearts. Before
We get real panicky about 1t. however, we might pay at
tention to some recent remarks by w. r. Castle Jr, who
has just returned to this country after serving as our
special ambassador to Japan.
1T is amazing to me, once more at home in Washing
ton, to find the antt-trcaty people still harping on the
Japanese bogie," says Mr.. Castle. Japan could hardly
live except for her exports to America, amounting to
nearly $4oo.Ooo.ooo. She imports from US nearly $780,
100000 worth of goods and depends on America for the
cotton which she manufactures and r~e-exports to China.
War with America. which would be serious for us, would
be ruin for Japan"
That Is sober sense. In the face of it, why get SO wor-
ried about one or two extra cruisers in the Japanese
fleet?

Lindbergh Didn't Do It
milwaukee Journal

NNAA W0uA OOIudD
Tne Hunter brothers at Chicago have literally hung up
q new record of staying in the air. With it they make a
sacrifice that shows their allegiance to a. standard. Of
fered $4,000 to have their picture taken holding conspicu-
ously q certain brand of cgaret, they answer: "Lindbergh
didn't take that kind of money and we aren't going to.
either" 1t may we'll be doubted whether even Lind
oergn. snowered with superlatives as he has been, has
this.
The rest Of us catch a glimpse here of something more
tnan q physical feat In the making Of this record. There
Is nothing very flasny about it. but it calls for steadfast
purpose and a good nerve. The ability Of John and
kenneth Hunter to keep going IS being tested, and what
they achieve is to become the standard for the best quail
iy OF airmen, as what their engine and plane can do is
10 ne a measure OF mechanical excellence. A whole
family, four men and their sister, were giving much
more than a month to the test, for there must come rest
alterward. They count on making money out Of 1t, but
they do not want all the money they might have. They
prefer loyalty to what they consider the ethics Of the
flyers profession.
More than physical strength and steady nerves are
needed for this test. Character Is needed. And char
acter displays itself when these men refuse $4,000 be-
cause loyalty to rrinc.pe Is wcrth more to them than
easy money.

The Old Water Wheel Comes Back

The old-fashoned water wheel, the same that ground
the grain and did the other millwork for our great
grandfathers, is coming back to usefulness in this mech
anistic year of 1880!
On many eastern country estates quaint little stone
mill buildings have begun to appear beside the streams,
and power derived from the water wheel, transformed
into electricity, is being used to provide light, ~refrigera-
ton, the pumping of water, heat for cooking ard, in
emergencies, even household heating.
Not only on elaborate estates. but on large farms where
economy of operation is q factor. the combination Of wa
ter wheel and electric generator is coming into popularity
with owners. An article in a magazine says:
There are few country places which do not have a
brook large enough to furnish lights and small ap-
streams large enough for an electric range, while a few
have sufficient power to supply some heat. To illustrate
that many small streams are overlooked, a stream three
feet wide and one foot deep flowing at a velocity of 30
feet a minute will produce enough electricity at a 1o-foot
head to supply 20 25-watt lamps continuously, or 80 such
lamps for six hours out of the a."
