But that was in the fairy books

Helen, former princess Of Greece

And for reason enough.

Her life has been succession of

A few years later she witnessed

Subsequently, she saw the dethrone-

King George. And next came the
death of her beloved grandmother,
Queen Mother Olga.
Helen and Prince Carol were mar
ried in March. 1921. They had met
only slightly, for time in Switzer-
land. 1t was not a love match; 1t
was in the hope Of cementing a
political alliance between Greece
and Rumania.
It is rumored throughout Europe
and perhaps truthfully so-that
Helen really was in love- with a
handsome Greek officer and that on
the morning of the wedding she
threw herself on her knees before
her father and implored him TO
save her from a marriage that was
repugnant to her.
But Constantine was first a king,
then a father-so the marriage went
ahead.

There is no evidence that either
ever did learn to love the other.
The crown prince and his wife con-
tinued to live under the same roof,
but at two ends of Cotroceni pal

them as residence. They saw
each other rarely.
Before the end of Carol and
Helens first year of married life,
their son Michael waas born. Helen,
though she never had loved his
father. dearly loved the boy. Ger
tainly Europe never has known a
better royal mother.
The arrival of the child, however,
did not tend to draw the young
couple closer together. They drift
ed even farther apart. The actions
of Queen Marie, Helen's mother-lrl-
law and the real head Of the royal
household, apparently failed to help
matters.
And so it followed that when
Michael was little more than
baby in her arms, Helen's prlncely

REASON FOR RADIO
QUESTION SOUGHT
Possibilities for Use of Cen.
SuS Information Rouse
Speculation.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Just why Congress inserted into the
census law a question about the num-
Der of radio sets has excited q wide
spread curiosity.
The first purpose, Of course, is to
find out how many radio receiving sets
there are in the United States. The
radio manufacturers always have
wanted to know. because II they could
learn just what territories are rela-
lively lacking in sets and what terri
tories are saturated they can tell where
to concentrate their sales efforts. But
1t is denied that the manufacturers
really were the deciding influence. for
there were other commodities whose
sponsors wanted to get similar infor-
nation by territories and Congress
didn't grant their requests.
Propaganda Study Possible.
It has been, moreover, q source of
much controversy as to whether the
idea behind the census Of radio sets
was to discover what possible use the
radio might be for the dissemination
of ideas, political and otherwise. Con-
gress is peculiarly sensitive about dis
tribution of so-called propaganda and
has always watched all agencies for
the transmission of data that might
bear upon national politics. Last year,
for example, large sums were spent by
the two major parties in broadcastlng
campaign speeches.
There is still another controversy
which hasn't anything to do with poll
tics but which will absorb readily the
information on radio sets. It Is with
reference to the sale of space over the
air for commercial purposes. The
claims as to the total number OF sets
In use have hitherto been difficult to
dispute. But with some definite data
to go on an idea will be obtained as to
the size of radio circulation" News
papers and magazines are in the habit
of submitting themselves to periodic
audit to let the purchasers OF space
know their total of readers. The radio
companies couldn't do it except at a
prohibitive cost. In the competition
that has grown up between all the diff
ferent media for reaching the public
the data on radio sets will doubtless
play an important part.
None of these reasons, however, Is
given as the real motive Of the Govern
ment In asking for a radio census. The
official purpose announced Is to help
the Federal Radio Commission de-
termine exactly what territories possess
the large number of sets so that In
allocating wave lengths according to
census population some definite data
may be available on which to base any
further establishments which Congress
or the commission may desire.
Tax Talk Not Taken Seriously.
There has been talk Of tax on re-
ceiving sets but this has never been
seriously advanced as a reason for the
census data
There are plenty of uses for the In
formation and while the Federal Radio
Commission will analyze it for its own
plans the chances are the material Will
also be available to manufacturers and
others who may see commercial value

lation

VETERANS BILL 0. K.
BY HOOVER IS SEEN
Rankin Doubts That Presi-

for Relief.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCIATED PreSS,
Representative Rankin, Democrat,
Mississippi, in a radio address last night
said that he did not believe President
Hoover would veto the Rankin bill de-
signed to extend relief to World War
veterans, which was passed by the
House last Thursday.
Even II he should" Rankin said in
his address over the National Broad
casting Co. Network, I'VE would then
pass 1t over his veto. expect to con-
tinue the battle until we can secure
the necessary relief for those unfor-
Inmates who offered their lives and
sacrificed their health in the defense
of their country during the dark days
Of the World War;"
The Mississippi representative, rank
ing minority member of the committee
which considered the bill, said he be-
lieved the proposed veterans relief plan
would cost about $108,000,000 a year.
He asserted that those who estimated
the bill will cost several hundred mil
lion dollars year are opposed to any
relief for these veterans"
There are $4,000 of these men suf-
fering from tuberculosis and $4,000 SUI
fering from neuropsychiartic troubles,
who are all uncompensated, to say
nothing of those suffering from heart

stitutional diseases" Rankin said.
Invariably these disabilities are
traceable to the World War, the stress
and strain of the service. the hard grind
in the training camps, the nerve-rack-
ing experiences at the front under shell
fire, inhaling poison gas and going over
the top in the face of whitening gun
fire, all left their effects on the nerves
of these men. many thousands of whom
are helpless as a result and not draw
ing penny Of compensation from their
government.
THE bill now goes to the Senate. My
advice to you boys Is to get in touch
with your Senators and urge them to
pass it without delay. Those who are
opposed to the legislation tells us that
the President will veto it. This can
not believe, but even if he should, we
then would PASS 1t over his Veto"
