KAISER OBSERVES
HIS BIRTHDAY IN
SIMPLE FASHION

DOORN, Holland, Jan. q. (U.H-
Wilhelm Hohenzollern, who abdi-
Gated his title of Kaiser when he
left Germany in 1918, observed his
32nd birthday in simple fashion to-
day at Doom House.
In his 73d year, the former Kaiser
may be forced to restrict his favo-
rite activity-wood chopping, which
he says has greatly aided him in
maintaining his good health.
Recently he has been unusually
active in swinging his axe in the
forest surrounding Doom House,
clearing out the parks to extend his
special rose garden.
The minister of interior and the
minister of finance. however, de-
clare the estate of Doom House to
be national preserve. and the for
n.er Kaiser will no longer be per-
mitted to cut down trees without
the permission of the director OF
state forests.
The health of the once imperial
ruler was good after a dozen years
in exile. His schedule provided for
rising early as usual, church serv-
ice, a family dinner and the recep-
ton of the delegations which in
variably visit him on festive occas-
sions. But the touch of glamour
which has surrounded previous
birthday celebrations. especially the
long held hope that Wilhelm II
might eventually return to his Ger
man throne. has vanished.
Germany is not interested In the
former Kaiser. A few delegations
have been sent to Doom by the
royalist organizations; many mes
sages of congratulation have ar
rived from ex-officers, monarchists
and aristocrats; the conservative
nationalist press of Germany pub
lished laudatory birthday articles,
but the nation as a whole has
showed no concern about the ex-
monarch. Wilhelm's name is men,
toned far more frequently in the
American press than in the German
CT Dutch newspapers.

SUIT To ENJ0IN'BIGGER HEALTH
LODGE FILED BUDGET URGED

"The public health budget
for the city of Washington
needs to be more than doubled
to provide for the type Of
public health work which will
compare with that of the lead
ing cities in the United States,
and the type of program
which the citizens deserve"
This is one of the foremost
conclusions contained in the sum-
mary of the health and hospital
survey recently completed by the
Committee on Interpretation Of
the Health Committee of the
Council Of Social
Agencies. The survey was made
by the American Public Health
Association.
Examination of the food and
milk control in the District and
the sanitation system revealed
that these two phases of health
work were being carried out to a
highly satisfactory degree. EX-
pansion of the work in regard
to laboratory service, popular
health instruction and care of
special programs would require
the extension of the budget, the
report points out.

DU BARRY CHAIR
SHOWN HERE

A handsomely carved sedan
chair, believed to have been used
by the original "It" girl, Countess
du Barry. has been received at
the National Museum for eXhibi-
ton.
The chair. purchased by Paul
G.. CARRIER, art collector, 1910
Connecticut Ave-, is considered
one of the finest pieces of its
kind and the only one of the
King Louis XVIII period at the
museum.
Kings Crest on Back
A crest on the back of the chair
indicates it was owned by Louis
XIV of France. Paul E. CARRIER,
son of the owner, and an official
of Smithsonian Institution, is to
call in experts to verify the belief.
The chair is in a remarkable
state of preservation. It's hand
painted figures deal with mythol-
ogy and are attributed to the mas
ter, Watteau. Even the painted
windows are intact and the wood
carvings are unmarried. 1t is
lined with silk plush, but this is
not believed original.
To Become Phone Booth
It is commonly known that
du Barry, mistress of King Louis
18th, was carried to and from
the palace in a chair sedan and
authorities say there is reason
to believe the sedan was owned by
King Louis and assigned TO his
mistress.
When Mr.. CARRIER purchased
the sedan in New York for 81 500,
he intended to use it for a tele-
phone booth in his studio but
after realizing its historical i'm
portance, consented to lend it to
the museum.
