Exclusive ROYAL SQUADRON.

Sir Thomas Upton has been an en-
thusiastic yachtsman ever since he could
afford to indulge in this pastime and
80 years ago his name was proposed
for membership in the Royal Squadron,
but because of his lowly origin and the
fact that he was Sin trade" his name
was repeatedly rejected, notwithstanding
the fact that King Edward tried to
bring his influence to bear, but now the
members have taken the stand that they
are honoring themselves by making
member of one who has done more for
the sport Of sailing than any one else
in the country. Sir Thomas was born
in lowly tenement of very poor parents
in Glasgow. and at the age Of 10 he was
compelled to go to work at job which
paid less than 81 per week, in grocery
store and finally started in this bust
ness for hims.lf in small way. The
business grew and was the foundation
OF the great tea enterprise which is now
headed by Sir Thomas He was created
baronet by King Edward in 1902

policymaker; communication took SO
long that he had much leeway. And
Talleyrand, who was patriotic French
man, though he betrayed every political
party II France for two decades, was
able to use this leeway to save his
country.
do you think" Mr.. Myers was asked,
with Louis by telephone their relation
ship would have been. any different?"
Mr.. Myers admitted that Talleyrands
superiority would have made him an
important figure even today. He was
glad the question was raised, he said
because in diplomacy situations and
personalities change situations, and no
rule is absolute.
1t is impossible to imagine Mr.. Mellon
on the telephone, for instance, as a
mere rubber stamp of Mr.. Hoover's
ideas. 1t is probable that the advice
received over the wire from 1.-The great
est Secretary of the Treasury since
Alexander Hamiltcn" receives some
consideration. Change can be recorded
only in tendencies and drifts.
Early Carrier Pigeons.
There have been good communica-
lions, at least at intervals, since the
beginning of time There is good reason
to believe that carrier pigeons were first
used in the time of Abraham. The
Spartans had way of winding a diplo-
matte dispatch around a stick obliquely
and writing across the folds, so that no
one could read it unless he had stick
of the same size and knew how to wind
it in exactly the same way.
The Greeks used young runners, many
OF whom died of exhaustion in deliver
ing messages. The NEST famous of
these. OF course was Pheidippides, who
fell dead after delivering news CT the
victory at Marathon. The system of
Roman post road was developed to
maintain communications of a diplo-
matte system which developed into an
empire.
In modern times foreign Offices and
diplomatic stats developed slowly. The
original foreign ministers were little
more than private secretaries of the
King. intrusted with keeping track Of
foreign affairs. AS late as the Congress
of Westphalia, which ended the Thirty
Years War in Germany in 1913, inter-
national negotiations were almost en-
tirely lacking in precedent and proce-
dure
The conference was called in 1912. 1t
took three years to get the delegates to-
gether. And it to-k three more years
to decide questions of precedent. A
procession was delayed a whole day to
determine whether the French or the
Spanish Ambassador should march first
in the parade.

Continuing their fight against the

The letter. signed by Robert F. Blair,

hope to obtain by the proposed rates,
despite the fact that these commodi-

Medical Examination of All Work

of Weakened Laborers.

On account of the terrific desert heat.
mcdlcal examinations have been ordered
Tor all employees working on the Hoo
Ver Dam in Black Canyon.
One man has died of heat prostra-

ers have been dismissed on doctors or
ders. Approximately LOO men are on
the pay rol! of Six Companies, Inc,
builders OF the dam. and the turn
over was reported to be considerable"
Aside from possible direct serious eff
fects on the man, the heat is believed
to make possible an unduly high acct
dent rate, through lowering the eff
cheney of men not accustomed to the
Arizona Nevada climate. Much of the
dam labor has been recruited from a
large camp Of unemployed who estab-
lished themselves on the river bank
when first the promise OF work lured
them West. Many of these people.
