BY ELLA UPPERCU.


fCopyright, 1892. by the Associated Press)
LONDON, May 13.-One of nfe's
big moments came to me last night
when, while the orchestra was playing
soft waltz, was presented to the King
and Queen by my aunt, Mrs. H. A.
Orme.
The Lord Chamberlain sort of STUN
bled over my name when calling 1t
out and I was already half way through
by curtSey when finally I heard it
called.
But it didn't matter much, because
the music was too loud for anybody
to tell what it was anyway.
What impressed me most was the
cordiality of the King and Queen. They
really made you feel as if you were
welcome and they were glad to meet
you. I know, though, that they
wouldn't remember me if they met me
on the street somewhere tomorrow.
The Prince of Wales came in late,
all dressed up in his kits. I had heard
he was showing his years, but I was
surprised to see that he still looks quite
young.
The really horrible part was wait
ing in the line for so long eItside the
palace, with everybody in the huge
crowd looking at you. We were the
thirteenth car in the line, which was
fortunate, because we were among the
few who we're able to crowd into the
throne room after the presentation. It
was an undulating sea of feathers and
fans and hundreds of white plumes
waving on the womens' heads
I just came over from the United
States Wednesday on the Berengaria
and had to rush awfully to get ready
I suppose it really doesn't matter, but
just the same I'm awfully proud.

LONDON, May 13 CP).-Nine Ameri-
can debutantes, including one who got
on the list at the last minute, met Brit
aims King and Queen last night amid
the regal medieval splendor which is

of the American embassy. and were pre-
sented by Senhora Regis de Oliviera,
wife Of the Brazilian Ambassador, who
served at the request of Ambassador
Andrew w. Mellon.
The ninth was Miss Ella Uppercu of
New York City, who has been studying
music in England. She was taken to
court by her aunt. Mrs. H. A. Orme OF
London.
Like the 13 Americans who were pre-
sented last night. the nine debutantes
had to while away several hours at the
entrance to the palace, playing bridge,
reading and ifldulging In small talk in
their automobiles while thousands of
Londoners rubbed their noses against
the car windows.

'MeHnesf" Thief Exposed

A NEW type Of meanest thief has been dis
covered by the Department of Agriculture
He is a seed salesman who crosses from his home
State into a neighboring State to sell inferior
and low termination seed as seed Of high quail
ity. Farmers, hard pressed for cash, sometimes
fall for the tempting bargains and purchase the
seed offered at very low prices. The result is
a heavy expenditure of time and labor on a
seed which won't grow crop.
The shipment OF miSbranded seed from one
State to another is forbidden under the Federal
law and Federal officials are seeking the CO.
operation of victims of the swndlers in order
that they may be caught and punished.

CoNvictS Fraud Disclosed

a N adventure in preying on human vanity
worked well for a member Of Georgia
chain gang and he was well on his way to
making a fairly large income, but he forgot one
thing. Wounded vanity must have its revenge.
This convict, in for 46 months, grew tired of
lying around the stockade in his off hours with
nothing to occupy his mind, and decided to
take up some line of home work" He hit upon
the idea of a clipping bureau and no sooner
had he thought up the idea than he set to work
Whenever he found a newspaper he went
through it carefully and marked the names and
addresses Of all persons living at a considerable
distance from the town of publication who were
mentioned in the local news.
To these persons he sent post card telling
them that their names had appeared in news
paper and that they would find the article of
interest. If their interest or curiosity was as
strong as 25-cent piece, they were assured
that the clipping would be forwarded immedi-
ately upon receipt of the money
The scheme went on for some time until
some of the victims complained to the Post
Office Department. An investigation disclosed

7ebary Bean Fills Island Food Need

THREE years ago the Department of Agricul-
ture sent one of its plant explorers, Dr.
Charles F. Swingle, to Madagascar to seek
rare rubber plant, Euphorbia intisy. His hunt,
however, failed to yield any of the seed desired,
but while he was the island he was con-
fronted with one of the principal local prob
lems-famine through failure of crops to sur
vive drought conditions
He was Of the opinion that the tepary bean,
grown by the Indians Of Arizona would serve
the purpose Of food crop which would be proof
against the arid conditions. The tepary is much

Photography by some Is considered the Gin
dereila of tie arts. but it has had a powerful
effect upon all the arts in recent years and in
no country has this effect been so great as in
Germany. The camera, when employed as Mrs.

undoubtedly capable Of producing not merely
chance effects but genuine works of art.

DR.. Swingle sent few pounds Of the seed to
the island officials who tried it with great sue

5000 pounds of the seed were purchased this
year in the United States and in addition
gift of 100 pounds of the intisy seed was given
to DR.. Swingle in appreciation of his efforts to
aid the island folk.

Mine Deah Causes Listed

THE spectacular explosion takes place well
l toward the bottom in the list, of causes of
fatalities in the coal mines Of this country. 1t
is the fall of roofs and coal in the mine galleries
which takes the heaviest toll OF the average of
2.125 miners killed each year, 1882 are killed
by the fall of roof material or sidewalks More
than $4,000 other miners are injured seriously
enough each year to lose time from their work
from the same cause.

Farm Exports Drop

ing the past growing season may be found
not only in the current low prices for foodstuffs,
but also in the fact that the exports of farm
products dropped from value of 81 .2l5 900 900

the only two Democratic PreSi-
dents in so years.
What actual part Smith is yet
to play in the campaign, if any,
remains to be determined. Dis
patches from Connecticut yester-
day reported he would go into
that State for two campaign
speeches.
Smith Waits Invitation
When asked if Smith was 60
ms to campaign for the Roose-
feiT-Garner ticket, his friends
have replied that he has not been
asked by Governor Roosevelt to
do so and intimated that he
would not until he was asked by
the nominee himself.
Reply today to a question of
whether Smith has been asked
to get into the campaign, Cover
nor Roosevelt quickly replied:
81 don't know, That will be
taken up later"
For the next ten days Governor
Roosevelt plans to devote himself
mostly to State affairs, with some
preparation for his second trip,
into the South and border States,
which will carry him into Georgia,
Tennessee, K ZEN u cky, Indiana
Missouri, and perhaps a few
