WALES BREWS
REAL ALE

LONDON, GN.SO.- England's S
popular Prince of Wales has be-
come a brewer, not just a COM
mon or ordinary brewer, but a
good brewer. He has brewed
some of the finest and most de-
licious beer ever produced in
England.
With a clear amber color and a
kick like white mule, this royal
beer, known as Princes Ale, "
was made by the Prince of Wales
when he visited Messrs. Charring-
tons Brewery, in the east end Of
London, recently.
ClaSsed as one of the strongest
beers ever brewed, it already has
the SmoOthneSS characteristic OF
high-claSS English ales.
This royal beer is not for sale.
1t will be matured for at least
another two years, and then will
only be available for privileged
consumers.
So high is its gravity that it is
estimated that the duty will
amount to SOS or $40 a barrel.

The old fellow believed i'm
plicitly that his snake was a

he retained this emisSary from
a strange heaven. as he tried to
explain to me, no bad fortune
could befall him.
About noon of the day we
were due to leave there was
much excitement in the village
when it became known that the
dato'S python had escaped. One
of the old mans carabaoS had
been browsing in an enclosure
adjoining the big cage where
the python was kept. The
animal had got its huge horns
caught in the bamboo uprights
of the cage, and, in yanking
himself loose. had left an open
ing large enough to permit the
reptile to glide out.

We might have been tugging
away at 80 many yards of
heavy ships rope for all the
response there was. AS soon as
we got a good look at the
python it was obvious to all of
us, from the great bulge it
showed, that it had just eaten.
That, Of course, accounted for
its SluggiShness. 1t would be
nine days before this creature
would digest its meal and be
active again.
Interested to know what the
snake had devoured, I ran my
hands over the bulge. I could
feel a round knobby something
that suggested a human head!
Working both hands feveriShly
a little below this point, I
found myself tracing the out
line Of human shoulders! There
was no longer any doubt in
my mind. There was a human
body inside that reptile-prob-
ably that Of a child.

LOREE VIEWS RAIL
DECREE WITH CALM
Beaten on Fifth System Plan,
but Road Is Free and
Has Ample Cash.
By the Associated Press.

Ly the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 25.-The shaggy,
bearded Leonor F. Loree, presioenL of
the Delaware & Hudson Co. and a
''throw-back' from the pioneering days
of American railroading, when rugged
individualism was the rule, is reported
to be enjoying quiet vacation.
The picturesque rail executive, who
has caused frequent turmoil in the
Eastern transportation field, Is pictured
by some of his associates as ruminat-
ing pholosophically over the recent In
terstate Commerce Commission decision
on Eastern railroad consolidation while
he enjoys the quiet of his home, near
the Orange Mountains of New Jerse.
Apparently beaten at every turn in
his long ambition to form fifth
his licking philoSophically.
Road Has Ample Cash.
Loree and his road are amply sup
piled with cash, and the Delaware &
Hudson remains as independent as it
was before the ruling was made. The
commission made an exception in its
case and permitted it to continue on
its own.
One reason why Delaware & Hudson
is not in line waiting for loans from
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton, it was recalled by associates OF
Loree, lies in the trading acumen OF
its president.
In 1927, sensing that Pennsylvania
wanted control of Leigh Valley and the
Wabash, Loree started accumulating
common and preferred "a" shares of
the wabash and a sizable chunk of the
capital stock of the Lehigh Valley.

In the Spring Of 1928 he had picked

giving the Delaware & Hudson a profit
Of about S23 600 900.
The s63,000,000 sum was invested,
and while the value of the securities
purchased has shrunk about 80 per
cent, or from $56,000, 900 to $39, 100000
at the end of 1881, the paper loss has
been slight, compared with the drop in
values represented by the Lehigh VAL
ley and Wabash certificates sold to the
Pennsylvania. The Wabash has since
gone into receivership, and Pennsyl-
vania's holdings of the preferred "A"
and common shares of that road, cost
ing originally about $63,000,000, have
shrunk in value to something under
100000, based on current market
prices of $1.50 for the preferred and
$l.25 for the common shares.

IN WORLDS TRADE
Holds Place During 1891 as
First in Exports Despite
Value Decline.

Despite the dollar-and-cen falling
off in exports and imports, the United
States is retaining its leadership in
world trade. the Commerce Department
announced today.
In a statement prepared by Miss
Grace Witherow Of the departments
Division of Economic Research. it was
said that this country held its place in
1891 as a leader of exports and was
second only to Great Britain as an i'm
porting country.
The United Kingdom fer many years
has led as importer of raw materials.
Cotton and Fruits Rise.
Shipments of raw cotton and fruits
we're larger than in 1890 Radios and
electric refrigerators established new
quantity sales records abroad But
there were further sharp reductions in
exports Of automobiles. copper. heavy
iron and steel products and other
manufactured articles.
THE marked decline in dollar values
of the United States foreign trade dur
ing 1881 was attributable in large part
to sharp declines in prices which af-
fected all classes OF cOmmOQlCleS, Sald
Miss Witherow. THE physical volume
of exports showed a decline of 20 per
cent, as compared with 1880, while i'm
ports were only 10 per cent smaller.

"Inasmuch as domestic industrial
production fell off l6 per cent and
freight carloadings dropped 10 per cent,
the shrinkage in foreign trade was
about as great as the decline in domes-
tic business, the decrease in exports
