Now he is coming home. His

He can no longer pay the rent

that of the land of his adopt

children makes it imperative for
his return to America.
He is once more seen in the
bailiwicks of his youth. But no
sooner has he returned to the

Georges Gift
Bv Frank SuLLiUan

Thousands of men in Great
Britain bearing the name George
contributed to a fund to buy a
wedding gift for the Duke of
Kent, formerly Prince George.
It was nice tribute to a likable
young man, and it raises some
interesting questions.
There are about 45,000,00O
people in the British Isles and
though I have not the exact fig
ures with me at the moment, it
is safe to say that about $780,
900 of them are Georges. If
each George gave thruppence
ha'penny to the fund, the Duke
ought to get something pretty
handsome in the way of a we'd
ding present, and furthermore,
a present it would Oe very prof
liable for the Duchess to ex-
change, at the present rate.
If the Duke of Kent were
named Barnabas, for instance,
he probably would not get more
than fairly good set of china,
because Barnabas is none too
common a name, but if he were
in the fix the King of Siam is
in, with a name like Prajadhi-
pok, I doubt if he would get
more than a sateen-covered coat
hanger, if that.
But suppose the dukes name
were Angus! Think what a fix
he would be in then. AS luck
has it, the wedding gift from
the Georges will not be affected
materially by the Scotch angle.
There are comparatively few
Scots named George; the figure
being, 1 believe, about $4,000.
OF this number, $4,000 changed
their names to Charley as soon
as they heard that everybody in
the United Kingdom named
George was to be asked to con-
tribute thruppence .h'penny to
the wedding present for the
duke.
The other $4,000 live in the
remotest sections of the High
lands and have not heard about
the subscription yet, but think

Opening in September, the Ind1-
ana Law School will complete its
fortieth year of preparing young
men for the legal profession.
The school was organized in 1894
for the purpose of giving law STU
dents an opportunity to acquire a
more thorough knowledge of the
law than had been afforded them
heretofore by such an institution.
In the schools 1933-1934 catalog
are set forth briefly the aims of the
institution, as follow:
"A successful law school will give
to it's students a comprehensive and
thorough knowledge of legal prin-
ciples, coupled with a thorough
acquaintance with the details of
professional work.
This school insists upon knoWl-
edge of the growth and expansion
of our system of law. 1t offers Spe-
cial preparation in the elementary
principles of both substantive and

ing frequent tests, both oral and

Up Due to Congestion in

With millions of acres of grazing
land in the middle west devastated
by The drought, federal officials an
nounced today that they would
speed up the cattle slaughterlng
program at the local stockyards.
More than 10000 cattle were
slaughtered at the Indianapolis
Stockyards in July as a relief meas
ure to aid farmers in drought
stricken areas.
Although the program was Sched-
uled to terminate at the end Of July,
the ravaging effects of the recent
heat wave has forced the govern
ment to increase the butchering
program between fifty and 100 cattle
a day locally, DR.. c. L. Elliott, head
of the United States animal huS-
bandry division here. said.
The meat from the butchered cat
tie will be canned, after government
inspection, and distributed to relief
organizations.
Dr. Elliott said that recent sur
veys show that there is not enough
food and grazing pastures left in
the middle west to feed the cattle.
The government feels that it is
better to obtain the meat for poor
relief rather than to have the cattle
starve to death" the federal official
added.
Most of the cattle are shipped
here from the devastated areas of
the Dakotas and Wisconsin, he said.
Due to the congested conditions
of the stockyardS at Chicago, st.
Louis and Kansas City, the duties at
the local yards have increased.
The recent stockyard strike at
Chicago necessitated local officials
working day and night in order to
take over part of the Chicago

Prior to coming to Indianapolis,

they sold their business. From that
time to the starting of their new

The Criteria station is outstanding

accurately measure the smallest
