EUROPE'S ROYAL RELATIONSHIPS
Maze Euher TANGLED bv Match Betzcpeu GEORGE and Marina

1852, when the Greeks decided to
have another king. their choice
fell upon Prince William. a son OF
the Danish king and brother Of
Queen Alexandra, who was grand
mother OF Prince George OF Eng
land.
DRINCE WILLIAM chose as his
Il title George 1, king of the
Hellenes. He married the Grand
Duchess Olga of Russia. He was
succeeded on the throne by his
son, King Constantine, who mar
ried Dorothea. sister of the ex-
Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany.
He was succeeded to the throne
by the present exiled King George
II, whose wife is Princess Eliza
beth, daughter Of the late King
Ferdinand and Queen Marie of
Rumania.
King Constantine had younger
brother. the present Prince Mic
olas of Greece. He married the
Grand Duchess Helene, daughter
of the Grand Duke Vladimir of
Russia, cousin of the late car.
They have three daughters.
One of them, Princess Olga,
married Prince Paul, a cousin OF
King Alexander of Yugoslavia.
Another of their daughters is this
Princess Marina, who is to marry
into the English royal family.
7 OVAL Britons, enthusiastic
Il about this royal match, hope
that it will break the hoodoo that
has preyed on the Greek royal
family since its first member
assembled the throne at Athens.
An evil fate has followed them,
leaving in its wake heartaches,
disappointments, semi-p overly,
mutiny, aSsaSsinations, exile, and
revolutions.
Despite the 1uckless star which
seems to hover over the princess
family, however, a vociferous well
come was given Marina when she
arrived in Scotland for .presenta-
ton to the British royal family.
Cheering throngs greeted her and
Queen Mary kissed her affection
ately on her arrival at Balmoral
castle.
And Prince George, meeting his
fiancee after a four-day separa-
ton, kissed her in Victoria station,
as cheers of the admiring throng
which looked on rang to the roof.

Professor Hugh S. Taylor Of Princeton university
has calculated that would 81 900 to prepare

This $1,000, OOO-an-ounce water is the heaviest
possible water. Its existence became known as re-
suit Of the latest discovery Of Lord Rutherford the
famous physicist of the University Of Cambridge,
the discovery Of triple-weght hydrogen.
Water as every school boy knows, is composed
of hydrogen and oxygen. Each moecule Of water
consists Of two atoms Of hydrogen and one OF ozy-
gen.
Until 1881 every one thought that told the whole
story. Then Professor Harold G. Urey OF Columbia
university discovered the existence OF double-weght
hydrogen.
DR. WAsHBURNs view proved correct and ne
II found a concentration of heavy water in the
residue of water left in the electroyss apparatus
BY ingenious methods, ne was able to increase this
concentration to very large degree
The process. however is still cumbersome and
difficult At Princeton university, for example thir-
teen tons Of residue from commercial electroIytlc
plants was obtained. These thirteen tons repre-
sened the residue from the eectroysis OF fifty tons
of water. From these thirteen tons, the Princeton
scientists obtained one pound OF the purest heavy
water.
But the work Of Professor Urey and his associates
and that Of Washburn and his associates and that
of Washburn and his successors, does not tell the
whole story of heavy water Early in 1884 LORD Ruth
erford announced the existence Of triple weight
hydrogen.
DROFESsOR TAYLOR reports that experiments
in the Prick chemical laboratory at Princeton
university showed that approximately one out OF
every 10000 molecules of heavy water consisted Of
the heaviest possible water.
Undoubtedly, it will not be long before Princeton
OF some other laboratory undertakes the task OF
preparing at least few drops Of this newly discoy-
cred water.
But the story does not even stop here. There are.
matter of fact, three kinds OF oxygen atoms, OF
atomic weights, respectively, l6. II and 10.

date 20 per cent dividend" to all
depoSitors.
But this cheering proposition
has a catch in it-for the larger
depOsitors.
While nominally all depositors
would be entitled to the 20 per
cent payoff, actually, under deft
reservation included by Jesse, the
larger depositors would be paid
only 10 per cent. The remain
ing 10 per cent would be used to
pay off IN FULL the many thou
sands of depositors with accounts
of $500 or less.
In other words, Jones, in effect,
is saying:
1.-THE government will put up
the SS5,OOO,OOO necessary for a
20 per cent pay off. But it will
do so only if you large depOs-
itOrs agree in advance to allow
10 per cent of your share to be
paid out in full to all the little
fellows"
The large depositors of the two
institutions now are being pri-
vately canvasSed on the propo-
sition.
But the inside whisper is that
some of the big corporations, with
large accounts tied in the Detroit
bank, are baking. They contend
that the frozen money belongs to
their stockholders and that with
out their express approval they
must oppose Jesse Jones wizardry.

SAN JOSE, Cal, Feb. 2-More
than 1000 persons gathered at st.

lynching, to greet the anti-lynching
conference held here last week. The
audience enthusiastically endorsed
the decision of the conference to
wage the broadest fight against
lynching and other forms of terror
spreading throughout the country. A
resolution was adopted condemning
Gov. Rolfe for his aid to the lynch
gangs and defense of lynching.
The meeting was addressed by
Langston Hughes, noted Negro poet
