Hotel when suddenly he turned to
a stout lady near him and de-
manded: What day is this?"
Catching her breath, the lady
replied, This is Wednesday,"
Huey pondered. What day will
tomorrow be?"
"Why-tomorrow will be Thurs
day."
With earnestness. Huey repeat
ed the word, Thursday: took an
envelope from his pocket, wrote
the word down.
Broadmoor residents are still
wondering whether Huey was alb

a Suffragette attended the Derby,
threw herself beneath the feet
of the kings horse and was killed.
This battle came to an end when
war was declared. The militants
threw themselves into war work.
So nobly did they labor that by
universal consent in 1918 a bill
was passed giving women over 30
and having certain property quail
fications the vote. Ten years later
all restrictions were removed and
all women 81 and over got the
vote. King Georges reign was,
therefore, marked with a situa-
ton in which there we're more
women than men voters.
No English sovereign in the last
300 years has ever been permitted
to reign without having Ireland
on his mind. In King Georges
younger years he often visited
Ireland and had always been we'll
received. On July 8, 1910, he once
more sailed for Ireland, accompa-
MED by the queen, the Prince of
Wales and Princess Mary. Ora
ciously received in Dublin, the
sovereign cleverly took the oppor-
tunity to show that he was above
religious quarrels and considered
all the Irish people as part of the
brotherhood of the Empire.
DUT the cheering had hardly
- died before an ugly situation
arose. In May, 1914, a home rule
bill for Ireland had been passed
and was ready for the royal sig
nature. The bill proposed to set
up a single Irish parliament for
all Ireland, with full authority
over everything except the army,
navy and foreign affairs. The
bill meant the inclusion of Ulster,
which, ultra-loya1lst and largely
Protestant, violently objected to
being part of the new Irish do
minion.
Ulstermen began enrolling in
military bodies and arms were
smuggled into the country. 1t
looked as if the stage were all set
for a civil war. To avert this
Premier Asquith introduced an
amendment to the home rule bill
by which the six main Ulster
counties should temporarily, at
least, be exempted from its pro-
visions. Even this did not cool
passions that had been excited on
both sides.

try could get going.
Now it is pretty generally be-
lieYed that industry is not going
to get going in sufficient degree
to absorb the great army of work
less-even in the more distant fu-
ture. Administration master
minds are not saying much about
this, but recent surveys show that
labor-saving developments have
been such that even with re-
turn of the 1928 boom there would
be around five to six million idle.
With a permanent relief pro-
gram ahead. it was figured that
the least demoralizing type Of re-
lief was work-relef.
Hence the revival of CWA.
DRESENT work-relief plans,
l. however. are to be more
thorough and carefully planned
than the CWA. The latter was
hurriedly thrown together organ
ization aimed chiefly at carrying
the nation through the winter.
Part of the new four billion
dollar expenditure will. of course,
go to the old type of PWA prof.
ects. There is TO be an unem-
ployment census, the country is TO
be divided into regions. and funds
will be rationed TO areas where
there is greatest need.
The new CWA will be called by
a new name" Small Works" But
its object is just the sanc-to pro-
vide work-relief quickly to the
largest number of unemployed.
And that the President does not
intend TO take any chances with
this phase of his plans is indi-
Gated by the fact that dynamic
Harry Hopkins. who pushed
through CWA with such speed. is
the man in charge of this pro-
gram.

all her cousins, George had been
the favorite playmate and the ma
ton rejoiced when their engage
ment was announced on May 6,
1893. The wedding took place in
the Chapel Royal July 6. The
newly married pair we're given
quarters in st. James Palace and
settled down sedately. In the
course of time. they had six chill
dren, one girl, Princess Mary, and
five boys, the youngest of whom,
Prince John, only lived until he
was IA.
THE Dukes father wanted the
l. future king to see the empire
for himself. Accordingly, the Duke
and Duchess visited Ireland in
1899. But now bigger trip was
planned. Parliament had passed
a bill creating the Commonwealth
of Australia and there was a great
demand that the duke should
open the Commonwealth Parlia-
ment. Queen Victoria had con-
sented. In the meantime, she died
on Jan. %, 1901, and her son
mounted the throne as King Ed
ward VII.
The king agreed that his son
should make the trip as already
planned. So in March the young
welded pair boarded the mer-
chant ship Ophir, turned for the
occasion into a royal yacht, and
started on their long cruise which
took them to Gibraltar, Port Said,
Alden, Ceylon, Singapore and all
over the Australian continent.
They were warmly received every
where.
From Australia they sailed to
New Zealand, Tasmania, South
Africa, still in the dying throes of
the Boer war, and then made for
Quebec, from whence they went
on a complete tour of Canada.
The future King George of Eng
land was formally made Prince of
Wales shortly after this trip. Now
his intensive training for the king
ship began. King Edward sent
him on trips to Berlin and Paris,
and, in 1905, to another great
section of the empire-India.
The England to which the
prince returned was threatened
by a great political storm. 1t was
a problem which caused the king
much anxiety and which caused
his heir to say to a friend that
he was glad he did not have to
handle it.

THE circumstances were these:
Il Lloyd George, then chancel-
lor of the eXcnequer, had intro
duced what was deemed for the
time a revolutionary budget. 1t
sought to shift a greater burden
of taxation on the rich. 1t was
defeated in the House of Lords.
Now the government had no in
tention of tamely submitting to
Tory house which was hereditary
in it's membership. The govern
ment therefore proposed to shear
the lords of their power. They
should have no right to amend
money bill and no right to veto
any House of Commons bill, if
passed in three successive sessions.
Suddenly there came a tragic
interregnum. King Edward be-
came i'll from q neglected cold and
died May 6, 1910.
The heir to the throne was now
King George in his own right. His
troubles had now begun. Every
body could see that in this parlia-
entary struggle the king would
perforce be brought into it. He
grasped the nettle with a firm
hand. He insisted that the rival
leaders should meet in confer
ence and try to settle their diff
erences amicably. TWenty-one
abortive meetings were held.
Neither side would bulge an inch.
There was a sort of truce while
the royal pair had their corona
ton ceremonies on June %, 1911,
and then the political battle was
renewed.
Finally the more reasonable
men among the peers decided to
accede to the inevitable demo-
cratic trend. The government
measure was passed by a majority
of II.

TN most civilized countries number of deaths of
babies in the first year of life has been reduced
and it seems likely that continued advancement of
medical science will still further lower this incidence
At the same time however there is a steadily de-
creasng birth rate and as yet there is sign that
this is going to slow up In fact the young per-
sons who passed through childhood during the lean
years of the World War come to the manageable
the number of births is likely still further to be
lowered.
With rapidly declining birth rate. control of in
FAINT mortality becomes of even greater significance.
r OWEST infant mortality rates of the world are
l. those of Australia and New Zealand where spe-
cial efforts have been made in the past and con-
sistently maintained TO control this factor. Rates
for the United States compare very favorably with
those OF other countries of similar size such as Great
Britain and Germany.
Among other factors determined by recent in
vestigaton is the fact that the male infant dies
easily than the female This has always been So al
though adequate explanation has been
established.
Only answer given by scientists is the statement
that nature has endowed the female organism with
greater vitality than the male because it is meant
bring forth the next generation. However that is
a statement of opinion and not established fact.
TT has also been proved that infant mortality in
Il creases when the age Of the mother passes GER

born to mothers eli Long IN years are not as likely
to survive tho to mothers of a younger
period, provided they are not too young.

than those born legitimately and figures show that
their mortality during the first "a hours of life far

Factors responsible for deaths of infants during

Modern infant welfare work and sanitary improve

Advancement of medical science ard spread Of

T ONDON, May 2.-On the
II twenty-hfth anniversary of
his reign, King George V finds
himself acclaimed the hero Of
matte al drama that paralleled
his 70-year span of life. Exciting
scenes followed with breath-tak-
ing rapidity before reaching the
woodworking climax in which he
SO distinguished himself
Yet there was little in his early
life to forecast the stellar role he
was TO play. AS boy he had no
thoughts of being king He was
a second son of the royal house,
a generation removed from the
throne with remote prospect of
gaining accession.
Fate nevertheless elevated him
to the throne, with its heritage of
bitter factional battles, an empire
crushing war, and the worlds
most tragic disaster.
Out of the adversities that be-
set his empire he has emerged
stronger than ever. If he has an
enemy within the kingdom, that
enemy has not made himself vo-
cal. King Georges story is the
empires story, too.
He was born at Marlborough
House in London, June 3, 1865,
the second son of King Edward
VII and Queen Alexandra, the
lovely Danish princess.
King Edward planned for his
two boys, the Duke of Clarence,
heir to the throne, and Prince
George a healthy, happy child
hood. When they were II, he de-
cided'it was time for them to have
companions. Accordingly, he en-
tered them both as cadets on the
training ship Brittania at Dart
mouth. The boys had to perform
their various duties like every
body else.
NTHEN Prince George was IA,
w he and his brother, as
midshipmen on the Bacchante,
took cruises which led them
around the world.
Then came a separation for the
brothers. The Duke of Clarence
went to Cambridge and afterward
into the army. Prince George
chose to stick to the navy. Being
a younger son, with no seeming
prospect of the throne he wanted
to make a career for" himself in
England's senior service. In 1882
he was made sub-lieutenant and
appointed to the Canada. which
had its station in North American
and West Indian waters. Return
ing home for time, he was grad
ua.ed from the Royal Naval Col
lege at Greenwich. In 1885 he be-
came lieutenant and joined the
ThunGerer in the Mediterranean
squadron. After service in various
other ships, he joined the English
Channel squadron and finally had
command of a torpedo boat.
All seemed set fair for him to
be sailor prince for the balance
of his life. But the Duke of Clar-
ence became i'll with influenza and
died on Jan. IA, 1892. This made
Prince George direct heir to the
throne. His naval career was
ended. Queen Victoria created
him Duke of York, Earl of Inver-
ness and Baron Killarney.
The Duke not only fell heir to
the throne, but won for himself
Princess Mary of Tex. who had
been affianced to his brother. Of
