sity Of revising the civil list-the
monies paid to the members OF the
royal family.
His majesty desires that the con-

taken into account" he wrote, so
that, in that event. there should be

has been willing to make in like Cir

Labor party. rose and asked:
Does his majesty give any assur-
ance that he is going to get married."
But the lanky and poker-faced
chancellor made no reply.
The majority of the house was
willing" to take into account "the
contingency" of the Kings marriage.
On May S. less than two months
after the Kings message, 1t voted
to appropriate the money he asked
for the expenses of the royal family.
1t defeated first motion by Camp
bell Stephen, independent Labor
party member from Glasgow, to have
the provisions for possible wife and
children of King Edward deleted from
the bill.
The allowance for the Kings wife,
should he marry, can not be drawn
until he marries.
S3,370,000 for Family.
The money for members Of the
British royal family totals f674.oo0
($3,370,0 ,000) annually.
Queen Mary, under the civil list act
of 1910. has an annuity Of 100000
(s35O, ,OOO).
King Edwards civil list provides
f410000 (S2,050,00O). only part Of
which falls upon the British taxpayer.
1t is divided up into 10000 pounds
(s55000O for the Kings privy purse;
$4,000 pounds (s67O.OOO) for royal
household salaries and retirement al
lowances; 152,800 pounds 4000)
for household expenses, and 13,2O0
pounds 1866, ,00O for aims and bounty.
The whole of the sum for the Kings
privy purse, which includes the 10000
pound provision for wife Of the King,
will not be drawn by the monarch SO
long as his revenues from the Duchy
Of Cornwall remain sufficient.
Revenues Of the duchy are tradi-
tionally administered for the Kings
natural heir, but the estate remained
vested in Edward when he came to
the throne since there is no successor
as Prince of Wales.
Other members of the royal family
were allotted total of 1874, 900 pounds
($970,000) though again the full
charge does not fall upon the taxpayer.
The Duke Of York regularly drew
$4,000 pounds (s125,0oO upon his
marriage, though the sum was cut to
23,S00 pounds I($119,00O) when King
George commanded civil list reductions
effective October !, 1881.
King Edward requested the House
OF Commons to make suitable provi-
sions" for his brother, as heir-pre-
sumptive to the throne, and provision
was made for $4,000 pounds (s250, ,000).
However, the King said he would
bear the cost of the additional pro-
vision for his brother from the income
OF the Duchy of Cornwall, so long as
It's revenues were sufficient
Other items in the 194, 94,00O-pound
total provide for the Kings other
brothers, his sister, and the surviving
children of Queen Victoria and Of
King Edward VII.

ing biologists Of the United States
this week at the University of Vir-
ginia's Mountain Lake biological sta

Blacksburg Saturday.
They will note a destruction OF
chestnut trees which has proceeded
at a rapid pace during the last five

still alive.
The scientists also will search for
the parasite which causes white pine

blight lives on wild gooseberry as an
alternate host, since it cannot be
transmitted directly from tree to tree.

League bowling at the Elks Alleys suspended last night to allow the GUS tomary mid-week dressing and serv- icing of the alleys, and also the regu' lar lodge session, will be resumed to- night with the Grocers League bowl ing the following games Kraft vs Libby, 7:30 pm; Heinz vs s. & w, 3::30 pm; and Del Monte vs Uneedas, 9:3o pm.
 During the first week of match play-ending Tuesday night of their 8-weeks spring tournament schedule, Grocers and Brewers League bowlers have established sev- eral tournament records which may fail to be broken.
 J. Rarragar, of the Wescos in the Cirocers League, leads the masculine field with a game score of 243, and ! three-game total of 620. Mrs. J. T. Petrich, of the Hop Colds in the Brewers League, heads the list of women bowlers with a game score of l99 and total score of 525. The Kraft team in the Grocers League holds first place in the team totals with score of 1525.

If the score is posted the fans might disagree with the judges opinions, but at the end of the bout there would be no change for a judge to change his decisi0aR The points are on the board in plain sight of the crowd. When a fighter wins so many points in a round those points are his, and nothing can take them from him.
 Thrills and Rallies
 Many fans are misled by a last round rally of some fighter who has been badly outpointed in earlier rounds. With the visible point sys- tenn, the fan can see for himself how man might be badly beaten in the last round, yet win the fight on the basis of his point advantage in earlier rounds. #
 Gatto declares his plan also would add thrills to the bouts. For instance, a fighter is trailing by 12 points at the end of the sev- enth round. He picks up four points in the eighth, and four more in the ninth of a 10-round bout. With the last round coming up, the fans, as well as the fighters, know that

SPORT SLANTS

Late arrivals at boxing matches in the near future will be asking, Whats the scorer" if a plan ad- vanced by Frank Gatto, Kansas City matchmaker, gets the recep- tion he believes it merits.
 Gattos idea on the surface ap- pears as sound as the dollar once was, and is so simple it is in the Why didn't-I-think- -that?" class. It makes boxing a match game, the same as football or baseball, and as in those games the boxing fans will know at all times who is winning.
 The plan calls for big board to be placed at a spot in the arena visible to all spectators. The board is divided into squares, square for each round for each fighter.
 At the end of each round the scoring records of the two judges and the referee are collected and given to the operator of the board, who posts the total, and as the fight progresses also posts the cumulative total.
 Just for Example
 For instance, Joe Louis is fight ing Max Schmeling. One judge gives the first round to Louis, 6 to 4. The other judge makes it to 5, and the referee also calls it even. The figures on the board would read Is points for Louis and IA points for Schmeling. The pro cedure in the second round, if any, and succeeding rounds is the same, only in addition to the round score the totals for the preceding rounds also are posted.
 In this manner the fans may follow the progress of the fight the same as they would a football or baseball game. A football game in which the fans didn't know the score would lose much of it's inter- est, Cato points out, and where would be the thrill of a ninth in- ming rally in baseball if the fans didn't know whether the rallying team was one run behind or % runs in front?
 If fight is close at all, the fans have no way of knowing who is winning in the estimation ol
