naval school at Dartmouth, where
he spent three more years.
Il
LIS first great public function
Il Il came on July Is, 1911, when
he went down to Carnarvon Castle
in Wales and was formally pro-
claimed Prince of Wales.
He was the first of 10 Princes
of Wales to be formally invested
in Wales itself. He had to get up
little speech in Welsh and, al
though pale and rather nervous,
he acquitted himself we'll.
Having passed his examinations
at Osborne and Dartmouth, he
was gazetted to the warship
Hindustan as midshipman-an
humble middle" He had to take

him and the ordinary midship-
men was that he was given inten-
sive training, it being decreed that
his stay in the navy should be
short, as there were other phases
of his education to be taken up.
So in few months time Edward
Albert was put through it-gun-
merry, seamanship, administration,
navigation.
When he left the navy, he spent
a brief interval in France as a
guest in the home of the Marquis
de Breteuil, one of the great
ariStocratS of France.
The idea was to allow the Prince
to perfect his speaking French.
to learn something of the social
manners and customs of Englands
great neighbor and to acquire a
working knowledge of French
literature and art.
In 1912, being 10, he was Off
cially of age and then came the
next great phase in his education.
TN 1918 he was sent to Oxford
l. University. He entered Mag
dalen College as a simple fresh
man and as near as might be led
the life of any other oxford
undergraduate.
He had a simple set of rooms
like any other well-to-do freshly.
There were no sentries or secret
service men lowering about,
watching and guarding his move
ments. He dressed just like his
fellow students in tweed coat, gray
flannel baggy trousers and COM
moner's gown.
For the entertainment of his
friends, he kept just what other
students did in their cupboard
wine, cheese and biscuits. He took
lectures like the other students.
And again like most of them, he
joined the Oxford University Off
GERS Training Corps as high pri-
vate. The stunt was to do duty
as private, but to learn the du-
ties of an officer, so that in case
of war the students would be
qualified to take on an officers
job.
TINE Prince took his weekly
i drills and rifle parades seri-
ously. When the o. T. c. went to
its annual training camp, he slept
in an ordinary army tent with five
other students.
Like anybody else, he hustled
out at reveille, washed in a tin
basin, and rushed into his uniform
SO as to fall into line for inspec-
ton.
BY this time he was a corporal.
This gave him some privileges. He
did not have to rustic for his own
tea and rations, but he had to get
up early in the morning just the
same and, as corporal, had to
take charge of parties that did
carry the tea and rations.
His happy, time at the univer-
sity was interrupted by the break
ing out of the great war. There
could be no more thought of his
staying there as a student.
NEXT-The Prince in the World
War.

Another point of interest is the League of Nations
in Geneva, Switzerland, where John D. Rockefeller
Jr gave two million dollars for library and then
President Roosevelt abandoned the gold standard
ana they finished the library but didn't have enough
money left to buy any books.
The League declared sanctions against Italy and
almost caused war, so when 1 went down to Italy
on my European tour to see the points of interest
l saw thousands of Italian war mothers whose dear
ones were killed in the for freedom and liberty
too. And these mothers all dressed in black and
they cheered for Mussolini and made the other war

stories on the Prince of Wales, Britain's
new King, written by Milton Bronner
BY MILTON BRONNER
NEA Service Writer
T ONDON, Jan. 22.-The
new King was born June
%, 1894, in the compare
lively simple house in Rich
mond known as White
Lodge.
His father and mother at
that time were not even
Prince and Princess of
Wales. Queen Victoria was
still on the throne. Her
eldest son, the future King
Edward VII, a mature and
aging man, was Prince of
Wales; his only surviving
son, who later became King
George V, then 81, was then
the Duke of York.
The latters monetary allow
ances were comparatively small
and he and his wife, the future
Queen Mary, lived in very simple
and very quiet fashion
The mother of the little Ed
ward at that time looked upon
herself more in the light of wife
and mother than of future Prin-
cess of Wales and future Queen.
BY the same token, she looked
upon her first-born in the light
of little boy rather than of future
Prince of Wales and King of Eng
land. She concentrated all her
efforts upon giving him happy
childhood, as other mothers do.
Edward had an abundance of
playthings, including little push
cart that boosted two wooden
horses. AS his little brothers and
sister came along, he had plenty
of playmates. He had a private
tutor and at an early age began
to learn French and German.
THEN his future life began to
l. be mapped out. England is
seafaring nation and England's
Surest defense had always been
her navy. So it was decided the
eldest boy should follow in the
footsteps of his father and be
trained for the sea.
Most future officers in the navy
are sent to the Royal Naval Col
lege at Osborne when they are
very young boys. So it was that
Edward Albert, then only 10, a
slight, small, blue-eyed, rosy
checked, fair-haired youngster
was shipped off to that famous
school.
The lads who go there are not
respecters of persons. Titles do
not abash them. They give titles
of their own.
So, on account of his smallness
and slimness, the future King of
England was promptly dubbed by
a name that stuck to him during
his entire two years stay at Os-
borne.
Always and to all the boys he
-. 1F1l-
He was subjected to exactly the
same discipline as the rest of the
pupils. When it came to study
ing the practical forms of naval
engineering, he had to get down
to the dirt and grease of it like
the rest of them and learn what
machinery was, how it was put
together and how it functioned.
From there he went to the other

bouncing some of the toughest
racketeers in the country-those
in the poultry business. The job
is more nearly one for G-Men.
When Congress gave them the
job of regulating the poultry
markets of the big cities, it
sounded simple. The plan was to
issue licenses to all commission
men, dealers, truckers, and feed
merchants in the regulated cities.
Licenses were to be withheld
from any who could not show
sound ledgers, or had served pris-
on terms within the past two
years. Trouble developed when a
large number of ex-convicts were
discovered operating in New
York's famous Washington Street
Market. Other poultrymen had
managed to go in and out of
bankruptcy very successfully"
The department offers to hold
hearings in questionable cases.
But rather than subject them
selves to scrutiny, some operators
prefer to default on the license,
and secretly shift their business
to some other firm.
Cleaning up the New York
poultry racket is a big job in it
self, but Wallace's men also have
tackled Jersey City, Newark, and
Philadelphia. Next will be Chi
cago, with others to follow-prob-
ably Cleveland, Cincinnati, and
Buffalo.

XXTASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The
Wv extent to which business
men suddenly have turned against
the New Deal is wildly revealed
by recent experience of DR.. Isl
dor Lubin, head of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics.
In 1888 and 1884 he initiated
several surveys which produced
important trade and industrial
data never before compiled. Al
though in no way compelled to
do SO, business men co-operated
practically 100 per cent.
At the close of each year, Lubin
sent out letters of appreciation to
the reporting firms. In return he
received hundreds of approving
replies assuring him of continued
collaboration.
Then came 1885. Soon after the
Supreme Courts demolition of the
NRA, there was a decline in the
number of reporting companies.
BY summer, the decrease totaled
1000 a month. BY October, the
drop had reached such proper
tions that it was raenacing the
elaborate fact-gathering system
Lubin had developed.
Casting about for an idea to re-
enlist cooperation, Lubin hit on
the plan of sending out a cour-
teous acknowledgment of their
past assistance in inviting its con-
tinuance. To save money he
printed a small card, instead of
writing individual letters. The
cards went out and Lubin anx-
iously sat back to await the re-
Spouse.
He got it-without delay. The
returning mails brought scorclling
letters from irate business men
demanding what he mear4t by
wasting the taxpayers money"
They refused to have anything
futher to do with his surveys.

Perhaps the most striking char
acteristic of Mr.. O'Hara's paint
ingS is the effect Of blazing sun
light on the bright roof tops and
vivid hills Of the Southwest and
Mexico. He creates this effect
through the brightest of blue skies
and fluffy white clouds.
Mr.. O'Hara'S whites are more
than just plain white. They have a
lustre and brilliance that bespeakS
the artists ability with the brush.
Mr.. O'Hara, besides his produc-
tivity as a water colorist, has
written two books on his art,
namely, Making Water Color Be
have" and Making the Brush Be-

In addition, he has received the

The most outstanding Of Miss
Putnam's portrait studies, the
quality Of which is indiSputable,
is her portrait Of the late D. H.
Lawrence, the famous author. It
was ON the sta ength Of this por-
trait, made from photographs,
that Miss Putnam received q
scholarship for the studio house.
Lawrence'S portrait pictures
the aStheticiSm and dreaminess Of
the author by its strength, para
doxical as that may seem. The
bearded face, young and vigorous,
is the spirit Of a man, searching
and sad.
Next in beauty is the portrait
entitled Sonny" It's the picture
of child, beautiful in its sim.
plicity and tenderness. It has that
vague realism that some artists
try for and few achieve.
The artists portrait of Melvin
Fox, son Of Mrs. Dora Fox, owner
OF the bookShop, is a splendid ex-
ample Of Miss Putnam'S ability to
catch the living spirit of her sub
ject. She has the expression in
the young mans eyes better, per.
haps, than a photograph would.
Young Mr.. Fox is an actor, a
vital example Of the generation
that is witnessing with seems
eyes, in his early 2O's, world in
upheaval. Miss Putnam has
caught every bit of it in her study.
OF the collection, only two were
made from photographs, the por-
trait Of Lawrence and one other,
a study of Gen. Robert E. Lee.
The remainder were made from
life.
There is an interesting study in
pastel of a colored girl, and an
other, in oil, Of a Japanese girl.
Both are a striking contrast to
the black and white of the char
coal drawings, which are undoubt-
edly the artists best medium.
