LONDON, Jan. % Q.N.SO A
few hours after being publicly pro-
claimed King throughout the EN-
pire, Edward VIII entrained for
Sandringham at 237 p. m. today
returning sorrowfully to the bier
of his beloved father, the late
King George.
The monarch at the last mo-
ment abandoned plans to fly back
to Sandringham, greatly relieving
a public which had feared for the
safety of their ruler as he made
the journey from Sandringham to
London by airplane yesterday.
Plans to fly we're cancelled
lowing to unsuitable flying con-
ditions," it was announced Off
ciaIly, indicating that Edward
will be a flying king" whenever
weather permits, and that he will
not give up his favorite mode Of
travel, despite pleas of his ad-
visors.
There was some conjecture
that Minister Stanley Baldwin,
who conferred with King Edward
this morning, had induced the
king to take the train back to
Sandringham, expressing concern
of the government over yeSter-
days flight.

seemed to be a snow-storm OF
cards under the front door. Miss
Alice sent old "Uncle Ben," the
negro retainer who propelled her
wheel chair to see what it meant.
He came back with heaps Of
cards inscribed with such titles
as equerry, secretary, sir this and
that, and finally one inscribed
Edward Prince.
The chagrin of the Misses Riggs
may be imagined when they dis
covered that the doorbell Of the
old mansion, in which they had
lived for over 10 years, was out
of order for this first time on the
day Of the princes visit, and the
cards had been showed under the

When England'S new king, Ed
ward VIII, was in Washington on
the occasion of his first visit, he
had the unprecedented experience
of ringing a doorben and not hav-
ing the door open l for him.
Then he was Prince Of Wales,
fair, boyish and just a bit in
gratiatingly shy. He, with his en-
tire suite, came to call ON the late
Miss Alice Riggs, who then lived
in the old Riggs mansion on I
Street, between Sixteenth and
Seventeenth Streets. You don't
have to be a very old Washington
ian to recall the old red brick
house with the high brown stone
Stoop, and the walled garden over
which blooming shrubs climbed in
the spring.
Smiles Regretfully
The story of the call was told
this writer by Miss Alice Riggs,
whose father founded Riggs Bank.
She smiled regretfully at the oc-
currence. It seems that when
Edward WIS grandfather visited
this country in the early sixties
Miss Riggs, then a Washington
belle in her teens, was invited to
accompany the then Prince of
Wales on the party to Mt. Vernon.
A picture of this group long
hung in an antiquarian bookstore
on F Street. 1t showed the prince
with family budding side whiskers
and the ample trousers of that
day, and Miss Riggs in plaid skirt
cut on the bias and literally ex-
tended by a hoopskirt. A demure
bonnet tied under the chin COM
pleted the delightfully."- quaint cos
tune. The rest of the party, COM
posed of the princes encourage
and some of the Cabinet, included
in all about a dozen older people.
So, when the grandson of the
old Prince of Wales came to Wash
ington, one of his first visits of
courtesy was to the then aged
Miss Riggs, who spent most of her
later life in a wheel-chair.
Storm of Cards
On the evening of the young
Princes visit, Miss Alice and her
sister, Miss jamie, descended in the
lift to the dining room for their
evening meal. They noticed what

him to Sandringham. They left
from the Liverpool Street station.
The royal family travelled in
special firstclaSs compartments of
an ordinary passenger train filled
with travellers bound for Var
mouth.
The Kings own first-class COM
partment had been reserved in the
name of Mr.. Jerrman," and it
was not known until the last min
ute that the royal family would
be aboard.
King Edward hurried up in a
black overcoat and carrying a
bowler hat and a red leather dis
patch case.

into the city before 8 o'clock, with
their rifles reversed and their
colorS and drums covered with
black crepe, but as soon as they
took their places, they fixed bayo-
nets, an act symbolic of today'S
respite in the nine months Of
mourning.
Escorted by Life Guards. the pro
cession of hera1ds in five horse
drawn coaches trooped slowly
through the Mall and Duncannon
Street where, at Charing Cross,
the proclamation again was read
by a. G. B. Russell in the pictur-
esque outfit Of the Lancaster
herald.
Met BY Lord Mayor
The full rights of the independ-
ent City of London were upheld
when the heralds reached Temple
Bar, which marks the boundary
of the City of Westminster.
There the Lord Mayor of Lon
don waited in full state, and when
the bluemantle pursuivant Of
arms, r. P. Graham Vivian. ap-
preached, trumpets blared three
times and the city marshall chal-
1enged:
"WhO goes there?"
The answer was:
"HiS Majesty's officers Of
arms, who demand entrance
into the City of London in order
to proclaim his Royal Majesty
King Edward VIII"
Given permission to enter the
city-a ceremony that the King
himself must go through on state
visits-the heralds moved across
the line and the Norroy king OF
arms read the proclamation Tor
the third time.
The Temple Bar ceremony
ended with three cheers for His
Majesty and the playing OF the
national anthem.
The lord mayor, in his heavy,
centurieS-old gold and black car
riage, joined the glittering proces
son up Fleet Street, around St.
Paul's, and to the Royal Exchange.
Great Square Crowded
In the shadow Of the Bank OF
England and in the heart of the
worlds financial center, the great
square in front of the Royal EX-
change was black with people as
the Clareneaux king of arms read
the proclamation for the fourth
and last time.
The lord mayor himself led the
three cheers for King Edward,
and the dignified, scarletrobed
aldermen joined in the hurrahs.
In the provinces and capitals OF
the dominions and crown colonies
sheriffs and other dignitarieS read
the proclamation, asking God that
Edward may have "long and
happy years to reign over U.s."
After each reading God Save
the King" was played, cheers rang
out, and flags were run up to full
mast. Colors were hoisted high on
all ships at noon.

ANEMIA CHANGES TOO

ANEMIA CHANGES TOO
 We seldom hear of "the green sickness" any more. This type of anemia, known as chlorosiS, was fairly common when I was Q tyro in practice, not only among servant girls recently arrived in America Gas the doctors bible" points ouO but also among the daughters of we'll -to-do farmers-contrary to Osler's observation that chlorosis was mot often in country y-bred girls, as Maud lin sings in the C0mpleat Angler. Aside from the striking symptoms characteristic of this type of anernia (unlike ordinary secondary anemia) the peculiar sign that distinguished chlorosis from ordinary anemia was the relatively great diminution in the proportion of hemoglobin (col- bring matter) in the blood. This was impressive in contrast with per- niciouS anemia, in which there is comparatively slight decrease in the hemoglobin but 8 marked diminu- ton in the number of red corpus cleS.
 In ordinary anemia the diminu- ton in the strength of hemoglobin is proportionate with the diminution in number of red corpuscles.
 Now that "the green sickness" has passed into history 1t is interesting to note the principal views as to its nature and cause, which physicians advanced when the disease was common. They ascribed 1t to "emo- tional and nervous disturbances" to love sickness, to defective develop ment of circulatory and generative organs, to insufficient food and too much confinement in poorly lighted and badly ventilated rooms, to con- stipation, to lack of proper exer- else and fresh air and to corset wearing.
 Remember, these were the ideas physicians had before chlorosis was clearly distinguished from ordinary anemia (by Duncan in 186D.
 For us to conjecture about 1t now is like exhuming George Washington and holding @ necropsy to determine what he died of. Maybe I'm just nuts on the subject. but no harm done, whether you take 1t or leave 1t. I believe chlorosis was due tc vitamin deficiency. think the im- migrant girls who came here and went into domestic service in the homes of nice kind Yankee families who pinched and starved their serv- ants to the limit of the law, missed their potatoes and their whole grain cereal-foods which. in the old country, at least furnished good daily rations of vitamins B and G think Washington succumbed te diphtheria. I feel quite safe in both opinions. Frankly, though, this t merely conjecture.
 Today what is known as hypo' chronic anemia appears to have taken the place of chlorosis. But this modern type of anemia has fea- lures which differ in some respects from the green sickness. It occur usually in middle aged women in. stead of girls in their early teens With it there is commonly defi' cient secretion of gastric juice, and q lack of acid in stomach. whereas in chlOr0sig there was normal oI eF-secretion of gastric juice and hydrochl0ric acid.

 To the question "What about Mrs. Knox?" 1t might be answered that she was born Annie Reid in Alma, Michigan, late in the 1870's. Her father, well-to-do farmer, fought to uphold the Union in the battle of Gettysburg. The farm from which she and four sisters and brothers derived their comfortable existence had belonged to their paternal grandfather, a native of North Adams, Mass, who migrated to central Michigan in the early days of the Erie Canal.

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

The grand sweepstakes of spring is here. Only mother gets the sweeps and father doesn't get his steaks.
 Every year the house has to have It's sctting-up exercises, eSs pecially after a long winter like the past one, to carry 1t along for ans other year.
 This is the time I feel sorry for the kids. Oh, no, not because they have to eat snacks and sleep in odd corners, but because of the warn. ings. Mother isn't going to have hef new wallpaper marked, or the brand clean rug spotted. Fresh curta1nh are "verboten" to small grif1H hands, too. AS for the furnitusA and floors gleaming with fresh polA ish, angels help the careless if toyN make any scratches.
 Percentage Is Against Rarene
 Outside, father has not been idA either. He has sought solace in hiD garden. Rows of string mark the spot where precious seed lie. Little enveoilpes on sticks are stop" signs beyond which toes must not veFIa ture. The dog is tied up and everyA body on probation. What timel
 Now, of course, mama knows very well that one of the new chair covers is going to have chocolate smeared on 1t. The law of averages says so. Or the second step from the bottom look ashamed of the chewing gum tramped into It's new velvet coat.
 Papa, too, can place a safe bet on small Polly taking too great an interest in his radishes and delving into earth's mysteries with the mix ing spoon. He needn't have Q strike over it, either, for he knew he be- gan that an average number of ac- cidents would accur and all the red lights he could hang out couldn't keep all the jinxes away.
 After Pride Wears or
 Once In a while it all works out fine and furnishings escape at least until the first flush of mothers pride wears of. Then dab here or a spot there ceases to be vital. When dad reaches the stage where he makes a sour face at the hose and declares the whole sasspatch can dry up for all he cares, to- mato more or less won't matter.
 But in the meantime, woe to him who forgets.
 The moran IS this. Parents are a good bit that way. When they are glowing under a new interest, their children had better watch out. Johnny, permitted to jump on the old covers, may forget they are new. Orders are orders, but custom sets his pace.
 A great deal of blood pressure would be kept down if we could remember the law of averages and resign ourselves to a small. bittez dish of ruin in the punch of houses keeping.
 The enormity of a chiId's crimeI depends largely on the state Oz mind, at the moment, of his parent. Copyright lo36. ..EA Service. Inc
