Cannes at least until Christmas"
 This would be because Mrs. Simp- sons divorce decree had not been made final.
 Thus the prospect was that If the king abdicatcd, he would be depriv- ed, for the present, of the company of the woman for whom he made his sacrifice.
 It was learned that Mrs. Rogers was buying personally all food for the household and taking 1t ir her own car to the villa. All letters and packages were ex- amined before they reached the villa.
 Armed secret service men were in the villa, near Mrs. SimpsonS bed- room, at all hours Of the day and night, 1t was asserted.
 It was to this unhappy plight that her romance with King Edward had brought the cheery Mrs. Simpson. the one time Baltimore society woman who has taken her place with other women of history.
 She was up early. MT. and Mrs. Herman L. Rogers, hosts at their beautiful villa on the hill called California outside Cannes, served breakfast before a. m. Helps Her Hostess
 Since her arrival here, Mrs. Simp- son, distraught. had stayed in bed till nearly noon, but today she. too, was ID early. She was dressed in q knitted sports dress. Before breakfast she helped Mrs. Rogcra to arrange flowers from the garden. where they share space with orange trees.
 A heavy rain that lasted all night converted tn, Cannes airport into a field of mud. It ended to leave heavy clouds which would interfere with flying. But the meteorological service announced that flying con- ditions over France, though lncorn- fortablc, were safe.
 The flying weather was better be- tween London and Paris thai' be- l tweC. Paris and Cannes. There was excitement here dospite the rainy wind that bent the sea front palm trees. 5hawlcd towns- women quit their haggling over prictJ at the market to talk about King Edwards expected coming. Al- ready there were knots of waiting people at all four airportS In the Cannes area. Troops moved to posts at Freiug field to insure the king privacy, and detail of secret serv- Ice men arrived here to protect him. Mrs. Rogers Statement Tn he: statement to the press, Mrs. Rogers said:
 There has definitely been no change in the situation as far aa Mrs Simpson is concerned. She still Is at th villa and in the best oi health. ,. 4.

 Basked in Glory of Wife
 Her husband baskcd in the re- flccted glory of his wife and her two daughters, now the immediate heirs to the throne of England.

 Prince Albert studied at Osborne, in the naval academy which corrcs- ponds to Annapolis and then went to sea in 1912 for six months. He served as midshipman in the first battle squadron during the first few months of tho world war. Then he was forced into temporary retirement for an appendicitis op- eration. After recovering he re- joined his ship, was made acting Lieutenant in 19i8 and full Lieu tenant two years later. He took part in the battle of Jutland in 1916 and was mentioned in dispatches.
 A severe attack of influenza sas,tss anHa joined the air force. He quickly rose to group captain and in l936 was made an air vice-marshal. Tn 1919 he made his first solo flight over London.
 Began to Show Interest
 After making an extensive study study of economies and ciyics at Cambridge University. the prince began to display an interest in the manifold problems of industry. His many visits to factories and mills studying production systems. gained him the popular title of the "Indus- trial Prince" He once said Jokingly however that machines always broke down when he went near them.
 He was created the Duke of York in 1920. Three years later he mar ried Lady Elizabeth, on April %. 1923, which brought him 70 much happiness. The marriage was love- match although 1t is understood that Albert had to propose many times before he was accepted.
 Since his marriage, Albert had taken an increasing interest in problems of the empire. He visited Australia i:1 1927 to open the new capital at Canberra. He represented the king and queen at the wedding of the Grown Prince of Norway to Princess Marthe of Sweden. He made many speeches at the cere- monies and occasions which had to be attended by . member of the royal family.

London, had been there for two years exactly as the wife of Ernest Simpson, British citizen in the ship p-chartering business. She was $. Her marriage in 1916 to Lciuten- ant Earl Winfield Spencer had cnd- cd in divorce in 1927 when she charged that Spencer had deserted her five years before. Following her first marriage she had met Simpson and sailed for England to become his bride in 1928.
 Mrs. Wallis Warfield Spencer Simpson did not care about that royal reception particularly. She had found her own close circle of friends in London, a set that was captivated by her own wit and personality. But friends persuaded her to go, and she said she would if she didn't have to spend any money. So she borrowed the plumeS for her hair from one friend and formal gown from an- other. She did buy a narrow band Of aquamarincS to hold her hair in place and then, characteristically, saw and admired gorgeous aqua . marine cross. four inches long which would make" her costume. She bought 1t, spending more than she would have had to pay for an en- tire outfit.
 Saw American Girl
 MrB. Simpson moved forward with the other women being presented. She bowed low before the chair in which King George was seated. Be- hind it stood the Prince of Wales, Edward. He saw the American girl and was instantly attracted. And when Wally Simpson returned home that night, 1t was in q car owned by the Prince of Wales and personally accompanied by Edward himself.
 That, at least, is the story, and the most likely one, of the meeting. There ig no question that by 1883, the romance was in full course. The Prince of Wales and Mrs. Simpson were dancing and night-clubbing regularly together. They moved in the same exclusive and smart social set in London. Both, delighting in winter sports, went to the resort of KitzbuchI in the ABtrial moun- tairls. to Vienna and to European cities. Tn tho late summer of 1884 she went yachting with Edward on

STOP CODDLING
HAUPTM4NN!

The public is sick and tired of the
manner in which Governor Hoffman of
New Jersey is trying to protect Haupt-
mann. Lindbergh baby-killer,
Not that the people are thirsting for
Hauptmann's death out of emotional
revenge and hatred. On the contrary,
the interlude of time has permitted emo
tionalism to subside and permit popular
opinion to settle down to consideration
of the case from an impersonal and cool
headed angle.
Hauptmann was given every prlvi-
lege of law He was represented by able
counsel. The verdict was guilty. The
death sentence was imposed. To inter-
cede at this time and delay the proce-
dure of justice, is to make laughing
stock of law and order.
The underworld already holds our
laws in disdain. Crooks, criminals and
gangsters squeeze through the meshes
of our protective system, Laughing up
their sleeves.
1t is said that Hoffman's interest in
Hauptmann is the result of cultivating
the German vote in New Jersey. 1t is
hard to believe that, but the Governors
apparent eagerness to find some small
loop-hole, some technicality, is liable to
convince us that his is political motive.
The law should be above political
maneuvers. By disdaining it and ques-
tioning it, Hoffman is furthering the
interests of the underworld. Public Off
cials with backbones are needed, not
political puppets mollycoddling murder
ers.

Hoffman is teaching criminals to dis

BOOST SANDY BEACH

(SuRdy Beach on SditOR Sea has
qualified as potential resort asset to
this community. CiUic minded persons
and agencies should continue to pro-
mote il as rapidly as poSSibte.)
By dint of great effort and sacrifice
on the parts of many FL Centrans and
others, a regatta recently was staged at
Sandy Beach on Salton Sea. The result
of the effort was far beyond eXpecta-
tions. The event brought thousands of
people and convinced motor boat racers
that here is the place where records will
fall in the future.
Those who came, saw and partici-
pated have written enthusiastic express
sions about the possibilities of the loca-
ton. Those who came and saw and pic
nieked and enjoyed the event, all want
TO return again. There should be trees
lawns, picnic ovens and camping sites
When these are a reality, hundreds will
spend the winters and thousands will
spend their week-ends there.
New boats and boat-oWners are show
ing up on the membership lists of the
Imperial Yacht club. A new regatta is
being planned. It is to be hoped that be-
fore the next races take place, parking
facilities will have been arranged, picnic
grounds be made more pleasant; in
short, that additional steps will have
been taken TO bring Sandy Beach into
its own.
