She walked long tricks on the
game trail with the rest Of the par
ty, learned quickly TO be a good
shot with the heavy game rifles,
and stood mishaps, such as the col

and windstorm, with unfailing good
humor.
The party then returned to Eng.
land, and the duke and the duchess
took up residence in the Earl Of
Strathmore's London house at ~
Bruton street in the West End,
looking out on Hyde Park.
There, on April 81, 1925, a daugh-
ter was born, and crowds thronged
the pavement to cheer a new poten-
tial heir to the British throne. Pub
lie rejoicing was widespread, for
disappointment with the Prince OF
Wales. for not marrying and pro-
yiding an heir was keen.
The baby was born In the same
room which had served as a play
room for the duchess as a girl.

Settling down to her new duties
as a mother, Elizabeth took Joy IN
those same cares which every moth-

Princess Elizabeth was only Q
months old when call came for
the duke to go to far-off Australia
to open the new parliament at Can
berra, as representative OF the king.
Leaving the infant princess IN
the charge OF Queen Mary, duke
and duchess sailed on the battle
ship Renown. A sailor had been
trained to act the part Of "lady's
maid" for the duchess, even to COM

permit her to take along feminine

Bullitt, one hears, is convinced
that European war Is perhaps only
a matter of weeks. In time of war
the nationality of diplomatic

In Moscow, Bullitt found that
not single member Of his staff
had an American-born wife. He
told the president dinner to his
staff resembled a League Of Nations
meeting. He suggested 1t was time
to crack down and clear the decks
as much as possible. Eighteen per
cent Of American foreign service
officers, and nearly 80 per cent OF
foreign service clerks are married
to aliens-a total of about 1880 for
eign-born women in American en-
bassies and consulates.
Some of the careerists are sore
at Bullitt, accusing him Of a case
Of spy fever" Others think his
point well taken.
The Davies appointment Is even
less popular among the career
boys, except for certain cookie

1t Is uncomfortable that Roosevelt
filled the Moscow post without con-
sulting Bullitt. and other diplo-
mats are saying Bullitt urged the
president to appoint hard boiled
man who wouldn't be sympathetic
to the Soviet Union. Also going the
rounds is a yarn that Roosevelt
offered Davies the Moscow Job In
the belief that he wouldn't accept
anything less than Paris or London.
Swung Debt Deal
The Davies appointment tends to
become more inexplicable II you get
around backstage and discover that
the president was hardly obligated
to this smart practitioner Of corpo-
rate and international law, despite
the fact that Davies had made
heavy personal contributions to the
democratic campaign and had COL
lected about 100000 for the party.
Joe had been pretty we'll taken

frowned on the proposal, Davies

country whose annual budget Is

1t Is true, Of course, that Davies

 Property Extension
Option on NaugatuCk Land Aired in Local Court; Blansfield Says Borough Enjoys Real Estate Boom

Extension to Sept. 1 of an option held on Naugatuck property of the Kazemekas & Co. Bank was op- posed in superior court this morn ing by Attorney Michael V. Blans- field, representing a committee of depositors. Claiming that Nauga- tuck Is now enjoying a real estate boom, Attorney Blansfield declared that extension of the option would give the option-holders more time to speculate.
 Attorney L. Russell Carter, coun- sel for the receiver of the closed bank, petitioned the court this morning for instructions as to whether or not to extend the option. The prospective buyers, he said, had agreed to pay $125 for the option, with $100 to be counted as part of the purchase price if they bought the property before Sept. 1,
 Informed that the present option expires May l, Judge Earnest C.. Simpson ordered the matter con- tinued until the last short calendar before that date, April p.
 Judge Simpson stated he agreed
