TOURISTS WATCH
CHANGE OF GUARD
Impressive Bit of Pageantry
Fascinates Visitors
From U. S.

LONDON, September 5.--Summer Is
the off-season for royal pageantry in
London, especially with King Edward
away on q yachting cruise in Dalma-
tian waters, and the royal family still
In half mourning.
But even so, American visitors
some so 900 strong this Summer-get
a taste Of centuries-old pageantry at
the morning change-over ceremony Of
the Kings Life Guard.
That's in Whitehall, the half-mile
stretch that links Trafalgar Square
with Big Ben and the houses of Par
lament.
A brave spectacle-in their shiny
brass breast plates, red-tasseled he'll
NETS, spotless white buckskin breeches
and white gloves, and cleaning black
boots that reach up almost to their
hips-the Guards don't guard any
thing. Not really.
Plan Used In 1926.
Theoretically, In case of a threat
ened mob attack on the King. they
would guard the Whitehall gate to
st. James Park and Buckingham
Palace about mile distant.
THE plan," said one of them visit
fully in an interview in the officers
mess, "is that all the other gates
would be closed and no one would be
permitted to approach the palace ex-
cept through the Royal Horse Guards
Archway here in Whitehall.
That's what happened in 1926,
during the general strike. The
whole palace area was shut of, leav-
ing us to guard the Whitehall gate"
But st. James Park is a big, open
area, and it would probably take
many more than the $50 men in the
Royal Horse Guards regiment to sur
round the whole area. They like to
think they are really guarding the
King, even II the palace is Q mile
away.
Know King VIII Pass.
The whole guard turns out when
the King goes by.
Mostly. they are tipped of in ad-
vance so there won't be any last
minute scramble-with parts missing.
For it takes q good 20 minutes to don
the heavy. ornate uniform which
weighs more than so pounds. and it
takes two men to buckle on the brass
cuirass.
A good many canards have been
spread about the guards.
They particularly resent the story
that whenever Edward pops into
sight, while they are guarding him at
st. James Palace or Buckingham
Palace, they present arms and sing.
God Save the King!"
They present arms, all right, but
they don't sing.
And there's another one. The story
is that freshly laundered handker-
chief Is placed under the saddle of
each mounted guardsman. who is
supposed to sit stockstill and stiff as
ramrod. II he squirms, the hand
kerchief gets wrinkled-and the cul-
prit gets a reprimand.
Silly" said the officer in charge.
GUARDS Formed IN 1860.
The guards headquarters. originally
a. barracks, dates back to 1852. The
guards themselves are older. They
go back to 1860, formed by Charles
II. who, however. lost his head
anyway.
Six of them guard King Edward
when he Is at Buckingham PalAce,
five when he is staying at the smaller
St. James Palace.
At Whitehall, they stand on duty,
motionless and silent. for two hours
each shift.
And that's enough" said one Of
them. You can't talk or bulge. If q
fly gets on your nose, he can stay
there and bring his friends. When
people ask questions-and how they
ask 'em-you just look right through
them"

With her heart in her eyes,
Christie looked again at the man
she had Just married. . What was
he thinking, this stranger that
she loved, and had just promised
to live with forever?
He was looking at her, too, and
his eyes were misty.
He understood. He would al
ways understand, forever and
ever.
And suddenly great tears stood
, in her own eyes. and she smiled
through them, warm and alive
and happy, pressing her flowers
to her heart with one hand, hold
ing Donald's arm with the other,
walking down the aisle with him

And where did all the people
come from? Aunt Nettie had said
just a few! And here they were
scores Of them. people she
hadn't even dreamed Of as she
walked down the aisle.
She heard the delicate rustic
of her own train following her.
She saw, in the upturned faces

and say that the bride was beau

stage whisper.
Donald held her arm more

A little murmur of admiration
hummed through the crowd. A
child said, "Oh! She's like

They didn't see his mother,
weeping unrestrainedly on her

their joyous way up the aisle.
Nor did they see the wizened,
slightly cross-eyed old gentleman,
who, unlimited. sat in the back
row Of the church, and by his
perfectly ridiculous resemblance
to the late Adolphus Cooper, had
completely unnerved Nettie as she
passed him on her way up the
aisle behind the bridal party.
Isabelle saw him, too, for she

when she stood alone with lisa

"Shh! Someone will notice.
Most likely it was nobody at all.

Would Eve Latham see all the

Where was Adele? Oh, there

OTHERS VIEWS
AGAINST UNDERPASS

To the Editor:
Friends, neighbors, fellow citizens,
let us. awake from our stupor and as
sert ourselves -. if, in our Incidence
and feeble surrender, we have any
self worthy of assertion.
We have sat idly by and let the So
called powers-that-be perpetrate one
folly after another in the name Of
progress until all we seem capable of
doing is giving a shrug of the should
ers and saying, you can't do any
thing about it"
In our lethargy we lolled at our
ease while our magnificent new
high school building costing thous-
ands of dollars was built on the most
VIGOROUSLY unsuitable location in
town. Vigorous protests from a few
of the more courageous citizens re-
ceived no more attention than would
a little Pekinese chow receive should
he attempt to stop one of the huge
express trains which rush headlong
past the school building toward their
predetermined destination.
Now, another folly is about to be
committed This underpass. Shall
we sit back and let them ruin our
high school property by cutting 20
feet off the frontage and digging
down until the roadway is "A feet
below the sidewalk?
Beside the added traffic that
would be routed through the street,
adding to the noise of the trains,
there is another reason why this
should not be allowed. Anyone who
has been to the old high school at
lunch time on a rainy day, knows
what utter confusion and turmoil
one has to undergo to get ones child
into the car and headed for home
The confusion and danger will be
multiplied tenfold with a highway
running by the building, with a four
teen foot flight of steps for the chill
dren to rush down, searching fox
their parents cars in all the bedlam
and hubbub.
Let it not be said" It is too late to
do anything about it, If , we care
enough about it to arouse our dor
mant energies, it is not too late.
Don't ask the Mayor if it is too late
ask your lawyer; if he says it is too
late, then it is time for you to get a
new lawyer.
What are wo going to do about it
Citizens, of Henderson? 1t is up tc
you.

THE UNDERPASS, OR CIVIC
JUSTICE?

To the Editor:
This article will probably cause a
stir. Let it! We wish to say that
Henderson is part of very great
democratic commonwealth called the
United States Of American. If the
majority of the people of Henderson
do not wish to have the underpass
constructed, the project should be
dropped, We are not living in
Adolph Hitlerls reich, thanks be to
the great God.
We rejoice exceedingly to see that
we have men in town, such as Mr..
S. T. Peace, Mr.. James HI. Wright,
Mr. w. A. Connell of Warrenton,
and others, who have the moral cOur-
age, the character the backbone,
and the manhood to talk up in the
newspaper! Let the names, and the
aims, of those be published who have
been agitating for the construction OF
the underpass! Who are they? And
how many? This is a democracy
Why spend such fortune on an un-
derpass which will probably have
two feet of water in it most OF the
time, and will seldom be cleaned by
money would bring the city all the
worthwhile needed Improvements
which Mr.. S. T. Peace enumerates
in last evenings splendid plea.
There's a man with vision and with
sense.
Our beloved town of Henderson has
not only no adequate parking areas,
but when, also, will some foresight
be used to allow the necessary breath
ing spots, called parks, to be ar
ranged? Our town, is too slidly built
up, with no open spaces. The tourist
is not surely te'cpted to stay here
beyond his time because of the "pret-
tiness" of the place.
The bus station is at the best pos
sible place in town for the multiplied
ton of accidents. Did you ever see
elsewhere such a combination of
things as Henderson has at Mont
geometry and William Streets? Ger
tainly the railroad officials laughed
when they were given permission to
lay tracks across the sidewalk-in
front of downtown hotel. Look at
the other side, and you behold the
large greyhound buses making ter
minal of a public corner To drive
your car around the big parked bus
es, you must cut over to the left of
the street and then, in the case Of a
head-on collision with a car coming
on, right-hand side, what are the
courts going to do about it? ThereH
be one more silly verdict OF unavold-
