Apart from the question of good
manners, there is the education
problem. The privilege of being
born in line for the throne entails
heavy obligations. Training to be
equipped to assume the tremendous
responsibility, If called upon to do
so, through education in the usual
school subject matters, with addi-
tional and appropriate training in
subjects and requirements for car
rying out state business, IS what the
king and queen are providing for
their children.
Only Difference
The only difference between the
education OF the little princesses
and that of the royal princes lies
In the fact that the former are be-
ing educated privately by highly
qualified governesses and tutors.
And while the male descendants
of British royalty attend England's
best schools on the basis of equal
ity of treatment with other boys
(then being taught modern war
fare in the various armed services
of the state so as to fit them for
their ultimate leadership in the
field, that part of the education Of
the royal princesses is confined to
what useful information may be
gathered from the study of history.

Work has been started in connec:

was announced today at the de-
partment Of. welfare, office. Only
one lien has actually been placed
here in the city to date but 1t is
expected that Waterbury will figure
proportionaliy in the state total Of
1900 persons who are beneficiaties
and owners of real property. This
number constitutes about 10 per
cent Of the total number of persons
receiving aid throughout the state.
State Legislators
Under the law persons holding
property may receive old age as
sistance benefits but they must
agree to reimburse the state for
the amounts awarded to them and
give liens on their property to back
up the agreement.
The old age assistance to these
owners of property, in effect, is
nothing more than a loan from the
state at 4 per cent interest. When

claim for reimbursement is on file
against their estates. If there is suf-
ficient equity in the properties the
state will get back the total amount
which it has paid out. If not, the
state makes no further claims
The work has just begun through
out the state and at the present
time only about SO liens have been
recorded for the entire state.
Expenses Shared
The liens filed are for indefin-
lite amounts, increasing with each
weekly check to the beneficiary.
They are similar to mortgages in
that the state bears no expense in
connection with the upkeep of
property of taxes. If an elderly
person or persons own a house and
have not sufficient funds to keep it
running, a small amount for main
tainance has been figured in the
weekly award. Half of the money
paid out comes from the state and
the other half is from the federal

DON'T BREATHE DUST

Many housewives protect the hair
when cleaning, but overlook the fact that
their lungs are exposed to heavy charges
of dust laden air, observes Grace M.
Smith, writing in a recent issue OF
Hygeia on sanitary cleaning in the home.
Cover the mouth and nose with "a
sponge or double thickness of cheese
cloth, so arranged that dust will not
blow underneath it, Miss Smith sug-
gests. She also urges vacuum cleaning
of rugs and upholstered furniture. For
homes in which there is no electricity
there are vacuum cleaners with belt
driven fans and various types of carpet
sweepers. These are within the means
of every home, but even if they seem ex-
pensive, health should be considered
first.

and the general non-aggression pact
signed at Montevideo in 1888 by Saa-
vedro Lamas himself was never rati-
fed by the Argentine Parliament
On the other hand, the League of
Nations, aware of the importance of
the pan-American pact. informed the
Argentine foreign minister that he
would be elected the president of the
league next September. Secretary
Lamas has to choose between the
honor of presiding over the destinies
of a moribund body-the League
and being the host to a conference
which may bring about complete
change in the political and economic
relations between the two continents.
The betting in Washington is that he
will choose the latter.
Although the Buenos Aires confer
ence is called the r-American
Conference for Maintenance of Peace,
settlement of economic problems will
play the principal role.
Mr.. Hull will express the views that
in the event of another international
imbroglio, the only hope for the West
ern Hemisphere of avoiding being
drawn into the international vortex
will be policy of firm political and
economic cooperation. The United
States industries can provide every
thing the populations of the southern
continent need. On the other hand,
the United States could, with slight
sacrifice on the part Of American ag-
ricultural interests, absorb the prod
ucts Of the South American countries.
In order to achieve paQ-American
unity, the United States is willing to
offer f1ve-year tariff truce. whereby
no country will increase its tariffs
against the signatories of the conven.
tion!s In the meantime, it is willing
to negotiate new trade agreements to
facilitate the trade relations between
the two continents.
The BuenoS Aires conference will
endeavor to establish a peace ma
chinery to function at a moments
notice when an incident takes place
between the signatories of the con-
vention. The United States intends
also to propose economic sanctions
within the Western Hemisphere, these
sanctions to be applied only against an
American aggressor.

I Without the crutch lent them by this
| act many cities would have been
financially prostrate."
This first relief act provided that
| if the State government obtained the
/ loan reimbursement could be made
by deductions from future Federal
aid highway grants, but Congress
| later repealed the requirement for
this reimbursement These first relief
loans to the States, therefore, eventu-
ally became grants. The 1882 act
also provided that if cities obtained
the relief loans directly they were to
be repaid on terms made with the
| municipalities. In most cases, how
ever, this first relief distribution of
approximately S300,000,000 was made
to the State governments, only few
cities obtaining direct loans.
While Washington has shared tenn
porarily in allotments for relief AMI
work-creating projects since 1888. it
has run into complications not ex-
perienced by other cities in their deal
ings with the National Government.
| The District is accustomed to the
normal control which Congress exer-
! cises over its affairs under the Con-
| stltution, but the price it has paid
for sharing in emergency relief funds
has been complicating division of
this Federal control between Congress
and various emergency agencies.
! For instance, the first allotment the
District got from P. w. A. in 1893 was
sl,759,500 for the building of sewers
The Commissioners had submitted a
list including more urgent needs, such
as the completion of school and hos
p1tal buildings for which it had local
funds authorized to begin construc-
| ton.
| City Forced to Yield.
The city had to bow to Federal
control, however, and go forward with
a sewer program that ordinarily would
have been spread over a period of
years.
On the same occasion Congress re-
quired the District to reimburse P.
w. A. for 10 per cent of an allotment
of sl48,650 to National Capital Parks,
which the Commissioners had not
asked for.
The District had another experience
in 1888 with conflicting control by
different branches of the Federal
Government. In this case it was the
Districts own money, s1,659, 900
raised from gasoline taxes and water
rents. Congress said it could be used
to help relieve unemployment, pro-
vided the director of the budget ap-
proved, but for several months the
Budget Bureau withheld authority to
use this wholly local revenue on the
ground that it wanted to see how
much the District was going to get
under the national work-relief pro-
gram. The District money was finally
released.
Works Creation Fund.
After the creation of F. E. r. A.
and P. w. A. came the Civil Works
Administration, through which the
Federal Government spent more than
$500 600 900 to create work for the
unemployed between November 1888
and March 1884. OF the first $780,

the reluctance of World War "neu-
trails" which have two of their num-
ber upon the Council, to assume
responsibilities against Germany prac-
itcally resulted in giving q free hand
to the "Locarnian" powers other than
Germany.
African War Takes Precedence.
The whole incident brings to vivid
light new source of trouble for the
League. Tied to the general defini-
tions Of the Covenant, the League Is
compelled to Judge international hap
penings and to appreciate their rela-
tive importance not through their real
repercussions, but through their diver
gence from the letter of international
law. It means that the Italo- Ethiopian
war must, in the eyes Of Geneva, take
precedence over the abolition Of the
demilitarized zone by Hitler.
But q blow at the statute Of the
Rhineland, although it does not en-
tail any bloodshed, must necessarily
affect countries like France, Belgium
and England much more directly and
intensely than anything that takes
place outside that crucial district
and In the long run the community
of nations will fare in the same way.
Not only are the relations Of Western
