The Greatest Family.

According to standard genealogies
King Edward VIII is a member Of the
greatest family in the world" In
awkward but reasonably accurate out
line his claim to the crown is traced as
follows: He is the son of George v, son of
Edward VII. son of Victoria, niece Of
William w and George w. sons of
George III. grandson of George II, son
of George I, cousin of Anne and Mary
II, daughters Of James II, son of Charles
I, son Of James I, cousin of Elizabeth.
Mary and Edward vi, children Of
Henry VIII, son of Henry VII, descend
ant Of Edward III, son of Edward u,
son of Edward I, son Of Henry III. son
of John, son of Henry II, grandson Of
Henry I, son of william I, who is better
known as The Conqueror, but who had
at least the shadow of legality for his
seizure Of the kingdom, since he was an
acknowledged kinsman of Edward the
Confessor, son of Ethelred II, son of
Edgar, son of Edwy, son Of Edward the
Elder, son of Alfred the Great, son OF
Ethelwulf, son of Ecgbert, first King of
all England.
The new monarch also Is connected by
ties of blood with the Emperor Charlie

NJ. Laval Steps Down.

France Is once again lnoulslng IN the
luxury Of a cabinet crisis. His hand
forced by the detection Of M. Herriots
Radical Socialist group, Premier Laval's
government has met its long threatened
doom and resigned from office. It is a
fate that was foreseen ever since the
Ethiopian peace plan f1aSco Of De-
cember. The French premier's partner
in that nefarious business, former Brit
ish Foreign Secretary Hoare, promptly
paid the penalty Of his participation in
it. And now Premier Laval walks the
plank. though not exclusively on the
same account. French resentment
over the Anglo-French deal to reward
the Fascist aggressor was strongest
among former Premier Herriot and his
political associates, and it is they who
have brought NJ Laval to book.
Following the Ethiopian peace scandal,
the Laval cabinet managed to win a
couple Of votes of confidence in the
Chamber Of Deputies, but it was well
understood that they were only passing
periods of calm preceding an inevitably
devastating storm. The governments
days were definitely numbered. It has
finally gone on the rocks because of in
surmountable treasury difficulties. Laval
quits with the boast that at the end
of seven and a half months in the
premiership he has fulfilled his mission:
that the franc is Intact" and the budget
cut by one-fifth. He pleads, too, that
economic recovery is in progress: that
peace has been maintained and that
Frances relations with the League and
her foreign friends and allies are solidi-
fed.
Despite this rosy picture, the borrow
ing power of the government, faced by
the requirement to carry out a refund
ing operation Of $52S, 100000 within the
next few months, is almost exhausted.
The treasury is greatly depleted, and
efforts to raise money in London have
proved unsuccessful. Once more, the

being seriously discussed. It is because
Laval shrank from assuming RESPONSE
bility for such recourse, with its i'm
measurable consequences. that he de-
cided to leave the thankless fiscal task
to other hands. The dinculty President
le Brun is experiencing in finding a par

politics are kaleidoscope and incalcu-
liable. Stranger things have happened
than that Pierre Laval, though he has

propel him back to power. should once
again emerge as the man Of the hour.
Meantime, he may loom as the logical

In loyal faith on youth we call,
We're apprehensive, just the same.
It's possible that youth may fall
Again for the "old army game"
The gold brick" often will deceive
The leaden bullet may do worse,
The promises that men believe
Their old allurements will rehearse.

OF plots that subtle fingers frame
And in your self defense be sure
To study that old army game.

into the lake to retrieve the fish after

ago Peterson was fishing in Battle
Lake at the edge of the drop-off. A
swish on the line told him he had a
big one, and wall-eyed pike was skill
fully reeled in. But just as Peterson
was to lift it into the boat, the pike
made a mighty flop and was off the
hook. Bewildered the pike started fol-
shore and into the shallower water, and
Peterson leaped in after it. He was
waiSt-deep when the fish discovered its
mistake and started for deep water, but
Peterson was in close pursuit. The pike

through Peterson's grip, but still be-
wildered, turned again for the shore
When the fish made second attempt
to swim into deeper water, Peterson
grabbed it for keeps. The pike weighed
5h pounds. Peterson has witnesses to
his feat.

Summer Ills Should
Haze Special Care.

The dread infantile paralysis is es-
pecially disease of late summer and
fall and, since each summer sees at
least a few cases in Minnesota, physi-
clans warn parents this week to remem-
Der it whenever there is illness in sum-
mertime.
Today's bulletin from the Committee
on Public Health Education of the Min
nesota State Medical Association points
out for their comfort, however, that
not all cases of infantile paralysis
technically known as poliomyelitis
leave a Gripping paralysis in their
wake. With prompt attention and good
after care many of those who do suf-
fer a paralysis can be almost, if not
entirely cured.
The extensive and important research
now being carried on to find some
means of preventing the disease has
not yet resulted in any form of vacci-
nation or immunization that can be
safely used.
The probabilities are, according to
physicians, that such protection will
eventually be discovered. In the mean
time the usual rules Of hygiene, that
is, avoidance of people who are sick
careful washing of hands, particularly
before eating; careful washing of veg
etables and fruits, and care to see that
milk and food supplies are all clean and
uncontaminated, constitute the only re-
liable protection from polio" and many
other kinds of troublesome late summer
ailments.
In addition, parents are especially
cautioned to put children to bed i'm
mediately in case of illness. Sucf
treatment gives them the best chance
to recover quickly, whatever the trouble
may be. 1t is especially important i
the illness should chance to be poliomy

Miss Marjorie alone represented the

not be so much interested at this tender

Lead Poisoning GiUen
As Cattle Death Cause

A short time ago, DR.. Thompson sent
the liver and heart of a COW to the
veterinary department of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota forstudy. He received
an answer that the animal had died of
lead or arsenic poisoning.
Several cattle have died from I'M
known causes in this vicinity recently
and the steps taken by DR.. Thompson
were to ascertain the cause of death.
The University authorities confirmed
DR.. Thompson's opinion that metallic
poisonS found in paints on silos and
barns and from empty paint cans was
the cause.
The forest department has been ac-
cuSed in the claim that the spray used
in killing the army worm was direct
cause. There were similar deaths in
cattle long before the spray was applied
and this accusation was set at nought,
says DR.. Thompson.

WPA sums 1885
WORK In COUNTY
Two Hundred and Ten Projects
Now in Operations; Nearly
4 Million Spent.

In st. Louis County, during the fiscal
year which ends next Wednesday, WPA
paid $500, 6O3O4 for labor and ma
terials on the 297 projects that are now
or have been in operation in the county
it was announced this week by Ralph
G. Lunberg, in charge of WPA opera
tons for this area.
1t was also announced that of these
projects 210 are still in operation and
that 81 others have either been COM
pleted or suspended. Those suspended
may be resumed again should needed
relief labor become available and con-
ditionS justify such resumption.
Mr.. Lundberg also announced that
there are at present 6,453 persons on
the WPA payroll in this county which
compares with the peak load in Janu-
airy when 1910 persons were at work.
All these figures are based on records
as of June II, data for balance of June
being not yet available.
Mr.. Lunberg issued this summary in
making a report to Victor Christgau,
state administrator, through the Office
of Henry L. NORM, director of District
No. 1. 1t was explained that while it
is known that the program will be con-
tinued, details of the new program will
not be ready for official announcement
until next week.
Mr.. Henry L. NORM, director, of Dis
trict No. l, reported that WPA expendi-
lures in the six counties comprising his
district were 1885, 369.2
In Minnesota generally, 435 projects
have been completed and work on 1856
others in the state program for the
fiscal year ending June 80 will continue
in operation.
In reviewing accomplishments of the
federal work agc.icy, Mr. Christgau this
week stated WPA expenditures in the
state will total a little more than
$29,O00,O00 on June 80. According to
May 81 figures, the latest available on
the breakdown of expenditures,
$20,556, 1893 was paid in wages to relief
employables and 81 ,343, 765 to non-relief
workers. Supplies and materials pur-
chased amounted to $1,29653O; rentals
of equipment and buildings cost 81 ,6O6,-
7O9; equipment purchased outright
$l03,796; contractual services S16,5O4.
WPA employment in Minnesota hit
its peak in February when $500 were
on the payrollS. Under a reduced en-
ployment requirement the figures will
be 100000 at the end of the current
month. In addition, 1890 youths are
being given part-time work with PWA
funds.
Distribution of funds by types of
work shows the largest expenditures
for projects under the general classifi-
cation including highways, farm-to-
market roads, streets and alleys, bridges
and viaductS. Approximately So, BOG 900
was spent for this type of work. For
farm-to-market roads alone, S4,027 900
was spent.
Second largest classification of work
fell under the heading of building con-
struction for which 1884, 900 has been
spent on 443 projects.
