1 which tradition has connected with Glamis, in 8 manner which made it obvious that she had what might be termed an open mind on the matter of spooks. Some of us" she exclaimed, sometimes sec a litHe old lady dressed with poke bon. net. She seems to walk right through the wall" Then she paused, and concluded philosophically, "of course, some of us don't"
 From that day to this she has remained the same, from her par ticularly attractive voice to her charming simplicity and keen inter est in every detail of anything in which she becomes interested. Only the other day, just before she be- came queen, she was selling things from behind the counter of our roy al school of needlework. People were struck by the infinity of trou- ble she took. And they were in- fneasurably charmed by her invari-' ably willing response to innunerable requests of people who asked if the duchess Gas she was them could possibly be induced to sell them such an article, even though it came from quite another part of theeIoon. 'sf
 Endeared Herself To All
 She has beyond question endeared herself to all those who have seen her at work, by her unfailing con- Sideration, her enthusiasm and her lovable personality. More than that, and think still more signifi- cant, she succeeded in realizing the so often disappointed dream of those who enter into the family told by the way of marriage: She captured the heart not only of Queen Mary, who has taken her absolutely as daughter, but of the rest of her roy- al husbands family. e n-.
 Such is the simplicity of the wo- man whose romance with King George VT dates back from the time when they met at a tea party, aged respectively 6 and 10 years. Thir- teen years elapsed until they met again, when he was 9 and she. 19,
 It took her three years to make up her mind from the time they came together again until the an- nouncement of their engagement. She wanted to be quite sure, not so much that the then possible future king of England would be a suitable husband for Lady Elizabeth Bowes- Lyon, but that she, Lady Elizabeth BoWes-Lyon, would make a suitable wife for the man who might some day become king and emperor.
 Surely, that delay is at least one irrefutable proof of Queen Eliza beth's conscientiousness and regal simplicity

SLATER FAMILY
 REIGN IS ENDED
For l46 Years They Had Controlled Textile In=
 dustry in New England

Webster, Mass. Dec. 17-(U.P0- The Slater family's 146-year reign over New England's textile industry ended last night with the closing of gates at the Slater mill in North Village.
 Polling of the mills old bell mark cd the passing of the last New England textile plant owned by Slater.
 In 179O Samuel Slater started the first cotton spinning frame in America, based on the Arkwright system. From wooden mill, still standing as the museum of the cotton industry at Pawtuckett, R. l., the Slater family gradually increas- ed holdings and amassed a $25,- 100000 fortune.
 More than 900 employees of the North Village plant were prepared for the closing. They have been seeking employment at other plants since July 4, when a strike was call- ed which was the beginning of the end of the Slater regime.
 Mills Are Running
 Mills formerly owned by Skaters were running today in Webster. They were the East Village plant now owned by the Cranston Print Works of Providence, R. l., and the worsted and woolen central plant owned by the American Woolen Company.
 The management declared today that they had found difficulty in getting workers to run warps off the looms.
 Employment of extra shifts in other mills around here took most of our workers" the management said. "The rest found work else- where"
 Only sign left of the influence Samuel Slater had upon industrial America was a name lettered ir white brick on the plant chimney Slater, 1790."

 Defense Fought Hard
 The decision of the 12-man jury marked the failure of the vigor- ously fought defense which had con- tended that the state failed even to show that Maxwell had been mur- dered.
 The defense charged that Max wells death might have been caused by heart attack. The state argued that Edith killed her father with a blow on the head, inflicted with one of her high-heeled slippers or pos sibly with an electric iron.
 Miss Maxwell broke into sobs when the jury announced its deci- sion.
 "Them jurors know I'm not guil- ty," she cried, clutching handker- chief to her eyes and refusing to be comforted by her family.
 Bitter Enmities
 The two trials of Edith Maxwell pretty school teacher charged with staying her father because he up- braided her after she had gone automobile riding with young neighbor, disrupted the quiet life ol this mountain, community anC aroused bitter enmities.
 Seldom had the strict moral code of the Blue Ridge Community been questioned so sensationally.

Auth critics said that he died of head wounds, allegedly inflicted by his daughter the night before. Convicted of Murder
 At her first trial Edith was con victed of murder, of having beaten her father to death with the heel of dancing slipper in quar- rel, that arose after she stayed oui with young man after the nine o'clock curfew.
 Edith protested tearfully that hel father was intoxicated, that she hit him only in self defense wher he threatened to kill her. A jury of her mountain neighbors listened soberly to her story, then found hel guilty on November 19, 1885. Judge H. A. w. Skeen sentenced the 21. year old girl to 25 years in thu penitentiary.
 The trial immediately became cause celebre.
 Women's clubs in Knoxville Tenn. and elsewhere raised fund! for her defense. Newspapers anc magazines printed lengthy dispatch es about the mountain girl who hat been sacrificed on the olltmodec altar of parental rule. A syndi' cate bought Edith's story. A photo company purchased exclusive righ to take her pictures.
 Residents Angry
 Residents of Wise, which itself 1! half an hours drive to the neares telegraph line, resented the article! which had been written about lift in the mountains. The community became divided, half in Edith's favor; half against. There werl verbal tits and recriminations. Tht Knoxville women withdrew theil support of Edith and returned tht money they had collected.
 On December 12 Judge Skeer overruled a defense motion for 2 new trial. Still the fight went on More money was collected iron Edith's sympathizers, principally ir the cities of the southern seaboard New attorneys were hired.

 Safety of Govt.
 Nanking, Dec. II. .- CUP)-The safety of one man will not be al- lowed to interfere with the normal conduct of the Chinese national government, pr. H. H. Kung, acting executive head, declared in a state ment broadcast to the, United States from Nankihg tonight. "'
 Dr. Kung's broadcast was the lat est official word concerning the seizure of generalissimo Chiang Kali Shek by his subordinate, Marshal NAA0AB 4AouCAA-AIidAlS, ut 0AdI-Gu, III Shensi province, last Saturday.
 He apparently ignored the gen. eraliSsimo's reported plea against armed action to release him, and announced that punitive expedition was ordered to crush young Marshal Changs uprising and his demand for immediat, war with Japan.
 Govt. Relentless
 "Thc government is relentless in dealing with political offenders" Dr. Kung said. ''The government has therefore given orders for a punitive expedition in order to nip the re- volt in the bud.
 While all are anxious that Chiang Kai-Shek may be rescued and re- turned in safety ... the earliest pos sible moment, our attitude is that the personal safety or movements of one man should not be allowed to inc terfere with the normal conduct, of government"

SPORTS
OF THE WEEK
(Chuck Rathe)

They're still talking about that
Alexandria4Sauk Centre sensation
and well they might. It made his
tory. It is a rare quirk when a
basketball game proceeds into the
third overtime period, and while
the crowd roars it's frenzy the
teams played cody and heads up
ball. During the first half Alex
andria seemed to have the upper
hand. The locals kept up all right
on the scoring, but the drive was
conspicuously absent. That drive
was strengthened in the last half
when in the third quarter the To-
Gals turned on the pressure and
found themselves in the thick of a
battle the likes of which they had
not sensed. It was this same driv-
ing spirit that finally won the ball
game for them.
Il wish I were twins" might
have been the theme song of
this corner last Friday eve
what with trying to chase
around two basketball games.
While we languished in defeat
in Long Prairie with the high
school quint, the Independents
took the situation in hand by
defeating Morris.
Wish they'd put beacon on the
Long Prairie school house. For the
past two years Harvey and the lads
have wandered thither and yon in
the Todd county seat searching out
the scene of operation. Besides los
ing the schoolhouse the bus got
stuck in snowbank and all hands
were called into action heaving the
lodged vehicle out of the snow.
Long Prairie's burning at
tack led by Elver somewhat
cast q pail over the local win
ming streak. The victory marks
the first Sank Centre defeat at
the hands of Long Prairie In
the past five years. But how
they made up for It! Elver must
have slept on this game for
weeks; he went wild. Held to
measly two points on Sank Cen
tres floor, he ran amuck FRI
day evening and rang the bell
for eighteen points.
