lice, home department and war
department authorities. and Off
Gals at Buckingham Palace, King
Edward VIII has gained yet an
other victory in his battle to "hu-
mamie" his coronation festivities

Most all the officials wanted
the same coronation route as that
taken by Edwards father in 1911,
involving a journey of approx
mately three and one-half miles.
They argued it was not possible
effectively to guard a longer
route.
Edward, taking the view that as
many of his subjects as possible
should be permitted to witness the
colorful coronation procession,
held out for a greatly extended
route.
And now it is officially an
nounced that Edward has gained
the day, for when he drives to and
from Westminster Abbey next
May he will cover altogether a
distance of about six miles, pass
ing through London's best process,

For pensve youth began where all was fair.
And Spring. a maiden robed In silken sheen,
Laved Psyche's lovely brow with her own tears
And all the beauty Of the passing years
Returned In spirit to the forest green.

The lark has risen to salute the day,
And Artful Nature chases dark away
To rest in secret where her lovers lie.
