DROUGHT TRIP
OF PRESIDENT
YARDSTICK
international News Service


Despite President Roosevelt's as
Sertion that his August inspection
tour Of the Northwestern drought
area would be devoid of politics,
a disposition persisted in Wash
ington political circles today to ap-
ply q political yardstick to the
trip.
North and South Dakota and
Minnesota - hardest hit by the
prolonged aridity-are the three
States above all others where Rep
reSentative William Lemke, North
Dakota Non-Partisan, hopes to
make an appreciate dent in the
1885 election returns with his
third-party ticket.
Friendly Farmer-Laborites have
warned Mr.. Roosevelt that in these
three States Lemke can possibly
muster enough votes-at the ex-
pense of the Democratic ticket-to
let the Republicans carry them.
Lemke, of course, insists he per-
sonally will carry them.

good its promise to put the heads

aiding 100000 others with loans

Presidents appearance would be
most effective.

was no present plan to extend the

Wales Is Famous
As A Daring
Sportsman
BY BRUCE CATION
Staff Writer for Daily Dispatch
and NEA Service

Historic Westminster Abbey was
crowded on a certain day 35 years ago
The greatest men in England, the lead
ing monarchs of Europe, were present
in all the majesty of glittering decora-
fions and brilliant robes. The most
solemn pageant the British empire
could produce was in progress. A
new king and queen were being
crowned.
On a bench near the front of the
abbey sat a very small boy, decked
out in gorgeous robes that set off his
rather thin, pale little face. He was
nhimpressed by the pomp and cir
cumstance, bored stiff by the ritual.
TO occupy his mind and create a dlVl-
sion he devoted himself TO pinchlng
the leg of the little girl who sat be-
side him. Only one figure in the abb
hey caught his attentions gaudy,
bafbarlc Kaffir chieftain from At
Tica, striking with his black skin. his
gold earrings and his cOlOrful leop-
ard skins.
His Day Approaches
This little boy very shortly win go
through another ceremony in the alb
bey-only this time he himself will
be the principal actor. He is the
yotinr man who is known to the world
az the Prince of Wales, and in a short
time he will ascend to the throne of
England as King Edward VIII.
Mine years after that first corona
ton, at which his grand father, King
Edward VII, was crowned the young
prince witnessed another coronation
THAT of his father, the late King
George w. This time he was older;
but still the occasion was something
Of q bore. He was logged out in re-
splendent garb with hat which bore
tau white ostrich plumes On his way
TO the abbey he rode in q. coach with
his younger brother, and they made
so much fun of the Indian feathers"
ON his hat that lively scuffle ensued
which ended with one of the princes
Under the seat, and left the stately
clothes of all three much ruffled and
Askew for the great ceremony
Those two episodes give rather re-
veaiing sidelights on the character
Of the man who becomes king Of
England. Those two-and one more.
He was asked not long ago what he
would like TO have more than any
thing else in the world, and he said,
1.-TWO whole days absolutely alone"

At 13 he was sent to Osborne Col

of students, and had been losing mon

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 80.
Definite assurances of the elimina-
tion of the grade crossing on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at
Beltsville, Md. came with the
offering of bids for the construc-
tion of a four-span steel overpass
at that point at the offices of the
State Roads Commission here yes
terday.
Elimination of the grade cross
ing, long regarded as the most
dangerous in the State Of Mary
land, is the result Of agitation
brought on by the increased traffic
between the Baltimore Boulevard
and the Federal agricultural prof.
ects east Of the tracks. Yester-
day a group of Prince Georges
County citizens requested aid from
Senator Millard E. Tydings in
gaining immediate action on the
project.
The elimination of the Belts
vile grade crossing was one of two
projects to be started by october
13. The other is construction Of
a single 60-foot span steel bridge
