DeNILLE FILM TELLS
FAMOUS LOVE STORY

History relates how Hickok, played
by Gary Cooper, was retained by the
government to investigate gun-runnine
in the West because he was among the
most-feared of the bold and tough

its hard and brave men, when that
region was first opened for immigra-

SETTLERS PROTEST
WINS CITY OLD NAME
Virgin Islands Town Turns Down
Effort at Modern American
Streamlining.
BY the Associated Press,


The ghost of a seventeenth century
princess rose out Of the Caribbean n
today to defeat an effort at modern
American streamlfning.
In 1878, when 100 Danish settlers
and l03 African slaves cleared a hill
side on one Of the Virgin Islands, her
royal highness, Princess Charlotte
Amalie, was consort to King Christian
V Of Denmark
The settlers called their new citv
Charlotte Amalie. AS such it rocked
along until 192l-four years after the
United States bought the Caribbean
islands from the Danes.
The United States Geographic Board
then discovered:
Some people spelled it Charlotte
Amalie.
Some Charlotte Amalia
Some just Amalienborg.
So the board decided to do soma
streamlining and Charlotte Amalie Of
f1cially became st. Thomas.
Everybody spelled st. Thomas cor
rectly, but it didn't make them like it..
and this year, through the Colonial
Council. they petitioned for the name
OF the old princess. The change was
approved
Then came six months of watchful|
waiting-waiting to see if Charlotte
Amalie would catch on. Six months
are up and it has.
