MOST EXPENSIVE
SHOW IN HISTORY
British Government Spends
$2,00O,0O0 on Entertain.
ment and InCidentaIs.

LONDON, May IL (P.-The cost Of
today's coronation pageantry runs into
tens of millions of dollars-in govern
ment and private funds.
1t ranks as the most expensive one
day show in the history of modern
society.
Revenue from the coronation sea-
son, direct and indirect, is estimated
as high as $5O0,O00 000-with over
seas visitors contributing good share
Of that.
Financially. and quite aside from
pomp and ceremony and splendor.
the coronation of King George vi
has been spelled out in large dollar
signs.
To give the general public 40
minute shoW-the time it took the
coronation procession to pass any
given point along the route-required
months of preparations and pound
notes by the baSketful.
S2.000,000 Government Cost.
AS a coronation it is more costly
than any Britain has known. The
government will have spent S2000,000
before it is over, in arrangements, in
building grandstands for 10000 per-
sons, in police and traffic and in the
entertaining of foreign royalty and
other distinguished guests.
This compares with million dol
l"rs for the coronation of King George
v in 1911 and sl,20c,0O0 for that Of
George w, the most expensive up till
now.
To build grandstand seats-for a
40-minute procession-the govern
ment allotted 100000. The royal
household alone IS spending s500,o00
in entertainment of guests. Ad-
miralty expenses, including the coro-
nation naval review yet to come, run
to more than 100000
But this represents only a small
share Of coronation costs in their en-
tlrety. Individuals participating di-
rectly In the coronation-peers and
peeresses and oti1ers-have spent
firms have spent large amounts in
decorations. All the boroughs of Lon
don allotted money for their own
decorations, for street parties for
children, for special coronation fes-
tivities.
Immense Revenue.
To more than compensate in most
cases, however, there's the coronation
revenue, which spreads all through
British trade and industry. Railway
companies, steamship companies, ca
terers, restaurants, hotels, dress
the money being spent. Thousands
Of workers throughout Britain have

BY SIR WILLIAM GOODE.

LONDON R).-England was a
calm and peaceful land and Lon
don like country town teeming
with horse e-dravn vehicles; crowded,
but with little noise or excitement
when King Edward VII was crowned
in 1902.
There was deep. personal affection
for the man who had been Prince
of Wales for many years, mingled with
anxiety whether the abbey ordeal
would be too much for him. Illness
and an appendectomy had necessi-
tated postponement OF the ceremony.
When 1t was all over there was great
relief.
Instead of Edward failing, however,
the unexpected happened. and the
venerable Archbishop of Canterbury
almost collapsed at the vital point
OF the crowning ceremony. The
heavy old headdress Of Edward the
Confessor almost fell from his nerv-
Gus, trembling hands. King Edward
raised his own hands and guided the
ancient emblem to his own head, an
unusual incident. which went un-
noticed in the London newspapers
Of that day.
For reporters it was q hard day.

abbey at $50 am. in full evening

London editor of that period, and

recognition by being sat upon, while

either side. It was returned empty

Throughout the ceremony special
messengers carried the Associated
Press running story of the ceremony
to telegraph instrument set up
under one OF the trancept galleries.
The abbey attendants were dismayed
by the fact that such instruments Of
modern news transmission should have
been brought into the precincts of
the ancient edifice. Authorities, how
ever, had granted the necessary per-
mission. and there was no Interrupt

From the crowns of their jeweled

Few attempted to estimate the

GEORGE CAN CLAIM
K|NSH|P OF KINGS
Is Descendant of Hanover
and Member of House
of Windsor.
A. P. Photos.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, May l2-King George VI,
third sovereign Of the House OF Wind
sor, can claim blood relationship with
nearly every reigning monarch in
Europe.
Descended from the old German
House of Hanover through both his
father and his mother, George never
theless is a member of the British
House of Windsor.
The House Of Hanover generally
was held to have been succeeded by
that OF SAKE -Coburg when Queen Vic
toria married Prince Albert in 184o.
Victoria came to the throne by indirect
succession, because her fathers elder
brothers-sons of George III
died without leaving issue, and her
father. the Duke of Kent. also was
dead.
Because the Salic law-restricting
succession to male members OF the
royal family-does not operate in Eng
land, she took precedence over her
fathers younger brother, the Duke of
cumberland.
The House of Saxe-Coburg was
short-lived. War with Germany led
George V-father of the monarch en-
throned today-to announce the foun-
dation Of the new House of Windsor.
King Edward VIII, who abdicated, was
its second head.
Descent of the crown would pass,
in the event Of the death of King
George vi. to Princess Elizabeth,
heiress-presumptive- unless. of course
male heir is born to him and Queen
Elizabeth before then.
After Princess Elizabeth the crown
would 60 to her younger sister. Prin-
cess Margaret. then to the Duke Of
Gloucester.

RAIN THREATENING
TOBACCO IN FIELD
No Serious Damage Yet, but
Can't Stand Much More
Precipitation

While curing tobacco is under way
throughout Vance county, two-thirds
of the crop is estimated to be still in
terioration from too much moisture
unless rains. that have been rather
frequent during the past few days
hold up very shortly.
So far as has been learned from
growers, no serious damage has re-
suited as yet, but the crop is at the
stage where that portion of it still
unharvested will suffer greatly from
too much additional rain.
Curings so far have been largely
of first primings, and are turning out
a fairly good quality of leaf. Improve
ment of the crop in the field in the
past few weeks has been so marked
that present prospects indicate fair
quality of about the same quantity as
last year. Stands which at first were
very uneven still show some signs of
the several paintings necessary n
growing fields, but the difference is
not so pronounced as was the case at
one time.
Growers in this section have been
much encouraged of late by the good
prices being paid in the Georgia and
South Carolina tselts, which have al
ready started their seasons. The gen.
eral expectation is for satisfaction
season here, and farmers and business
people alike look for prices that will
be fairly satisfactory.
