"A serious genuine interest In

"In the past there has been
little attention paid by the pub

a matter of greatest interest.

LONDON, May 11.-London is
like a city in fairy tale.
It's a gilded town, its streets
bright, filled with color and bursts
Of music place of scarlet and
gold, blue-garlanded with flowers
and alive with romance.
Royalty rides everywhere and
excited visitors, especially Ameri-
cans, are playing a new game:
Finding the Royal Family"
They wait at the Pail Mall gates,
the Buckingham Palace doors and
at Westminster Abbey, and cheer
when they see King George, Queen
Elizabeth or the duchesses.
Clothes Chief Topic
Tonight the town will stay up
late. Some jewellers are celebrat-
ing with all-night "let's-Stay-up-
until-the-procession-startS" parties.
No one talks anything but coro-
nation and none Of the feminine
half Of London society talks OF
anything but coronation clothes.
The Duchess of Kent spent thou
sands Of pounds for her coronation
season wardrobe and has outdone
even the expectations of Mayfair.
For the last three weeks the
glamour girl" of the royal family
has been appearing in public
everywhere and has not worn
the same gown twice.
Last week she started fad by
wearing diamond stars in her hair
with white evening gowns. All the
noble ladies will be craning their
necks in the Abbey to see Marina's
coronation gown which is Of price
less gold brocade woven in a
feather pattern.

Queen Elizabeth'S dress will be
Of ivory and silver under q royal
purple robe to show up her dark
hair, fair skin and lovely coloring.
Queen Mother Mary's gold lame
gown is embroidered with crystals
and diamonds to match her dia-
rlond diadem.
Almost every gown in the abbey
will glitter with jewels. The Ouch
ess of Gloucester's gown is en-
crusted with pearls and diamonds
and the 10 Marchioness Milford

Worse Teamwork
Shown by Baseball
Bosses Than Help
g New York Post.-wNU Service.

GO MANY things are being blamed
- upon the weather nowadays that
it is a relief to consider Brooklyn's
Dodgers. Since those athletes prob
ably would continue to drop deci-
sions even il they were performing
within the shadow of the South pole,
this collection of logic is dedicated
to persistent customers who annual
ly must be beset by chills while the
heat is being turned on elsewhere.
Plainly, what is wrong with the
Dodgers-as well as with such bet
ter favored clubs as the Red Sox
and the 1ndians-is that even worse
teamwork is displayed by the bosses
than by the hired help. Until the
front offices can be made to under
stand the necessity for cooperation
as well as for sustained and in
telligent planning, World series
must continue to be played at the
Polo grounds, at Yankee stadium.

spots.

fees. There is such an abundance of
managers-both Of the business and
field variety-that there is no real
central authority.

osition. He might ride in on the
backwash, which would be even
nicer than steering a tidal wave for
somebody else.
Political observers have a name
for this. They call it sending up
a balloon" It's an apt smile, a
balloon being a fiimsy thing, full
of hot air, and when it scars aloft
nobody knows where it will come
down-if at all. 1t lacks both steer
ing gears and terminal facilities.
There have been cases when the
same comparison might have been
applied not alone to the balloon
but to the gentleman who launched
it.
So let's remain calm. It's tradi-
tional in our history that no presi-
dent ever had to 60 ballooning in Or
der to find out how the wind blew
and that no volunteer third-term
boomer ever succeeded in taking
the trip himself.

~ After a president has been
reelected it's certain that some

from his cell with a terrible yell
to proclaim that unless the
adored incumbent consents
again to succeed himself this
nation is doomed.

confusion, of course, is nothing new
in this combination of sport and
business that is called baseball. For
instance, there are the White Sox.
When the lamented Charles Comis-
key was in his prime the team
made money and won pennants. AS
he became older he slipped into
mingling of uncertainty and stub
bornness that caused him to lean too
heavily upon poorly equipped vol
unteer advisers. For years then,
and after his death, the White Sox
neither made money nor won PEN
nants. Now a happy understanding
between field and office is bringing
success again.
There also are the Giants. For
almost twenty-five years John ].
McGraw was the supreme authority
and the club was one of basebalPs
grandest successes. Then some of
the players discovered that it was
not impossible to go over the cold
Mans" head. The next pennant was
not won until Bill Terry, who would
not accept the job until granted full
and unquestioned control, had be-
come manager.
Other examples bob quickly to
mind. Bucky Harris, who managed
two pennant-winning teams under
the overlordship of Clarke Griffith
in Washington, was not a success
in Boston. Marty McManus, for
many reasons very popular with the
fans, was separated from Red Sox
managerial duties ahead of Harris.
During the several seasons since he
has taken over the same rap, Joe
Cronin may have yearned for the
peaceful days when he merely had
to fight over signs and trades with
his father-in-law.
Similarly, there is Cleveland. Billy
Evans, the business manager, and
Walter Johnson, the manager, had
a pretty time there, while pennant
dreams faded in the heat of their
feud. Then a new business manager
and new manager drew the black
spots. The quarrels have been no
less entertaining and destructive.
And meanwhile the Yankees, ruled
by Ed Barrow, and the Tigers, di-
rected by Mickey Cochrane, con-
tinue to cash World Series checks.
In mentioning this, though, have
no desire to be unkind to the various
gentlemen who have devoted their
years - at salaries considerably
more handsome than the results?-
to the executive end of the game.
/ merely am stating facts that are
very well known to any one who
ever has poked an inquisitive nose
into major league dugout.
That these facts always include
the case of club precariously guild
ed by two discordant sets of direc-
tors, a bank, a business manager,
a probate court, manager, club
house janitor, pitcher and an in
fielder does not particularly disturb
me now. Neither does the fact that
the club, because of poor deals or
lack of any deals, is going nowhere
this season or next.
They have been touting John Mon
tague, the mystery man of Holly
wood, as the greatest golfer who
ever lived. Tales of the mythical
62's and 63's that he shoots have
been sung in countless locker rooms.
They have been limiting that he is
coming East this summer to play
with Dan Topping against Bobby
Grant and Tommy Tailor on Long
Island.

Modern Prairie Schooners.

.WERE certainly returning -
w with modern improvements
to prairie schooner days when rest
less Americans are living on wheels
and housekeeping on wheels and
having babies on wheels. Only the
other day twins were born aboard
a trailer. And-who knows?-per-
haps right now the stork, with
future president in her beak, is flap
ping fast, trying to catch up with
somebody's perambulating bunga-
low.
So it's fitting moment to revive
the story of early Montana when
some settlers were discussing the
relative merits of various makes of
those canvas-covered arks which
bore such hosts of emigrants west
ward. They named over the Cones
toga, the South Bend, the Murphy,
the Studebaker and various others.
From under her battered sunbon-
net there spoke up a weather beaten
old lady who, with her husband and
her growing brood, had spent the
long years humping along behind an
OK team from one frontier camp to
another.

Pugs Versus Statesmen.
IT'S confusing to read that poor
decrepit Jim Braddock, having
reached the advanced age of thirty
four or Whereabouts, is all washed
up, and, then, in another column,
to discover that the leading candi-
dates to supply young blood on the
Supreme court bench are but bound
ing juveniles of around sixty-six.
This creates doubt in the mind Of
a fellow who, let us say, is quite
a few birthdays beyond that en-
gendered wreck, Mr.. Braddock, yet
still has a considerable number of
years to go before he'll be an agile
adolescent like some senators. He
can't decide whether he ought to
join the former at the old mems
home or enlist with the latter in the
Boy Scouts.
Quiescent Major Generals.
COMETHING has gone out of life.
- For months now no general of
the regular army, whether retired
or detailed to a civilian job, has
talked himself into a jana rasp-
berry jam, if you want to make
a cheap pun Of it.
Maybe it's being officially gagged
for so long while on active service
that makes such a conversational
Tessie out of the average brigadier
when he goes into private pursuits
and lets his hair down. It's
as though he took off his tact along
with his epaulettes. And when he
subsidies there's always another to
take his place.
You see, under modern warfare
the commanding officer is spared.
He may lead the retreat, but never
the charge. When the boys go over
the top is he out in front waving a
sword? Not so you'd notice it. By
the new rules he's signing papers
in bombproof nine miles behind
the lines and about the only peril
he runs is from lack of exercise in
the fresh air.
May be, in view of what so often
happens when peace ensues, we
should save on privates instead of
generals.

learning are found in Wisconsin.
The first white men to gather
information in this region, were
explorers there early in the 18th
century. The first permanent
white settlement occurred in 1869
at the time Joliet and Marquette
iourneyed across the state. The
treaty of Paris gave this territory
TO Great Britain in 1863. while
1922 marks the first real begin

Other rural schools, excepting
Balfour, opened last Monday.
The public schools are furnish
inc free books to the elementary
grades for the first time this
year. The pupils will furnish
their pencils, pens, ink, note pa
per and supplementary reading
books, the latter to be furnished
on a rental basis of so cents per
pupil for the first and second
grades, 60 cents for the third,
fourth and fifth grades, and 70
cents for the sixth and seventh
grades. There will be six readers
for the first grade and three for
each of the other grades through

shortage of timber found due to
wasteful extravaganza in the
matter of cutting timber. In this
connection. let us say that our
country could do well to copy the
method employed by Germany
and other European countries,
whereby they make it mandatory
that anyone cutting down or
otherwise destroying a tree, must
see to it that another is planted
in it's place. Had our forefathers
done this, there would be little
need of forestry planting today,
to such large eXtentS as are being
recommended.

Wisconsin are practically non-eX-

ficient form of shipping. "In
1881 there were 1899 miles of
steam railways and S35 miles of
electric railways in the state"
The state maintains some $3.50
miles of highways, exclusive of
those found in cities and towns.
Thirty-six thousand five hundred
and eighty miles are hard surfac-

ports in the state are: Ashland,

Seven thousand four hundred

cipal forms of manufactures are:
