Morganatic, Eh?

We German people here and
abroad hope that Barbara Hut
ton will marry an English earl
after shedding her Danish count
and will not marry Prince Fred
erick of Prussia.
We are very proud OF the
royal House of Hohenzollern,
though it is out of power at the
present time. Frederick should
follow in the footsteps of his
brother, Prince Louis Ferdinand.
and marry a princess of royal
blood, not a commoner.

Oh, the Army's Gone to-!

TVHERE is nothing so devastating or complete the
i contempt of the old man-at-arms for the recently
Joined recruit And the sufferngs of the latter un-
fortunate are indeed fearsome until at long last the
glad morning dawns when the veteran takes down the
bars and yes the duckboards: "Howya Soldier"
Those of us therefore who have been through this sort
of thing can readily sympathze with Colonel Jim Han
cock age 1O4, who went AW OIL. from the Gettysburg
reunion a few days ago. The colonel who fought from
1914 to 1884, got what he calls "a belyfu of talk from
young soldiers in their eighties and nnetes.
They bored him. he declared, because they had only
one war to talk about whereas he could discuss earnedy
on halfa-dozen campaigns But they wouldn't let him

How long will the business
men of the nation stand for the
one-sided, arbitrary, and tyran-
nous action of the National
Labor Relations Board? The
law under which it was created
and operates is the most damna-
BILE, undemocratic, despicable,
and communistic piece Of legis-
lation ever put upon the statute
books of a civilized people; and
worse still is being administered
by a bunch of ignorant, fanati-

devoid of all sense of justice and

answer by taking trip about this

real basic wealth. The paper dollars pass around
merely counters.
Through some defect in our system which hasn't been
spotted yet paperdoar counters aren't circulating

Great Danes

I read with a great deal Of
pleasure DR.. Bosley'S article on
the Great Dane in one of your
last weeks issues of the Times.
For the past Is years I have
raised and judged these big fel-
lows, and it was most refreshing
to read something about them

GEO. A. COULON.
The Washington times., 1938-07-12

these instruments OF noise and
torture. Frequently there are
no other musical instruments
in the organization.
Ten thousand of these drums
being whanged-without rhyme,
note or reason-by ten thousand
Orangemen, all of them drunk
as Galway fiddlers, bring about
a noise for which there is no
adequate description in words.
You've got to hear it-and once
will be enough.
The goatskin sides Of these
drums are spattered literally
with dark stains-and no lodge
dare enter an Orange procession
until its drums have been prop
erly "blooded."
THE initial ceremony takes
l. place on the first lodge night
after a new pair Of instruments
have been presented to, or
bought by, the lodge. Usually
their cost comes out Of the
pocket of a man running for
Parliament, for mayor, for city
council, or public office Of some
other sort.
The lodge marches out onto
the city boulevard, the town
street, the village road, or the
country lane. The drums are
hung on the necks Of the two
newest members of the organi-
zation. In their, hands are thin
bamboo whangees with which
they batter at the parchment
sides-without a thought Of
rhythm.
Wrists strike on the wooden
sides of the drums at every
blow and, at last. flesh is cut
and blood splaShes the parch-
ment. The drums are "blooded"
but the ceremony is only be-
ginning. In reverse order Of
seniority the members Of the
lodge take their turns at whang-
ing the drums as they march
along-and desiSt only when
they have split both wrists suf-
ficiently to leave a good few
drops of their life's fluid on the
drum.
NEEN have been known to
AVA sever arteries and bleed to
death during this phantastic
savage ceremony. But no un-
blooded drum can be beaten in
the parades that are a feature
in Ulster today during the cele-
bration of William Of Oranges
victory over Catholic King
James the Second. at the Boyne
River, two hundred and fifty
years ago.
Indeed the scant two cen
turies and a half Of time that
has passed should call for much
more blood on the drums today
and many more broken heads
on the Falls Road tonight.

De Poos Remarked
This Morning

DR.. Julio D Poo and Mrs. De
Poo were married this morning
in the offices of Judge Raymond
r. Lord at the county courthouse.
This is the second marriage of the
couple.
In 1885 they were married in
Cuba, following a divorce secured
by the doctor from his former
wife, after which they came to
Key West and established their
home.
After three years, DR.. and Mrs.
De Poo learned that the Cuban
divorce was not legal in Florida
because of their not having had it
recorded in the office of the
American consul in Cuba, there
fore a second marriage was con-
sidered necessary to legalize the
union in Florida.
Doctor De Poo obtained Sec
ond and legal divorce from his
former wife last week in Miami,
and the second wedding with
Mrs. De Poo was performed in
Key West today.
