Vacant Chairs at Sandringham.
This Christmas at Sandringham
there will be vacant chairs, as there
were last year and the year before.
Two years ago this month the man
who Is now Duke of Windsor left
his country and his throne and has
never returned. But next. Christmas
he will be at Sandringham. He is
plnlng to come back: and now that
the country needs him he has at last
been invited to return. He refuses
TO come until his wife is granted the
title OF Her Royal Highness. Queen
Mary and King George are anxious
that the title be granted; and it
seems. certain that next year Queen
Mary will have her eldest son and
an American daughter-i in law at her
CHRISTMAS feast. Queen Mary and
the Duke OF Windsor have written
10 each other every week for nearly
year.

musical comedies Her preferred
reading is historical novels. Princess
Elizabeth already has passion for
love stories when she can get hold
of them, which isn't often. Both
princesses are as interested in other
children in Disney characters. and
are allowed to see one Mickey Mouse
film a week. Princess Elizabeth is
sending her friends this year a
Christmas card decorated with
Mickeys and Donald Ducks.
Unlike the royal Windsors into
whose house she married. the Queen
has no passion for collecting, though
she now has seven albums full of
snapshots of her daughters taken by
the King and herself. She also has
priceless collection of Kashmir
shaWls. These shaWls come to her
every year as part of treaty made
by the British Empire nearly CEN
tury ago. In 1845 the Maharajah of
Kashmir was forced to acknowledge
British sovereignty, and the token
of allegiance to England was to be

On Christmas Day at Sandring-

on the great estate eat the turkey

master, the princesses and their
cousins of Kent and Lascelles will
shout and laugh and dance with joy

If anything, though, they'll have less
fun than your children, because even
on Christmas Day princesses do as
their nurses say. In fact, Princess
Elizabeth is behind with her French
lessons and has to study even during
the holidays this year. So she wrote

the magnificent consistory chamber

merous other prelates and digni-
taries of his court. 1t was believed
the pontiff was working on the ad-
dress when he collapsed with a
heart attack that caused fears for
his life early this month.
That, perhaps, was the signifl-
canoe of a remark that he had Of
fered his life for Italys internal
peace and prosperity. In a broad
cast just before the September 20
Munich agreement on the division
of Czecho-Slovakia he said he had
offered it for peace.
Pope Plus disclosed that "vexa-
tions" against his beloved Catholic
Action had been reported to him,
particularly from Venice, Turin,
Bergamo and Milan. In Milan,
where the Holy Father was Arch
bishop before he was elected Pope
February 6, 1922, he indicated Ilde-
fonso Cardinal Schuster, Archbishop
of Milan, had been bothered because
of sermon, of which the Pope ap-
proved. against new Italian racial
doctrines.
Prays for Enlightenment.
The Holy Father prayed that
minds be enlightened and hearts
moved to truth and justice. He
wished Italy internal peace and
prosperity, recalling his first ency-
clical, which was a plea for that
peace to which he dedicated his
pontiflcate.
Until the Pope today accused high
circles of secretly keeping mis-
treatment" of Catholic Action alive
it had been assumed that differ
ences between the church and Fas-
cism over that organization had
been settled.
Fascists had accused Catholic
Action of sheltering anti-Fascist ac-
tivity by former members of the
defunct Popular party, which was
composed largely of Catholic left
lists opposed-to Fascism in the early
days and was suppressed by Pre-
mier Mussolini.

 More than 3.0OO.00O, ,OO0 coffee trees, three-fifths of all there are In the world. are troubling Brazil today. In the last crop year this nation alone produced 100000 more bags than the world con- stunned. So the burning started back in 1881 continues, and is likely to continue for many sea- sons.
 Since the desperate growers set fire to their surplus stocks in 1881 upwards of 60.000,00O bags have been destroyed. The stand- ard bag of coffee weighs 132 pounds. So statisticians have fig- nred that upwards of 10000, ,000,- poo cups of the steaming drink have evaporated into the skies.
 UnsuccesSfully, Brazilians first tried dumping their stocks into liae ocean. later pressed the coffee Deans into bricks to be used as fuel for locomotives and utility plants or as roadbed materials Some of the ash is now being used as fertilizer on Brazilian farms But in any event the problem goes unsoIved.
