England adopts King George
after One Year Trial Period
Film Monarch Shows
Mettle During Era
of Tribulation
Bv JOSEPH w. LaBINE

Engishmen everywhere this
month are opening their eyes
from a 12-month dream. The
dream began May II, 1887,
when King George VI and
Queen Elizabeth assembled the
British throne in colorful coro-
nation ceremonies.
! The dream has been sweet
one, for few Britishers expected
affairs of state to run so smooth
ly as they have the past year,
nor could anyone have pre-
dicted on the day romantic
King Edward VIII abdicated
that his ittle-known brother
would soon displace him in
England's heart.
Through year marked by
bitter international strife in
which the empire has more
than once been threatened,
King George, Queen Elizabeth
and their two charming prin-
cess daughters have done their
job well.
That job is not to rule, for
Britain's monarchy isn't con-
stituted that way. Instead the
royal family's job is one of
craftsmanship, for it is freely
admitted that loyalty to the
crown is the biggest bulwark
against dissolution of the
British empire. Today that
loyalty is stronger than at
any point since Edwards
abdication, though even then few
Englishmen were worried.
The story is told about a foggy
night during Britain's supposedly
clark hour in December, 1886,
when Edward was making up his
mind to surrender the throne for
"the woman I love-" From placards
of news vendors in the street came
the awful statement:
"ENGLAND'S COLLAPSE"
Startled foreigners saw in this
announcement an immediate col
lapse of English monarchy, but Lon
doners knew it was something even
worse-the English cricket team
was losing to the Australians.
Judging from its present populari-
ty, the British royal family could
be displaced by nothing short of
another World war which would
probably bring a socialist govern
ment. The issue of republicanism
as opposed to England's present
form of government came to the
front only once after George vi
mounted the throne. That was when
James Maxton, Independent Labor
lite, wondered publicly in the house
of commons how Twentieth-century
Britain could "believe that the mon
archy had some intelligent justifica-
ton as a government force"
This happened during debate on
the regency bill shortly after Ed.
wards abdication. The final vote,
indicating how England feels about
its royalty, was 305 to /.

popularity is story of constant

How Blood Is Constructed

If you should examine a
drop of blood under the micro
scope, you would observe that
it is composed of red cells and
white cells. In normal blood
there are about Is million
times a million red blood corpus
cles, owing their color to the IRON

Lack of Iron May Lead to Anemio

In many young people the blood
does not function normally, though
frequently parents are unaware
that anything is wrong. You may
scold them for being lazy, for
lacking interest in their work, or
never needing the things you tell
them, when the real trouble is due
to iron starvation which, if long
continued. may lead to anemia.
The person who has a tendency
toward anemia usually tires cas-
lily and lacks pep; complains OF
cold hands and feet; worries over
trifes, and may have complex
ion that is anything but rosy.
The great danger Of an IRON
deficient diet is that it deprives
the body of its chief defense
against disease. For when the
quality of the blood is poor, one
becomes an easy prey to infection.
Moreover, if a serious illness &C.
ours, lowered resistance makes it
difficult to fight it off.

Fire-walkers of southern India

their feet.

H OFT ASSAILS
HOUSING PLAN
in AIR DEBATE
Thomas of Utah Backs
New Deal Spending

President Roosevelt's plan to ex
pand the 500 million dollars low
cost housing and slum-clearance
program, last night, in turn was
assailed as wasteful spending and
advocated as a vital element In
the recovery drive and in raising
living standards.
The proposal was aired In q
radio debate between Senators FL
bert D. Thomas Cd, of Utah,
New Deal stalwart and chairman
Of the Senate Education and La.
Dor Committee, and Rush D. Holt
Cd, of West Virginia, consistent
Administration foe and large-scale
spending critic.
Thomas urged approval of the
Senate bill, now before his commit
tee, which would double the pres.
emit program and eliminate a re.
quirement that local communities
provide 10 per cent of project
costs. President Roosevelt, in his
special message to Congress pro.
posing the gigantic Spend-lend pro
gram, asked for only a 800 million
dollar boost. The House Banking
and Currency Committee, in re-
porting the bill, stuck to the PreSi-
dents figure.
100000 JOBS -
Thomas declared the expanded
program would mean jobs for 60O,-
10000, 900 on project sites and
400, 900 in indirect employment
and bring healthful and whole
some living conditions to 200, 900
families"
He said eliminating the 10 per
cent local burden and authorizing
the Federal Government to make
100 per cent loans would accelerate
the program materially and re-
duce interest rates by overcoming
confusion incident to two
agencies competing to raise the
same amount Of capital often from
the same sources"
HOLT RAPs COST
Holt, while proclaiming himself
in accord with eliminating SlumS,
declared the housing program has
lacked coordination and is dis.
tributed in many agencies and bu.
reaus." He cited statistics to show
Government housing projects cost
more to build than private ones
Ironically, as q case in point
Holt turned to the subsistence
homestead projects at Arthurdale.

said, was $1S,343.42.
