WINDSOR PLANS
EXCITE COAST

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Z ON
s).-society circles buzzed with
excitement today over confirma-
ton of a report that a representa-
tive of the Duke and Duchess OF
Windsor is negotiating for a lease
on the 5O-acre peninsula estate OF
the late Leon F. Douglass. noted
inventor.
Mrs. Lawton Langdon. Doug
lass daughter, confirmed the re-
port.
"The talk is Of a lease only"
she said, correcting previous re-
ports in society circles that the
Duke and his American-born
Duchess might purchase the es-
tate, one of the show places OF
Menlo Park.
If the lease is negotiated, the
royal couples immediate neigh
bors will be Sir Thomas Hughes,
British nobleman, and Lady
Hughes. Sir Thomas, retired
Australian industrialist, once was
Lord Mayor of Sydney. Lady
Hughes, widow of the late Robert
S. Moore, married Sir Thomas in
New York in 1886.

Eagle for Butler;
What to Do With It

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Cen.
Smedley D. Butler is getting an
eagle. 1t was shipped by e. N
Fogelman, OF Scottsbluff, Neb.,
who said he has meant to send the
general an eagle for several years,
but just got around to doing it.
It's alive, has a seven-foot wing
spread and was in a vile humor
when it left Scottsbluff.
Butler isn't at home and his
household staff is worried. Nobody
here knows what to do about
eagles.

 Fl PaSo, Tex, Feb. 1-(UP)-I seldom grow indignant, and never did I think I could become indig- nant while eating tamaleS, frijoles, medudo, and enchiladas on the banks of the Rio Grande.
 But I did today when my secre- tary Ca clean-cut young Syrian named Henry McLemore) read me my morning mail. With the excep- ton of few bills, my mail con- sisted entirely of letters from read CTS upbraiding me for the two stories I wrote on Jim Bradodck, before Jim defeated Tommy Farr in a heavyweight fight in New York.
 When say "upbraid" am using a mild term which will get by in family newspapers. Because my readers heaped every accepted form of abuse on my head. A typical par agraph from a typical letter fol- lows: 50 you say Braddock is through. Huh? You're not finished because you've never been any place. You are Americas worst sports writer-and even that is paying you a compliment"
 Hot Stuff
 read about three dozen of these outburstS and did everything l could to keep from getting mad. l counted to ten. I doused by head with cool tequila. Walked around my chair three times and would have made a fourth trip had not the manager of the establishment which I was in, warned me that car Tier pigeons were not allowed to eat there. In an effort to keep control of myself, I reasoned something like this:
 Now listen, McLempre, readers are very scarce. They ale to be treas ured and protected. You have so few that you should send them warm things in winter to wear. Rub their chests when croup attacks them, warn them against crossing streets against the lights, and see that they see their dentist twice year. Read CTS, McLemore, are your bread and butter. To them you owe everything, including that shock of gray hair you wear on your head. So don't get mad, even if they write letters that drip with venom.
 I had just about convinced myself that the readers were right when my secretary Ca Soft-Spoken Maine cod. fisherman named Henry Mo Lemore) laid the morning papers before me. In them I read that James Jay Braddock had retired; that he had retired because he be- lieved he was finished as a fighter, and that another bout would jeo- pardize his health.
 In announcing his retirement, Braddock used almost the same words had used week earlier in suggestions that he was foolish to tight Farr, lousy fighter as the Welshman was.
 Boomerang
 All of sudden I saw red. Not Red" Grange, because he is miles away, but just plain red, It made me sore to think that I had been second-gueSsed when was right all along. I told my readers Brad- dock should quit. They poured acid on my head and said was dope and zanie.
 He quits for just the reason that I advanced.
 Donald Duck never was madder than was right then. There on the banks of the Rio Grande. My hat flew off. My ears Tapped. jumped up and down.
 Then I called for typewriter.
 The maitre d'hotel said they were just out of typewriters.
 I said get me one, anyhow.
 He did.
 I wrote.
