He said further that she has enough income from Bar rymores $860 a month alimony and other sources to hire five servants.

Thirty=fve Supernumer= aries Will Be Added; 25
 New Regulars Named

Appointment of approximately 35 new supernumerary police is the next step awaiting action by the board of police commissioners. Naming of these supernumeraries would bring the police department personnel up to it's legal limit in the number Of officers, patrolmen and supernumeraries.
 The board of police commission CTS, which met in an adjourned meeting yesterday to name 25 new regular patrolmen, holds a regular meeting tomorrow afternoon. Ac- ton on the appointment of the ad- ditional supernumeraries is possible at that time, but may be delayed pending further consideration.
 All Were Promoted
 All 25 men named as patrolmen yesterday were promoted from the supernumerary ranks. leaving 25 vacancies. In addition there are about 10 other vacancies in this classification. The city charter sets the maximum number of supernum- erary policemen at 100.
 Police Superintendent William J. Roach said today that the rest of the department has reached its legal limit of A officers and 139 patrol men. Appointment of the 25 new patrolmen brought the number of such policemen exactly to 139. There are likewise, he said, no vacancies in officers posts.

Mayor Hayes May Use His Veto Once More
Same Old Resolution About Investigating All City Depts. Went Through-G. 0. P. Men Forget
 to Name Committee

Again, and using the same reso- lution which once before had been vetoed by Mayor Frank Hayes. Republican aldermen attempted to delegate power last night to com- mittee to investigate all city departments" then voted to ad- journ before Aldermanic President Patrick M. Perriello, Republican, had time to appoint such a com- mittee. Whether this was, as Re- publican members pointed out, strategy, or ineptitude in the mat ter of parliamentary procedure which burgeoned through the eve- ming from the Grand Old Party representatives, remained to be de- veloped today. The Republicans held that President Perriello could make such appointments after the board had adjourned. This would mean that City Clerk John P. Fitzmaurice, who said he could not include ap- pointments the aldermanic chief wanted to make after the meeting, in the minutes last night, will be given a committee list today and will notify members.
 Fuss And Feathers
 The fuss and feathers of last nights meeting in final phase %ill devolve upon the mayor, however who, it is anticipated, will be told of ample infractions in procedure which will warrant repetition of his veto. Thus, point of the verbal war fare waged by Republicans to the cacophony of mixed applause and laughter, Republican. union and Democratic, may be waited away or the political breeze, to be absorbed by the grand jury which, report has 1t, already has summoned one Re- publican member of the board whc nz

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Gone are the days when Henry, the 37-year-old Duke of Gloucester could live his own life and remain so little known the public that often he was dubbed he mystery man" of Brit ish royalty.
 Actually, the closest the duke ever got to mystery was in book. He eats up mystery stories.
 He always was a shy. retiring fellow who disliked public appear ances and got out of them when ever he could.
 That's All Over
 The exception in the navy-minded Windsor household, Gloucester all ways was the soldier prince. He was immensely happy as real profes- sional soldier who had worked his way to majorship in the Tenth Hussars.
 But that's all changed No longer is the duke unrecognized when he appears in public. The duke goes here, the duke goes there, and the great white light of publicity beats on him almost as brilliantly as it does on the king.
 It all started when Edward walked out, leaving the royal fami- ly short-handed. Every remaining man was expected to do his duty So Gloucester pronounced Gloster with the 70" as in Oscar) and the Duke of Kent were compelled to drop everything and take some of the royal chores off the new kings heavily-laden shoulders.
 Gloucester is third in line of succession to the throne He follows Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret Rose, daughters Of the king and queen.
 Had Tasted Fame
 For Gloucester, who loved the army and prided himself on being the only member of the royal fami- ly with regular job" it was a tough break.
 He knew what he was getting into, for he had had taste of it when the late King George V be- came seriously i'll in 1929.
 News of the illness, incidentally, reached Gloucester who is the kings third son, while he was deep in the African jungle on hunting

 He's a fine figure of a mana six footer with broad shoulders with a Germanic cast of countenance He has a quick mind and keen wit. He was educated at Eton and at Trinity College, Cambridge. He joined the 10th Royal Hussars (the Prince of Wales Own) in 1921.
 He has been mentioned several times for the governorships of South Africa or northern Ireland, but he has stuck to his soldering.
 His enthusiastic interest in sports and an outdoor life was the com mon ground on which he met and in 1885 married Lady Alice Mon- Douglas Scott, 36 year old daughter of a wealthy old Scotch family They have no children. They settled down in the royal pavilion at Aldershot and he con- tinued his military studies at the staff college He was a popular of- ficer and well on the way to con- mand of his regiment when the shifting royal scene forced him to leave the army.
 Now he's back in London, living in York House. going places with the duchess except in recent weeks when a minor operation forced hel to take rest

CONGRESS BALKS

iCONGRESS BALkS
 We asked the Department how it distinguished between the nudes in our copies and the almost-but-not- quite nudes which often decorate the covers of several types of story magazines. A Department official told us that the Department is a little lenient about covers but it cer- tainly turns scathing eye on naughtiness on the inside pages. But not all magazines with semi draped girls on the front cover get through the Department. An of- ficial told us they had knocked out certain of the magazine naughties so often that their publishers were not trying to use the mails any more but were distributing them in bulk by other means. He said some might be using express.
 There is law against shipping such stuff by express, but it differs from the postal law. The Depart ment of Justice may punish ex- press violators after shipment has been made, but there is no machin- cry for throwing the publication out before they reach their market. as there is in the Post Office De- partment.
 The Post Office Department does not seem disposed to revise its pol icy with regard to policing the mails in pursuit of matter it calls inde- cent, but Congress evidences less enthusiasm. The House knocked out Department request for three dozen extra inspectors to help in the police work.
