Queen Mary, Busier Than Ever At 72, Finds Self The Most Popular Woman In Britain
BY MILTON BRONNER YEA Service Stan Correspondent

NEA Service stan COrreSpOnuehs
 I,ondon, May 24.-Queen Mary most popular woman in Great Bri- tain.
 The crowds which assemble to cheer her wherever she goes, the ap- plause in the movie theaters when her picture is shown on the screen, all go to prove 1t.
 "The grand old trooper" as she has been called, will celebrate her 72nd birthday on May 26. Two years past the Biblical three score and ten, Queen Mary shows no sign of slowing down. In fact, if anything, she is even more ac- tive than when her husband, the late King George Fifth, was still alive.
 And 1t Is not as if life had been all velvet for her. Within the compass of one short year Fate hit her two very hard blows. On January 20, 1886, she lost her husband, after more than AZ years of happy marriage and close companionship. In Decem- Der of the same year her eldest son, King Edward VIII, abdicated the throne and went into volun- tary exile.
 SAW THE CROWNS
 PRESTIGE LOWERED
 Queen Mary was quick to sense the blow this had struck at the prestige and glamor that surrounded the throne. She realized how pop ular figure her eldest son had been, how ready speaker. how good a mixer. More than anybody, she knew the handicaps her second son, now King George VI, would have to Surmount. She threw her. self into the breach and took a leading part in everything royalty could do. At the same time, she did not dream of overshadowing the young royal couple.
 Tn the past year she has been a consistent attendant at movies. She has gone to many theatrical shows. She has heard good mu- sic at many concerts. Her pat ronage is a gold mine for the movie or theatrical production she attends. It is about the best ad- vertisement the attraction can re- ceive. Most of the time, especially with the movies, Queen Mary at- tends a premiere where tickets are sold in terms of dollars rather than of cents.

Stratford-on-Avon Still
Magnet for Americans

Unperturbed by the Shakespeare
Bacon controversy and its period
ical revivals, the American visitor
to Standardization, Shakespeare's
birthplace, approaches not in con-
troversial spirit, but with zeal and
reverence. The number Of visitors
increases annually, and the pro-
portion of Americans increases in
proportion with the general total. The
overseas tourist goes to Stratford
as certainly as he goes to Westmin-
ster abbey, the Tower of London,
or the National gallery.
Shakespeare's house is in excel
lent preservation. It was restored
in 1847, and the work was done with
such care that the timber frame
work remains unaltered, and the
place must bear a close resemblance
to that in which the poet resided.
The ground floor contains living
room, kitchen, and a smaller room;
up one flight of stairs is shown ''the
room in which Shakespeare was
born" A few chairs, a table, and
bust Of the poet furnish this room.
There is an ancient fireplace and
a timbered ceiling reminiscent Of
his time.
The walls are virtually covered
with the signatures of visitors
Scott, Carlisle, Thackeray, Brown
ing, and many others-but this trib-
ute is no longer allowed. Here also
is Shakespeare museum, in
which there are many memorials,
including early editions Of the plays,
the Ely portrait and manuscripts
addressed to the poet. The garden
contains flowers and trees men.

Once Barbaric Words
Now in Common Usage

There was a period in the early
days of the United States when
American writer's shivered with
fright at the thought of what critics
writing in English literary publica-
tions would have to say about the
latest 'barbarisms" inflicted upon
the mother tongue by their New
world cousins.
AS the new republic grew in size,
population and achievements in the
field of letters this tendency to re-
gard the mother English as more
respectable" language decreased.
Today it was given further scholar
ly reputation in the sixth section Of
the New American English diction-
airy by the University Of Chicago
Press.
For example, the word "cow-
catcher" which not so many years
ago would have caused any right
thinking Englishman of letters to
tear his hair out with cries of rage,
is now accepted as a practical ex-
ample Of the compounding of words
by Americans. "Cowcatcher," which
appears in the newly issued section
of the dictionary is, it was pointed
out, a word associated with sheep,
pigs, horses and bulls, as well as
cows, and it does not "catch," but
rather ''brushes aside"
Trends in the origin of words and
word combinations of strictly Amer
lean vintage, revealed in sections
previously published, show patterns
which make American" compare
favorably and with no need to blush,
according to scholars compiling the
work. The new section starts with
"corn pitt and ends with "dew."
The dictionary is being completed
at the rate of about four sections a
year under the editorship of Sir Will
liam Craigie, co-editor of the famed
Oxford English dictionary, and
James B. Hubert, professor of Eng
fish at the University of Chicago.
They are aided by trained corps
of research workers.

INCREASES M rEACHEtss' pAY

An advance Of 600 per cent. in
teachers salaries and in high-school
enrolment In the State schools, ex-
Guiding Baltimore, has been made
since the last comprehensive survey
in 1915.
DIR. Thomas G.. Pullen, assistant
State superintendent in administers
ton of the State Department of
Health, pointed out this progress to
the State Parent Teachers Confer
ence at Towson.
In 1915, salaries were from $271
to $662 year for teachers In the
State school system, he said, while
under the new salary plan, passed by
the 1899 Legislature, teachers with
the degrees Of bachelor of arts or of
bachelor of science in education will
receive from $1,000 to $1,000 an
nually.
In that period the enrolment in
the State high schools has increased
from $500 pupils and 221 teachers
to more than $4,000 pupils and L.
500 teachers, he added.
DR.. Pullen explained that one of
the most important factors in this
Improvement was the far better
training of the teachers. In 1915 five
per cent. of the elementary school
teachers had two or three years of
standard normalschool training.
Now more than ninety-eight per
cent. have 1T.
Only forty per cent. of the high
school teachers in 1915 had college
degrees. Now nearly one hundred per
cent. have diplomas from standard
institutions.
Another development has been the
reduction of the one-teacher school,
according to DR.. Pullen. In 1914,
nearly half of the teachers in the
county schools were the only in
structors in their small schools.
At present, he continued, there
are 287 one-teacher schools for Neg
roes, and 231 for white pupils. There
are 179 high schools in the counties
and hundreds of elementary schools
under the present system.

patron members of Southern States
Cooperative during July and Aug
ust, based on two and one-half
percent dividend ON purchases, de-
clared by the executive committee
of the Board of Directors of South

Pylesville, Maryland, president of
the organization, has announced.
The executive committee met in
Richmand on June IA to consider
the vote of some 1000 members of
the local boards throughout the
operating territory in regard to the
payment of dividend.
In addition to this patronage
dividend on purchases, the annual

Short-sight Aids Aiming

Short-sighted rif1emen usually are
more successful shots than those
who are far-sighted, observes the
Better Vision institute. This is be-
cause of the difficulty of the far
sighted person to focus correctly on
the front sight, leading to inaccura-
cy in aiming. While they can see
their target clearly, far-sighted
marksmen sometimes make errors
in sighting of. at least a tenth of an
inch, because of the inability of
their eyes to focus exactly on the
front and rear sights. AT 100 yards
away, this would mean an error of
10 inches; at 200 yards, one of 20
inches. On the other hand, the
short-sighted person can line up his
sights accurately and can, through
practice, train them on the exact
center of his target, although the
outlines themselves are not sharply
defined.

Heat-Tempered

Hundreds of thousands Of visitors
entering the Pavilion de Saint Co
balm at the Paris exposition walked
up so glass steps. six feet wide
and supported only for a couple of
inches at either end. These steps
were of heat-tempered glass, now
gaining use in this country for port
holes, transparent over doors, win
dows in pilot-houses on boats, and
translucent bathroom and kitchen
ceilings. This glass, which scien-
lists call tuf-fex, is 4.8 times as
strong as regular plate glass of the
same thickness and withstands ex-
treme heat-and-cold shocks. It is
being used extensively in portfolios
Of new battleships to save weight.

How Korea Was Named

Korea was the name given the
country occupying a peninsula In
northeastern Asia, by foreigners,
particularly Europeans. The Ko-
reans themselves as wen az other
Orientals preferred to call the king

ancient native name. Chosyon,
usually spelled Chosen In English,
is derived from the Chinese Ch'ao
