NEW YORK.-The first World war
~ tipped over 20 reigning princes
and dukes, four emperors and seven
kings, in addition to scattering Of
European Royalty atty whose
IL Heading Our n a mes are
Way in DroUes now no : an = !. ~
Carol of Rumania and George Of
Greece were the only kings who
came back, and they aren't a good
risk for Lloyd's-and perhaps
Lloyd's isn't either.
II the Mayhower were still afioat,
it could book a full passenger list Of
kings fleeing from commoners, seek
ing a haven in a new world-at any
rate, kings and their consorts, their
courtiers and others Of princely
rank.
II Is understood that the EN-
press Zita Of Austria win be IN
America before long. The word
''former" Is omitted here, IN def
erence to . clever, purposeful
woman, who has never admitted
that she isn't still the empress.
OF her son, Archduke Otto, now
living in two-room apartment
in New York, she once said, 'sH
the time ever comes when he
has but one servant, that ser
want will call him your majes-
ty.'"
In early-day San Francisco
stately old gentleman with a SPLEEN
did, kingly uniform announced that
he was Emperor Norton" and was
pleased to make San Francisco his
royal domain. Nobody knew who
he was or where he came from,
but he looked and behaved like an
emperor, so they took him up on his
proposition. He held court, for
years, received homage and issued
DEGREES, and when he needed rev.
enue levied on the stock exchange,
finding a handful of $40 gold pieces
always ready. He died sitting
straight upright in his little cubby-
hole room, wearing his full dress uni
form. The city gave him a grand
funeral. San Francisco was proud
of her emperor. They never did
learn anything about him.
This department was never par
ticularly partial to kings, but in ad-
dition to child refugees it might be
nice idea for each city over here

now in London and fixing to sail for
America, according to news reports
"a "swingtine king" who installed
in his Graustarkian palace Apiece
American jazz band and became one
of the best hooters in his kingdom.
Philadelphia probably would
put in a bid for the Grand
Duchess Charlotte of Luxem-
burg, thrifty homebody, now
in Quebec. The news is that, il
England falls, she and her six
children will come to the q. s.
A. She knits; plays the piano;
is a fluent linguist and rears
her children beautifully. There
might not be any bidders for old
Ferdinand Of Bulgaria, the but
terfly collector. He has nack
for pageantry, however, which
might interest New Orleans.
In case the above should appear
to be a callous reference to tragic
unhappiness, the main idea is that
this democracy might well accord a
certain respect to fugitive royalty
because it appears to have some
thing it really believes in.
A T MIAMI, FLA, IN October,
1 \ 1884, John Dwight Sullivan,
then commander of the New York
department of the American Legion,
urged the Legionnaires to concen-
trate less on more and bigger
bonuses and to center their efforts
on understanding and supporting the
government in constructive under
takings. He emphasized the need
for cooperation as citizens rather
than activity as a pressure group.
His was scholarly essay on citizen
ship.
Now Mr.. Sullivan has placed
before the convention Of the New
York County Legion 4 proposal,
for single, unified United States
air force, In which all air arms
Of all services would be under q
single command. Mr.. Sullivan
Is chairman Of the Legion's ma
tional aviation committee. He

At Granite Falls

Five Redwood Falls residents

Woese.
The bill, he said, is based on q
two per cent gross tax on all per

above $4,000 a year.
rs it equality?" he asked when
one state like California, pays its
old age assistance clients $3.50
a month, another $4.75 and an
other $19. No state is able to pay
a decent sum to our aged citizens
unless helped by our federal gov
eminent. The Townsend Recov-
cry plan treats all alike.
1--WE are carrying our battle to
every congressional district" he
said, And we have a chance to
win in the greatest non-partisan
crusade the nation has ever wit
messed"

BRAND MOVIE
FILMS STOLEN

DR.. w. A. Brands moving pic
ture films-familiar to scores OF
Redwood county residents-have
been stolen.
Fifteen cans of films, 5000 feet
of it and the small canvas doctors
bag in which he kept them, dis
appeared from the front hallway
of the Brand home sometime after
l a. m. Monday. The doctor left
the bag near the unlocked front
doorway after he had shown the
movies to friends at his birthday
party Sunday evening.
The pictures are invaluable to
him, including photos of his aged
mother before her death. There
are also wilderness scenes and a
collection of sunset pictures which
he took as a hobby. These have
been shown to various organiza-
tons throughout the county.
Operators at KIND which is
broadcasting for their return, say
a narcotics addict may have taken
the bag believing it contained
drugs.
