You take him seriously, for
you realize he is not merely an
articulate dreamer, but a prac-

formula but from facts. The
inventor spends most of his time
in Detroit, where with his wife,
he lives in a suite at the Book

was born.

Bulgaria Is Important
 In Europe's "New Order"

THE man-BoriS III-and the country-Bulgaria-pictured on the stamp above, share world att tention in Europe's conflict. Once again this little Balkan kingdom becomes a pawn of warning na- tionS.
 Bulgaria came into existence in the 9th century, rose to greatest power during the 18th and 18th centuries, bowed to Turkish rule 100 years later. Not until 1878, after the Russo-Turkish War, did Bulgaria regain distinct national existence.
 For 30 years Bulgaria remained tributary of Turkey, before att taining independence under King Ferdinand. Tn the Balkan wars, Bulgaria fought Turkey, then her own allies, over division of spells. In the World War, Bull garia sided with Germany. That defeat cost territory, ceded to Yugoslavia and Greece in 1919, that Bulgaria hopes to regain.
 Boris came to the throne in 1918, following the revolution that ex- fled his father, Ferdinand. He has held the crown despite attempts at assassination, government upheav- als and a swing to Fascism.
 In 1880, Boris strengthened ltalo-Bulgarian frien d hip by marrying Princess wanna, daughter of the king and queen of Italy. They have two children.
