Topping the towns highest hill,

and harbor, it Is both home and
office for the Duke and his
American-born Duchess.
Slender and gentle hammered,
the Dukes suntanned brow knit
with deep earnestness as he
spoke to. me of the unemploy-
ment, the poverty and the i'll
health which harass thousands of
the people he governs these
days.
I'VE have serious unemploy-
ment problems here in the Ba-
hamas," the Duke of Windsor
said to me. Most of the natives
never have steady work. Now,
with the sponge industry at a
standstill because of the disease
that has ruined the crop for the
last few years, there is almost
nothing for them to do.
"All in all, far too little has
been done in behalf of our native
population"

Then, with surprising frank
ness, he said: Trying to get CO.

homeopathic civic leaders are
"stuffy in what they are pleased
to call their staunchness."
He sat cross-legged. utterly re-

of an upholstered divan. The

have called his st. Helena. The
fact Is that the Edward whom
Nassau now is seeing is that man
who, when he toured London's
slums as the Prince of Wales in
1919, called them "damnable be-
yond words" And who, after
seeing the Welsh coal miners in
1892, said, II wish I could do
something that would really
help"
Those words re-echoed the
other day when the Duke told
me: Something plainly must be
done to improve the conditions
Of the neglected four -fifths of the
of the Bahamas"
"TOO LITTLE DONE

Record in Cleveland

oCLEvELAND, March 4-(R-
Cleveland will be the scene OF a
race that may prove Gregory
Rice, former Noter Dame speed
ster, the fastest two-miler In
history.
Confronted with stiff compe-
tition March Is in the knights
of Columbus indoor meet here,
Rice will shoot the works in
q bid for undisputed recognition
as the worlds best two-miler.
Rice covered the distance In
1884, on Feb. IS In New York
City to break the --secognized
world record Of $50, set out
doors by Milas Sxabo Of Hun
gary. The time also. bettered
Rice's former indoor mark Of
8:56.2.
However, Il was discovered
later that Taisto Maxi of Fin
land ran two miles in 1882 in
September, 1899. This figure has
not been recognized officially,
but Rice wants to clip three Sec
onds on his best time to settle
the matter for good.
Entries for the Cleveland
meet, patterned after the famous
K. Of G. events in New York and
Boston, close Friday. So <ar
Rice's competition includes three
top-notch runners-Forest Efav
Of OF Oklahoma A. & NJ, Tommy
Deckard, Olympic star and for
mer 5000 meter champion, and
Joe McClusky, two-mile steeple-
chase titlist.

So they left il like that. When
Hal had gone, April thought,

Any day now, Kent's letter
would be coming to tell the re-
SUITS of the operation.
''Pll know the day just by See

Nip took up the vigil by her
bed. Ann came and went on visits
to her room. II she'd been hurt,

"You look positively radiant"
April complimented her.

better just by being yourself"
April was knitting and gave a
lab to the needles. This was q
pair of mittens for the Red Cross
and she'd missed q stitch or
added one, SO the smooth effect
was spoiled.
1T seems funny" Ann said,
taking the needles in her capable
hands. to see you fussing over

"lt's my better nature coming

Then, because she could do it

her eyes were down, busy with

way, Ann, when's the good word

She might have imagined It,

SERIOUSNESS RATHER
THAN SHOWMANSHIP

Listening to him express his
serious views, it Is easy to UNI
derstand the CONSERVATION of
those Nassauvians who had ex-
pected the advent of the Wind
sors upon the scene to mark the
start Of a gay society whirl un-
paralleled in the islands history.
"You see," q prominent Amer
lean resident of Nassau told me,
1.-The Duke of Windsor had been
expected to be q sort of combined
matinee idol, master of ceremon-
les, super-salesman and cheer
leader-with his wife as the star
attraction of . big and endless
society carnival. This was not an
unnatural expectancy, in view of
q lot Of the unfortunate public
ity the Windsors have received in
recent years.
But when il became apparent
that H. r. H. was going to settle
down to q conservative and high
minded administration of his
duties, such hush settled over
the Bahamas that not even the
palm trees stirred.
Now, however, people are
getting used to this state of af-
fairs. And the Windsors probab-
ly are more popular, actually,
than they would have been II
they had let themselves in for q
lot of high pressure hoop-la."

marked, grimy, inarticulate men
come slowly from behind huts to
plead for money, to beg to pose

course.

laden bacon, bowls Of dried peas,
sugar and coffee beans lie on
filthy, makeshift, counters, at
tracing flies and disease.
HOPES TO DEVELOP
ISLANDS RESOURCES
IF you are shocked at Grants
Town in Nassau, then you ought
to see how the natives on the
unimproved outer islands live"
His Royal Highness continued.
Compared to those on other
Islands, the natives of Grants
Town are really well off.
"You see, there are all too few
steady employers of labor on the
islands. Something must be done
to develop potential agricultural
and industrial resources. Only q
mere handful of people are
working along these lines.
I'VE need more and better
roads here. Ways to grow all of
our own food ought to be devel-
oped. I don't see why we cannot
solve unemployment problems
and at the same time make the
Bahamas self-sustaining, More
convenient and more beautiful
islands on which to live"
During the bright, sun-drench-
ed days of the Bahamian winter,
the Duke stays close to his office
His schedule keeps him at his
desk from 10 to 3, taking care of
official business. It is during
these hours and afterward as
well that he considers native
problems.
