QUEEN IS FAIRY GODMOTHER But Wilh«lmina’i Gift to Laborer1! Child Was Grabbed by Father and Brother. Little stories reflecting Queen WIl helmlna's popularity with her subjects appear from time to time in the con tinental press. The Petit Parisien reports that re cently, while motoring In the outskirts of The Hague, the Dutch sovereign was attracted by the .unusual beauty of a laborer’s child who waved to her She stopped her car to chat with the little girl, asked her name and kissed her. A few days later the delighted child received a parcel from the palace con taining a beautiful pair of gloves, the right-hand glove filled with caramels and the left with gold pieces. Accom panying the gift was a note from the queen asking her little friend to write and tell her which of the gloves gave her the most pleasure. In due time the child’s reply, on tear-stained note paper, reached the palace. "Your majesty,” It read, "I don’t know which glove I liked the best, because ray daddy took the left hand glove and my brother took the right." The queen, in good story-book style, promptly duplicated the gift, making certain, however, that the child should not be robbed by grasping father or greedy brother. It is not related whether or not she repeated her rather embarrassing inquiry. LION OF WATERLOO TOPPLING Glory of the Old Battlefield Eclipsed by Events of ths World War. The great lion on the field of Water loo Is reported in danger of collapse. The base upon which it rests is in ruins. The battlefield of more than a cen tury ago has been forgotten by most people in the rush to the new field of glory. Where Napoleon and Welling ton contended does no. concern the tourists wlio want to see where Koch and Hindenburg were making their fame. And the lion has lasted much longer than either the Corsican or the Eng lishman, neither of whom had an other claim upon the attention of the world, observes the Fort Worth Tele gram. The poet Shelley sang the requiem of all the glory of might in the pic ture of a crumbled statue half covered with sand, bearing the inscription: "My name is Oxymandtas. king of kings; Look on my vorks. ys mighty and despair; Nothing beside remains, Of that coloasal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away.” The lion of Waterhfc, the lion of mil itary fame, rests on a foundation that ! crumbles with time. Why patch it up? Autos Thick in London. According to officials of the London safety .first council. It is less safe to walk the streets of London than to travel by rail or by air. During the past year 684 people were killed and 26.322 Injured in Lon don's streets. During the same time the toll on the whole of England's rail ways was only 728 killed and 19,462 injured. Long periods of flying occur with out a single passenger being killed. Of the fata) accidents in London. 505 were caused by motorcars, motor j vans, etc., and 65 by motor busses. In the first quarter of the present i year street accidents In the metropoli tan area totaled 13,930, of which 149 were fatal. Of the latter 107 were caused by motorcars, motor vans, etc., ! and 16 by motor busses. Paternoster Row. Paternoster row is a street In I,on don. near St. Paul’s cathedral. Early In the last century It was the seat of the great publishing houses; but. in later years, these moved away to the neighborhood of the Strand and Pic cadilly and left the "Row” to the book sellers of the metropolis. The origin of the name is variously accounted for. According to some, the street j was so called from the rosary, or paternoster, makers that dwelt there; others, however, say that it was so named becnuse all funeral proces sions, en route for St. Paul’s, com menced their paternosters on entering this street, and continued to say them until they reached ttie gate of the cathedral. Quake Caused Earth to Drop. Intense damage in the vicinity of Yokohama, caused by the recent earth quake in Japan, was due to a drop of four feet in the surface of the earth, which may have resulted from activity of the volcano on the Island of Oshlma. southwest of Yokohama, in the opinion of Thomas A. Jaggar, Jr., volcanologist in charge of the Hawaiian volcano ob servatory, who has returned to Hawaii from Japan, where he made a survev of the damage wrought by the tem blors. The death toll in the earth quake, tidal wave anti lire was esti mated at 400,000 by Mr. Jaggar. and the damage to property at $8,000, 000,000. Acting W:th a Lion. A Hollywood motion picture director was trying to persuade a super to wrestle with a lion. “You needn’t be afraid,” lie said, “the beast is perfectly tame. He never tasted raw meat.” "No; perhaps not, replied the per spiring actor. “But that doesn't mean that he may not have curiosity.”— Everybody's Magazine.

Eyeglasses worn by nine presidents of the United States are owned by Dr Fred A. Stengel of Marlon. <).. whose chief bobby appears to he the collec tion of curios. The oldest pair in the group is that which surmounted Thomas Jefferson's nose in 1801. when Jefferson was fifty eight. Doctor Stengel purchased the glasses from an aged Virginian who , lived near Monticello. Jefferson's home. This pair has a metal frame. Of contemporary Interest is Presi dent Harding's first, pair, which Srpn gel himself fitted when the president [ was editor of the Marlon Star and | never dreamed of some day becoming the Chief Executive. Harding selected j a shell frame, oxford style, when it became necessary to reinforce Ids vi sion. Glasses used by Theodore Roosevelt, too. who was nicknamed “Four Eyes” when, as a beardless youth, he sought to recover his health on a Western ranch, are in Stengel’s collection. In the collection are spectacles which belonged to Grover Cleveland, William McKinley, James A. Garfield, William H. Harrison. James K. Polk and Rutherford B. Hayes.—Columbia Record. BIRO MELODIES AND MUSIC — Beautiful Passages in Works of Great Composers Borrowed From Feath ered Singers. The successful broadcasting of the song of canaries and the response of other birds miles away from the point of transmission will provide new Im petus for the discussion of the con tribution bird melodies have made to music. It has been claimed by close ! students of bird life that many of the most beautiful passages in the works of great composers are lifted note by note from the birds, and that the pa tient watcher may hear Beethoven from the throat of an oriole, note for note and measure for measure, em phasis and everything. Nor is tills the only incident cited. They number, lit erally. scores. There Is nothing sur prising in this. Bird-music is the most fluent and natural in the world; so called coloratura voices merely are In imitation of the bird voice, and their most noted numbers are usually enti tled with some alluson to birds. No one who has listened to the surprising flights of melody of which a canary I* capable hut marvels at the mysteries which create such a tiny, delicate and perfect mechanism.—Detroit New*. Gives $50 for Twins. Max Dick, owner of the tenement house at 69-73 Rivington street, New York, which is known as the "house of babies." because 52 families with more than 200 children live there, re cently made good his standing promise to present cash prizes to tenants who became parents of twins. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Berger became the possessors of twins, which brought their famliy up to five. The twins, a boy and a girl, each weighing 5H pounds, were named Samuel and Ksther. "T’nele" Dick, as he is called, attended the feast and afterward handed Mrs. Berger $50 In gold and told her that she could forget rent day until the end of February. Max Dick has a unique record among Kast side landlords. He has not In creased the rent in twenty-five years and has never ousted a Jobless tenant for nonpayment of rent. He arrived here penniless forty years ago from Austria. First he worked in a tailor’s shop and then he tended bar. With his savings he bought the tenement house. In 1908 he offered $50 for every pair of twins born there and $150 for the ninth child If It were a boy. At the same time he assured his tenants that large families would not mean high rents and he has kept his word. Too Rich to Be a Communiit. Questions of doctrine continue to trouble Communists—both pundits In high places and the simple minded faithful in the villages. Heretical con duct, as well as heretical opinion. Is ground for excluding men from the party. The story is told of a humble and sincere Communist rural family, where the wife was an enterprising woman of the thrifty, “managing” type. She gradually accumulated a pig, some fowls and some rabbits, which multiplied until by selling part of them and a few household belong ings she was able to buy a cow. Thus eventually she developed a little stock farm. However, the family’s unusual standard of well being was looked upon with suspicion by the husband’s fellow Communists, who decided to exclude him from the party. In the course of his trial for heresy the deli cate point came up as to Just how many turkeys changed a Communist Into a bourjooy.—Living Age. Russian Crop Acreage Gains. Russian agriculture Is beginning to show signs of coming back as a factor In world agricultural trade, although still short of prewar production, ac cording to a special survey of Russian conditions made by the Department of Agriculture at Washington, which reports an increase of from 15 to 20 per cent in the acreage sown to crops this season. Trade agreements be tween the Soviet government and Im porters in Germany, Austria, Denmark. England and Norway have established trade connections, fixed methods of payments and facilitated commercial Intercourse.
