NORWAY'S QUEEN CELEBRATES HER 61 ST BIRTHDAY Bureau Report Shows Slight Decrease Over Previous Year London. Dec. - (UP)—Queen Maud of Norway observed tier Slst birthday anniversary Nov. 25. The favorite daughter of King I I’.dward VII spent the day among her family in England, following : her custom for many years, with I the exception of the war period, wh n International practice prevented her. as the sovereign of a neutral country, v'slting a belligerent one. In fact, the story is told that King Edward VII, in pr> Renting her the English home Appelton Hull. King's Lynn, Norfolk, near Sandringham, as a wedding gift, made the request that she visit her native land at least once a year, and she has complied with that requ st almi st without exception since. Little Prospect Small prospect of a throne appeared for the "tomboy’ daughter, the youngest of the royal family, when. July 22. 1896, she married her cousin Prince Charles of Denmatk, brother of the present Danish king, Christian X. Prince Charles then was a lieutenant in Hire Danish navy, and. as he rei called on the occasion of their 25th wedding anniversary, his Ipospecta then were slight, although, on hfs marriage he was made a first lieutenant. He became king in 1905. The affair was entirely a love match, for the young princess had had many suitors, and her mother, Queen Alexandra, had objected to marriage with a cousin. Princess Maud was the life of the royal family circle. Small, vivacious, she was always ready to Join any contest or sport, and t Is said that she led her brothers, the present King George of England and Prince Albert Victor, many a hard chase across country. Among the family, she was known by the nickname "Harry," and enjoyed the boyish ring of that term. She often has been seen in more recent years with her nieces and nephews on the chase. She is interested in aviation, and on one occasion, when a British flying beat was making an exhibition tour of Scandinavia, took the controls for a few moments. Many Accomplishments Hee iccomplishments at an early age included more than outdoor spi i ts. however. She early learned to cook, use a typewriter,

She has an interesting collection of ivory specimens all labeled in gold plates giving the date and place of capture. Queen Maud aso keeps an interesting scrap book of newspaper clippings supplied by various agencies, referring to herself and King Haakon VII, One section is made up entirely of the false newspaper re ports appearing about her, entered under the title: “We never did or said this.” Her visit to England is an autumn fixture, both for shopping, and in order to see other members of the family. This year her cousin, Queen Victoria of Spain is also a visitor. It has not been decided whether King Haakon will make a brief visit later on. Crown Piifice Olav is accompanying his mother. Queen Maud has, with all her vivacity, been one of the most modest cf royalties, a fact which has endeared her to the people of Norway. Her visits formerly coincided with the birthday observances of her mother, Alexandra, on December 1. Her own birthday observations are usually simple affairs. —o Color in Camels Camels seem to be singularly free from the color variations that affect so many domesticated animals —melanism und albinism.

MOVIESTARS ! MAKING PLANS FOR CHRISTMAS 1.. — Movie Capital Agog With Holiday Preparations Hollywood, Calif., Dec. UP) — Christmas comes to Hollywood just as It does to Kokomo — once a year and considerably merry. Kokomo, for al) its snow, holds the Yuletide no merrier than does the film capital, where Santa Claus is tempted to change his furs for a bathing suit. This year, the film capital has gone modernistic. The usual Christmas trees which are stretched from one end of Hollywood boulevard to the other are of metal, attached to lamp posts. Colored lights play upon them. Hollywood’s celebration, at times included a nightly parade of Santa Clause and those of filmland who have participated incifide Nancy Carrol, Mary Brian, Lillian Roth June Collyer, Kay Francis, Anita Page. Fay Wray, Carole Lombard and Jean Arthur. Christmas Trees Among the screen players who have lighted the Christmas trees ranging from 40 to 100 feet iu height in their yards, each season are Fay Wray, Richard Arlen, Clive Brook, Ruth Chatterton, Clara Bow, June Collyer, Conrad Nagel and Gary Cooper. There are some Christmas features to which Hollywood looks for ward. One is the feminine Santa Claus role played by Clara Bow. She and Bebe Daniels probably distribute more gifts than any other players in filmland. Every member of her companies from director down to laborer are remembered. Then there are Jack Oakie's prac-tical-joke gifts. He is the fellow who sent Ruth Chatterton an ivory tooth pick, Adolphe Menjou a moustache cup, Maurice Chevalier a French dictionary, Leon Errol a knee-brace, William Powell a subscription to a detective story magazine and Kay Francis a set of ear muffs. Lloyd's Christmas At Harold Lloyd's there is a special Christmas custom. The tree which little Gloria has each year is a live one in a box. After Christmas, each year the decorations are removed and the tree replantd until today she has living trees as memories of each Christmas. Hollywood folk will scatter but little for the holidays. The one who will be farthest away will be Marlene Dietrich. She will be home in Berlin. Two wandering Hollywood citizens will return in time for the Christmas. One is Maurice Chevalier. The other is Charles Rogers. _o WREN NEWS Mrs. J. L. Moser and grandson, Jason Moser, are spending the winter with Fort Wayne relatives.
