'DEAF PEDDLER ROBS GROCER Police Seek ‘Mute’ and Two Other Hold-up Men. A man posing as a deaf mute and •elling lead pencils, committed a robbery late Tuesday and is still at large today, police said. Abraham Aziz, grocer at 3709 Massachusetts Ave., told Patrolman Ed Ball that the man came in, sold a pencil and then motioned for Aziz to look at a picture on the wall. Aziz said he turned and gazed at the picture, and the mute seized $9 that Aziz was counting on the counter and ran out the door. Two men held up E. F. Robson, 629 E. Twenty-Fifth St., Tuesday as he was putting his auto in his garage at 2428 Broadway, and took a S3O watch. His description of the two lead police to believe they are the bandits who staged a number of hold-ups on the north side recently. William Carson, 546 Abbott St., told police he had talked with several persons as he walked along Kentucky Ave., and was unable to tell when someone took $54 from his pocket.

Wales Not Skilled at Sports, but He’s Game
Heir to British Throne Has Courage and Is Good Loser. (Editor’s note: Is a series of .seven articles, of which the following is the third. Minott Saunders. United Press staff correspondent, tells you everything about the Prince of Wales from the time when as an undersized schoolboy he was know as "The Sardine” to his present status as the best known man in the world and from what he eats for breakfast to his penchant for playing the drums in night clubs. Why his horses throw him—why he doesn't like golf—what he smokes —what he dnnks—how many suits of clothes he has—what pictures are on the walls of bis den—how well he dances —does he play the banjo —how many hours a day he works— Ms views on marriage—what his valet thinks of him —why he is generally nervous in publie—- these and a thousand other interesting details are included in the intimate, close-up picture of the Prince of Wales, presented by this unusual series of articles. By Minott Saunders (United Press Staff Correspondent) (Copyright. 1927. by United Press) LONDON, March 9.—The Prince of Wales is greater as a sportsman than, he is great in sport. He plays games and hunts with intense enthusiasm, often with disquieting recklessness, but he is not an expert at any game. More important than his skill, how ever, is his splendid spirit in athletic competition. He always tries to do well, but he places sportsmanship above individual triumph, and he is a good loser. He is loved as the sporting prince because he so admirably typifies the English code of “sport for sport’s sake.’’ H. R. H. is chiefly celebrated abroad for hit “falling to the hounds,” but this impression of his riding is unfair because it does not do him credit. Riding is his favorite sport and this season he has been hunting an average of twice a week. His record at Mehun, Mowbray, where he usually hunts, is better than that of many recognized fine horsemen, but his trouble is that every time he takes a tumble the spill goes reverberating around the world. What often escapes his critise is his pluck in leaping to his feet and chasing his mount across the field in order to continue -.the hunt.

A sportsman, through and through —that’s the Prince of Wales day in and day out. Whether it’s polo, or racing, or following the hounds, he is always on hand with an eager enthusiasm.
He may go down —that beijig part of the game—but he never goes out. Likes Speed The prince has taken an interest in sport from childhood. He kicked a football about the royal gardens with his brothers, arid later at Sandringham played matches with children of the neighborhood, but often became irritated because they respected his princely person to the detriment of their attack. He was a keen bicycle rider and showed an early hankering for speed. At Oxford young Edward first came in contact with his fellows in sport on an equal footing. He liked rugby, but was not sturdy enough to take part in actual matches. His best game at that time was soccer football. He was fast on his feet and shifty with the ball. He didn’t mind in the least taking a shoulder or being spilled in tlie mud. He became a familiar figure on the field with the Magdalene second eleven. Unlike most aristocratic Englishmen, the Prince never cared much for cricket, and rarely attempted to play it. His friends also believed game was too slow for him, which was probably true. He has always shown a preference for keen excitement in sport. Curiously enough, tennis never interested him much. He never learned to play well, and he is too self-conscious to appear as a dub in a game. His brother Albert, the Duke of York, is the star tennis player of the family and has played at Wimbledon in doubles. Very Human Golfer Edward has spent much time at golf, particularly during the past two or three years. He is credited with a handicap of fourteen, but only on his best days out can he justify this rating. He is very human at golf and makes many mistakes. His chief difficulty in perfecting his game is she curiosity of crowds. Before he gets over a hole or two on any course he has attracted a big gallery, and this makes him nervous and puts him off his game. On one occasion he topped an easy approach and then pulled off his cap and gave it a digusted fling. Immediately, however, he recovered himself, and with a sheepish smile went and got his cap and resumed play. His feeling about the gime is reflected in a remark he once made to some fellow players: “It is easier to make an ass of yourself a golf than in any other game in the world.” Unlike his father, the prince is not very keen on shooting. He has done a fair amount of bird shooting on the moors, and he handles a gun
CONSTIPATION MADE BOY AN INVALID Parents say Milks Emulsion gave relief. Gaining weight and strength. “Our 15-year old boy hadn’t been strong since he was 9 years old, (When he had whooping cough and scarlet fever. He had constipation terribly. The only thing that would give relief was injections of warm water, and finally we used olive oil injections. “Last August we started giving | him Milks Emulsion. After taking : three bottles, he hasn’t to this day had to have another injection. He gees to school every day, eats his Emulsion right along, and is gaining weight and doing fine. We can’t praise Milks Emulsion enough, and | will be glad to tell other parents just what it ' as done for our boy.” —Mr. and Mrs. Jim Williams, Route i 3, Kellerton, lowa. I Milks Emulsion restores health, natural bowel action, doing away ; with all need of pills and physics. It promotes appetite and quickly puts the digestive organs in shape to assimilate food, thus building flesh and strength, which are Nature’s only aids in conquering germs and repairing the effects of wasting diseases. This is the only solid emulsion made, and so palatable that it is eaten with a spoon like ice cream. Wonderful for weak sickly children. No matter how severe your case, you are urged to tr# Milks Emulsion. If not satisfied with results, your money will be promptly refunded. Price 60c and $1.20 per bottle. Sold by druggists everywhere.

well, but he prefers to hunt or play polo. “When I get older and cannot hunt as I do now, I shall probably take up shooting seriously,” he once explained. If he does he will have to improve to equal his father. The king is one of the best guns in the country. Best at Squash Rackets Edward’s best game is squash rackets. When he is in town he plays daily, usually in the morning to set him up for the day. Also he greatly delights in running. He is an early riser and often, clad in a sweater and running shorts, he will be in the palace gardens by seven o’clockfl running around briskly and limbering up. But Edward is happiest where horses are concerned. He first took up riding seriously at Oxford, and since then it has been a craze with him. Hunting is his chief joy in life. He loves polo, and sometimes plays a very creditable game, but he lacks the weight and strength to be expert. He does not get much time to play, but he is ambitious of improving his form. ' “I shall go to India one day again when I can,” he remarked to a friend. ‘‘lt is just one vast polo ground, and I want to play well.” The prince is a very fine rider on the flat, but he is an indifferent steeplechaser. Critics who study his riding from the horseman’s point of view s*ay that he does not possess the horseman’s hands. His grip is also faulty, and he .is frequently seen taking fences too far out of the saddle. But he is dead game. He rides the most spirited hunters and has no
Gorgeous Oriental Rugs in a Remarkable Sale THIS March Sale of Orientals offers large quantities of fine rugs in such a splendid variety of weaves, colorings, patterns and prices that individual tastes may be gratified with ease. However, outside of the fine quality and splendid workmanship represented, there are four factors that make this event of the utmost importance..
/.—Bought at Saving Prices Most of these rugs were purchased in large quantities in conjunction with several other of the finest and largest stores in America, effecting great savings to us—and consequently to our patrons. 2. —Substantial Reductions on Rugs in This Sale In spite of the fact that prices were already much lower than usual for rug* of such high quality, we have made drastic reductions for this March sale only. 3. —Lower Prices in Spite of Increased Import Cost These important price reductions have been made in the face of anew government policy which will occasion a 15% increase in the import cost of every rug. This means, of course, that dealers everywhere will have to get 15% more for all Orientals they purchase hereafter. The rugs in this sale were imported before the increase became effective and our patrons will profit greatly if they “buy now while they may.”

fear ot them. He tackles all obstacles and takes great chances. If he comes a cropper he offers no excuses, but is keener than ever for the hunt. Many attempts Jiave been made to restrain him, but in riding his will is firm. In 1924 the question of his riding was taken up in Commons and it was there stated that “The nation views witli apprehension the manner in which he exposes himself to danger, and trusts that his royal fattier will exercise upon him an appropriate measure of restraint.” For a time Edward curtailed his riding, but he refused to be persuaded to abandon the sport. Relies on Experts The prince keeps seventeen hunters at Melton Mowbray, but In buying horses he always asks the advice of experts. In tumbles at various times he lias broken both shoulder blades, sprained a wrist and an ankle and has been kicked hard in the face, but his morale is higher than ever. His riding is no joke to him and he feels that the popular reaction to his tosses is not sporting. The Prince has played the games of many peoples in many lands. He has very keen on pig-sticking India, but he did not like tiger hunting as it was introduced to him in India, because he was taken on a state hunt, with a ring of elephants protecting him, and this was not what lie regarded as sport. He likes lots of action and wants to take chances. He shares with many young men of his age the restlessness that is a heritage of the war, and he finds an outlet in exciting sport.

INDIANA OFFICERS LOSE South Dakota Governor Refuses Extradition of Jurgen Olson. By United Press PIERRE, s. D., March 9.—Governor W. J.

4.—The Future of the Oriental Rug—A Prediction: Persia and other rug-weaving countries of the Orient are awakening. Modernization is advancing to the almost inaccessible districts. Good roads are being built, automobiles and airplanes are coming into common use and journeys that once consumed months are now being made in a few days. Modern transportation is affecting the future of the Oriental rug. Easy travel has made possible the installation of great industrial mills for the production of modern textiles and other products. These mills are removing the factor which has made the price of rugs so low, namely, a great oversupply of native labor, underpaid by reason of its numbers. But the new industries are offering splendid wages and using all the men they can get—and rug craftsmen are deserting their looms in great numbers in order to make a better living. As a result, each year will see fewer and fewer ruga produced and prices will soar to formidable heights. This is not fanciful speculation, but intelligent prediction based on actual survey by experienced industrialists.
to be extradited to Indiana, where the convict was declared wanted in connection with wrecking a bank. Governor Burlow upheld Olson’s contention that he was not wanted as a fugitive from justice, but in order that judgment might be executed against him for a civil debt. Asa result, Indiana authorities, who had expected that former Governor Gunderson's approval of their requisition last fall would be honored, left without Olson.
