Prince One Man Who Really Is a Hero to His Valet. (Editors note: Is a series of sever. articles, of which the following 4s the third, Minott Saunders, United Tress staff correspondent, tells you everything about the Prince of Wale3 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 4.0 his penchant for playing the drums in night clubs. Why his horses i,hrow him—why he doesn’t like, golf—whal he smokes —what he drinks—how many suits of clothes he has —what pictures are on the walls of his den—how well he dances—does he pla.v the banjo —how many hours a day he works—his views on marriage—what his valet thinks of him—why he is generally nervous in public—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. w By Minott Saunders (United Press Staff Correspondent) Copiiripht. United Pres* LONDON. March 11.—The old saying that no man is a hero to his valet does not maintain with regard to the'Prince of Wales. His greatest boosters are those who know him most intimately. Servants who look after his personal requirements, policemen who guard him and equerries who" always stand by to render any service that may arise, love him for himself. This is probably the surest proof of the true character of Edward of Wales. There is abundant proof that in private life the prince is just an ordinary young man. But he has strong convictions on how to live. His one obsession is keeping fit. Although he is slight in stature, he is afraid of growing stout, perhaps mindful of the girth of his grandfather, King Edward. Consequently he is always in training. Exercise Devotee When at home he is always out early in the morning either running or playing squash rackets at his club. Exercise is a religion with him. On tour he has often stopped the special train so hb could have a sprint along the siding, and aboard ship he swims, boxes or practices polo shots while astraddle a wooden horse. His next fixture of the day is a cold tub. He bathes himself. He shaves himself; sometimes cuts himself, like the rest of us, but unlike Mussolini, lie can use a blade more than once because he has a very light beard. He can demand any attention that could be accorded to an individual, but he feels that this morning routine is a one-man job. Breakfast at 0 o’clock iis a private affair with -the prince; usually simple with only liis intimates with him. He likes to start the day with an orange. He has ham and eggs or fish -with coffee and rolls. At all meals he is a light eater. He does not like soup at all. unlike his

father, who is vpry fond of soup. He eats sparingly of meat, preferring chicken or pheasant, and always mindful of his resolution to keep thin. Caviar is one of his favorite dishes. Before retiring at night he eats an apple or some grapes and perhaps nuts, and these are always set out for him wherever he might be. * He often chews gum, a habit he got in Americaa. Heavy Smoker The prince smokes a great deal; pipe, cigars and cigarets. He has a nervous habit of tapping his pipe on of his hand when talking with a .stranger. His cigarets are

mild because he wants to avoid any throat trouble. When his mind is alert his hand usually reaches for his cigaret case. He is not, and never has been since childhood, an abstainer. He likes his beer and his whiskey and soda, but cares very little for champagne. The prince drives a car exceedingly well, but is not a keen motorist, preferring to let someone else drive. He keeps only two cars, one for running about and another for official use. He is practically never alone during his waking hours. He is usually accompanied by an equerry, but sometimes at night he goes out with one of his brothers or a close / friend or two for a quiet evening. Although his face is so familiar, he often passes unnoticed in the streets of London. Asa rule a tall man may be seen hovering near him but on occasions H. R. H. gets away even from this unobtrusive bodyguard. York House, where he resides, is guarded night and day, but considering his importance to the empire, he is at his owh request, conspicuously free of secret service men. He goes on his tours of the slums, through the dark and narrow streets of the worst quarters of London, with only a single' male companion. But he has never been molested or threatened. • Fond of Theater For recreation the prince likes to go to the theater, particularly reviews and light comedies. This season he has attended one American musical show over a dozen times. He also goes to the movies when h-s has time. If the impulse comes upon him when it is too late to boqk seats he takes a chance at the box office, ar.d on such occasions he does not use his name to get special attention. . Girls differ widely on how the prince dances. His men friends, however, say that he dances frequently because he likes to keep active and because by so doing he gets in touch with people and feels like one of the crowd. Like any other man, he likes a graceful and becoming partner, and when he finds

one who Is congenial he wants more than one dance. The prince often _ goes to night clubs in London. 'When he is in Paris he almost always looks over the town. Before the 'slump came In Montmartre he could always be counted on to ‘"climb the hill” after midnight, and he usually remained late. His party onco arrived late in a place in the rue Fontaine where the waiters had just gone on strike. The place was deserted, but the proprietor donned an apron and served drinks. When the strike was explained, as an apology for not being able to serve food, the women members of the party volunteered to do the cocking, and they descended to the kitchen in their silk frocks. The prince joined merrily into the fun and in half an hour the place was packed. On, another ocaasion the prince and one or two friends invaded the "black belt,” and entered a place run by an American Negress, with the result that all tables were soon taken and the doors had to be locked. Likes Jazz Music The "prince reacts happily to jazz musiq. He like's the swing and the action. He fancies himself as a jazz drummer, and on occasions, away from home, he has taken the sticks and publicly tried his hand. He is not a musician. He has been reported as aa violinist and a banjo player, but one of his most Intimate companions is authority for the revelation that he cannot read music. The ukulele is probably his best instrument, but he,likes to fool with musical instruments for his own amusement. At home H. R. H. gets little tune for leisure. For reading he prefers short stories, but he is not a great reader. • From time to time there have been attempts by newspapers and magazines toiget a certain precious Prince of Wales’ diary, in which he was supposed to write down his personal Impressions and ideas. But exhaustive inquiries by those interested has now rather deft-

nitely established the conclusion that there is no such diary. Among his friends the prince is best liked for his unfailing good humor. He never lias the blues. He has quick wit, loves to chaff his friends, but can take a joke when it is on him. He is always courteous and never upstage. He responds quickly to first impressions, and if he likes a man, he is not ashamed to show it. What goes on in his own mind about affairs of an intimate personal nature, even his closest cpmpanions are not able to say. H. R. H. keeps his own counsel about the question of marriage. # TO STOP A COLD IN ONE DAT Take Laxative BROMO QUININE Tablets. The Safe and Proven Remedy. i The lirst and Original Cold and Grip Tablets.)
