BRITISH PRINCE PllLy CALLED m RIDER’ But Other Comments on Wales’ Horsemanship Less Violent. Bn United Press MELTON MOWBRAY, England, March 11.—This is the inside story of what is wrong with the Prince of Wales’ riding as related to a United Press correspondent by residents of this picturesque village which is the headquarters of the prince during the fox hunting season. The village lies in the center of the finest fox-hunting country in all England and its inhabitants have followed the activities of the hounds, horses and hunters since the days, as one groom expressed it, “when he was knee high to a foal.” So to get the viewpoint of these horse-bred people the correspondent drifted around town for a couple of days and entered into casual conversation vith numerous inhabitants ranging

from Major-General Vaughan, manager of the Craven Lodge Club, where the prince stays when in Melton Mowbray, and where he keeps his horses, to “Jimmies the ‘prince's second groom, and finally to town gossip at the bar of , the George Hotel. Editor’s Opinion Was the truth expressed in the blunt phraseology of the unimaginative editor of the local paper when he said: “Well, when all is said and done, the fact of the matter is that the prince is a rotten rider?” Or was Maj. Gen. Vaughan right when he said: “There’s nothing wrong with the prince's riding. It is only when the prince spills he gets a great blast of publicity. Others spill just as often, but you never hear anything about it.” The truth seems to lie somewhere between these two comments. Probably “Jimmie” the groom came closer to it when he said: “The prince drives with a beautiful hand, but he sits a bit too high for a Jumper. He’s almost a perfect rider on the flat. The fact that he is not so good on jumping as he is on flat running is not against him as a rider. Steve Donoghue,. the famous jockey, is probably the best rider in England, but as a steeple-chaser he’s a ‘wash-out.’ ” Not Good, Not Bad A bandy-legged groom grown old in the service of horses, took the correspondent aside and said: ’’Shhhh. The prince ain’t such a good rider, and ’e ain’t such a rotten rider. The trouble is ’e’s reckless as ’ell. That’s a. fact. Once the ’ounds get a scent and the prince gets agoin’ full speed after the ’ounds and a fence or ’edge or ditch gets in the way; ’e says to ’imself .‘l’ll clear it or bust.’ And so not bein’ any too good at jumpin’ every onct in a while ’e busts. Really, onct the ’ounds are in full cry and the prince arter ’em e ain’t got the judgment that a young- man in 'is position outter ave.” . That seemed to be the- general impression in the village: that as a hunter the pEince has more “courage than judgment.” . This fact, however, does not militate against his popularity in the village. In a town imbued with the sporting instinct, his reputation for

recklessness, if anything, enhances his popularity. / Keep on Biding Asa ‘troop of a score or more of red-coated hunters canter through the village and the inhabitants stop on the sidewalks to see them pass the “personalities” that the villagers point out to a stronger, after the Prince of Wales, and say Earl Beatty, or the Duchess of Westminster, ran something like this: “See that man with a wooden leg. He broke his leg so bad ip a fall that they had to cut it off. ’e's still a-huntln’ you see:” Or “See that girl on the black horse? ’Er brother was killed in a fall last year.” Or, “See that redcoat on the big bay? ’ls sistfer was killed two years ago an’ ’is brother broke i’s collar bone last Saturday, but it don’t stop ’im none.*’ That’s why they like • the Prince of Wales: he spills and breaks a collar bone, or sprains a wrist, or gets stepped on, but just as soon as he ian catch his oWn mount or get another horse he is off after the hounds again until someone comes along and, seeing ,hlm look white and shakey, simply forces him to quit and return to the club and have his injuries tended to. Probably a composite sentence of all the criticism of the Prince of Wales’ riding would be: “He is a good rider, and an indifferent but game, jumper.” What the villagers think of the prince personally can be stated in five colloquial words: “ 'Es ’e is.” Only five men have ever held the rank of general in the American army Washington, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Pershing.

DRESSMAKERS DO NOT SLIGHT MEN IN PLANNING DUDS Blue and Purple Replace Black .Evening Clothes. Bit United Press PARIS, March 11. —Parisian dressmakers are not devoting their entire attention to woman’s wants. They have decided that mere man needs just as much attention. One of their first dictates is that evening dross must no longer he simple black. Blue and even light purple are the colors indicated. An important point is that the underwear of the well dressed man must match. For instance, if one wears a royal blue tail coat he must have pale blue underwear with an initial in a darken shade. . American Buyers Three liners have just brought over a throng of buyers from New York, Chicago, Denver and San Francisco, who will take back home the latest Gallic contribution to men’s wear. They have noted that All Help in one tablet for Colds Modern science has developed four effective help* for colds. Now they are combined in one tablet, called HILL’S. One of the world s largest laboratories perfected the prescription. It is so well-proved, so quick and complete that we paid $1,000,000 for it. HILL'S stops a cold in 24 hours. It checks the fever, opens the bowels, tones the entire system. It Is kept ever-ready in millions of homes by people who have .proved its powers. Don’t rely oh lesser help. And don't delay. A cold need never develop if you keep HILL’S on hand. And It need not continue when you get it. Start it now. CASCAWJI QUININE Get Red Box with portrait
