BY RAYMOND CLAPPER (Ernie Pyle, Page 34) A/ ASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—It is perfectly lovely the way several foreign governments are hinting that they would like to pav a little down on the war debts, be even more lovely if they actually paid

something. Americans had begun to think that subject which it was not quite proper to mention. used to have an old-fashioned idea that the war debts

ELIZABETH, BRITAIN'S NEW QUEEN

She's K indly, 1 actful, Gracious and Fun-Lo ving Say Her I ptinmaies

(First of a Series)

BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent

ONDON, Dec. 18.—Britain’s new Queen might well be

described by this phrase:

“the woman every fond

mother wishes her favorite son would marry.” From her birth as the untitled daughter of the fourteenth Earl of Strathmore, through a happy and simple girlhood unmarked by any great surfeit of money, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon grew up with every quality that marked her as a mother-in-law’s ideal. She had the bluest of blue blood, was pleasantly pretty (but not too pretty), had good health, good temper, tact,

intelligence, frugality, respectability beyond whisper of reproach, and fine sense of responsibility and duty. These are important elements that make a queen. It is not surprising that, when the Duke of York's love for the Earl's daughter was declared, Queen Mary took her immediately to her heart. The tutelage and counsel and the quasi-parental love of the Queen Mother have had and alwavs will continue to have an inspiring effect on the present Queen. So much has been written about the virtues of the new Queen that it is possible to build her into a stiff -and-starched unreality. This would be gratuitous.

= ” =

HE “duty first” side of Queen Elizabeth stands plain, open on the record, for all to see, and will, those who know her feel confident, be revealed increasingly as the new royal couple assume the burden of the monarchy. But the lighter side of the “braw Scotch lassie” who has become Britain's Queen is no less revealing, because it shows that on the throne beside George VI there sits a human being as well as a queen. For example, throughout her youth, Queen Elizabeth signed her name in letters to intimates as “Lizzie.” That is not usually the act of one who _.is positionproud. She continued the practice until long after her marriage had made her Duchess of York. Attending a musical comedy once while Duchess, she heard a popular song called “Lizzie,”

& | |

which amused her so much that she insisted the Duke accompany

| her to a later performance to hear I it.

But in the meantime, the Lord Chamberlain had heard about the “Lizzie” song, and had it cut out of the show. The saving sense of humor must be native, for, as a little girl it is recorded that the new Queen liked her little joke. Glamis Castle, where she was born, is one of the historic Scottish seats, probably the place Shakespeare had in mind when he wrote his tragedy of Macbeth, “Thane of Glamis and of Cawdor.” = » = ANY visitors come to see it, including many Americans. A servant is usually “told off” to show visitors the public portions of the castle. One day Elizabeth, then a teen-age girl. dressed her-

| self in a maid's uniform, and re-

ceived such guests. Many, pleased with her apparent knowledge of the castle and its traditions, offered her gratuities. So there may be today, living, certain travelers who can remember having tried te tip the

| future Queen of England.

During the empire tour “down under” to Australia shortly after her marriage to the Duke of York, the new Queen again proved that she was no “feminine stuffed shirt.” She waded into rivers to fish for rainbow trout, and dropped a rhinoceros with a single shot, though she had learned to handle a rifle only in preparation for the trip. Thus it may be seen that, despite her decorum on official oc-

Queen Elizabeth

casions, the new Queen is a distinct personality in her own right. In fact, this is so true in contrast to the unspectacular man who is now King, that British newspapers a few years ago fell into the habit of printing little

items like this: “The Duchess of York, accompanied by her husband, will leave London on Tuesday next for Scotland. It required some pointed official suggestions to remind the editors that, after all, it was the

Duke who was a King's son, and directly in line to reign.

” ” n

Te observe how time and’ chance affect even royalty, it is only necessary to note that, 14 years ago, in 1922, a comparatively unknown Scottish lass was chosen as representative of her distinguished family to be a bridesmaid when the Princess Mary. sister of the present King, was married to Viscount Lascelles. It was then on Princess Mary, daughter of a King and a Queen, that attention centered, and few paid much heed to the slender, pretty young girl who was only an attendant. One of those, however, who paid very close attention was Albert, brother of the bride. He had long known Elizabeth BowesLyon, and seeing her in the bridesmaid’s dress may well have started a train of thought in his mind. Today, the bridesmaid is herself queen, and her daughter Elizabeth is next in line for the throne, while the bride of that day, the Princess Royai, Countess of Harewood, is fifth in the line of succession, her husband and children following. n 2 » ECAUSE the present Queen was born a “commoner,” it must not be felt that her lineage is undistinguished. On the contrary, it means only that as youngest daughter of the Earl of Strathmore she was untitled. Her blood traces.back to William the Conqueror, Alfred the Great, and Charlemagne. And Robert II, first Stuart King of Scotland, is an indirect common ancestor of both Queen Elizabeth and King George VI. Glamis Castle, most impressive of the seats of the fourteenth Earl of Strathmore, is probably the oldest inhabited house in the British Isles. But it is only one of the properties of the Earl, and in 1900 the family was staying at St. Paul's Waldenbury, Hertfordshire, a comparatively small red-brick Queen Anne house. There, on Aug. 4, 1900, a daughter, one day to be Queen of England, was born to the Earl and Countess of Strathmore. But nobody knew it then. She was just a pink-and-white wisp of lovely Scotch babyhood.

Next—A Prince comes wooing —and proposes three times before he can persuade a “commoner” to share his future lot.

ARIS, Dec. 18.—Practicing an internationalism that would make Leon Trotzky green with envy, dabbling in at least one war in a fashion which would have given the late Sir Basil Zaharoff palsy, playing the part of “mystery man” so well that it took a senatorial investigation to make him interesting to the general public, Simon Patino, “tin king of Bolivia,” lives in Paris and thinks in terms of metallurgic wealth. It's a long way from the breathtaking Andean ranges of Bolivia to the broad and leafy Avenue Foch which pursues its elegant route from the Etoile to the Bois de Boulogne. Longer still from the humble home in La Paz where Patino was born to the mansion he now occupies. Perhaps longest of all to the social serenity of fashionable Paris from the torrid swamps of the Gran Chaco—inio which Patino poured a fortune which some say amounted to 100 million francs to fight a way to a seaport on the broad river which

‘Audience Study

Costs $1,000,000

HE condition called “prices” is becoming a subject of acute discussion in the worlds of both business and government. Prices, and the economic conditions which prices reflect and affect, are at a stage which will shortly become a landmark, a fork of the road. If prices rise materially further, that will be an index toward one thing. If prices are restrained, that will be | an index toward another thing. The whole sophisticated world of business, finance and economic theory is watching to see which way the index will point. A little more than three years ago, on Oct. 22, 1933, President Roosevelt, in a radio speech, expressed a determination about prices as of that time. He was discussing farm prices, but it was commonly understood he had in mind the price level generally. Mr. Roosevelt said: “I do not hesitate to say, in the simplest, clearest language of which I am capable, that, although the prices of many products of the farm have gone up, I am not satisfied cither with the amount or the extent of the rise, and that it is definitely a part of our policy to Increase the rise and to ‘extend it to tiiose products which have as yet felt no benefit. If we can not do this one way we will do it another. Do it we will.” Mr. Roosevelt used several ways. Examination of these ways in the light of history will probably say that some were wholesome, some less wholesome. Some necessary, and some unnecessary. But (0 go into all that now would merely involve us in academic contentien.

Prices Will Need Leveling Soon, Sullivan Declares

BY MARK SULLIVAN

high prices has now: been practically accomplished. There is no question any more about the soundness of financial institutions. Farmers and others have been able to pay interest on their mortgages, and have been able either to pay off the mortgages or to renew them at lower rates of interest. Substan-

tially all this purpose is now taken care of. Any person or institution

still embarrassed by debts is the exception. Probably the bulk of popular opinion would be pleased to see

prices go still higher, for the average man as a rule is usually under the illusion that higher prices are good. An exception to this broad rule is that housewives do not like to see prices of food rise higher,

” ” ” UT the bulk of expert opinion knows that from this point on the true path to real national wellbeing lies not in further rise of prices but in preventing too great a rise. To this class of opinion it is apparent Mr. Roosevelt himself belongs. The best authorities agree that the range of prices six months or so from now will be an index to the near future in America. They feel that a continuously rising level would point toward disaster. A restrained level would point toward wholesome prosperity, and political and social stability. So, three years after Mr. Roosevelt expressed his determination to make prices rise, he is faced by the desirability of preventing too great a rise. This was to have been expected. Undoubtedly Mr. Roosevelt himself anticipated it. For now preventing an excessive rise, Mr, Roosevelt has several instrumentalities. These will need to be used with greater care than he had to exercise when his purpose was to make prices rise. At that

time he could throw all his priceraising methods into the pot at once and make it boil. That condition of 1933 lent itself to the technique

Our Town

BY ANTON SCHERRER

N a conscientious effort to clean up everything I know about the anonymous but warm-hearted Irishman I told about yesterday, I'll sow get around to his prize murder story which, strangely enough, had nathing It didn't even have anything to do with America, except in a very remote way, because, I recall, it always started with a meticulous description of a town in England. A mile or two from this town was a manufacturing mill, and still farther 1a the country was the house in which the owner lived. The owner walked this distance every day, even on Saturdays, when everybody knew he carried large

sums of money with which to pay the workmen.

A man in the neighborhood, who was generally short of money, decided one Saturday, as a way out of his troubles, to watch for the owner and rob him.

Probably because he was in a hurry, or maybe because he was new to the business, the villain failed to provide himself with a weapon. He wrenched, therefore, a strong rail from a fence which skirted the road. Before he could remove a long nail by which the rail had been fastened, the very man he was waiting for came by.. He made short work of him and beat out his brains.

un o u

Mr. Scherrer

Hid Body

T the very same moment, he heard the distant sound of horses coming up the road, and was barely able to drag the body and hide it in the nearest ditch when two horsemen came in sight. He hadn't had time to get the money, you see, and so he ran to the nearest farm yard and hid in a freshly made hay-rick.

At this point of the story, the Irishman had us kids bug-eyed, because he went into great detail describing the terror of being trapped in that kind for instance, of being buried in fermenting, vile-smelling hay. Just about this time, too, came two crows. They swooped down on the trapped man and. kept hovering about, cawing and screaming and wheeling and swirling in a mad effort to peck out the man’s eyes. The crows had been attracted by the smell of blood. See? Well, about 4 o'clock the next morning, the trapped man got out of his predicament (always referred to by the Irishman as his “hot-bed”)., and went back to the scene of the crime. Sure, he got his money. What's more, he made a clean get-away and came to America.

on ” on Returned Home

T the end of 30 years of uninterrupted success, during which time he made a pile of money, he decided to return to England, and once there he just couldn't keep from visiting his old home. As a precaution against any possible danger, he deemed it wise to approach his old home by way of the back door, which is to say by way of by-paths and little= used roads. Everything had changed, even the size of the church yard.

As he sat on a tombstone in the changed church yard, he noticed the sexton digging a grave. He went over and talked with him, and while thus engaged, the grave digger uncovered a shovelful of bones, and finally a human skull. Right in the back of the skull stuck a nail. But that wasn't all. At the very same moment, the skull began moving—slowly and horribly until the empty sockets of the skull rested squarely on the guilty man. Then, and just as mysteriously, it stopped moving.

The man broke down, of course, and confessed and got everything that was coming to him. Depend on England for that.

Our Irish story-teller told this tale at least a dozen times before any of us boys showed any curiosity te know why the skull moved. Finally put, the question pleased the Irishman. It was a dormouse, he said, The hibernating dormouse, revived by the outer air, had wakened from his sleep and in running from one side of his resting places to the other, had led the guilty man straight to the gallows. I never thought the explanation helped the story any.

A Woman's View

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

NE who signs herself “A Mother” charges me with thoughtlessness for writing that parents are not capable of selecting husbands and wives for their children. “I wonder whether you are a mother,” she goes on. “In that case, I can hardly believe you were serious when you wrote such foolish words. Surely a woman should advise her children for their future good.” Surely she should. But what she must never forget is that advising and dictating are very different things. We can and should guide our young in their choice of associates, although we shall have to do it always by tactful means. From the tone of this mother’s let ter, I judge she is fighting a hard and losing battle with a son and daughter and that both contemplate marriage with mates of whom she disapproves. Doubtless her estimate of the character of her future inlaws may be correct. But she is using very undiplomatic means to gain her ends. At this job one must be as wise as a serpent and as harmless as a dove, It is always a fatal error openly and vocally to oppose another's matrimonial choice. The parent has to move cautiously in such a fight, and her weapons should be cunning, patience, intelligence, and a still tongue. Criticism of a son's sweetheart or a daughter's beau is the last refuge of the stupid. Obviously these tactics set up a strong counter-resistance in our children, and if the marriage takes place over all maternal protests the words we have spoken will be seared indelibly upon the memory of our child.

ARDNESS of hearing in old age may be of two kinds. The distinction depends on whether the changes that have taken place in the tissues aflect the middle or the internal ear.
