Philip is his great grandson and Elizabeth, his great, great-grand daughter. King Christian won for himself the titles, “Father-in-Law of Europe” and - “Grandfather of Kings.” - He disregarded threats to his personal popularity to throw his weight on the side of peace both at home and among other nations, Even so, his biographers record that no more beloved monarch ever reigned. The Danish king is pictured as tall, athletic and handsome. He took long walks, rode horseback and was known for his rectitude and thrift. He and his queen, the Princess Louise, were the parents of They had been happily married for 56 years when she died. Death Came Quickly The king lived to be 87, hale and hearty to the last.

Saves Lives of Son, Daughter

MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 20 (UP)—A | brother and sister, tightwire per- | formers with the Ringling Bros, || Circus, today owed their lives to their gray-haired father who rushed | to break their fall as they plunged from a high wire to the sawdust, floor of the tent. The father, Charles Davis, and | his son Harold, 31, and daughter | Hilda, 16, were in serious condition | in a hospital here today but were expected to recover. Mr. Davis was credited with sav-| ing his son and daughter from] what might have been instant death.

= o n THE slightly-built father had retired from the aerial act of the) “Flying Alanzas.” But his prac-| ticed eye could still catch the slightest off-balance motion of the son and daughter he had taught to ride the tightwire. Watching them perform in a climax act of the show here last night, Mr. Davis was the first in the crowd of 16,000 to realize they were| losing their balance as they rode a bicycle on a 35-foot-high wire with no net below, Just. in = time, he rushed beneath them. His still-strong! arms broke the impact as they hurtled toward the sawdust of the| center ring and the trio collapsed | in a heap. -

» Ld " { JUST BEFORE the fall came, Harold was riding a bicycle across, the wire with the blond Hilda bal- | anced on his shoulders. Two tra-|

ples of the whole earth mourned his| passing.

overflowed with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. At the beginning eof Christian's

reign in 1863, the country was cha-|

grined by the loss to Germany of] the two provinces—Schleswig and Holstein. tI is probable that both England and Russia would have helped the king regain them. But Christian avoided war. There was considerable internal bickering dyring many years of his | reign. Feeling ran high and an at-| tempt was made on the life of the president of the ministry but not! on Christian's. The king had ‘the courage to side with the minority, | but in spite of it was beloved by| both groups. He lived to see all factions at peace. Improved Internal Affairs King Christian improved methods of farming and under his sponsorship, literature, art, scientific research and foreign trade flourished. He tried to keep in touch with his subjects who came to America and | is said to have listened eagerly to reports Of their industry and success. He won the title of “Father-in-| Law of Europe” because of the farflung marriages of his progeny. His eldest daughter, Alexandria, became the wife of King Edward VII of Britain; the next daughter, Dagmar, was the mother of Czar Nicholas IT of Russia; his son was Kin George I of Greece, and his grand-
