LONDON. Dec. 14. Although '
.King George has successfully
passed through a very critical'
phase of his illness, the latest of-J
ficial word from Buckingham pal-'
ace today Indicated that there was'
a long and difficult struggle ahead
of him before the danger point!
was passed and he reached a con-!
valescent stage. j
The latest orflcial word was conl
tamed in a messagescnt by I,ord
tained In a message sent by Lord :
secretary, on behalf of Queen ;
Mary In reply to President Cool-
lilge's cordial message to the king, i
This message said;
"The queen Is most grateful to '
you. Mr. president, for your kind ;
message of w hich his majesty will
In due course be Infonned as soon
as his strength permits. Though
the recent operation successfully
treated one phase of the klng.'s
serious Illness, the consequences
of the general f. lection will entail '
weeks of slow and anxious prog-j
less before convalescence can be j
reached." j
This message was more Informs-j

"The slight improvement In the!

MEETING WILL BE
Tax League to Convene at
10 a. m. to Suggest
Changes in the
Budget.
The annual county budget meet
ing Is to be held tomorrow at the
courthouse, the taxpayers' league
meeting In the forenoon and the
county court meeting in the after
noon for the final adoption of the
budget.
This year's schedule of tenta
tive expenditures has but few
changes over Inst year. The budget
committee did not take full advant
age of the 6 per cent Increase per
mitted, hut held the budget to
within about 4 per cent of last
year s expenditures, so that few
changes are made.
Practically all the difference be
tween the tentative budget for
IVZH and the 1928 budget Is In the!
matter of salaries. These Increases
were authorized by the legislature,
so that the committee had no al
ternative. Some cuts were made to
allow for the salary changes but
for the most part the allotments
remain the same for the various
departments as last year. A pio
posed Increase In the health unit's
allowance is practically the only
material change.
The taxpayer's league meets
each year prior to the county
court's session for the approval of
the budget and makes any pro
posed recommendations concern
ing changes. This meeting w ill be I
held at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn-j
lug. The leagu has apiiolnted !
committees to investigate the bud-1
get for each department anil these :
committees met last Tuesday to
decide uion their reports. All of
the reports are now complete, with
the exception of that of the legis
lative committee, which has not
yet made tip Its report, owing to
the absence of the chairman. Dr.

day over the hearty welcome given
him by the people of Buenos
Aires, the first capital that he has
visited on the eastern coast of
South America. His trip down the
slopes of the Andes and across the
fertile 'Pampas gave him a feeling
of exultation at the accomplish

that there had been any plot
against him. The enlhuBlastic wel

Hoover to issue this statement:
"I could imagine no more won

OLD
HAXM OF
SAVING UPSET
BY HENRY FORD
Spend as You Work, Youth
of Today Is Advised by
Motor Magnate.
TOIL IS FIRST NEED
Own Experiences and Those j
of 1 hos. A. Edison Are
Cited in Support
of Opinions.
1 (AMoclitrd Prrn Lurd Win)
WASHINGTON. Dec. 14. Honry
Ford's advice to youth Is to work
and spend.
On his way to" a Whtto House
dinner last night.' he slopped long
enough to give this bit of counsel.
In so duing he ran somewhat coun
ter to an old maxim, and one gen
erally regarded by most as the
laws of the Medes and Persians;
work and save.
"You often hear advice given to
young boys that to succeed they
must work and save their money,"
Mr. Ford said. "This Is partly
wrong. No successful boy ever
saved any mouey. They spent It as
lust as tney could fur things to Im
prove themselves."
As a case in point, he mentioned
Thomas Edison as never having
"any money until he got so much
Re couldn't spend It."
Work It Paramount
Whatever his altitude toward
saving, Mr. Ford believes in work.
"Instill In the minds of the
young men that they will never get
anywhere without work," he stild.
"I "ever knew a young man- that,
was worth live cents that wouldn't i
work and even ocassloually get In
to trouble in his efrorts to learn."
"When 1 was a young fellow," he
about as many shops as 1 was wel
comed to." He explained that In bis
effort to learn nuout machinery, he
would slip Into machine shops
whenever possible and watch their
operations.
Mutt Teach. Too
Another requisite to advancing
in the world Is becoming a teach-1
er, Mr. Ford believes. He recalled I
that both he and Edison In woi k. i
ing out their plans hud lo teach
others to make almost everv niece i
of machinery they needed.
He said that the museum he Is
building near the Ford airport at I
Dearborn, Michigan, was In reality I
school with the purpose of rsak
ii)K young men efficient In some
particular art, and told of one of
his latest acquisitions, an early
printing press that Mark Twain
bad once labored oer.
The automobile nuinfacturer had
a woru 01 praise mr president
Coo lid Re, declaring that he "will
go down In history as a great
president. "
He said he believed that the
president had often been misun
derstood on the subject of econo
my. Mr. Ford expressed the opin
Ion that an aim In demanding
economy In government bad btn
to prevent "the toppling of Hie
government by too many em
ployes." WILD AUTO RIDE
